The bes
These are insane I’ve had my fair few hair clippers and I must say these are by far the best I’ve so far they look like they’ve come from the future and you can even feel it gliding thru ur hair these are a MUST
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Hair Cu
Great and easy to use for a hair cut. Excellent selection of lengths and easy to set up an d use
I’ve been using a 5000 series for a couple of years, over all the 5000 is a great trimmer but I found myself accidentally changing lengths as I change grip during cuts which wasn’t ideal.
Anyway, decided to re-do my bathroom, out with the old in with new… and I splashed out on the 9000 series.
Mechanically, seems much the same as the 5000 which was slightly disappointing at first, not sure what I was expecting at the 5000 cut perfectly well – but once charged, soon I came to really enjoy the digital interface on the 9000, just knowing the battery level was nice compared to times past where the the light just starts flashing red mid-cut.
The Memory setting is pretty crucial, I found myself able to tap the memory setting and do the sides / top & even went over my beard just fine.
Note: To set memory (when turned off) select the desired length, hold the M until the 1 flashes on the right hand side, then release & hold M again for about 5 seconds and the screen with say “SET” when stored… just tap the M to switch to 1>2>3, and hold the button again to store it.
And discovering the cutter Locks the length when you power it on was great, no longer will I accidentally shift up/down lengths by mistake.
“Auto-Turbo” concerned me slightly, as generally I’ve found with all my philips cutters I turn it on and hit the turbo button – that’s just how it is! but the automatic really doesn’t need much/any noticeable resistance before the Turbo function kicks in and it leaves it running for a few seconds, much to my surprise it was pretty seamless.
Overall – The cut is great, ergonomically it worked just fine never felt uncomfortable, love that it locks the length, memory settings are great for bouncing between lengths & no longer will I think to myself do I usually do this a 8 or a 10.. it’s simply what I stored.
So, I’m glad I went 9000 series and short of a huge price jump – it’s just what I’ll buy in future.
Increments make all of the difference.
After my 12 year old Remington trimmer gave up the ghost, i decided to look for a more upto date version. I soon stumbled across this Philips model Series 900.I have used it now for about 6 weeks. It’s very lightweight with an ergonomic feel to the handling. Very precise increments when altering the depth of the cutting guide. You are supplied with 3 of these, so trimming of hair and beards is limitless to the desired length. The battery life of this model is surprisingly long lasting and quickly recharges itself.
After over a decade using my old model, technology in this field has moved on considerably.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great shavers
Great shavers but for the price I expected a bag to keep everything togethe
5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
Bought this to cut my husband’s hair, and i am not a skilled barber!
Awesome clippers for the price
Best shaver I have for the price. I use this for anthing from head, back, beard and chest (fully cleaned before each area!). Even more ideal that it’s waterproof so you can just stick it under the tap and wash away the hair. Would buy agai
Poor instructions
Husband thought the instructions were difficult to understand as in pictures I like picture instructions so explained it all to him and he was able to use them easily however he went on about the instructions for hours!!! Thank you Phillips!
Great clippers – way more efficient than our old ones and the cordless design is great. However, the sizes range from 3-28 which we figured might include half sizes but in fact they are in mm. Used a 3 instead of the usual 2 to be safe and it was very short – less than a 1 in the usual system. We know for next time though!
Good Hair Trimmers
Bought these trimmers to replace an older
Wahl trimmer. Like the way it cuts your hair
and channels the thicker bits smoothly away
from the blade. Seem well made, impressed
Excellent clippers
Give a first class finish and very easy to operate. Better than the more expensive version of these that I previously had and feel more robust.
I haven’t been to a barbers/hair dresser in years since using Philips hair clippers….must have saved a small fortune!
Remember though….these are clippers not a head shaver. If you want a smooth finish get a shaver…as clippers go I don’t think you can beat Philips. Nice quality.
Well pleased.
Easy cu
Philips brand stays top haircut machine for me,
easy to use,
no need to lubrificate,
no marks or scratches on skin after use
no high blade heat for in my case 10-20 min of use
decent battery life, light machine.
easy to use
I recently purchased the Philips hair trimmer and I have to say, I am extremely impressed with its performance. The trimmer is well-designed and easy to use, with a comfortable grip that makes it simple to maneuver around my head. The adjustable comb allows me to achieve the perfect length for my hair, and the precision blades ensure a clean and even cut every time.
