Round edged blades and combs
2D Contour following comb

Everyone's head is shaped slightly differently, and your hair follows these natural curves. This means that ordinary hair clippers with fixed combs have difficulty following the curves of your head, often resulting in an uneven and patchy shave. Featuring flexing 2D combs, Philips QC5530 gently follows the contours of your head for a smooth, even and comfortable hair cut. The flexible guide 2D comb automatically follows every curve of your head and neck to achieve an even trim easily and comfortably.

Skin-friendly blades and comb

The Philips QC5530 is designed to make the whole grooming experience is kind to your skin. That's why this clipper has been designed with rounded edges on the blades and combs. By avoiding sharp edges, the clipper reduces scratching the skin for a more comfortable experience, allowing you to use the clipper as often as you want, maintaining your style without irritating your skin.

How to get the best results

Do not turn the cutting element or the comb attachment. The swivel head allows you to hold and use the clipper like a styling comb. Do not turn the swivel head more than 90 degrees to the left or right. You can move the clipper in different directions on your head to get the desired results. This hair clipper can be used for clipping and contouring your own scalp hairs.

100% washable hair clipper

Most hair clippers can be difficult to keep clean, as inevitably there are hundreds of tiny hair clippings which can collect around the clipper.

Conveniently the Philips QC5530 does not have this problem. This clipper has been designed to be washed under a tap to ensure you get a thorough clean in seconds rather than minutes.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality, did the job perfectly 18 Aug 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    Usually I let my hair get quite long before going and getting a short cut at the local barbers (about £10 a time). As my hair on top is getting slightly thinner and more noticeable when my hair is longer I wanted to be able to keep it short regularly trimming it back.
    I used the "medium" comb on its longest setting to achieve the length I wanted. I were pleasantly surprised when the end result was a great even cut all over. Trimming loose hairs at the back of your head is hard but the rotating head and hand mirror makes it easier.

    The quality is great and Phillips seem to have put a lot of research into the development of this product to make it as easy as possible for the end user to operate.

    4 Stars because even though it is a great product, for the price I think it should have included a case/ bag of some sort for storage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Cut' Above The Rest! 18 Sep 2011
    I bought a pair of these clippers from another website because there was a four week wait for Amazon's £29.99 bargain pair and I needed them quickly. I had an old pair of Babyliss clippers that were getting increasingly hotter every time I used them and the grade one comb guide I used had begun to melt.

    I was always quite happy with my Babyliss clippers until I started to use these. They are nice and light without being too light and plasticy and glide over my head so smoothly that it takes half the time to cut my hair. The clippers come with three comb guides, a precision trimmer, a cleaning brush and a handheld mirror. The mirror has an elastic hand strap so you can use it with one hand and not worry about dropping it. There is no hairdresser's cape or carry case included with this item which is a slight negative but can be forgiven for the quality of the items you do get.

    I normally cut my hair down to grade one (3mm), and was worried when I bought these that they wouldn't cut as short as I like, but using the shortest of the comb guides (1-3mm) I got a perfect cut at 3mm. I even went a bit shorter to 2mm and will use this setting from now on - but beware - 1mm doesn't sound like a big difference but it's quite significant, especially, if like me you are blonde haired. I now look completely bald!

    The rotating head on the clippers is a great idea but does take some getting used to - persevere and you'll get there in the end!

    All in all, I would highly recommend this item and am so glad I bought them myself - any doubters should take the plunge and wouldn't regret it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Philips QC5530 - Quality Bit of Kit 9 Dec 2011
    Having used multiple clippers over the years (generally binning them when the guard attachments broke - I admit I'm too lazy to try and get replacements), these are by far the best clippers I've owned to date. I've had all sorts - corded, cordless, ceramic... The main difference I notice is the weight of them, extremely light (perhaps half the weight of other clippers I've had) - yet despite this they are as powerful and perfectly up for the job. Even though I've never had a issue with other weightier clippers, the lightness of these really helps when cutting your own hair. Yeah the head part rotates, yeah it helps somewhat (mainly for comfort if you take an age to get the back of your hair right) but honestly the main sell point is the weight and value. Of course they only get 5* because they do a good, even job of cutting too.

    Guards go from 1mm-30mm, can also be used without a guard for tidying sideburns etc. Blades are self-sharpening/maintaining so no worries there. Also waterproof but I don't trust them/me quite enough to stick them under the tap just yet; the typical brush is included for a quick clean. There's a mirror included to help you see the back of your head, nice touch. Unfortunately no carrying pouch so bit of a fumble to get them back into the box... nevermind.

    Charging takes 1hr to fully charge which equals 1hr of cutting time... nice and quick, other clippers always took an age to charge and I had to think 'ahead' to charge up beforehand. A flashing light indicates when charging and a solid-state light shows when charged. They can be used with the charger attached for emergency head sharpening events, but much better to use cordless.

    Fully recommended!
