Ultimate Precision
Creating neat haircuts is so much easier with the right tool at hand. This state-of-the-art hair clipper by Philips has a bunch of innovative features that may bring your hair cutting experience to a whole new level, giving you maximum freedom in trimming and styling your hair.
First of all, the unit comes with minimum attachments (3 motorised combs), meaning you will spend less time adjusting the unit and looking for the right accessory, which can sometimes be quite frustrating. Meanwhile, these combs (1 - 7 mm, 7 - 24 mm, 24 - 42 mm) will allow you to trim your hair from 1 mm to 42 mm with up to 0.1 mm precision. Alternatively, you can use the machine with no attachments at all for a close 0.5 mm trim.
Next, the machine is equipped with an innovative digital interface and to adjust the cutting length, you just need to swipe upwards or downwards. You can use the touchscreen to select one of the 400 length settings, slowly going through each step to create a smooth transition, or quickly browsing through lengths to go from one section to another.
Also, the trimmer has a smart memory function. It not only remembers the last cutting setting but also can save up to 3 preferred lengths for each comb; you can save the setting for the next use by holding the memory button on the unit's front panel.
Excellent Results Each Time
Packed with high-tech features, the Philips hair trimmer is made from the highest quality materials. The machine has a lasting metal guard and self-sharpening Titanium blades. Thanks to the DualCut technology that helps minimise friction while utilising a double-sharpened cutting element and an Auto Turbo function that automatically increases the motor speed when you cut through thicker hair, you will get excellent trimming results each time.
Powered by a lithium-ion battery, the hair clipper can operate for up to 120 minutes, and it takes just one hour to fully charge it. For a user's convenience, the item can be used both cordless and corded.
All in all, the Philips HC9450/13 Series 9000 is a powerful and efficient device for cutting your hair at home. Featuring a straightforward operation and ergonomic design, it will help you make nice haircuts while spending minimum time and effort.

Easy to Use, Easy to Maintain
Ease of use and ease of maintenance are essential things that users look for when choosing a trimmer. The Hatteker RFC-690 01 boasts both of these features, which makes it one of the choicest options out there. It has an ergonomic handle that features an intuitive cutting length adjustment and it comes with capacious Lithium batteries to ensure long and powerful performance. An ergonomic cleaning brush is included in the box. Moreover, the manufacturer claims that this model is completely washable, so there will be no harm if you wash the blade under tap water after use - easy cleaning is a great advantage that will save your time on the morning routine.
The appliance comes with a handy charger base, two rechargeable batteries, BS adapter with a USB port, and a USB connector. Thanks to the two batteries included, the cordless clipper can operate for a prolonged period of time, which will come in useful when you are travelling. An ergonomic LED indicator light will show you the battery charging status; 90-120 minutes charging will provide up to 120 minutes of cordless operation.
Great for Any Age
Other important qualities of any self-care device are safety and versatility. This unit features a ceramic cutting blade that allows for a smooth shave without any irritation. Gentle trimming is especially important when styling kids hair, so if you have children, this skin-friendly hair trimmer is a great option. The blade itself can be adjusted for five cutting lengths (from 0.5mm to 2.5mm) - just choose the desired setting on the handle. Plus, there are six guide combs included in the box, so you can set the unit's fine adjustment button for a 4-6 mm, 7-9 mm, 10-12 mm, 16-18 mm, 22-24 mm, or 28-30 mm trimming length. This functional appliance can be used for both hair and beard trimming, which is a great advantage as well.
To cut a long story short, the Hatteker hair trimmer is a reliable and user-friendly appliance that, along with all the accessories included, will help you experiment with your style and always look well-groomed.