I appreciate the versatility of this trimmer, as it can be used for trimming both facial hair and head hair. The included attachments make it easy to switch between different lengths and styles, and I love that I can use it for everything from shaping my beard to trimming my hair.
Another great feature is the cordless design of the trimmer, which allows for complete freedom of movement. The battery life is impressive, lasting for a long time on a single charge, so I don’t have to worry about running out of power during a trimming session.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Philips hair trimmer to anyone in need of a versatile and efficient grooming tool. The quality and performance of this trimmer are top-notch, and it has quickly become an essential part of my grooming routine. Whether you’re looking to shape your beard, trim your hair, or both, this trimmer is sure to get the job done.
I have only just got these clippers, but one thing to note, start off with a longer length setting than you’re used to. I had Wahl clippers previously, and always used the 3mm guard. I have today used the 3mm setting on the new Philips clippers and my hair is ALOT shorter! So although they seem good and work well, I would suggest you start off long and work out which setting is best for you.
Good but misses short cuts
Bought it to replace an old model I had. I use it to cut my own hair and usually I play with length from 0-3 in my sides. This Philips lowest size is 3 only so can’t cut my hair shorter than that so it’s pretty annoying for grading and fading. For the rest works perfectly
Modern multi length mens hair trimmer.
Top brand, well designed mens hair trimmer, easily charged and lasts at least an hour in constant use. Bought one at the start of the Covid Lockdown and as it has multi click in size variation comb guides, you simply click in the preferred length comb, set the digital length making sure to lock the length by holding the memory button (tip keep checking the memory is displaying the correct size as it is possible to accidently alter it) for which there are three. Make sure to keep the base of the clicked in comb to the scalp then simply glide it from back to front or reverse. Do a final redo all over and it should be neat. Then if shorter needed on sides then start at bottom and left up where you want it to blend in (take the length guide off to shave as such of course) Simple really. To sum up, found this so useful that have just bought this one as a ‘spare’ so no need to worry about being discontinued and found out spare diamond technology cutter replacements are quite expensive. Can only highly recommend it even around the 80 mark and if you see it cheaper still then grab it whilst you can, like I did for my spare one.
Cuts very well - uniform and fas
As I am getting to an age where my hair has receded, and balking that I don’t get a 50% discount at barbers, I thought I would get one of these to cut my own hair with the assistance of my wife. I also wanted something short as combovers don’t look good on me (or most people). This is a great product, which I selected on the basis of the reviews. Cuts through hair very easily and quickly, and the hair is cut to a nice uniform length, with no bits sticking out. Clippers are very easy to adjust and I like that they have a large variety of settings, in 1 mm increments. Some suggested that this might be too much, but i have used the 3mm, 4mm (for sides) and 10mm for top. I might go a bit longer on top and nice to have the option of 1mm increments. Cordless is much easier to use than a corded clipper. Can’t comment on longevity, but looks and feels good quality.
Great tool
I had a version of this years ago and when it eventually died couldn’t get another that would do such long lengths. My original had a telescopic dial, whereas this is digital and that does take a bit of getting used to which is why I gave 4/5 for ease of use, but using just 3 guards to get up to 4cm long cuts is really good. Also my original was cable only but this has fab power and much less fiddly and lighter to use on battery. I’ve done about 4 hair cuts on one charge and in just a few months we have saved the cost of lots of lads getting 10 haircuts every few weeks.
I already owned a Philips 7000 clipper but wanted to cut a longer length than the 23mm possible with that product.
The series 9000 allows you to cut 1-42mm plus 0.5mm without combs. For context, 42mm allows you to cut up to just over grade 13 (41.2mm).
The battery was still going strong at the end of my first ‘learning’ trim which was longer than any subsequent uses will ever take.
The 3 length combs are easy to change although I wish you didn’t have to change just to go from grade 3 to 2 (smallest comb is 1-7mm).
3 length presets can be saved for each comb (9 total) which is very useful. I spent 10mins saving presets before my first use which saved time and hassle later.
