Because of the way the blade tilts I have no problem getting the back of my head on both sides. I cut with the direction of my hair and the clippers work great. Fastest hair cut I have ever given myself.

I really like these clippers. I can only compare to what I've used in the past and the clipping action on these is great. The fact that it's cordless is priceless. I used to have to lean over in aqward positions because I was attached to a wall socket with my other clippers. This has cut my hair cutting time down a lot.

I love the fact that there are only 2 attachments instead of 8 like my other ones. Takes up less space. And these attachments seem to be flexible. Causes less irritation than my other stiff/solid attachments on my old clippers.

I didn't think I would use the side flipping feature much but I actually like it. Causes less strain on your wrist when doing the back of your head.

My only complaints are I wish that settings could be set for a little shorter and a little long so that it matched the length capabilities of my old clipper. But nothing to cry over.

AlSo these clippers seem to be on the noisy side.

And the charging time is pretty long, but thankfully you are able to use these clippers while it is plugged into the wall charging with the supplied power cord. That would be awful to be in mid haircut and they died and you had to wait 8 hours to finish. Lol

The only positive thing I can say about this clipper is that it's cordless. In all other ways, it's inferior to the Wahl I've been using for almost 40 years. I cut my own hair and like to clip my hair close. The only attachment that clips close is small, about the width of your index finger and impractical to use on your entire head. The swivel head sounds good, but is of little use. I gave this thing a chance, using it 3 times before reviewing it, but each time I had to clean up the cut with my trusty Wahl. Next time, I'll just go back to the Wahl.

Have held off with this review because I have not used this Hair Trimmer since I bought it. Used it today and was very surprised that it was so easy to use. Missed a few hairs but with the help of a friend that was taken care of in no time. Cuts very close if you use the right settings. Did not see that there were 5 settings until I finished the first time then I set it all the way down and I could hear it cutting a lot more (well maybe not that much) but it did shave more off. I didn't think the pivoting head was that big of a deal but maybe with time I will get used to it.

No regrets about buying it,
Ray G.

It does a very job cutting hair to just the length you want. My only "con" is that it is difficult to maneuver around the ears.

It took a few minutes for my husband to understand how this works, quiet and easy to use. [...]

This product works great and is not a gimick. I also use the Just-A-Trim and this trimmer provides more adjustment to cut hair lengths all over your entire head. The adjustment locks and is easy to change the setting. You can cut the back of your head yourself. Now I don't have to go to the barber as often. This is a quality product which should last for many years.

Works great for the top of the head, but doesn't get sides and back close enough. I use it on the shortest setting. I wound up having to use my other clippers to get the sides and back short enough. I wish they had another comb that would approximate at least a Number 1 clipper blade. Otherwise it works great as far as no nicks and cuts. Trimmer works well too.
