Philips Series 9000 Pro Precision Hair Clipper for Total Control and Precision with 400 Length Settings - HC9450/13

Bought this recently to replace my Babyliss clipper that was starting to snag a bit and wasn't holding its charge - barely managing to get through even one hair cut.My girlfriend took it to my head today and I'm really surprised by how smooth it was - it doesn't pull and no matter how thick the hair was it seemed to glide through it easily. She also said it's very light but much easier to handle than the Babyliss so a thumbs up from her :)The motorised combs are probably a bit of a gimmick and for me the chances are I won't really need to use many of the settings as I just tend to go for a short back and sides - but having the options there certainly do no harm, and the displays do make the device look pretty snazzy :)Having come from a traditional hair clipper with standard barber grade combs I found what the lengths were for each barber comb (I use 2 and 3) and then added the settings to the memory (the clipper comes with 3 combs and allows 3 settings to be stored for each comb, a great time saver).As I wasn't sure how the the traditional barber grades would translate into mm I used slightly longer settings initially and then gradually reduced the lengths until I got it just right - I then saved these to memory ready for the next time.On the whole this is a really good clipper but being able to set your length settings by .1 of a mm increments thus giving 400 settings is probably a bit overkill and the motorised comb are a but gimmicky but still, they do a great job and cut through even thick hair like a knife through butter. Really great value for money and also looks really nice, with a good weight and the maintenance free titanium blades should ensure they stay sharp for many years. An excellent product!

Excellent , might be a wee bit pricey but you get what you pay for.If You buy cheap, you pay twice.

I recently purchased the Philips hair trimmer and I have to say, I am extremely impressed with its performance. The trimmer is well-designed and easy to use, with a comfortable grip that makes it simple to maneuver around my head. The adjustable comb allows me to achieve the perfect length for my hair, and the precision blades ensure a clean and even cut every time.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.

Great product and service

Worst clippers I’ve ever had, setting the height is too sensitive and fiddly and after 8 months the battery will hold no charge, now searching for some more after only 8 months

This thing is great, so much better than the clunky wired one which it replaced. So convenient to just give the old barnet a trim. Decent battery life and easy to dial in to the required lengths.

I agree that it is a bit over teched and overpriced but I liked both the titanium blades, the max length of cut (42mm, many clippers stop around 23mm) and the speed of cut and recharge so was willing to put up with unnecessary 0.1mm length adjustments and touch screen etc.As people have, I now see, already commented it does not come with a charging stand or case but I complained to Amazon and they gave me a partial rebate and have promised to update/correct this page so don't forget to let Amazon know when there is a problem with a listing and you, Amazon and everyone else will benefit.UPDATE: Now had it for 3 years and certainly feel the previous Philips one we had was better. This one is not as easy to use and the cutter often blocks. More annoyingly that that the combs are flimsy and 1 quickly broke one 'leg' and now neither of the combs has legs. And cannot even use without the combs as the cutter, despite cleaning out, does not work and just stops; something to do with wear in the head I think. So not at all robust and I will not be recommending these or buying another one.