The shape and weight of the 9000 clippers is similar to the 7000 so I’m happy with the handling. I think the 9000 has slightly better looks.
These clippers are a symmetrical design so I found them easy to use with both hands.
Fantastic clipper on the marker for longer haircuts
Best hair clipper out there for longer haircuts. All the other brands assume that you want to be bald and the combs stop at about 1 inch. Some do supply slightly longer combs (Wahl, for example) but they are made of cheap bendy plastic that can give your hair a very uneven look since the comb moves/bends whilst you cut.
The Philips clipper has a very sold plastic guard that does not move at all – no need to worry about it going squiffy. You can get very long settings on here and so are not restricted to looking like you just joined the military as you are with other clippers.
I’m super pleased with this clipper having previously used Wahl. The ONLY problem is the RIDICULOUS system for changing the cutting length – slide your finger on the touchpad and it zooms from 20mm to 40, tap it and it goes up one… or down one.. then up 5… or down 10… or zoom straight back to 10mm. Really there is little rhyme or reason to this gizmo and it can take a while to get the setting you want! They only needed 2 buttons – up + down. They have sacrificed functionality for looking cool.
Other than that, the best clipper on the market!
I bought this product to replace needs to go to barbershop.
Although I never used it for this purpose yet, but I ended up using it to shave beard.
It’s a very nice and precise hair clipper, with a minimum of 0.5 mm.
light weight and comfortable to handle.
A bit of vibration presents, but I think it’s acceptable. Not very noisy at all.
On the negative side: it needs a bad, that doesn’t come with the product. Also the plastic part of it needs to be protected as it could break easily.
But there are plenty of positive things about this. Most importantly the titanium head is very durable.
I will update my review after a while to check if it’s built to last.
Great value for the money.
precision, speed.
Utter rubbish
Cuts hair all patchy and uneven I’ve literally just smashed them to pieces after given myself the worst haircut they keep altering the length on there own soon as you put them down total crap who designs this rubbish do not buy
Excellent clipper se
I wanted to replace an older set of Philips clippers but wanted a lot of length settings to cut my and my boys hair. This product allows users to adjust by 0.1mm from 0 to 42mm or so. And so this can allow a very gradual blend between ‘grades’. The battery seems to last a long time.
A very good clipper set for people who want to be able to use a wide range of length settings.
Only negative of this product is I was disappointed it doesn’t come with a brush, comb, mirror or carry case
You know that advert for Carlsberg?
Philips should do one. “If only everything in life could be Philips, probably the best shavers…” You get the idea!
My purchase decision was based on the reviews for this and other hair clippers. I noticed that most other makes always had a few comments saying the hair clipper was pulling hair. This one had none (at least on the reviews I looked at ordered by date).
I’m usually a Wahl person. Had them for years. Heavy, good at what they do. Normally. But then the last two I’ve had, well lets just say budget cuts perhaps? One struggled to cut, the second one pulled hair. Not in a painful way, but it pulled hair and it’s supposed to cut. The blades also didn’t seem to be aligned correctly.
This Philips HC5632/13 is amazing.
Lightweight (quality isn’t always heavy!)
Cuts with no pulling of hair.
No huge collection of different combs for different lengths of hair.
First time cut of my hair
Freedom from cables (once you’ve charged it). It can be used whilst connected though, should it run out of charge!
The shape, although it appears strange at first, fits in your hand like it should. Ergonomic.
Easily cleaned, just run it under the tap.
The quickest haircut with the least amount of fuss I’ve ever done! 10 minutes, cut and cleaned. Because I DIDN’T have to keep going over my head for parts the clippers had missed!!
I’ve always been a fan of Philips shavers and now they’ve won me over with these hair clippers .
Would I recommend them? Yes
Would I buy them again? Definitely
Should you buy it? That’s your choice, but for the price (I paid 36.99) it’s a steal!
Easy to use and long battery life
Excellent quality as expected from Philips. Finely adjustable cutting lengths and sharp precise blades. The powered cutting length function is a bit of a gimmick but is fun and the digital display ensures you have consistent trimming lengths.
Best hair clipper with a brand you can trus
Best hair clippers ever gone over my head no tug or pull easy glide so light nice feel in the hand very comfortable hold however you want to.
