"only a tiny down mark instructions not clear attachment use etc "

"this is very disappointing from a big bland like philips"

"other people have mentioned this and it does seem to be a very stupid design fault"

"it's a shame because it's a nice quiet light unit that seems to function well and the combs seems ok too but since i can only all but cut my beard off or leave it as it is it's a bit useless"

"i charged it once used 3 times the battery died on the 4th time and it won't hold a charge after that no matter how long or short i leave it to charge the battery dies within seconds"

"furthermore there is no case"

"i was dubious at first but the water doesn’t affect performance at all and it still works amazingly!"

"only complaint is there is no light to see when it is fully charged or needs charging"

"battery life could be better"

"it does come with a soft case which will hold everything but you will have to empty everything to find the head you are looking for"

"i don't use the hair trimmer combs attachments so can't comment on them"

"i put the body hair comb on and it dragged on the hair"

"the trimming head itself is not that big so it takes longer to trim the hair and it doesn't seem very powerful unfortunately this is an issue with most cordless trimmers"

"after no more than 1 month of use now i can't shave my head it is literally dusting my hair for some reason"

"not sure why there are so many reviews from wife's girlfriends etc who brought this for their husband and he says it's good but either way just used the shaver for the first time after finally replacing my much loved phillips norelco as the battery gave out after god knows how many years of faithful use anyway i digress this product was great a little bit fidley with the attachments my previous shaver could just slide to the required trimmer height but as i just use the 2mm fitting maybe 3mm this was fine"

"i use it with no attachments to get my stubble as short as possible and this is by far the best trimmer i have ever used"

"star knock down as shaving mechanism warming up a bit and makes shaving experience not pleasant"

"all the hair gets caught between the blades and the guide and it's really hard to get out"

"there are simply no written instructions however since using it i have worked out how to detach the attachments without screwdrivers lmao sorry for false review because i am stupid"

"crap cordless junk"

"is a good shaver and trimmer but is a little weak and a little basic for the money spent on it but overall is good"

"so not going to register online but i did cut the cardboard with the shaver on so yes it is pretty sharp and does cup thin cardboard"

"despite been a foist quality product as expected from phillips this particular model lacks trimmer heads variety"

"wouldn't recommend especially without a warranty here"

"don't get why so amazon gets 4 stars overall rating for warehouse staff issues or it being a return and re sold as new philips gets no complaints"

"multiple heads easy to swap but most probably won’t use many of them"

"when after i used i wanted to organise the parts it came with and discovered it was missing one of the clips"

"used this product for a couple months now and regret buying it simply because of the poor battery"

"it's heavier and the square shaped handle makes it less ergonomic"

"only gripe would be i wish the cord was a bit longer"

"do exactly what they are supposed too : only issue i have is the lever which controls the distance the shavers blades can make the whole top pop off too easily"

"we've had several clippers die on us including more expensive kits from big names but this one is quieter and smoother after a few months than those were when we got them out of the box"

"need to return this item but amazon tell me my return window has closed after only a month"

"also used it without the clips and used the bare blade on back hair which also worked well"

"this is the worst clippers set i have owned the product works but doesn’t cut well and has fewer attachments than other clippers with size 8 as the largest option"

"i was really disappointed"

"really really slow at cutting"

"it is a bit cumbersome and heavy depending on how you need to use it but it cuts"

"i haven't had these long but so far i can't fault them"

"these are amazing my wife cuts our boys hair at home they have autism and struggle with hairdressers etc x these are an excellent idea my wife doesnt have to hunt for the right guard now and just picks the colour"

"after wasting money for a few years for a crew cut i decided to get the wife to do at home although this cutter gets hot to the touch after about 5 mins of use it cut brilliantly and with the comb included you can trim the eye brows as well very recommend if you trust the person cutting the hair"

"i owned a wahl and shamefully in jammed up and my old basic cutter just cut out no pun intended"

"you get what you pay for i suppose but some of the reviews hype what is a very cheaply made product"

"great hair cutter coloured combs make it really easy to recognise the size you want to use"

