The modern trimmers allow different waterproof ratings, and such abbreviations are often advertised by IPX5, IPX6, or IPX7.
But, what are these ratings?
And what is the IPX rating of the VTU trimmers?

This manual makes it easy even in the merest way.

🔍 Understanding the Term “IPX”

Where:
INgress Protection (IP) rating = IPX

IP = Waterproofing / solid protection
X = No rating (just dust tested) of dust
Final character = Water resistant level

An IPX7 trimmer is therefore a trimmer that is not dust protection involved but just water.

IPX Full levels of Waterproofing

Here’s what each rating means:

IP Rating Meaning Water Protection Level
IPX0 No protection 🚫 No water resistance
IPX1 Drip resistant Vertical water drops only
IPX2 Slight angle drip resistant 15° water angle
IPX3 Light water spray Light mist/spray
IPX4 Splash resistant Both sides not exposed to splashes
IPX5 Light water jets At thermal hydraulic temperature possible to work in the steady low-pressure water
IPX6 Strong water jets High-pressure water spray
IPX7 Immersion up to 1 meter Can be submerged for 30 minutes
IPX8 Deep water immersion Strong enough to endure IPX7; being immersed all the time

Which IPX Rating would best suit Trimmer?