1hr charge giving you 2hrs of use maintenance free self sharpening titanium blades touch screen with a motor that adjusts the length and you can set presets so when you use them next time you know what you used last with 3 lengths to save in the memory. A brand you can trus
Assurance of neat and clean hair cut, despite the 'lockdown'
This item was a God-send for me, especially now with the nervousness around seeking ‘safe’ Barber services. I’m very impressed by it’s ability to adjust the blades, in ways that enable precision while cutting my hair. It is very light, and gentle to handle, making for a relatively easy experience. ‘Philips’ have continued to impress me as a result. I highly recommend this product.
As have many other men, I have been inflicting DIY haircuts on myself during the pandemic.
I had an old set of clippers I had bought from Lidl a few years ago that had been used primarily for beard trimming as well as tidying hair between visits to the barbers.
These eventually died, the battery wouldn’t hold charge long enough to trim my hair and I was starting to look like the chap out of Human League (for those of you old enough to remember the 80’s), long hair one side and very short the other!!!
Purchased these because I have a Philips beard trimmer which is brilliant. Took an hour to charge them from new as the battery was totally flat.
Used these the first time and wow, not only can I cut my hair in one go now, they are quicker and remarkably easy to use. With my old clippers I struggled to get hair the correct length on top, particularly around the crown but with these they seem to keep the hair within the guides much better and as a consequence I have hair an equal length all over the top with far less effort. I also find they are easier to lift and blend hair at the sides with the top, which I always cut longer than the sides.
As with my beard trimmer, the guides stay at the selected length in use (did have a couple of mishaps with the guides slipping on my old clippers) and need a very deliberate action to change the length.
Even my wife noticed the fact I wasn’t in the bathroom for the best part of an hour when cutting my hair this time and eventually, after much micky taking, did comment on the fact that the end result looked better than normal as I had no clumps, or worse still thin patches.
As with any activity like cutting your own hair, make sure you know how the clippers work before starting. This model does not allow for any accidental adjustment of length which is a real bonus. Start by setting the guides to a slightly longer length than you might actually want as I have found different brands have different interpretations of any length selected, 21mm to one manufacturer is 18mm to another…not so bad at longer lengths but potentially disastrous at shorter lengths. When finished, if it is longer than you want then you can go over your hair again with the guide at shorter length but you can’t add hair back if you set it too short in the first place as I have seen on another reviewwhere the reviewer blamed the clippers. Just remember the old adage about a bad workman and his tools!
Yes, these clippers are good. If they ever die I will be buying the same again.
Great hair trimmer.
I had a Philips unit before and it eventually broke down after many years of use. Was always happy with it and stayed with the brand.
This does everything you could wish for and cuts really well. No need for oil which is something I really like.
I’m very pleased with the brand and no doubt this will give me years of great service.
I found it brilliant,
With a single charge my wife managed to cut my son hair and mine twice.
Nice and comfortable experience,
It’s very quiet and cuts hair with ease without pulling it.
Every attachment has a number written: 1-7, 7-24, 24-42 which is very easy to change by just pulling it out and push another one in.
Blades are also very easy to take off and clean by click of a button on back side.
Even though there’s no pouch or stand which would be very handy, it fits nicely in to a box 22x11x7
We are very happy in this lockdown days to have it
Fast charge 60min for 3 haircuts and still some battery lef
Serious bit of kit.
This was the first time have ever cut anyones hair with one of these, so cannot compare with another one. It did the job much better than I could have done with scissors. Think it would be great for a professional.
Philips Series 5000 hair trimme
Great battery life. Very light weight and easy to hold. However, it is also very easy to accidentally change the blade length without realising. For an expensive, quality item I would have expected a case or pouch to keeper the trimmer and blades in once removed from the packaging.
Lockdown mop no more
Bought to allow home hair cut. I never ever had a clippers cut so thought that these with a wide cutting range would be best. My wife found them easy to use and handle and I’m really happy with the result. She won’t let me use them on her- why are ladies so fussy about hair?
