PHILIPS HC9490 / 15 Hair Clipper Pro Series 9000 Engine Blades Titanium (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

Among the many objects Philips products, shaving is an important part for the past many years. My first was a hair clipper Philips elsewhere, and since 2008, it is clear that the Dutch brand has evolved. Well, at the same time, the price also experienced a rather sudden change, but I will return to this point later.

And if we start at the beginning, one can only be cheerful when unpacking the package. Because the mower throws really aesthetically speaking, and if we dwell on the colors and materials chosen, we approach this side of perfection. Ideally curved to accommodate the palm of the hand and ensure a pleasant and intuitive decision, the form is really perfect. The charging cradle is to match, practice, small footprint and allows a short charge time (big time) to easily use up to five or six cuts.

The mower is accompanied by three hooves allowing a very significant change: from 1 to 42 mm, this allows short to unleash the imagination :-) To adjust the size, nothing easier thanks to the small wheel that allows precision 0.1 millimeter. To cut a lambda, it's not more than that is (accurate to 0.5 would have been enough), but for a more tailored cut, this can be non-negligible. Everything fits into a nice cover (as HR Giger would not disown!) Which however does not leave the possibility of inserting a shoe inside. And we come to wonder whether this is not a deliberate mistake, as these clogs are the main pitfall of this special package mowing.

Indeed, those damn shoes are molded in a plastic appears brittle (and in this case, much less robust than my old model to thirty euros there seven years). If at the shave that does not pose a problem therefore in terms of breakage (except to support as an ox while shaving, but that is at the risk of each!), It is however much more difficult for which is clipped the shoe on the mower. The two ends minis are very thin, and the risk of sizeable break in my opinion. And use, it is not just a technicality. Instead, we must be particularly careful each time to avoid any risk of the mower quickly lose its functionality And frankly, at 150 euros, it hurts a little anyway.

Too bad, because at this price, this detail puts a damper on the thoroughness of which had shown Philips to design this device. Besides, it does not prevent to maintain a very positive review on the product as the use, the mower is really perfect. But the bad taste (or cost, you really never know) is a tad disappointing ... Do not reproduce in future updated version!
