Conair Corded/Cordless Even-Cut Rotary Haircut Kit

Works as advertised and after following the instructions it did not take long to get the proper length setting I wanted Great results

Shipping was on time and well done. The machine performance was surprisingly good. About one or two minutes rolling this machine around on your head was all it took. I was even able to get a pretty good tapered cut by cutting the lower areas with closer cut adjustment.

This is a perfect haircutting solution provided that you have short hair (ideally less than 1/2 inch) and want to cut it to uniform length. If you have longer hair, or want varying lengths, there are better options.For me this is perfect. It replaces an old Remington that was shaped like a hairbrush. It was very simple to use (don't know why they no longer make it) and cut great. This Conair, while shaped differently, is almost as easy to use. Due to the size and shape it can be challenging to get behind my ears, but for everywhere else, it is excellent. It's easier to use than conventional clippers and provides a more even cut.The battery life is great, and I very much like that it can be used while charging. That ensures that the cutter will continue to be usable even when the battery fails to take a charge (inevitable). The build quality feels pretty solid, so I expect it will last for some time.A great trimmer - five stars.

I have been cutting my own hair for over 20 years, with several different hair styles as the times have changed. For the past 5 months, I have kept my hair evenly short, using a traditional hair clipper with a No. 1 attachment. When I saw this "rotary" hair clipper, I thought I'd give it a try to see if it would save me any time, or deliver better results. Unfortunately, using the HC900 took more time and delivered disappointing results.1. The design of the HC900 cuts/chops/clips your hair, but does not "eject" the hair, so it can build up in the cavity above the cutting blades. In turn the clippings continually get cut shorter and shorter, as it is recycled back into the cutting area. What happens is that a lot of the tiny clippings get embedded into your hair, or ejected all over the place. When using a traditional clipper, the first pass usually yields the longest clippings, and you can direct where those clippings are dropped. There is also minimal multi-chopped clippings that get stuck on the scalp.2. This does not clip evenly. Even after 20 passes over the same area, I could hear the clippers cutting a little bit more hair. The result is that there are a lot of high spots and a lot of low spots. A friend and my wife, both commented on how "off" the haircut was.3, You definitely need another set of traditional clippers to clean up the edges and also around the ears. Why bother with using more than one tool, when you can use just the traditional clippers.4. Cleanup is a real chore. Not only do the clippings get all over the place, cleaning the HC900 is a royal pain. When traditional clippers, all it takes is about 6 passes with the cleaning brush, and it looks brand new.If you want to cut your own hair, or have a friend/family member do it for you, save yourself the aggravation of buying one of these, and stick to the traditional clippers.

I could rate it between 3 and 5 should have researched further because I used it on my head to get a smooth bald head. because I did not get that I had to use a razor.

Works Great, no cuts like regular clippers. Takes a little bit more time but great results

There is most certainly a learning curve involved with using this. My hair is thinning. Comb overs is not a viable option and I have no interest in drugs. So that leave few options. Lately I have been just cutting it close, crew cuts. I've been doing it with traditional clippers and a #1 guard with good results. I'm not ready for full shaves yet. I figured this would be easier. Worth a try at least. In general it is but I need to keep a light touch with the back of my head, this should have been obvious but my hand was a little to heavy if you know what I mean. The parts of the back of my head with the most extreme curves are cut a little closer then the rest. I'll be wearing a hat for the next few weeks waiting for a little growth to have another go.My only issue with this unit is before the 1st use we have to charge it for 16 hours and it don't have anything to indicate when it is fully charged. It lights up red while charging and green when in use but nothing to let you know when it is fully charged. With all the fires lately from lithium ion batteries I am more then uncomfortable leaving unattended for 16 hours. And baby sitting it for 16 hours is a pain in the ass. The green light when in use seems useless as the clipper vibrates when turned on. You can easily tell when holding it and when on a table it dances. So what's the point? That green light would be better used to indicate a full charge.

Terrible design, impossible to get an even cut and the longest length is very short.
