Review: awesome piece of kit - This is my first ever go at cutting my own hair. I'd let it grow 4" long, then set to work with these clippers using the "large comb" attachment at setting 5, = 21mm cut length. My hair was a little greasy, and the cut to begin with was messy, but a good start. The clipper sounded like a bee buzzing around my head. I occasionally stopped to slide off the transparent comb to tip out collected cuttings. I washed my hair, and before it was completely dry continued, going slowly in every possible direction, rotating the cutting head on the clipper body whenever I needed to come at a different angle, listening to the rattling sound each time the teeth engaged with some hair and began cutting, and got a near perfect cut! Was curious about going shorter, so turned dial down to 4 which claims to cut to 19mm on the large comb, and began cutting my now dry hair. Immediately could hear the rattling cutting sound as I moved over each new area. Very neat cut again, just a little shorter. Turned down to 3 = 17mm, then 2=15mm and after a few minutes was satisfied with that length. Those length specifications looked fairly accurate to what I got. I have fine but dense straightish hair. I finished off over the ears with the small trimming blade. I'm very impressed with how easy this device is to use, and I've not even tried the 6 shorter length settings yet. Now that I've got my hair fairly short, it'll only take a few minutes each week kneeling on a towel in front of a mirror to keep my hair looking very neat. Money very well spent. Review: Perfect for the typical guy's "short back and sides" cut - Times are tough so I thought I'd save on the £45/month I was spending on haircuts. Plus, the cuts I was getting were pretty poor so I thought, "What do I have to lose?" I've had other clippers in the past but this one is comfortable to use, it has enough power to cut through my tough hair without jamming and it's fool proof. After three cuts I've got my technique down. I typically have a short-back-and-sides and the secret is to make several passes, reducing the length of the blade ONE step at a time (i.e. setting 5, then 4, 3, 2 etc) - don't jump steps (i.e. 5 to 3) or you will get a dog-chewed finish. Yes, it's more time-consuming but the end result is a lot neater and the gradation is much smoother. (Spend lots of time on the crown as, for some reason, I tend to miss that a lot and the hair stays longer there, making me look like an onion). The swivel head is a bit gimmicky in my opinion, it never quite swivels to the correct angle for me (45 degrees each turn) but that might be down to my funny-shaped head. I tend to keep the blade in one position and that works fine. Battery life is quite good - about 1 hour cutting time. When that runs out, you just plug in the mains to carry on/recharge. All in all, a good clipper with good quality blades and a strong motor that can manage tough hair. ## Features - Designed for self-use with up to 100 minutes cordless operation - 2 combs for length settings: 0-10 mm and 10-20 mm - Steel wave blade technology for great results - With the precision trimmer, you can create any style you want - Contour following comb ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GX37BU | | ASIN | B000GX37BU | | Brand | Philips | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (579) | | Customer reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (579) | | Date First Available | 14 July 2006 | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | QC5170/00 | | Manufacturer | Philips | | Product Dimensions | 15.24 x 15.24 x 7.62 cm; 136.08 g | ## Product Details - **Hair type:** All - **Item weight:** 0.3 Pounds - **Brand:** PHILIPS - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Special feature:** Cordless - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15.2 x 15.2 x 7.6 centimetres - **Blade material:** Alloy Steel - **Target audience:** Men - **Batteries required?:** No - **Specific uses for product:** For hairstyling ## Images ![Philips QC5170/00 Mains Rechargeable Hairclipper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518YNxtbwaL.jpg) ![Philips QC5170/00 Mains Rechargeable Hairclipper - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+T3uacf6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: where can i buy a replacement charger for philips QC5170 hair clippers?** A: I am not sure but you may find it on ebay... **Q: What kind of charger does this use?** A: It uses a Philips AC/DC (3 prong incorporated into charger) model 4222 036 1760 100-240V50/60Hz 4.5WSec: 2.4V 1000mAHopefully that answers your question.

That`s what i did when i needed to replace a part for my Philips shaver. As for gluing it, that will not work, i hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ awesome piece of kit *by J***Y on 17 February 2009* This is my first ever go at cutting my own hair.

Once i got tired of using them i just used to shave to the bone using a gillette blade. Now i'm approaching 30 i was growing bored of constantly have to shave my head, dealing with ingrowing hairs and such and decided it was time for a new set of clippers. When i spotted these i was immediately drawn to 2 things: 1) They're cordless, 2) The blades were stainless steel and maintenance free. Admittedly once i received them from Amazon my heart sank a bit, the clippers didn't match my expectations, it felt light and plastic y'know kind of cheap. But once i used them i was blown away (no i wasn't holding them with wet hands whilst they were plugged into the mains). They performed admirably, i have very fine hair (very little on the top and the usual around the side and back). I did have these on the shortest setting, and i haven't tried them with any of the attachments, but my head feels smooth and it didn't miss any patches. The rotating head isn't a gimmick either, when i was shaving the back of my head, switching the shavers head 90 degrees (you can turn it in increments of 45 degrees) took the strain out holding the clippers awkwardly and helped me achieve what i think is a very good cut. Plus they also double as beard trimmers (again i haven't tried to shave my face with the attachments on). Basically what i'm saying is that these are top notch. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/69555940-philips-qc5170-00-mains-rechargeable-hairclipper](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/69555940-philips-qc5170-00-mains-rechargeable-hairclipper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
