Philips do-it-yourself hair clipper QC5530/25 Stainless steel blades 20 length settings 60 mins' cordless use/1 hr charge Precision buzz comb is rated 3.4 out of 5 by 43.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Extremely flimsy comb design I have owned two Philips clippers that have served me brilliantly down through the years so I had High expectations for this QC5530 model. Unfortunately I was let down badly, the precision comb broke after ONE use rendering the clipper unuseable for what I wanted. The design, charge time, cutting performance all seem fine but all these positive aspects count for nothing if you don't have a functional comb hence the low rating. I'm sticking with Philips but opted for another model.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Better than newer model Bought this as it could cut hair to a maximum length of 30mm compared to 15mm for the later model which I already had. It was more expensive and difficult to find. I cannot understand why Philips have reduced the versatility when bringing out the new version.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great clippers bought these clippers based on reviews i had seen elsewhere and i have not been dissapointed nice quick clean cut easy to clean ready to use after been stored for a few week and best of all no trailing cable getting wrapped round your neck and ears a storage case would have been nice as there is only so much handling the cardboard box it came in will stand up to

Rated 4 out of 5 by from poor design on combs I purchased this for my husband but the small comb has now broken rendering this of little use.I wish I had read the reviews,my husband really rates these clippers but I cannot locate a replacement comb.I am reluctant now to try in case the same thing happens.Perhaps it is time to try a new make! Another set of clippers will be coming his way from santa

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ergonomic design This item is an addition to the range of great Philips' products in the family,including a previous purchase of this item some 4 years ago. (still working) The added advantage of this recent model is the introduction of L.ion battery which is a great advantage together with the detachable mains charging lead.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from User friendly Bought this clipper online from Argos. I had a Remington Hair Clipper which was very poor so decided to try the Philips QC5530 Li-Ion DIY Cordless Hair Clipper. It's really easy to use & is light and flexible. I use the 3mm cutting length so am not sure if it's good with longer hair. Brilliant design.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Near perfect clippers, but be careful with the weak comb! The clippers themselves are great, compact, well made, great battery life, easy to clean, don't need any oil. Trouble is after 6 months a tooth on the small comb broke and don't know where to get a replacement; is this covered on the guarentee Philips???

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good while it lasted, replaced under warranty Very easy to cut my own hair with thus device. Only problem was that it stopped working less than a year after purchase and had to be replaced under warranty. The replacement is a newer model so will see if this one lasts longer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor comb design, uneven cut These clippers work great when using them on a short setting but find when using them on a longer setting the comb which is not a firm plastic tends to bend leaving an uneven finish. Comb needs to be made from a firmer plastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use great for ultimate shave When one goes thin on top, there is no better product then this for the ultimate shave. I'm shaving the head at 2mm and could go lower if wanted. What's great is charging is just 1hr.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product does the job it is designed for excellently Really liked the design and found it extremely easy to use. Appreciated the fresh design approach to what is normally a mundane product.
