Philips QC 5170

Great product, BUT read the whole review before buying!!!

I have been cutting my own hair for several years now and have always used corded heavy standard clippers. but then thought i would try these

Design - These are fantastically designed clippers, they are light, they look great, and they feel awesome in your hands. They have a perfect curve and grip on them so at whatever angle you are holding them you sure not to drop them. Some people who review these say they are too light and if you threw them across the floor they will break!! They are light but they are not designed to be indestructible, they are light enough to be manageable but heavy enough to know they are their.

Function - These clippers also have great funtionality on them, one charge will give these things a full 60 minute charge, and they do not lose power as the charge goes down they stay good for the full 60 minutes. The pivoting head is also not just a gimmick, this is a genius invention and makes cutting hair easier than ever before, it is perfect and easy to use. Changing the size is also brilliant, no more fiddeling with 10 different pieces, just 2, pick which one, you will only need one on pretty much permanently then change the size via the ingenious dial on the device, and it locks so you cannot change the size while cutting. However, the device says it has loads of different settings, unless you have and like short hair do not buy. this item says it has about 12 settings but they are not equal to normal clippers, the longest setting on this is probably equal to a barbers 4/5. And it cannot be left on charge so be careful

Pros - Great design, easy to use, ingenious pivoting head for ease of use, 60 minute cordless charge, light and great to hold, fast size change

Cons - THe numbering is wrong, the longest length is only equal to a barbers 4 or 5. It comes without o box or case so nowhere to store it and the bits. And you can break it by over charging the device

Summary - A great stylish little item if you like short hair, so easy to use and great price for what the item is but make sure you have somewhere to store it with all the bits and be careful not to over charge
