Review of Philips Norelco QC5055 Power Hair Clipper

Money is tight and I'm trying to save pennies wherever I can. My son and I need haircuts every 3-4 weeks, so the dollars add up.

These clippers make a lot of sense (cents? sorry). :)

There's not a ton of difference between me telling the girl at Supercuts to "use the #3 clippers on the sides and blend it on top" versus doing it at home, except maybe the mess. These clippers surprised me though, because they don't throw the hair all over the room the way other clippers do.

These clippers come with three different attachments: two for different hair lengths and one for a "stubble" finish. The attachments impressed me, because they were rigid enough to maintain a consistent length. I've had other trimmers where they were flimsy enough that applying pressure to the attachment would force it to cut shorter, which can be disastrous. I was also impressed with how well they clicked from setting to setting; the settings don't matter much if you can't click back to the one you want next time you use them.

I was happy to see that you could clean these clippers under a running faucet. It made it a lot easier to get a good clean result when I was done.

Finally, I was glad to see that I could use these clippers on my facial hair too. I don't like having different gadgets for different things, so it's nice to be able to use these clippers on my beard as well.
