DIY Hair Clipper QC5570/13

This is my third one. Just always kept my hair short, since I started to bald a little. With no guide attached, this gives the look of almost shaved. Use it once a week, so a lot more than probably normal. Just zip it over, keep the hair at the same length. The only reason I am on the third one, is battery. Eventually they just seem to stop working. Clipper still works with power attachment. And the first one, still cuts as well as the last one. Just convenient when the battery works and it is portable. The trimmer itself is very easy to use, and the pivoting head makes life a lot easier. As you find, certain angles work best for certain parts of your head. Easy to clean, blades last forever. Like I say only issue I have ever had is the internal battery giving up the ghost, but after a long time and much usage. Still works with the power cable plugged directly in. Tried various other self cutting trimmers from various other brands. Have to say this is the easiest and best. I would either use this or just a normal powered hair clipper.

As soon as I received this and after reading the instructions (in easy-to-understand diagrams), I plugged it into the charger and after around 20 minutes the 'charge indicator light' stopped blinking and stayed on, which means it had fully charged. This is the first time I've ever used hair clippers, as I would always go to my local barber. However, I realised that my barber was only using hair clippers on my hair the last few times I went, so I thought "why don't I just do that myself?!". It costs 10 Euros for a haircut, so three uses of this and it will have paid for itself. Also, you have the convenience of using it when and how you want. So, I set it to 15mm and started 'clipping'. I found it incredibly easy to use, especially since you can rotate the head and this makes it much more comfortable trimming the sides & back. This Philips Hair Clipper cuts effortlessly and after I had finished, I thought to myself "this is bloody great!". Really though, it's so simple and I would say that the only slightly cumbersome thing is if you want to make a straight line or just tidy up the hair below the back of your head. I used my 'Gillette Fusion ProGlide 3-in-1 Styler' in conjunction with a mirror to do that. I think this is fantastic value for money considering what you'll save not going to a barber/hair stylist and the convenience it brings. This is a great tool to own.

I have purchased these in the past and lasted ages, actually still running. They have the ability to rotate the head to different angles. I don’t use the often as they are just pretty small, ergonomic and easy to hold. The battery lasts pretty well, usually for a few cuts. What I love is the adjustable clipper combs. You get 2 interchangeable, one is grade 1-3 and the other 3-12 I believe. I find it much more convenient. Just rotate the collar and it adjusts the grade. Saves having to change and store a bunch of individual combs. They cut cleanly, I’ve never had them tug or yank my hair. Actually use them even to clip my stubble when it’s got too long for the electric shaver. Only reason I’ve taken a star away is because the combs are a bit fragile. My last clippers still work but the small clips that hold the combs in place broke off and actually split between the combs of the larger one. What really peeved me was the price trying to find replacements. If they had been a few pounds this would have been a 5 star product but at over 10 I couldn’t justify it. Seemed better value at the price to just buy a new set of clippers. If this has been helpful, a thumbs up would be appreciated :)

The best hair clippers i ever had, fabulous for grip and movement.

If you're like me and want short hair without the fuss then this is ideal! With it's rotating hand grip, and rechargeable battery it's great for a quick trim - short back and sides and that sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, it's not a replacement for a good trip to the Barbers, but with practice, it can ALMOST be as good. I tend to have a 3 cuts with the Clippers to 1 Barbers cut ratio, just to make sure my hair is blended and thinned out on top as it gets quite thick. At £30 that means it's paid for itself in the cost (or savings as it stands) of 3 haircuts 3 weeks apart. Not a bad return really. The picture shown is my most recent effort with the Hair Clippers but do bear in mind I've had about a years use AND PRACTICE with the Clippers, so I am perfecting my cutting style over time. I use 2 mirrors, to see the side and back of my head, and take about 30-40 minutes each time. The rotating hand grip is great, especially when I trim the LHS of my head, as, being right handed, I struggle with precision in that area. My best advice (what works for me in other words) is to use a long blade guard, say 11-13mm about an inch or so above the ear and go right around my head. Then work downwards round my head adjusting the blade lengths shorter as I go lower, 11-13mm, 9-11mm, 7-9mm, 5-7mm, 3-5mm,etc. This minimises any Do It Yourself Clipper disasters, as it's unlikely you'll create a wedge if you follow this method correctly, and any errors will be no worse than some of the awful cuts I've had AND paid for! Battery life is excellent, and I've not had any guard breakage, as mentioned in other reviews. It did come with some oil for the blades, but the instructions say the blades are self-sharpening and I haven't felt the need to use the oil (yet)? If you just TAKE YOUR TIME and don't attack your hair like Sweeney Todd the first couple of times, your confidence in cutting and your style will be fine! If I can do it, any bloke can! Just check out the photo! 5* Clippers from a well respected (by me) brand. Update: 27th June 2020 - I'm aware that many folk will be looking for good quality hair clippers especially with the Covid-19 lockdown. I've included a 2nd photo (using a mirror) to try and show how my haircut looks at the back. I've now decided to cut out the Barbers altogether when lockdown is finally over and go solo with respect to cutting my hair. I just wanted to demonstrate that it was possible to replace those costly haircuts and put yourself in control, and show that my clippers are still going strong - every 7-10 days in fact!

Good shaver

This model works as described. I bought it as a replacement for the earlier Philips model which served me well for years. And I am not disappointed.

Im Gegensatz zu sonstigen Haarschneidemaschienen habe ich keine Probleme mit geschnittenen Haaren die sich zwischen Messer und Kammaufsatz sammeln . Zudem schön kompakt und durch den drehbaren Schneidekopf angenehm in der Handhabung.

Blades are quite sharp and fit the purpose

J’utilise la tondeuse pour les cheveux et là barbe c’est très bien je suis très satisfait à bientôt

Comoda perché si impugna bene testina regolabile a 180 gradi con le lame arrotondate non si rischia di tagliarsi ottima autonomia della batteria facile da pulire è la seconda che compro per me è davvero unica la consiglio assolutamente.