"very noisy"

"it wont go back together properly second use completely broken"

"there's a bit of a buzzing noise from vibrations from these suggesting they're not put together as securely as they could be but they do the job"

"space was wasted on fancy coloured comb attachments which i felt was unnecessary additions"

"i thought the coloured combs where a cheesy gimmick but they help with getting the right size so no more ooopps moments all in all a cracking item"

"pros: cheap looks decent works well solid cons: chunky no bag can get very hot tendency to tug hairs out if you buzz too quickly so use a smooth movement overall though i'd say don't complain for the price"

"i took a long time reading all of the reviews of different brands wired ones rechargeable ones cheap ones expensive ones"

"these sporadic and depressing trips to the barbers have were costing me almost a tenner each time"

"this is not like professional clipper very tight height heair get stuck it dosent have the power cut i am going to through this hope i can get refund"

"it's a bit blunt so you have to be careful but otherwise very functional with all the bits and bobs you will need"

"cheap and effective and much lighter than the traditional type with the heavy vibrating motor"

"so utterly useless unless you enjoy considerable pain"

"i was actually concerned by the low price of these trimmers but the product completely proved my doubts wrong"

"it is unfortunate but i will need to return these"

"cuts hair ok but next time will probably go with a product of higher quality doesnt seem like it will last long"

"they don't they work as clippers but nowhere near as good as older set i had"

"the main issues are it gets hot fairly quickly and within minutes cuts ineffectively instead pulling on hairs at the root"

"returned this after first use it pulled hair rather than cutting it and nipped my scalp in places"

"but doesnt cut hair as good as my old one so hair looks a bit frayed static"

"you get what you pay for i suppose but some of the reviews hype what is a very cheaply made product"

"not what i expected no oil no bag noisey clippers looks as it is cheap stay clear"

"because of the hairdresser issue his hair had also become quite long but this wasn't a problem at all"

"but doesnt cut hair as good as my old one so hair looks a bit frayed static"

"great little clipper"

"also my son is autistic and having his hair cut has always been an hour long nightmare but he was absolutely fine with this"

"clipper came as described with all the extras but i’m afraid it simply won’t cut always misses hairs even after several attempts one for the bin i’m afraid"

"they don't feel as poweful as my previous ones though which were also remington but a different model"

"my previous remington was battery powered and usually lost power towards the end of the session no problems at all with this mains powered clipper"

"not being rechargeable means the output is constant so no more pulled hair when battery running down!"

"clipper came as described with all the extras but i’m afraid it simply won’t cut always misses hairs even after several attempts one for the bin i’m afraid"

"if you wanted to do feathering and fades etc you might be let down with this set"

"strictly not a barber full time shaver but seems very close negative slightly long and tacky registration guarantee procedure"

"having multiple combs it is easy to find the right measure but it is a bit a work to clean after use"

"if you are looking for a product that will give you a zero shave this is not the one"

"two minor quibbles the cord is a bit short so you have to sit quite close to the socket plug and the combs have thicker bars at each end which means the clippers only work in the central section and you have to go over the hair several times to get it all to the same length"

"cuts like a dream strong clip guide no falling off or wiggling doesn’t overheat like crazy and also doesn’t jam as much"

"they are so easy to use my arms only started to tire towards the end and i suffer with severe pain in both my upper arms and regular shoulder subluxations and dislocations"

"i've had a number of electric trimmers in the past but ran into the same problems with most the trimming guards slipping off meaning a full shave and the trimmer being more of an epilator plucking the hair from my face"

"this is the worst clippers set i have owned the product works but doesn’t cut well and has fewer attachments than other clippers with size 8 as the largest option"

"unfortunately these began to fail and would often stop working halfway through a haircut"

"nice smooth cut can not fault this product"

"our last hair clipper gave up the ghost so this arrived just in time and hubby likes"

"they do not cut tight at 0mm with guard removed as someone lied in the questions they actually cut at about 4mm which is useless if your shaving your whole head"

