QuickCut Hair Clippers, 40-Minute Use, 9 Combs, HC4250

I have been cutting my own hair for several years and before that my wife used to cut it. I have always used a professional hair clippers and have had both cordless and corded. The clippers that this Remington Quickcut was bought to replace are corded and cost a lot more money. There is nothing wrong with them, but I have found it very difficult to cut my own hair with them and I decided to try and find something a little easier. After a fair bit of research I decided to give these a try.I have just used them for the first time and they are way better than the traditional clippers that they are replacing. Please watch the video for an in-depth look at them and to see how I got on with them whilst cutting my own hair. They are so much easier to use than my other ones. This is partly due to the fact that the blades are curved and fit the contours of my head better. Also they fit into the hand in a way that makes keeping the blade flat against the scalp much easier than the long handle on traditional clippers. This is further enhanced by the absence of a chord. They are much easier to use if you cut your own hair. This also applies if you usually get someone to do it for you too. I found them much quicker too as they were easier to keep flat on my scalp.Inside the box: The clippers, a soft carrying case, Instructions, charger, cleaning brush, oil for the blade and nine different sized combs (see the product description for their sizes). In the video I use the clippers without a comb and they cut my hair very short (1mm according to the instructions).The clippers have a battery that should last around 40 minutes. I reckon it took me around 5 minutes to cut my hair and beard so plenty of cuts on one charge. It recharges from flat in 4 hours. A brilliant feature is the ability to use them from the mains socket, with the power adapter plugged in, if the battery is flat. The mains adapter has a cable of around 6 feet length so it would be possible to cut your hair easily this way. It does state that constantly using the clippers via the mains will shorten the life of the battery. Personally, I love the fact that the clippers are cordless and would only use this feature if I ran out of charge. The unit also has a quick charge feature that may allow you to finish a cut if the battery runs out. 10 minutes charge time will give an “emergency burst of runtime”.The clippers are easy to clean. They are water resistant and are designed to be switched on and rinsed under a tap. The blades can easily be removed to give the clippers a more thorough clean with the brush provided. They did not need this after I cut my hair, but I showed it in the video. Three drops of oil on the running blade and then the clippers can be put away ready for the next cut.There is another clipper called the Shortcut that is quite a bit more expensive than the Quickcut. If you are wondering what the difference is; the Shortcut is completely waterproof and can be used whilst showering to keep the mess down. I like to cut my hair in the shower, but when it is dry, before I actually turn it on. Also, I like to check that I have not missed anything in the mirror before I shower, so for me the Quickcut is fine.I love using these clippers. They are much easier and quicker than my old ones. There is no chord to deal with so you can cut your hair anywhere. They are quiet, fit nicely in the hand and are ergonomic to use. At no time did they feel like they were unsafe or had the potential to cut me around the ears or nose. I was very comfortable using them. I cannot vouch for how long they will last, but after reading other reviews and owning other Remington equipment, I think that they will be a good purchase. I loved using them and I reckon you will too if you are fed up of struggling to cut your hair with conventional corded hair clippers.

There's was bit of a learning curve coming to this curved blade from a regular straight made Whal clipper to this. I found without a guard if doesn't cut as close as my old whal clipper did and without a using one of the guards catches a lot. That's the cons out of the way. Now onto the pros. The shape looks odd to anyone used to using a regular clipper, however it fits the hand far better making it easy to manouver. The blade is wider than a regular clipper and and the curve makes each pass far more uniform than a straight blade does, this really does speed up your buzz cut.As well as the regular grade combs there are some shorter ones which I prefer, going for something shorter than grade 1.As I said there's a little learning curve but after a couple of uses i came to prefer the Quick Cut over my regular clippers and with the right guard gives an excellent buzzcut in less time.I'm writing this in December 2021, since buying my Quick Cut in January 2018 I've used it every a week to buzzcut my head and do a little manscaping. The unit is still working perfectly. The only maintenance it gets is a few drops of clipper oil every few weeks and a quick brush every use. The unit can be rinsed and is designed to be but I stopped doing that after noticing a damp smell - took the blade off and aired it a few days and didn't rinse it again, it's never recurred.The downside is after about 4 years use the 2.5mm guide has started to break and Remington's USA website which had them available doesn't ship outside the USA. It took a few weeks to get a response from staff at Remington's European site but eventually they responded asking for contact details and said they would ring me. A couple of weeks later they did. Going by the accent I'm guessing the American staff cover the UK site too really. Anyway I was able to get a complete set of replacement combs sent to me for about £12 including postage.It took a long time faffing with contacting the company, email and phone contacts to get the replacement set and its a pain having to buy the whole lot when I only needed and actually ever use a single comb. Remington really need to sort out their support for customers outside the USA.That said its such a good clipper I've used this one for 4 years, the blades seem fine and the battery still charges.