Groom Your Hair At Home
This all-in-one trimmer by Philips is just what you need to care for your hair and beard at home. Equipped with a whole set of attachments, it will allow you to effortlessly cut your hair, trim your beard and moustache, and even remove hair from your ears and nose. In addition to that, the item has a worldwide voltage and comes with a handy travel/storage pouch that makes it a great choice for travellers as well.
Sharp blades are essential for a trimmer's performance, and this unit boasts a high-quality self-sharpening mechanism. In other words, its blades will perform great not only when the item is new; they will preserve keenness and provide excellent trim time after time, for years to come.
Durable comb attachments are also important for comfortable hair trimming. That's why the set includes a couple of stubble combs (1 mm and 2 mm), two beard combs (3 mm and 5 mm), and three hair combs (9 mm, 12 mm, and 16 mm). On the other hand, using the item with no attachments at all will help you create clean and sharp lines around your hairline and beard. Finally, the included ear and nose trimmer attachment will help you easily remove any unwanted hair from these areas.
Neat and Tidy Every Time
Using this trimmer could not be easier. Just attach the desired comb as described in the user manual and slide the on/off button up. Even if you use the unit with no attachments, the skin-friendly blades will not hurt your skin. Plus, the unit's handle has an ergonomic rubber grip that will make trimming as comfortable as possible.
Cleaning the appliance is simple as well. You simply need to wipe the handle with a dry cloth, remove the attachment and the cutting element and then use the supplied cleaning brush to clean the hair chamber, cutting element, and combs. Though you can rinse the attachments under a tap, please note that the handle is not washable. It is also important to let the combs air dry completely before storage or the next use.
The only downside of this model is that it takes quite a while to recharge. Sixteen hours of charging will give you 60 minutes of battery life. However, that may be quite enough for trimming your hair and beard at home.
In a word, this all-in-one trimmer by Philips will help you cut your hair, maintain a stubble or a beard, and remove unwanted nose and ear hair to look neat and tidy at all times.

Trim-n-Flow for Flawless Cutting
If you are looking for a super-efficient tool for cutting your hair at home, try this state-of-the-art model by Philips.

Offering precise length control, this professional hair clipper will help you experiment with various haircuts with ease.
User-Friendly Design

Moreover, the hair clipper is fully washable, so all you need to do to keep it clean is rinse it thoroughly under the tap after each use.
One more welcome feature of the tool is that it can be used both corded and cordless. It takes one hour for the battery to fully charge and get ready for 90 minutes of cordless operation.

It will allow you to quickly and easily cut your hair in the comfort of your own home. Despite being larger than some of its rivals, the unit is pretty lightweight and comfortable to use.

