These work really well and I like the fact that they can cut right down to 1mm. My old clippers could only go as low as 3mm. I’m not so keen on the electronic length adjustment, it’s a pointless gimmick. I never looked at the old ones and thought “what these need is a motorised comb”.
Well made clipper from Philips. Ergonomic shape and easy to use but I think the 5000 series cuts just as well and I personally prefer the manual adjustment compared to the digital cutting adjustment on this model.
Love this! so convenient to use as its wireless. out of the few times ive used it, the battery had to be charged before use so could be better. But once its charged, the blades are sharp, cuts smoothly and quickly. Have been using this for every haircut and results have always been amazing. Very easy to use and adjust. I love this model as it uses a scroll wheel rather than the upgrade which is touchscreen. I think this is way more practical. Have bought this as a gift as well as the price was good. Highly recommended.
I have been cutting my husband’s hair for years and decided it was time to make my life easier by buying these clippers.
The are great for cutting and have 3 different guides for longer cuts but I haven’t really worked out how to use the sliding cut length guide on the clipper. It’s probably just me but we muddle through and his hair looks nice and tidy.
The battery has lasted several cuts so I have no idea how long it lasts, we haven’t had to charge it yet.
These replaced a previous pair which were discontinued. I didn’t want lots of parts or unnecessary features and these were the best value for money. They work well and having a roll setting means you don’t accidentally press too hard and shave off too much in one area. They are used for head hair trimming and do the job admirably.
As someone who prefers a well-groomed appearance, finding the perfect hair clipper is essential. After trying the Philips Hair Clipper Series 5000 with Trim-n-Flow PRO Technology (Model HC5632/13), I can confidently say that this device sets new standards in precision and comfort, delivering an outstanding grooming experience.
First and foremost, the Trim-n-Flow PRO Technology truly lives up to its name. The innovative design ensures a continuous and even flow of hair into the clippers, preventing clogging and enabling a smoother cutting performance. No more frustrating interruptions during grooming sessions! The result is a consistent and clean trim, whether I’m cutting my hair or grooming my beard.
The build quality of the HC5632/13 is top-notch. The clipper feels sturdy and well-made, assuring me of its durability for long-term use. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in my hand, allowing for precise control and maneuverability, even in hard-to-reach areas.
One of the standout features of this hair clipper is the wide range of cutting lengths it offers. With 28 lock-in length settings, I have complete freedom to choose my desired hair length, from a close 0.5mm trim to a more substantial 28mm cut. This versatility makes it suitable for various hairstyles and grooming preferences, accommodating my ever-changing style effortlessly.
I must commend the blades’ sharpness, as they effortlessly glide through my hair without pulling or tugging. This significantly reduces discomfort during the grooming process, making it a breeze to achieve the desired look quickly and painlessly.
The battery life of the HC5632/13 is impressive. A single charge lasts for multiple grooming sessions, making it perfect for travel or use on-the-go without worrying about frequent recharging.
Cleaning the clipper is hassle-free thanks to the detachable and washable head. After each use, I can easily remove the cutting element and rinse it under running water, ensuring proper hygiene and maintaining the clipper’s performance.
Furthermore, the hair clipper operates quietly, which is a significant plus, especially during early morning grooming sessions or in shared living spaces.

Whether it’s for professional use or personal grooming, this clipper sets a new standard in performance and comfort. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a versatile and efficient grooming solution!
My previous Philips trimmers lasted years saving a fortune in barber’s fees. These are very similar. Good design lasts!
Work equally well plugged in or on battery,
hair and beard.
Rinse under tap to clean.
I really didn’t need all the cutting lengths with this 9000 pro but I like that it locks in. The lack of a swivel head means that to cut my own hair needs practice to hold the cutter at the correct angle particularly the back of my head. I’m guessing this is no different to any others but it took a few goes to get the knack to avoid having an un-intended mohican on the back of my head! I’m now happy with it.
The inability to change out the battery ultimately means this becomes disposable, as the battery needs to be serviceable even when plugged in. Battery power, in my opinion, is essential in the UK due to the regs banning sockets in bathrooms. In this age of recycling it is not clever/green, but no different from others and cynically keeps the manufacturers in business.
Oh, as some of the other reviews mention, with this being one of the more expensive in the range, the lack of a case/bag to pack it away is particularly ‘tight’ of Phillips given some of the other less expensive versions have something.
So in summary, it’s a compromise for me which I have got comfortable with after some trial and error. I’m sure the battery will eventually go and I’ll have to chuck it away. Hope that’s not too soon. Consider whether you need the bells and whistles and could do with something to put it in and save a few on the way.
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
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.
After over a decade using my old model, technology in this field has moved on considerably.
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!
Love it, easy to clean and maintain. Has all the clip sizes I need. The grip and angle makes for smooth trimming of beard and hair. Quick recharge of the battery, which has a very good lifespan.
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.
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.
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.
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 was fully prepared for another tediously long session cutting my hair but… I was so wrong! I dialled it in, turned it on and hit turbo and it went straight through my hair with no effort at all. I have thick hair too so wasn’t expecting it to be this easy. I bought it while on offer but I think I would pay full price if I had to next time.
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!
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.