Like any man worth his salt, I chucked the instructions in the bin along with the rest of the packaging. I've been cutting my own hair for years, I don't need Remmington to tell me what to do. Who needs instructions anyway etc etc...So it turns out these trimmers need a rinse through between uses, the water acts kind of like a lubricant between the blades. There's even a little embossed tap on the top of the clippers suggesting this.When you get over this little oversight, these things work really well, I've been using Philips clippers with the swivel head for years until the battery finally gave out, these clippers are a great alternative.The wide blade reduces cutting time by about half and the gentle curve means its easy to get full coverage.. erm.... uncoverage?!I mean you don't miss bits around the back.I cannot comment on the attachments as being largely a baldy, I just go grade zero all over. The clippers are a good size and shape to hold, require little in the way of charging and are really easy and satisfying to use. All in all, I would recommend.

This is a first for me, a review whilst charging up an electrical product for the first time..well, I've owned exactly the same model as this one for years and only recently has the battery started to not holding a charge for long but I can still get a couple of trims before needing to charge it again. Time for a replacement I figured so I already know what a great trimmer it is and when I unpacked it I couldn't tell the difference between the two at first glance other than a tiny bit of wear and tear, the difference between the two is that the new one comes with a neat storage bag compared to the old one's zipped case otherwise the guide combs are identical the old guide combs fit the new trimmer and vice versa and the cleaner brush likewise not a surprise as this model came out perfectly the first time round and as the Americans rightly say " if ain't broke don't fix it" this new one is even better for money than the old one, I paid £10 LESS than the old one ok yes it was on offer but still outstanding value for money even at the normal price and the same solid build quality, no cutting down on materials over time here. The power is all you could need and being cordless it's easier to use than anything else with a limiting cord, it has a nice but manageable weight to it and you can be as precise using it as you can wish for.

This thing is great. I have my head at 1.5mm pretty much all year round, with these clippers, I can literally do my entire head in about 20-30 seconds, its perfect and due to the curved blades it makes using it around the ears and neck an absolute breeze!As others have mentioned, the storage bag is a very thin, cheap-made thing, but other than that, its great!

I bought this two months before I actually used it. I bought it to replace my mains powered clipper. My Wife who cuts my hair found the mains unit was vibrating her hand painfully. Using this Remington was a dream to use. Gentle both on her hand and my head. Smooth and easy trimming. Using this was the first time she didn't have to trim bits of hair with scissors. Overall I am both very pleased with this product. It does what it says it will and is head friendly. I recommend this product for its ability and gentleness. As an aside you can also use the clipper whilst plugged in and charging.

love these cutters to shave my head batteries probably last 2 years I have I bought three of these in previous yearsIt would be nice if you could change the battery but you can't get access to do this. So hence why I have to purchase new cutter instead of just batteries

These shavers are brilliant for trimming and styling one’s beard however, I use it once a month but the batteries only last for 2 years so that is 24 trims.This is the second one that I have bought. I thought that maybe the first one conked out because I didn’t keep it on charge all the time. So, this one I kept on charge all the time but it still gave up the ghost after 24 usages.It’s a shame because it really does do a good job WHEN IT WORKS.

Al principio pensé que eso de la cuchilla en curva y no tener mango eran tonterías de marketing para diferenciar el producto de la competencia. Pero el caso es que me hacía falta reponer mi anterior cortapelos, y como tuve uno Remington que me salió buenísimo pensé en repetir, y este tenía buenos comentarios.No esperaba nada especial, simplemente el mismo rendimiento de un cortapelos normal de cuchilla recta, pero me equivoqué y mucho. La cuchiclla es bastante más ancha que en los cortapelos habituales, casi el doble, y la curva hace que sea más sencillo cortar más pelo en la cabeza de una sola pasada.El tipo de agarre es muy diferente, es cierto, y al principio se hace raro, pero tras unos pocos usos se le coge el truco y es mucho más cómodo para mi gusto que un mango tradicional.Lleva acabados en goma que hacen casi imposible que se deslice de la mano incluso usándolo bajo el agua. Corta muy bien bajo el agua, y limpiarlo es sencillísimo, se desmonta la cuchilla, se pasa todo por debajo del grifo y se deja secar, sin más.La batería dura mucho más en mi caso de lo que dice el fabricante, cerca de un 25% más. De todas formas no la agoto nunca, lo recargo cada par de usos o así para no castigarla.Viene con muchos peines de distintas longitudes, aunque yo no los uso así que no puedo decir nada de ellos.Hay que lubricar la cuchilla de vez en cuando, es el único "pero" que le puedo sacar. Otras marcas no necesitan esta lubricación, pero tampoco es algo muy molesto y sinceramente me compensa por el tiempo que ahorro gracias al diseño que tiene.Es muy silencioso, en comparación con otros que he tenido, y yo que me corto el pelo a lo mínimo que da este cortapelos, aproximadamente medio milímetro, ahorro muchísimo tiempo, tardo menos de la mitad en raparme la cabeza de lo que tardaba con mi anterior cortapelos, y lo agradezco muchísimo.Un excelente producto y además tiene un muy buen precio aquí en Amazon. Me costó bastante menos que mi anterior cortapelos, con el que estaba muy contento pero que se ha visto superado por este.

La batería le dura muy poco y para la barba no sirve porque se atasca y te jala, y es muy incomodo. Sin duda hay mejores opciones y más baratas en el mercado no pierdan su dinero
