Great clipper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Braun in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
There are many things to like about this clipper.
It is pretty light and the convenience and flexibility it provides when using the inbuilt battery is unparalleled.
The blade is really gentle on my skin, leaves me with no cuts and a nicely cut hair.
It is also convenient as a travel companion compared to my other heavy clipper that doesn't give me as cool a haircut as this Braun clipper.
Overall, i will recommend this clipper to anyone looking for convenience and a really nice haircut.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This clipper is awesome! It's very easy to use and has everything a guy needs for a quick touch up. The rechargeable batteries option is a big plus. It doesn't bother my skin and leaves a perfect trim. The small travel bag makes it easier to pack and I would recommend this product to everyone.

[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.

Great Clipper for everyday use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Hair Clipper HC5090 simplicity is the key to its success. While the cordless feature isn't necessarily innovative on it's own, having a simple guard change setting turned out to be a great feature. This clipper is truly portable as you could easily charge it up and take it for the weekend trip and all you would need is the clipper. Especially if you like to trim and shape your beard on a regular basis. I like to keep my hair just a little bit longer than my beard but I like to use clippers for both. So the Braun Hair clipper worked out great for me. One of the main differences from my old clipper I noticed is that I didn't have to wade through 12-15 guards to find the right one. All I had to do was move it up and down to set it to the right length, which is a big improvement for me. And when you combine that with a product that you don't have to be tied to a wall socket to use, it really opens up a lot of possibilities for trimming your hair and beard. Outside cuts are much easier!
The product is also much easier to clean because you can actually get behind the blades which is nice. The clippers seemed a little smaller than what I was use to in terms of size, but I did notice that it actually helped me get the contours of my head and chin a little more even than my old bulkier clippers. The clippers are also much quieter as well while still providing a quality cut. Overall, theBraun Hair Clipper HC5090 is a great everyday multiuse clipper and a pleasure to use.

OK clipper, the competition is better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Braun Hair Clipper HC5090 and tried it out immediately. First thing I noticed is that the packaging is nice, it's presentable and was easy to open. I hate those blister packs, so this was a pleasant uneventful unboxing, just how I like it.
In the package, I found the following items:
1) Braun Hair Clipper HC5090
2) Beard trimming attachment
3) Long hair trimming attachment
4) AC charger
5) Charging base station
6) Blade lubricating oil
7) Small brush
8) Travel pouch
1) Braun Hair Clipper HC5090

8) Travel pouch
You're supposed to let the battery charge when using products for the first time as they will discharge during shipping and extended periods before they end up in actual use, but I was happy to see the battery had more than enough juice for my first use.
I tried out the smaller beard attachment first, and immediately noticed how flexible the plastic veins were, and it did not feel high quality. The one thing that was secure, was the height adjustment. There is a push tab slider mechanism to adjust the height, and it won't budge as long as you keep your thumb off the button, which was actually a bit hard to do since it's perfectly placed right where your thumb naturally rests while holding the clipper, and the lightest thumb press will release the lock and change the height.
The quality of the cut was great. For a device with fresh blades, I expect nothing less, and this did not disappoint. It makes a very big mess though, and hairs will get into every nook and cranny of the clipper, of which there are many. Just after one use, I was finding hairs under the sliding locking mechanism and all over inside the device. It was difficult to clean and stow away, but I suppose that's why the brush is provided.
Overall it is an OK trimmer. I just checked the prices online, and I really think this is too expensive for what you get. My go-to trimmer is the Philips Norelco 7300. It has a vaccum and battery monitor, along with a turbo function to speed up the motor. It is priced similarly and in my opinion is far superior in terms of build quality, features, and functionality. That is the reason why I only give it 3/5 stars, because there are better products you can get for similar cost.
DISCLOSURE: I received this product for free from Braun in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recived the Braun Hair Clipper HC5090 from Braun for an honest review.And I must say this hair clipper is super easy to use, it comes with two attachments a small brush to brush off the blades charging base with cord and a small bottle of oil for the blades. It's light weight and simple to use attachments slide in easy and blade compartment opens for easy cleaning. Nice feature about this model is that it could be rinsed off with water. Highly recommended