Covers all hair types
This is so handy to adjust to so many hair lengths. Memory function is good to have and good battery life. I recommend it and am very happy with i
Fantastic
Have had various clippers of reputable makes over the years. This set really beats them all. Good reliable brand, spares available. Good guarantee extended by on line registration. Easy to use, accurate and electronic adjustment is brilliant idea, at first I thought it sounded tricky but it is so simple. Comfortable to hold, no vibrations, excellent comb width. Highly recommend.
A must if you want a normal length haircut.
If you are fed up with people laughing at you in work for cutting your hair too short then get this item.
The maximum length is 42mm. I trimmed the top at 42 then dropped it it 35.
Sides slightly less than this 28mm. Cannot believe I did such a good job. Looks quite professional.
No need to wear a hat for a couple of weeks either. Do not try to rush the cut let the trimmer do the work.
It only took me 10 to 15 mins.
Excellent Produc
Brilliant product. I usually spend 25 every 4 weeks getting my hair cut. I now cut my own hair once a week. It takes 10 minutes and I much prefer how it looks!
A little over-engineered!
Does a nice job, but I can’t help feel that the cut length adjustment is over-engineered. My previous Philips clippers had a nice easy-to use dial that rotated to adjusting cut length. This updated model has a touch-sensitive motor-driven adjuster which, to me, seems a bit over-the-top and less easy to use when compared to the old manual adjuster design that worked perfectly well. And I’m not sure how many people need 0.1mm adjustment steps. But, gripes aside, it is a good produc
Philips Series 9000 Hair Clipper, An excellent machine.
I purchased this Philips Series 9000 Hair Clipper on amazon.co.uk and I am so happy with the machine that I’ve forgotten the price of it already but I do remember that I got it in a special offer.
Even if I had to pay the full price for this particular machine it would have been worth every penny, and then some.
Besides, one can never go too far wrong with a Philips product.
Quality product - a year o
Bought this a year back. Has been very helpful . The primary reason was to save on my little boys’ hair cut that costs 15 a session in East Sheen. This clipper, with its settings, makes the job easy, helped me bond with my son .. and then it was priceless during Covid. Have used it to trim my own and with a bit of practice, now do not need a barber so often. It has saved us some serious money ( relative – as my wife and daughter do not trust my skill nor the machine) and a headache of finding a barber during lockdown …
Best purchase i've made this yea
Ordered these a day before the lockdown started as at the time I couldn’t be sure how long it would be until my next haircut. These Phillips Hair Clippers are so easy to use, and the memory function ensures I get the right cut every time. Am thinking I may not need to go to a barbers ever again. Great Deal!!
Fantastic for lockdown!
At first, I though the adjustment feature would be a bit of a gimic. As it turns out, it’s ideal for DIY hair cutting facing a mirror – you can get on with the job without having to constantly change the guard. Cutting is clean and accurate. Battery just keeps going too!
Works really well for hair and beard
I’ve tried this on my hair, I had no issues with clipping at 28mm, seems to be even but you do need to go over the same area a few times. I used it to trim my beard, again it works really well on different lengths. I think it helps that I have thick hair and not whispy hairs.
Quite and fast results. Can be used for head and beard.
Item comes with 3 attachments, length is touch adjusted to a single mm, strong cutting action. Screen is easy to read. One thing is it can not be submerged in water, can only clean head attachment after removing.
Overall it is a good item and great value for money.
Would recommend
Just the job for both male and female haircuts during Covid 19 closures, when it’s not easy to get to a hairdresser. Good battery life. The controls not the easiest to figure out, but soon got the hang of it. There aren’t many clippers that go beyond grade 8, so this is a good buy if you’re wanting one that goes up to grade 13.
Brilliant and easy to use
Love these clippers. Im stuck at home and have ben able to cut my own hair.
Very easy to change settings and it automatically recognises the attachment displaying the cut length.
If you need clippers, these are the ones for you.
Recommended +++++
what no barbers
Brilliant tool. Had to buy it due to chinese disease. No barbers Tried it for first time and it made a great job. Ten haircuts and its paid for itself. No more expensive barber shops for me anymore with results like this
Precision as described
It’s coronatime, so I needed to take matters into my own hands. I usually ask the barber for scissors on top and blade on the sides, so this was a factor in choosing the precision 9000 as it comes with a 42mm max setting. Needless to say, this was more than enough. I only needed 30-34mm on top and 9mm on the sides in the end. Love the millimeter adjustment settings and would say that I got a haircut as good as the barbers. The only hard part is round the ears.
