Quick Cut Hair Clippers (Cordless, 40-Minute Usage, Quick Charge, Curve Cut Blade Technology, Cleaner more Even Cut, Grading, Tapering & Trimming, 9 Guide Combs 1.5-15mm, Waterproof) HC4250

My last clippers became useless after the oh-so-clever single adjustable comb broke after a year… two tiny little plastic tabs were meant to keep the whole spring-loaded contraption in place, so as soon as they fatigued -- and it's difficult to see how they _wouldn't_ -- the whole thing was a write-off. So, this time I went in search of a unit that had straightforward removable combs. That way, if one broke, I could just use a slightly shorter or longer one. I needed one that was cheap, waterproof-ish, and cordless. Until I bought the nice Philips rotary (face) shaver that's incredibly lasted ten years without battery drain or any other wear or damage, my previous best shaver was one of those old style stubby Remingtons, that similarly lasted more than a decade. So, now I've called a surrender against the rapidly retreating hairline and optimistically decided to stop visiting the barber for a short back-and-sides, my first port of call was Philips... who made that one that broke -- a QC5570, with that twistable head, if that's of interest. So, my second port of call was Remington. This one does exactly what it promises. It's small and neat, fitting comfortably in the hand like a pebble, and the large comb really does make the process of stripping your head quicker and less fiddly. The curve manages to be just right, and while it has no frills, the corners of the comb do work for getting the little bits above the ear, for example. I'm not sure how well this would work for someone shaving their head more delicately and using this as part of a more coiffured tonsorial regime, but as someone who just wants to cut anything longer than 1mm, it really does just do the job. It comes with a selection of clip-on combs, each of which is a simple affair that's more sturdy than the pathetic thing that came with the twisty-turny razor. It's easy to clean and maintain, and it's easy to charge. As with other Remingtons, it was a little overpackaged, but that's a minor point. One last incidental note... if you do shave your head, and even for wet or electric shaving your face, do consider buying an Alum block. As a sufferer of rather bad razor burn, an Alum block like the "Osma Bloc" (search for it) has proven a revelation I wish someone had told me about decades ago. It tightens up the pores apparently, but I can testify that it leaves both my scalp and my chin bump and rash free.

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.

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.

One day it hit me that, since I am losing hair on the crown at 37, and each time I go to the barber's I try to decide whether it's 1mm or 0.5mm (because I still try not to look fully bald, or at least to convince myself that I am not going in that direction), I realised that maybe it is time to start shaving/trimming myself. Frankly speaking, I've never trimmed or shaved my head before. Anyway, straight to the point - this clipper is great on all accounts: - I use it without any comb, and it trims my hair exactly as I want it, closer to the desired ~0.5mm - It is very convenient to use: you can wash the blade with water without fear of breaking it, it's small and handy, and it's cordless. Battery life is enough to trim the head and shave the face as well. I'm truly satisfied with it and with finding it.

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.

Just received this today and used it for the first time and am very impressed. I had a normal Wahl corded shaver for years and it just wasn't working well any more so I thought I'd give this a try after reading other reviews. I shaved my head first and it managed this easily, I love the wide curved blade as it made things quick and even. I then shaved my beard and this also was easy and quick. Highly recommended.

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.

The battery is inadequate. It might last a few shaves if you use daily, but it struggles to complete a second shave if you only use it every week or two. And then it failed to recharge completely after less than a year. Even when it was working, it stuttered at the start and pulled at my hair until it got "warmed up." The design might seem novel, but in fact it works and feels no better than a traditional handled shaver.

Doskonała maszynka.

اشترتها ايام كورونا و مازلت أستخدمها اسهل ووقت اقل بتقصير الشعر عيب الوحيد القطع بلاستيك لتحديد الطول ينكسر بسهولة

No puedo estar más contento. Harto estaba de las recortadoras de pelo de todo el cuerpo que te las pasabas por la cabeza y te dejaban trasquilones. Tenías que pasar muchas veces la máquina para que cortara y aún así, algún pelo largo te dejaba. Esta máquina es ina fantasía. Por donde pasa no falla, y con su forma y anchura, te rapas la cabeza en nada. Yo la uso también para el cuerpo. EXCELENTE PRODUCTO!

Après plusieurs années d’utilisation toujours très satisfait. Pratique et durable
