Philips Series 9000 Pro Precision Hair Clipper for Total Control and Precision with 400 Length Settings - HC9450/13

Good quality

This is my 2nd time to buy the Philips 9000. I was a big fan, because I’m a bearded skinhead, and it does the job perfectly. My first one was in 2016, and it lasted for 5-6 years with no issues. Which is why when it went bad, I thought it’s only fair that I buy a new one. I bought this one is Apr 2022, and the batter is not accepting any charge all of a sudden. In 14 months, the battery is dead and is not accepting a charge! I’m shocked, disappointed, and appalled by this experience. This was shipped from the UK, so I’m expecting that it’s under a 24 months warranty, but I don’t even know where to go now since I ordered it on Amazon!

Gutes Gerät,nach kurzer Lernphase!Leider war kein Deutschnormstecker beim Ladekabel dabei.Gottseidank habe ich mehere PHilipsgeräte mit demselbem Ladekabel!

I've been using a 5000 series for a couple of years, over all the 5000 is a great trimmer but I found myself accidentally changing lengths as I change grip during cuts which wasn't ideal. Anyway, decided to re-do my bathroom, out with the old in with new... and I splashed out on the 9000 series. Mechanically, seems much the same as the 5000 which was slightly disappointing at first, not sure what I was expecting at the 5000 cut perfectly well - but once charged, soon I came to really enjoy the digital interface on the 9000, just knowing the battery level was nice compared to times past where the the light just starts flashing red mid-cut. The Memory setting is pretty crucial, I found myself able to tap the memory setting and do the sides / top & even went over my beard just fine. Note: To set memory (when turned off) select the desired length, hold the M until the 1 flashes on the right hand side, then release & hold M again for about 5 seconds and the screen with say "SET" when stored... just tap the M to switch to 1>2>3, and hold the button again to store it. And discovering the cutter Locks the length when you power it on was great, no longer will I accidentally shift up/down lengths by mistake. "Auto-Turbo" concerned me slightly, as generally I've found with all my philips cutters I turn it on and hit the turbo button - that's just how it is! but the automatic really doesn't need much/any noticeable resistance before the Turbo function kicks in and it leaves it running for a few seconds, much to my surprise it was pretty seamless. Overall - The cut is great, ergonomically it worked just fine never felt uncomfortable, love that it locks the length, memory settings are great for bouncing between lengths & no longer will I think to myself do I usually do this a 8 or a 10.. it's simply what I stored. So, I'm glad I went 9000 series and short of a huge price jump - it's just what I'll buy in future.

My last Philips hair trimmer lasted for over 10 years so it made sense to buy another one. The only thing I didn't notice was that the electrical plug was for the UK, not Australia.

The best hands down! Very powerful Many choices that fits most of men Smart turbo mode that kicks in when needed Can actually run for 2 hours with one charge And extremely precise

Great Maschine!!!