If your hair isn’t usually clippered but you can’t get to a hairdresser (eg, as now, they’re all closed because of coronavirus) this could be just what you want, because it will genuinely leave your hair up to 42mm long, which is almost an inch and three-quarters. As an emergency alternative to getting a proper haircut it is much better than I was expecting. Rather than letting the SO loose with a pair of scissors you can do yourself a decent haircut in a few minutes without any risk of an embarassing accident. I think it’ll be best used every couple of weeks rather than waiting as long between haircuts as normal. Absolutely brilliant, highly recommended.
A Cut Above
Excellent pair of clippers, you do get what you pay for, I’ve been using them for over a year, they are easy to use and they do have a very large length selection, if your that fussy. The length is easy to adjust and locks when in use so you can’t accidently change the setting. I mostly cut my own hair but my wife does assist from time to time, we both find them comfortable to use and are the best I’ve used in over 40 years , and I’ve gone through a lot of different makes in that time.
Cuts beautifully, longer length attachments than most, and feels very high tech
Very happy with this. A premium product, and has the advantage of a longer cut for on top (42mm). The auto adjust feature and 3 stored lengths is very handy indeed, and feel more secure than more clip on attachments. It’s a bit bulky, but that didn’t affect my cut too much, just felt a bit different to most.
he variable clipper settings are locked once in use
Great device my only concern is the plastic comb will eventually perish and crack and render the clippers unusable which is what happened to my previous Phillips clippers after several years of use.
Shaves me some time
This thing has made my life that tiny bit more easier, I love it.
It charges quickly and holds onto it for ages, there’s no plugging in, for me it was always a case of getting an extension chord all the way to the bathroom (which came with a slight fear of being in a spot of danger) and then plugging my old electronic shaver in to do my hair or beard, where now I just lift this thing out of my shaving bag and turn it on, spot on.
The quality of the cut is excellent too, I’m no pro, but I have cut my own hair for years and I can say this shaver does a great job, just as good if not better than my wired one.
To me the shaver seems to be well made and out of good and sturdy plastics, I feel this will be in my self grooming collection for some time.
It’s easy to use and well made and not expensive, get it of you need it.
A good value for money device that does what it says.
This device is light and does the trick overall, would recommend. Has numerous height settings as advertised. Easy to use, although you need to keep flat to the area as possible to get the best results when using the height adjusters.
Very good produc
After reading the reviews I was unsure, however this clipper had the capability to cut longer hair (up to 42mm) which no other product offered. After using it I found it excellent and easy to use. The blades and the clipper itself are of very good quality so am happy with the purchase.
Absolutely brilliant!
I chose these Philips Hair clippers for it’s longer length settings as I didn’t want to end up looking like I’d just joined the army. Initially I was nervous of making a mess of it, but I looked at a YouTube video of using hair clippers which proved very useful before starting. I needn’t have worried though, I found it very easy to get an even look. It’s a bit awkward with the reverse nature of looking in the mirror, so I did it more by feel and then checking in the mirror.
All in all I was very impressed with my first attempt. In fact I was more pleased than my trip to the hairdresser. I’m sure with practice I can get it better. I also like the thought of the money I’ll be saving.
The best hair clippers for men, very powerful and smooth cutting!!!.
Love this product, great for cutting my own hair, the best hair clippers I have ever used, very powerful and smooth cutting. I am a 46 year old man and this product will mean no more expensive trips to the barbers/hairdressers, I this product pays for itself within 2 months.
Great produc
This is the best set of clippers I have owned and I’ve been through quite a few sets, love the digital adjustment as long as you check it regularly. Has on occasion changed cutting depth with me noticing so my son had a closer than expected trim.
