Customer Reviews
Idiot proof
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.)
It's great!
I too was put off by the first review which was a bit negative. I decided to try it anyway, not expecting too much, and I was pleasantly surprised. It cuts my hair brilliantly, got a few good comments from people at work as well! Maybe it depends on your hair type - mine is very fine!
No worries
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.
