Easy to Handle with 180-Degree Rotating Head
Thanks to the innovative 180-degree rotating head on the Do-it-Yourself Hair Clipper, you can trim your own hair with ease and precision. Instead of trying to move your hand or arm into an uncomfortable and difficult position, you can simply rotate the trimmer's head to achieve the angle that gives you the best reach. The rotating head has a 41-millimeter cutting width that lets you cut more hair with each stroke, and it provides a consistent and even cut every time.

Easy Adjustments for the Perfect Length
With 20 length settings between a #1/2 and #9, the Do-it-Yourself Hair Clipper gives you the options you need to create the haircut you want. It's easy to adjust to the length setting using the integrated zoom ring. Simply turn the wheel until you reach the right length for your hair--check the length settings on the side of the comb for accuracy.

Contour-Following Combs and Skin-Friendly Blades for Comfort
The Do-it-Yourself Hair Clipper features 2-D combs (big, small, and precision) that move slightly up and down to follow the contours of your head for a smooth, even, and comfortable haircut. Both the combs and the stainless steel blades feature rounded edges that prevent scratching and increase comfort.

Precision Trimmer Contours Around Ears and Trims Sideburns
A precision trimmer is included for contouring around the ears and trimming your sideburns. This handy attachment ensures you'll always have a well-groomed look.

Easy-Clean Design
The Do-it-Yourself Hair Clipper is fully washable for easy cleaning. Keep it neat and tidy by simply running tap water over the combs and blades. There is no maintenance or lubrication required with this easy-to-use clipper--simply use, wash, and pack away for the next time.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've been cutting my own hair for probably over a year now using the Philips Norelco QC5170 180-Degree Hair Clipper so naturally I was excited to try this do-it-yourself hair clipper. After a few haircuts, though, I must say that I can't really tell that much of a difference. When comparing the two, the only significant difference I could find was that this model is washable.

So, if you've seen the two models and aren't sure what to get, well then I guess this one is better for the washability because both seem to work well. Here's my list of pros and cons, which (with few exceptions) applies to both.

Pros:
- Cuts very well. I have thick hair so I was nervous that a wireless clipper wasn't going to be able to actually cut like a professional. It does. Sometimes you gotta go over the same spot a few times to...Read more

Very satisfied with this unit. The swivel head is very useful, especially for cutting the left side of the head using the right hand. You swivel it 45, then 90 degrees one way to cut from the back of the head, and 45 then 90 degrees the other way to cut from the front of the head. Nice height adjustments with a wide range. It is difficult to get hair to stand up enough for larger guard lengths so clippers can trim the tips off, but that is the art of hair cutting. I suspect that is why at salons they do it by hand with comb and scissors. I use a brush to help it stand up on top just prior to the clippers coming in. I use #6 on top, #3 on the sides and back, and #2 on the lower sides and back, in that order. I do it once a week just prior to a shower, and have a small canister vacuum cleaner to clean up the small amount of hair in the bathroom. Bathroom has great light and mirrors. Just prior to showering, I plug unit in to recharge then put the vacuum away. It is recharged...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
First, I like to review based primarily on the value of a product. This hair clipper is more expensive than another hair cut clip Vine sent for my review: Remington Products HC5350AM Professional Cord/cordless Rechargeable Haircut Kit. That one has top notch construction, and I note even that one is much more expensive than the hair cut kit I actually purchased with my own money some time ago Remington HC-8017B Precision 22 Piece Corded Haircut Kit.

So, I'm trying to get real here about spending $60 for a product I suspect most people spend $20 on. Why would you?

Well, this one's a LOT better. First of all, the construction quality of excellent. The handle and the...Read more