The Philips 9000 clipper is in some ways better and in some ways worse than the 5450 clipper. Both have great titanium blades. Both cut really well. The older (5450) has in my opinion better grip and gives you the option to select standard/turbo mode manually. The newer (9000) does not allow manual turbo mode but it switches on the turbo mode when cutting more thick hair. This probably helps optimise battery life (yet I personally am used to have the turbo mode on all the time). The new (9000) clipper has electronic (instead of manual) cutting length adjustment which in my opinion is unnecessary complication (the manual setting on 5450 is good enough).
In terms of cutting quality both are equal. Please note that Philips also sells similar models (with slightly different model numbers) with steel blades, I tried one and it was horrible (bulling hair etc). So make sure you buy a model with titanium blades.
Improved.
I’ve had the old one to this around 6 years ago… they have improved massively on the attachments as the old ones were really bad. The only negative is the settings are fiddly!
Excellent produc
Really good hair clipper with the usual perfect service from Amazon.
The product itself is extremely easy to use and provides excellent results. Its battery is long lasting and the clipper does work even with the power plug connected (whilst charging).
Would definitely recommend.
Manual clipper easier to use
Bought this specifically for the 42mm length comb. Would prefer if this was a manually operated clipper. Since its touch sensitive it’s easy to mistakenly adjust the cutting length with the slip of a finger.
Be careful when using without the guard as very easy to nip skin.
Nice enough clippers, easy to set, control and handle. Made a decent job of cutting my hair. Made a mistake when I first used them and ended up having to cut my beard off.
I’ve had these clippers for a while now, after a combination of rising barber bills and receding hairline made me question whether there was a better option. I was a little nervous about cutting my own hair in case I ended up making a terrible mistake and having to wear a hat for a few weeks, but it’s hard to go wrong with these clippers. The guards all make sure that the length is exactly as you’ve dialled in and the charge lasts for a long time. I clip my hair once a week and charge it probably once every month or six weeks. There’s plenty of length settings to choose from to suit whatever cut you’d like and the lock ensures that while the clippers are active you can’t accidentally change the preset. They come with a little brush to dust them off afterwards which keeps them looking clean. The only downside is they’re not great at catching all the wispy type hairs at the back of your neck if you’ve got a guard on. They do work for those if you take the guard off but when clipping your own hair that can be a risky move if you aren’t careful.
Good prduc
Well made easy to adjust depth of cut especially with presets clear readout on screen can’t be changed when on so no mistakes easy to clean cuts with no snagging
Like a hot knife through butte
Incredible! I’ve been cutting my hair at home for the past 14 years and for the past 7 years I had a Babyliss hair cutter which I bought from Tesco in 2011. It would get stuck while I was using it and I’d have to struggle along with it, making cutting my hair a real chore. My brother has a Wahl and it was the same so I assumed they’re all like this.
Imagine my delight when I used this yesterday to cut my hair and it glided through like a hot knife through butter! Not a hint of slowing down or getting stuck. It was effortless. And it’s also MUCH lighter than the Babyliss or Wahl and far more powerful. These titanium blades must be super sharp because it cut perfectly.
Not only that, but I’ve been wanting a machine that allows for a longer cut. Most machines only go up to number 8 but this goes much longer, so I don’t have to have super short hair all the time.
This is absolutely the best!!
Wow, I’m so glad I took the plunge and purchased this. I have already used it several times after watching some YouTube tutorials, and am really pleased with the results. It is so easy to use, and the fact it is cordless is just brilliant. Only takes an hour to fully charge and so far I haven’t had to recharge. I don’t obviously need a choice of 400 lengths that the clippers and the three heads supplied offer, but it’s really easy to adjust the length if u r so inclined. I can see that this is going to be used lots in our family, just to tidy up short hairstyles between barber visits for my 3 sons and husband. I even used it to tidy up my own short hairstyle, and am thrilled with the result.

For longer hair, but not long enough.
I bought this as my hair was getting too long and the quality of barbers near by is going down hill for the price I believe is of value for money. The maximum length is 42mm for me that is still too short but it is a greater length than I can find on any other clippers. At 42mm the comb style of clipper attachment struggles to cut hair that is a good deal longer and seems to clog up or push your hair away, but eventually the clipper will get to the required length. When hair is a touch long the clipper seems to work quite well at cutting hair.
Great control.
Such an easy product to use. I have used this product roughly ten times on my own hair. The results are very close to what I used to pay my hair dresser for. The many length settings allow for easy blending and professional finish.
