Philips Hair Clippers for Men, Series 5000 Professional Hair Clipper and Beard Trimmer with Length Adjustable Blades, Grades 0-4, Corded, UK 3-Pin Plug - HC5100/13 Black/Silver

This was a great find for the price. Top brand aswell. I use them for my body hair mostly and they are great. Lots of guards for different lengths. They done with a comb abs scissors aswell as the many guards. Easy to use and would be great for someone cutting hair at home.

Excellent product. Very quiet. Arrived on time.

Lot of reviews for this and some do seem to be for a slightly different product. This is a corded trimmer, references to recharge times,etc, don’t relate to this specific product.Anyway, relatively inexpensive and much of the competition seems to come with multiple accessories which I felt I wouldn’t use and would eventually lose. With this there are just four plastic level attachments, a tiny brush and some oil. You can use it without one of the guides and there is some further fine adjustment used like that. It would be very short indeed, although these are clippers and not a shaver so you couldn’t get completely hairless with it.Unsurprisingly this has been a Coronavirus lockdown purchase and I had a fun time sat in the garden cutting my hair off like the start of many a serial killer movie. Had to be careful where my hair was relatively long not to pull it a bit with the clippers ( although it wouldn’t have pulled it out of my head, just slightly snagged) but otherwise fairly straightforward. These aren’t professional level clippers ( and I’m not a barber either) so I needed to go over my head quite a few times. But eventually a very even cut and I borrowed a family member to square it off at the back.I used it on my beard as well, so that’s now the same length as my head and a I look like a grey coconut. Compared to my beard trimmer it seems a gentler cut but that’s fine because it means I don’t think I could do anything accidentally bad with it.My only complaint is that the handle gets hot, noticeable rather than uncomfortable and that seems a worry in terms of longevity. But if I only ever use it two or three times it will have paid for itself.Edit: the picture has changed since I bought mine, the exact 3000 model obviously changes a bit over time. Perhaps that explains why the reviews on here vary a bit.Second edit: today the picture is the same as the one I have,woohoo! Using it this morning the handle still gets very hot. The placement of the lever that adjusts the blade and clicks the guards in place is very easy to knock, especially when doing your own head when you have to grip at multiple angles, be careful if trimming a moustache as it made my lip sore ( don’t get that with a beard trimmer) and still going strong after over a year and multiple family haircuts.

I have used this clippers over two years now and not bothered about sharpening the blades. its good on price. Its a plug and play therefore does not have any battery issue.

I'm using this product during lock down & beyond. Have now cut my hair twice: Once on 24-1-21 and again on 7-4-21. Very quiet in operation and no batteries to let you down. It's a bit awkward to do your hair at the back on your own but any other product would be the same. Excellent value (£20 as at late January 2021). A bit heavy. Do not drop - this would not do them good. Treat them as if they cost you £100 and they should last you very well. I will certainly continue with them after lock down. Will save me a fortune - I'm in profit already. IMPORTANT - Do remember to clean out AND OIL the blades after EVERY use - that is only fair. You can unscrew the blades to assist cleaning but the two screws are not posidrive - they are something else. My only regret is: I wish I had bought these 40 years ago! It's great that you can have a haircut whenever you like without making a big thing of it.

Great clippers for cutting hair both basic and more complex styles. The combs come in a range of different lengths and can be attached very easily. It is also corded which is very helpful as you do not have to wait for it to charge before it can be used. The extra accessories are a bonus considering the cheap price. Overall, a very good and well working product for the price.

This is a mains corded hair clipper, if you want endless years of guaranteed power side step the gutless battery pretenders and go for the real deal. After weeks of Lockdown and no Barber Services, finally committed to this clipper set and have not looked back. A good range of clipper guides, even comb and scissors to finish nice and tidy - but the star of the show - the clippers themselves - sturdy, weighty and just keep going through thick and thin. While I'm sure there's skill to be had clippering here and there - I've gone for an all over - with clipper guide No 3. Gone are the days of waiting in a queue, of being fussed over and talked over, instead I now have my hair done at home, with a coffee just as I like it, with kit to rely on and a job done on time, and then moving on...
