Braun hc5090

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for free from Braun to Review it and I love it. First off the brand Braun has never let me down. I have used their electrical shavers to body trimmers and now the new Braun hair clipper. It comes with two different size combs for you to choose from depending on your hair length. You are able to adjust it by swiping up and it locks great on the size you select. I trimmed my nephews hair from the sides with the 6mm hair comb and it came out great. I got a bit curious and decided to take off the hair comb once I finished with my nephew and trimmed my legs lol it's sensitive on the skin and gets a nice close shave :) love it over all

Braun HC5099

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recovered this item from Braun in exchange for an honest review. This trimmer has everything you would want from a hair trimmer, and it works great. The best feature is the fact that you can use this corded or cordless, and it holds a charge so well. The blades are sharp and cut well, but the teeth on the guard are spaced a little too far apart. If they added one tooth the guard would be fine, but I find it misses spots at times. This is a minor issue, everything else about this trimmer is great and I would definitely refer this to others.

Almost perfect...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PROS: First off, the product is great. Slick design, easy to use, simple charging options with a nice sleek charging base that barely takes up any room. The clipper itself is very lightweight and easy to hold and control. The blades are indeed sharp, just as advertised on the box. The machine also works while it is plugged into the wire, which is a plus, especially if you're in a hurry and forgot to charge it. Major pro: battery comes fully charged and ready to use.
CONS: Hair gets caught under the blade. When you open it up to clean, you'll find a large majority of hair in the blade pocket. The blade cap is also easily opened (could be good or bad, your preference). My main disappointment came from the battery. Although better than most clippers I have tried, this one says that it lasts for 50 minutes of non-stop usage...false. The battery weakened after 20 minutes of use and starting blinking red. 30 minutes into using it, it died completely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily one of the best clippers out there and the price is amazing. Easy to clean and cuts perfect and precise. I have had numerous clippers from competitive brands but these wireless, rechargeable hair clippers are a must for any man that desires a well kept head and/or beard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When using this hair trimmer I noticed the sharpness of the blades right away. It glide through your hair like no other trimmer I've used. I received the product free from Braun, the manufacturer of the product. I had showed my mom(a cosmetologist) as she works in great clips. She had said Braun is a very good company to get hair products from. I would for sure buy any Braun product in the future and tell me friends and people about how great their products are.

Great Hair Clipper!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this set of clippers, the adjustability of the guards is really nice. Used it last night on my beard and it worked really Nicely. The 10 minute charger for the battery work pretty well too. I killed it intentionally to test it out and it was ready to use and charged in less then 10 minutes. Was a very easy clean too! Just rinsed and let it dry on a towel. I usually don't like the way the cordless ones work and only buy, corded units but, so far this one is working really well. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a trimmer or hair clippers.

Simple, easy and gets the job done without the hassle...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the HC5090 free from Braun in exchange for an honest review. Having 3 males in the house, a decent hair clipper is almost a requirement or you'll be spending a lot of money at the barber shop. The timing of this product's arrival was great as my two boys and I were sorely in need of a trim. The unit comes with a convenient charging stand so it stores upright as not to take up too much room in the corner of the bathroom sink area. Included are two comb attachments (3-24mm and 14-35mm), a cleaning brush, oil bottle and a travel bag. Right off the bat I liked the idea of having to work with just two adjustable comb attachments instead of fumbling through a big box of ten like I had using an old product made by a different company. The combs hold secure with their memory SafetyLock system. It remembers the last length setting used and there's no risk of the accidental pop-off leaving you with the infamous bald patch.
My youngest wears his hair short. I started with the longer comb till I had an idea of how the length system worked. The HC5090 worked just as it's supposed to. After a few passes, the hair was trimmed down to the length we wanted. The unit did struggle a bit more with my older son as he has some very thick hair. I found that a slower hand remedied this but the extra work did cut into the advertised charge holding time of 50 minutes. I found actual working time was closer to the rage of 35-40 minutes which is still not bad considering what I put it through. As far as my own usage, the HC5090 was fast and easy. No need for switching back and forth between my old size 4, 6, 8 and sideburn combs. This unit did it all with just a slide of my thumb.
I think the best feature of all about this product is it's ability to get razor close. The areas such as the front hairline, sideburns and especially along the back of the neck were so easy to manage because the HC5090 cuts extremely close and accurate without the combs. There are no renegade hairs hanging in the back, no peach fuzz on the neck and the front of my boy's haircut was so straight that it looks like I did it with a ruler.
Overall, this is a solid unit. I'd recommend the Braun HC5090 to anyone who cuts their own hair, has kids or is simply looking to save a little money by cutting out the trip to the barber. You can do it all yourself with this clipper and it works great.