What Is a Hair Clipper?
A hair clipper is a grooming electric device designed to cut hair close to the head. Initially designed for professional use in barbers' shops, today hair clippers can be found in almost every household. And though not all people may describe themselves as pro barbers and boast of that level of proficiency when cutting their own hair, for most it's still much more convenient than to go to a barber's shop. Besides, trimming hair isn't as difficult as it might seem and with some practice, you're likely to hone this craft. Another advantage of owning a hair clipper and cutting your own hair is the fact that you can do it anytime and anywhere. This way, if an urgent situation arises, you won't need to match up a barber's schedule with yours and will be able to handle the maintenance yourself. Finally, it's just a great skill which will allow you to be in total control of your time and desires and be less dependent on other people.
Another appliance that will add to the collection of your grooming tools is a high-quality electric razor. If you don't have one yet, we recommend you to check out this comparison. Also, you may be interested in our head shavers review.
What Features to Compare
Before choosing a hair clipper and trimmer, consider how often you're going to use it. If you plan to use it on a regular basis (for example, if you work as a barber in a salon), it is important to opt for a pro-grade and multifunctional device. Not only will it cut through any hair type with ease but also it will do that very quickly saving you plenty of time and effort. In case you're just getting the hand in hair trimming and need an inexpensive device to use at home, buying a hair trimmer will be enough. Though not as powerful as hair cutting sets, they offer decent functionality and will suffice for most trimming needs.
Motor Type
Moving on to the motor, you can choose from three types - rotary, pivot and magnetic. Generally, clippers equipped with a rotary or pivot motor are recognized as the most powerful and thus most suitable for professional use. They can easily tackle hair of any length, thickness and coarseness. Another benefit of these types of clippers is that they come with adjustable blades allowing for hassle-free disinfection, replacement and clean-up after use. So, if you look for a reliable and durable haircut machine for regular use, you can choose the one with a rotary motor.
When it comes to models with a magnetic motor, these are perfect for home use. They aren't expensive and can work for up to 20-30 minutes from one charge, which will be enough for a hair cut session (or even two). Admittedly, they tend to produce a bit of noise but for the price, this isn't a deal-breaker.
Accessories
Most of the hair cutting sets available come with a number of additional accessories allowing for haircut "customisation". On changing these attachment guides, you will be able to change and vary how much hair you'd like to cut. Make sure to take a look at the kit and check what lengths come included. This is especially important for those who work with different hair lengths.
Power Source
With regard to the power source, there are models that work off the mains, those that use batteries and rechargeable ones. Naturally, the most powerful are those that work off the mains. They not only can cut hair more quickly but also they do not tend to heat and can be used for a prolonged time without a break. The only shortcoming is that you need to have a power socket nearby. Also, it's worth checking out the cord since if it's too short, you will be limited in movement. Hair clippers with built-in batteries will be a valuable option for those who seek portability. They provide flexibility of use and will be great for hair, beard contouring and trimming. Plus, they offer decent run time, allowing you to use them for around 30-60 minutes on one charge. When it comes to rechargeable models, these combine the advantages of the two and will suit both professional and home use.
Additional Features
Finally, you should make sure the clipper you choose is convenient to use. Consider its size, weight and overall design. It should have an ergonomic build to fit in your hand comfortably and cause no discomfort/fatigue during use. Many models have rubberized handles to ensure a firm grip on the tool. You can also find models with 'vacuum cleaner' function: they will gulp all cut hair ridding you of the need to clean floors after each haircut. And, of course, do not forget about maintenance part. Some hair clippers have a waterproof design and can be rinsed with water, whereas others will require cleaning with a special brush and regular oiling.
Useful Tips for The First Hair Trimming Procedure
It is not a secret that cutting your own hair at home can save you lots of money. Whether you've made up your mind to change your style completely or just want to touch-up your haircut so as to give it a neat look until your next trip to the barbers, a hair clipper can make the trimming and styling process so much easier and become your ultimate assistant. However, unless you want the shortest haircut, it is not only a clipper that you will need. No wonder, most appliances of the kind come with multiple attachments and other accessories.
Tools you will need
Assorted guide combs will help you choose the desired haircut length, usually up to 25-30 mm (if you want a longer haircut, you will need a pair of scissors which are sometimes also included). There are sets that include left and right ear tapers allowing you to have the hair around your ears cut neatly and easily. Finally, some appliances come with beard trimming attachments for more comprehensive self-care. A versatile hair clipper with multiple useful accessories is a must-have thing to experiment with your style.
How to cut your own hair
So, you have got all the required tools and are ready for the first trimming procedure. Following these simple tips, you will be able to cut your own hair quickly, neatly, and easily.
- First of all, make sure all the tools you might need are close at hand.
- Then, wash your hair using the shampoo suitable for your hair type.
- If you have straight hair, the best option is to cut it wet; if you have curly hair, just dampen it so that its curling pattern is not concealed.
- In case you are going to use a haircut machine, do not forget to read the manual before you trim.
- Cut your hair in the opposite direction of its growth.
- Use the longest haircut setting if your hair is long. When you are done, just change the attachment to the one that provides shorter trimming, if needed.
- Back, side and top styling is to be done in the end. For example, you can do one side, then go to the other, and finish with the back. In most cases, it is recommended to use the shortest comb guides when trimming sideburns or around the ears.
- When doing the back of your head, a secondary mirror will come in handy. It is the hardest part for many, so if you can, ask someone to help you. If you can't, put your free hand on your head back and try to use it as a guide, dragging the hair clipper alongside it.
- For trimming the head top, longer haircut settings are usually used.
- To make the transition between lengths, use in-between numbers of comb guides.
- Work slowly when it comes to fine detailing to make both sides look symmetrical.
- When the job is done, take a careful look at your new hairstyle and trim any uneven hair if necessary.
With a high-quality haircut machine, trimming your hair is pretty simple, however, like anything in this world, it requires practice. Even if trimming took longer than you expected for the first time, every next session will be faster and easier. In any case, using a hair trimmer, you will be able to save tons of money on visiting the barbershop. And, probably, one day, you may even get inspired for creating new exclusive hairstyles.