"i thought the coloured combs where a cheesy gimmick but they help with getting the right size so no more ooopps moments all in all a cracking item"

"always had wireless beard trimmers they clogged up with the size of my beard most of the time but i could cope oh how i was wrong these clippers are 100x better i don't know how i've managed to not have one and i'm so happy i bought these looking crisp and clean with a nicely trimmed beard the not length guard is pretty good at removing the hair you don't want too but i would recommed a razer blade for that super crisp look"

"my son has high functioning autism aspergers and going to the hairdresser is a real trauma for him"

"dont waste your money"

"i used to use the wahl chrome clippers but they had become blunt and were causing me to get ingrown hairs"

"the clip on parts look cheap plastic and may easily break"

"i’ve had a buzz cut before as a person with severe chronic pain issues and have always been tempted to buy my own clippers because it’s costly having to get one every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance but i wasn’t sure i’d be able to manage a pair"

"other than these things i can highly reccomend this device"

"looks good not used it yet my last clipper set has lasted 10 years blunt now so we shall see on this set !"

"i cant get a refund and cant contact the seller"

"i am over the moon with these as i have two grandson with autism hair cutting manger stress for them the younger like diffent colours and they are lot quitter than eny ive had in past i would buy these again in if eny thing goes wrong i got now and also great price too"

"they are a standard 3 pin plug so no batteries required"

"fell apart and caused physical injury to my 2yold son"

"the only negative thing to say about these ones is that it doesn't come with a carry case but that isn't much of an issue"

"and overall one negative thing is about the taper level"

"value for money my beard is trimmed perfectly"

"2 of my grandsons are on the autistic scale & these have been great"

"only used them once but it was as cheap as a cut a the hair dressers and my son hates going and makes me do it so he's really happy"

"noise level is low"

"but i have given it a quickie and all seems good"

"used twice and now not working total rubbish you get what you pay for can't return as return window closed will contact trading standards"

"not the best maybe for humans but this was bought for our poodle they are ok but the only thing i don't like is you carnt sharpen them so not likely to buy again"

"cleaning is also not a big thing as everything can be detached and cleaned under the sink except electric shaver "

"i have one tiny quibble"

"it is good to have it but the small booklet does not say how to use it and when i change the angle i do not know what size is it in"

"i have been in denial about my receding hairline for some years now entering a cycle of shaving it off when i get sick of my thinning top then convincing myself it might grow back thicker before shaving it off all over again"

"just the time to open the box and try it on the harm to realise that the clipper is too slow and takes a very long time to cut a few hairs and i asked a return"

"first time ever uses clippers to do my sons undercut he has a very sore and infected scalp so it’s not fair to see a hairdresser so i ordered these and thought “what’s the worse that can happen” all went well nobody died and the end result was very neat"

"all i need now is a little brush for the back of my head and a small mirror that can be held up"

"lead is about 2 feet too short compared with old one for example i stand next to a socket and it struggles to reach right round the head and i'm only 5'8""

"my son is petrified of getting a hair cut he doesn't like the noise clippers make and would be stressed and upset at the slight suggestion of using them"

"honestly i can't get over how good they are for so cheap"

"ironically not my head yet but they are really good nicely quiet and i haven't snagged myself once"

"i was a little hesitant having never used clippers before but they're very easy to use the different heads make it very easy to get the right length cut and it's actually kind of fun using them"

"they seem to last about 10 years of use trimming my stubble once a week and my hair every second or third"

"despite the photographs these clippers are mains powered not battery this is not made overly clear on amazons website"

"worth getting some sewing machine oil for it just to prevent possible problems"

"i contacted the seller several times and they did not respond"

"a little clipper oil wouldn't of gone amiss but at this price i'm not going to complain!"

"doesn't go low enough but!"

