I’ve had it for almost 3-4 years. Very lightweight, long cord, with many settings on the comb, moderately powerful motor that nevertheless does an excellent job. I had a rechargeable one and I was fed up; it was weak, lost its charge, I couldn’t cut my hair without charging it hours before, I threw it away when it died. This Philips suited me perfectly, I plug it into the outlet, it’s more powerful than the dead rechargeable one and gives a much better result. I would buy it again a thousand times over.

I had an older model and it was much better. 10 years of use with an amazing shave. This new version seems weaker too, needs more passes, and has a much worse comb head.

I have used it 5 times. I have removed the comb since I don't have that much hair, so I don't know if the machine struggles with a lot of hair. For the use I make (hair - beard) I am very satisfied! I have recommended it to someone else to buy because it is very economical and does a good job

the machine is excellent
as long as you don't use a very low setting on very long and thick beards,
with gradual lowering it doesn't get stuck anywhere

I had bought an ancestor of Philips in 2005. It still works without me having oiled it for the last 15 years for sure. Only the cover broke and I have fixed it with a rubber band. Immortal dog!!!

This is the best hair clipper, immortal I have bought the same one for the second time. very powerful it doesn't struggle anywhere. my first one lasted over ten years and still works perfectly. the blades never need sharpening.

VFM hair clipper in all aspects, it doesn't get clogged with hair, it doesn't have a battery but I prefer it because batteries tend to wear out relatively quickly. It seems relatively delicate and not sturdy as a device; the future will show regarding its durability.

It's worth the money. I cut my hair myself, and with this particular machine, it's easier for me as it doesn't get stuck. It has many settings, and that's a plus.

Very good for the money. Relatively quiet and with a rounded blade that doesn't scratch. Also very light compared to others. I had bought it again in the past and used it very often for over 3 years. In the meantime, I had a professional one that cost three times as much, which got so hot that it burned you on direct contact with the skin of the head. With the Philips, I never had such an issue, that's why I bought it again. I use it for shaving my head. In 3-4 minutes I'm done.

I had previously a similar model from Philips with which I was very satisfied. I got this one which is almost exactly the same. Equally satisfied with this one as well.

After 10 years of use, I declare myself completely satisfied! If mine breaks, I will immediately go and buy it again if it is still available. Because it is electric, it is very powerful and does not get clogged or stuck at all! It cuts the hair very well and easily!

For cutting children's hair, it is average. It leaves gaps and does not erase well. However, it is ideal for the body. It is worth the money

The Philips machine is excellent, like all its machines, it trims and shaves comfortably. It may not be as sharp as a razor, but it does a good job. It also trims well, although someone with thick hair might struggle a bit. It has good power and is easy to clean with its brush. It doesn't need oil, as it is self-sharpening. It has a decent length of cable. Overall, it is worth its money

I have it since November 2017..... Until today, it's a black dog..... Every month it has its honor for trimming, and twice a month for grooming.... It doesn't get clogged... its cable is about 1.8-2 meters long, but very thin.... It doesn't have a built-in battery, so it needs to be permanently connected to the socket when in use.... I have broken the two left teeth of the comb, but it still does its job.... It is a must in this price category.... I would definitely buy it again.

I have it for shaving, you can't really say it's powerful. It clogs a bit but cleans very easily. I wouldn't buy it if I knew its power.

Very good hair clipper that I have for many years, definitely 8 years or more. I cut my husband's hair, my son's hair, and many others with it. It started to slow down with a lot of use, but it still works like a charm. Now I bought the same one again, just with a cord and no battery like the previous one, but it doesn't bother me at all. Price is 18.90 with shipping costs. I highly recommend it.

Quite a good shaving/trimming machine, as long as you don't want it completely clean-shaven. Meaning, you won't have a military shave, it leaves some stubble that makes you look unshaven for 1-2 days. Other than that, it is quite powerful, user-friendly, cleans very easily, appears to be of good quality, the cord is long enough, and it doesn't heat up while using it

I have the QC5120(!) which is almost the same model for about 13 years now.
I cut my hair (by myself) every 2 months, and if necessary, I also cut a friend's hair.
Shaving depends on the weather, and also on the body.

The machine has seen a lot of use. It has fallen and a tooth from the top comb has broken, but other than that, with good cleaning after each use, it has never disappointed me.

I have been using it for a short time, simply because I have experience with similar machines, I can say that it does its job perfectly for its price!

POSITIVES: satisfactory trimming, very lightweight, quite cheap.

NEGATIVES: Works only with a cord, fake and very fragile plastic attachments, therefore with light use the lock on the blades broke so it does not secure well.

It trims moderately to well because it does not have enough power for hair and tends to get stuck especially in thick hair.

The machine is a beast. My previous machine was also a Philips with a cord (no battery) and I used it about 6-7 times a month for shaving and haircuts for a whole 9 years! A workhorse. When the front plastic broke, I preferred to get a new one because I was tired of it after so many years, and mainly because the part that broke cost half the price—including shipping—of this particular machine. I hadn't decided what model I would get or whether it would be corded or cordless, but what I knew for sure was that it would be Philips.

So after a brief search, I ended up with this one due to positive reviews and high ratings. I've had it for a year now and it works perfectly. I believe this one will also prove to be a WORKHORSE like the previous one. Time will tell.

If you want something cheap and of good quality, I wholeheartedly advise you to get this one.

Update: 29/10/2025 Still going strong as expected. A workhorse.

Awesome machine, I had it for 4 years and it was great for both trimming and shaving....It was worth the money!!
It started losing its power and I had to replace it luckily it's still available!
I ordered it again!

Very good for shaving beards with daily use. Strong-advantage that it does not need to be charged because it maintains its power. I have had it for 3 years

Perfect!! It's worth its money, it doesn't get clogged, it cleans very easily, I have it for three years. I will probably buy a second one.

Very good machine as long as it is used simply as a trimmer. With its comb on top, it doesn't do such a good job. However, for "cleaning" at low settings or for someone looking for a shaving machine to shave their face, it is the best "cheap" option. The fact that it is powered by electricity without a battery may have the negative aspect of not being wireless, but it extends its life significantly, even in professional use.

For haircutting, it's not the best. Although its power is strong, its comb is not convenient for fine details.
