[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have use the Philips Series 5000 Washable Hair clipper for a few weeks now I used it to dry shave first and I have no complaints it cuts through hair like a breeze, i am not used to wet shaves with a hair trimmer I did have a few lose hairs that it did not cut but overall a well close trim I have course hair which sometimes catches and pulls with my old clippers with the 5000 there is no problem what so ever. It has a nice shaped handle for easy control nice speed variation and the adapter for hair length is good to use it has a nice carry case to keep everything together and a good battery life between charges.