"nor did i find it heavy or awkward to hold"

"watched a few u tube vids and got a few tips but didn't really need it"

"i would like it if the cord was longer but cant complain cos the price is good"

"can't complain for the price"

"it also took a very long time to get all my hair to the same length probably because i was trying to avoid as much pain as possible"

"so i still don’t have a refund"

"cuts like a dream strong clip guide no falling off or wiggling doesn’t overheat like crazy and also doesn’t jam as much"

"don’t buy this product"

"with attachment on they will not trim my beard shut pulls hairs maybe ok for children's hair sitting on a seat but no good for mine"

"the clip on parts look cheap plastic and may easily break"

"the guards are quite flimsy even compared to the wahl clipper set i had before which were more than twice the price"

"and by refuse i mean will run off and hide and scream if we ender a barbers or salon "

"i am over the moon with these as i have two grandson with autism hair cutting manger stress for them the younger like diffent colours and they are lot quitter than eny ive had in past i would buy these again in if eny thing goes wrong i got now and also great price too"

"despite the photographs these clippers are mains powered not battery this is not made overly clear on amazons website"

"always had wireless beard trimmers they clogged up with the size of my beard most of the time but i could cope oh how i was wrong these clippers are 100x better i don't know how i've managed to not have one and i'm so happy i bought these looking crisp and clean with a nicely trimmed beard the not length guard is pretty good at removing the hair you don't want too but i would recommed a razer blade for that super crisp look"

"we talked about these in advance as being 'his' special ones but i wasn't expecting much"

"however a bit too heavy in my opinion"

"i’ve always cut my hair at home and since i started cutting too short i felt a pair of these was definitely needed glad i have them it’s so easy to clean up my hair and keep the style looking nice"

"low vibration and noise"

"only negative thing would be that it gets very very hot so have to take breaks between using it"

"the accessories are a bit basic quality but guess they will serve some purpose to someone just not me"

"over heats gets really hot both on the plug and the actuall shaver all over"

"i have been in denial about my receding hairline for some years now entering a cycle of shaving it off when i get sick of my thinning top then convincing myself it might grow back thicker before shaving it off all over again"

"my only qualm is that the scissors that come with the set were completely blunt and bent my hair without cutting even a single strand"

"nothing too fancy just clippers that would give me a nice number 3 cut"

"it needs to be connected to a power supply which might not appeal everyone"

"i have been in denial about my receding hairline for some years now entering a cycle of shaving it off when i get sick of my thinning top then convincing myself it might grow back thicker before shaving it off all over again"

"watched a few u tube vids and got a few tips but didn't really need it"

"the only con is the wire is abit too short"

"not what i expected no oil no bag noisey clippers looks as it is cheap stay clear"

"its as if the motor isnt fast enough meaning the blades are fast enough to cut hair before it gets snagged in the combs"

"you get what you pay for these are not the best and it does take a bit longer to cut your hair but for the price can't really complain "

"low noise and not heavy"

"i'm not going to give it a bad review for it not having a carrying bag either"

"i had really bad experience as 1 they don't cut your hair as you say 2 two different barbers increased their price by £1 every few months"

"it loses a star from me because it has no oil with it"

"they're quiet cut quickly don't clog up and don't pull hairs"

"i really only bought these for the number 1 clip as i dropped mine and broke it it will be a good back up clipper for when mine gives up the ghost as they tend to pack up when you least expect it !"

"space was wasted on fancy coloured comb attachments which i felt was unnecessary additions"

"these were brought for neuro diverse people in my family who hate getting hair cuts and don't like the noise"

"i found the colour coding combs easy but how does a person who is colour blind or blind know which kind of comb they need?"

"they are so easy to use my arms only started to tire towards the end and i suffer with severe pain in both my upper arms and regular shoulder subluxations and dislocations"

"i like the coloured combs meaning that there is no need to try and read the various sizes which on the defacto black combs is a little strain for my poor eyes"

"so it saved me some stress and money already"

""old school" heavy hair clipper"

"i would not recommend"

"i bought to cut my hair short and the size things are very good"

"they just won’t cut you get what pay for though i suppose you buy cheap you get poor performance"

"doesn't have a turbo button but doesn't suffer because of that"

"i understand brexit and everything but what is this argentina?"
