No worries,
By Mendoza (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips QC5170 Hairclipper (Personal Care)
Have been cutting my own hair with clippers for 9 years now; up to now I used conventional Remington clippers.
I always managed to leave a clump of hair somewhere, which was always annoying. I ordered these last week as they were even cheaper than eBay (£25 at time of buying). Was put off by the other guy's feedback, but researched elsewhere and he's in the minority. The are pefectly sturdy, idiot-proof to use and best of all I didn't miss a bit; plus can be used from mains or rechargeable. Highly recommended.

Will have paid for itself in 4 months,
By
This review is from: Philips QC5170 Hairclipper (Personal Care)
Having gradually reduced my hair length down to a "Number 1" all over, I figured that I could carry on paying £3.00 to have it done by someone else, or I could just get myself suitably equipped, and do it myself.
I was a little pensive at what to get, having bought a Scherna male grooming trimmer a couple of years ago and found that to be shockingly poor, but then I saw the Philips QC5170 and decided it was worth a go. I read the various user reviews, including the scatheing ones, but I have to say that I've had no problems with it what-so-ever. The manual clearly states that the number guide on that back is only a reference to tie-in to which of the two combs you have on at the time. They bear no relation to barber-shop "Grades" at all, so it's entirely your own fault if you go too low. I find a suitable length for me at the moment is with the smaller comb on and the setting at number 2. That to me roughly equals what I would have had as a "Number 1" at the barbers. I suspect going down to the 1 would be the rough equivalent to a Half-Grade at the barbers. The rotating head is novel and not just a gimmick. It is genuinely useful for getting a better angle on doing your own hair. The comb attachments fit on in such a way as to give you a slightly cushioned feeling when you run the device over your head. The whole unit fits comfortably in the hand and isn't too heavy or ungainly. The charge that the unit retains I find particularly good. One full charge seems to last for ages. On the whole, I find the QC5170 to be an essential purchase for someone in the market for such a device, and I was pretty happy to pay £40.00 for it, so any less is practically a bargain!

Idiot proof,
By
This review is from: Philips QC5170 Hairclipper (Personal Care)
At first the idea of cutting your own hair just feels wrong; like you're being cheap. But while the clippers certainly pay for themselves soon enough, cost isn't the only reason to go down this route. Cutting your own hair fits in well with the rest of your routine and feels surprisingly natural once you get started. It means you can cut more frequently and integrate it with your shave.
Of course, I'm speaking as someone who's bald on top and keeps what little hair he has left short (which, ironically, means cutting more frequently than those with a full head of hair). If you've enough for any other style, DIY is obviously going to be tougher. Nevertheless, these are more or less idiot proof. Just start on a long setting and go down through the grades until you hit the right one. However, there is no full charge indication; you're instructed to charge for at least 8 hours and no more than 24 hours. There should be full charge light and cut out. Also the clippers are a little noisy, it's not excessive, but you can't hear them cutting the hair, which would be useful especially at the back. (It's worth adding that my wife didn't spot that I'd not gone to the barber.)