These arrived a couple of days after ordering and well packaged. Set up and programming was easy and the battery lasts for ages before it needs recharging. The biggest plus for me though is no wire to get caught round sink taps/door handles etc. whilst cutting your hair leaving you with a line on your head like the wife’s attacked you with a kitchen knife after criticising her cooking 🙂
A word of warning though, the number one setting on these clippers was closer than a number one I had at the barbers, which was great for me but may be a little too close to the bone for others. It does make you look rough and ready though, especially if you’ve got a good face for radio like I have 🙂
In summary these are the best clippers I’ve ever used and well worth the money. Mine have already paid for themselves by not having to go to the barbers and give a better cut in my opinion. Buy them, you won’t be disappointed
Great product that works as well as the barbers!
Husband loves his new clippers. The touch screen is great and the cut is perfect. Lots of different lengths available and the memory feature is good to remember what length is used for the comb.
The battery life span is excellent.
Overall very happy with the product and Amazon customer service. First one went missing in the xmas post and Amazon sent out another the same day no questions.
Bought this recently to replace my Babyliss clipper that was starting to snag a bit and wasn’t holding its charge – barely managing to get through even one hair cut.
My girlfriend took it to my head today and I’m really surprised by how smooth it was – it doesn’t pull and no matter how thick the hair was it seemed to glide through it easily. She also said it’s very light but much easier to handle than the Babyliss so a thumbs up from her 🙂
The motorised combs are probably a bit of a gimmick and for me the chances are I won’t really need to use many of the settings as I just tend to go for a short back and sides – but having the options there certainly do no harm, and the displays do make the device look pretty snazzy 🙂
Having come from a traditional hair clipper with standard barber grade combs I found what the lengths were for each barber comb (I use 2 and 3) and then added the settings to the memory (the clipper comes with 3 combs and allows 3 settings to be stored for each comb, a great time saver).As I wasn’t sure how the the traditional barber grades would translate into mm I used slightly longer settings initially and then gradually reduced the lengths until I got it just right – I then saved these to memory ready for the next time.
On the whole this is a really good clipper but being able to set your length settings by .1 of a mm increments thus giving 400 settings is probably a bit overkill and the motorised comb are a but gimmicky but still, they do a great job and cut through even thick hair like a knife through butter. Really great value for money and also looks really nice, with a good weight and the maintenance free titanium blades should ensure they stay sharp for many years. An excellent product!
Modern & Good Quality
Top quality product. Very modern and easy to use. After choosing required cut lenght, click power button and it locks choosen setting to avoid any changes while cutting your hair. Briliant.
They should be wet and dry
I’m used to buying a different brand and my last clippers I used them for more than 10yrs and had to change them for the purpose of just changing as they were quiet good. I decided to try Philips because of the reviews. I would have given this one a 5 star but you can’t wash these clippers in water or put them anywhere near water. They cut well, they are relatively quiet, light in weight but come with no case to carry them unlike Remington which I have always used.
Easily the best clippers on the market, especially for those who like their hair longer than a number 8!
This is amazing. I like my hair a lot longer on the top than the sides and I couldn’t for the life of me find a decent hair clipper that would go a lot longer than a number 8. This goes right up to 42mm which is much longer than even I thought. It’s perfect!
The cut on this is also clean, fast, and unlike other hair clippers it doesn’t miss bits that you have to keep going over and over to try and get. It needs no oil and really is the best clippers I’ve ever seen.
If I had to be critical I’d say that the touch screen controls on the front are totally unnecessary. You select the length you want by rolling your thumb up and down (this adjusts the distance between the guard and the blade electronically) and then you press the power button lower down to lock in the length and start cutting. When it starts cutting it turns off the touch screen controls to stop you accidentally changing the length while you’re cutting obviously. However, if you like to stop and start the device as you’re using it you need to remember to keep your fingers away from the touchscreen when you stop the device or you’ll accidentally change the length!
Overall this is the best clippers I’ve ever seen or used, and is the ONLY clippers I’ve found for people who like their hair longer, as no other clippers will cut your hair up to 42mm as well as this one will. Highly highly recommended.
