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

I've been using a 5000 series for a couple of years, over all the 5000 is a great trimmer but I found myself accidentally changing lengths as I change grip during cuts which wasn't ideal. Anyway, decided to re-do my bathroom, out with the old in with new... and I splashed out on the 9000 series. Mechanically, seems much the same as the 5000 which was slightly disappointing at first, not sure what I was expecting at the 5000 cut perfectly well - but once charged, soon I came to really enjoy the digital interface on the 9000, just knowing the battery level was nice compared to times past where the the light just starts flashing red mid-cut. The Memory setting is pretty crucial, I found myself able to tap the memory setting and do the sides / top & even went over my beard just fine. Note: To set memory (when turned off) select the desired length, hold the M until the 1 flashes on the right hand side, then release & hold M again for about 5 seconds and the screen with say "SET" when stored... just tap the M to switch to 1>2>3, and hold the button again to store it. And discovering the cutter Locks the length when you power it on was great, no longer will I accidentally shift up/down lengths by mistake. "Auto-Turbo" concerned me slightly, as generally I've found with all my philips cutters I turn it on and hit the turbo button - that's just how it is! but the automatic really doesn't need much/any noticeable resistance before the Turbo function kicks in and it leaves it running for a few seconds, much to my surprise it was pretty seamless. Overall - The cut is great, ergonomically it worked just fine never felt uncomfortable, love that it locks the length, memory settings are great for bouncing between lengths & no longer will I think to myself do I usually do this a 8 or a 10.. it's simply what I stored. So, I'm glad I went 9000 series and short of a huge price jump - it's just what I'll buy in future.

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!

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.

Top brand, well designed mens hair trimmer, easily charged and lasts at least an hour in constant use. Bought one at the start of the Covid Lockdown and as it has multi click in size variation comb guides, you simply click in the preferred length comb, set the digital length making sure to lock the length by holding the memory button (tip keep checking the memory is displaying the correct size as it is possible to accidently alter it) for which there are three. Make sure to keep the base of the clicked in comb to the scalp then simply glide it from back to front or reverse. Do a final redo all over and it should be neat. Then if shorter needed on sides then start at bottom and left up where you want it to blend in (take the length guide off to shave as such of course) Simple really. To sum up, found this so useful that have just bought this one as a 'spare' so no need to worry about being discontinued and found out spare diamond technology cutter replacements are quite expensive. Can only highly recommend it even around the £80 mark and if you see it cheaper still then grab it whilst you can, like I did for my spare one.

I very rarely leave a bad review but this product is beyond belief. Where all the 4 and 5 star reviews came from, I can only imagine (insert roll-eyes emoji here). I bought it to cut my hair at 1 - 3 mm. Please note that this product is unusable if you have ears. The guide comb is so large you cannot get close to ears. No doubt, if I had a moustache and beard, I'd have the same problem with my nose. As others have said (and I didn't take heed) read the bad reviews. They are absolutely spot on. I can't believe that any Philips designer has ever tried to cut hair using this product. Also, others praise the "ergonomic design". It is difficult to hold - it isn't "ergonomic" in the slightest. It is clunky and difficult to obtain the correct cutting angle. Others have said the battery goes flat after one or two uses. They're correct. Then it takes ages to charge. As mentioned above, don't buy this if a) you have ears and/or b) you want your hair evenly cut at 1 - 10mm. How I wish I'd sent this back after the first try.

very accurate set of clippers . nice product

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.

Best hair clipper out there for longer haircuts. All the other brands assume that you want to be bald and the combs stop at about 1 inch. Some do supply slightly longer combs (Wahl, for example) but they are made of cheap bendy plastic that can give your hair a very uneven look since the comb moves/bends whilst you cut. The Philips clipper has a very sold plastic guard that does not move at all - no need to worry about it going squiffy. You can get very long settings on here and so are not restricted to looking like you just joined the military as you are with other clippers. I'm super pleased with this clipper having previously used Wahl. The ONLY problem is the RIDICULOUS system for changing the cutting length - slide your finger on the touchpad and it zooms from 20mm to 40, tap it and it goes up one... or down one.. then up 5... or down 10... or zoom straight back to 10mm. Really there is little rhyme or reason to this gizmo and it can take a while to get the setting you want! They only needed 2 buttons - up + down. They have sacrificed functionality for looking cool. Other than that, the best clipper on the market!

Gutes Gerät,nach kurzer Lernphase!Leider war kein Deutschnormstecker beim Ladekabel dabei.Gottseidank habe ich mehere PHilipsgeräte mit demselbem Ladekabel!

Good quality

My last Philips hair trimmer lasted for over 10 years so it made sense to buy another one. The only thing I didn't notice was that the electrical plug was for the UK, not Australia.

The best hands down! Very powerful Many choices that fits most of men Smart turbo mode that kicks in when needed Can actually run for 2 hours with one charge And extremely precise

Great Maschine!!!
