HattekerProfessional Hair Clipper Cordless Clippers Hair Trimmer Beard Trimmer Shaver Detail Trimmer Hair Cutting Kit for Men Waterproof

Why have I never heard of this make before?I bought these clippers on the strength of the other reviews, and I'm very glad that I did. The spec and reviews are so much better than similarly priced products from household names.I deliberately left it a good while before writing a review, so I could give these trimmers a lot of use and a few charges.I use them every week to keep my hair down to the lowest 0.5mm setting, and quickly pop a guard on to keep my beard a bit longer.It's well built, and feels substantial, while being easy to hold. The twisting micro adjuster has a positive action, as does the on/off button. The guards also clip on and off well.Being cordless it's very convenient to use, but still has lots of power and does the job very quickly and relatively quietly. Quite often the (brilliant) battery life indicator hasn't dropped at all by the time I'm finished.Even when it finally runs low, you can pop it onto the handy USB powered charger, and it's ready to go again in around an hour. I've been using these clippers every week for months now and have only needed to charge it twice so far.Superb!

As my random survey of whether or not to use a bootleg barber in the era of Covid showed a large majority sticking to the rules [this is not allowed yet from where I write] I did the socially responsible thing and plunged into the world of self-barbering if that is a term, preceded by copious research (which like looking for a good frying pan is a bit circular - many of the reviews keep leading to sales links whereby the reviewer probably gets a cut for every click through (so much for objectivity)). At any rate the Hatteker came up in the top ten in the UK in many surveys - I was hesitant as these have 'ceramic' blades where others boast 'super space age self sharpening steel (etc etc)'. And ceramic just doesn't sound like a...scissors does it ? BUT these were in stock and rated highly by the aforesaid articles (which tells you something at least). The box arrived wrapped in plastic MADE IN CHINA. Uh-oh I thought. That's where the anxiety stopped and dear reader, this product turned out to be a home run. I tried it out that night after studying more than a few Youtube videos on how to clipper your own hair (spoiler : shave UP simply put) and this worked like a wiz. I had a pretty shaggy head after 8 weeks without a cut but I was done in 20 minutes exactly as I wanted it - perfect cut. Kudos from my wife who was alarmed I was even trying this and other friends who could not believe how it came out when they asked to see photos. Here's the high points : at least 8 attachments for different lengths PLUS a central band which you can further grade the length of the cut from .5 to 2.5 mm in length PLUS two additional switch out razor heads for beard AND trimming back of the neck, side burns and eyebrows PLUS a extra lithion separately chargeable battery PLUS a very solid hold in the hand device whose power is more than enough for most (male) heads of hair PLUS all washable in water and ALL the head snap off and on extremely easily making it a cinch to clean and keep in good order. Only thing missing is a storage pouch - I dug a medium grade mid size travel pouch out of the closet and you can separate the shaver heads, other attachments and other gimracks in separate zip to seal bags you can get in any grocery store and put them in such a bag and you're good to store. The instruction sheet is useless except how to charge the battery [there is no charging stand by the way - you just charge the batteries with the charger and slip them in the phone (the stand is just to hold the thing up if you want to keep it in your bathroom that way vs storing it] - and there is a video review on Hatteker (a different model but much the same) on Youtube which explains the parts and how things clip on and off. Am taking the time on writing this as I was really shocked on the great result. I am sure there are others just as good but heh this is in stock, worked brilliantly and the price is excellent for the value. The main moral question is - what happens to the male haircutting and styling industry if we all get addicted to these things ? Not a pleasant question..... However you can rationalize getting one of these as the cost of one is the cost of a medium to higher grade haircut these days so what the heck. You can deal with the existential moral issues later... Enjoy

I've only used this shaver once (4/6/2020) so my review is on first use.PRO's: The shaver looks well built, looks good, has great battery life (150 mins) and seems easy to hold. It's cordless and it has a very clear digital read-out of battery life (in percentage). The battery went down 20% while I faffed about attempting to cut my hair. Once I become more proficient, and I cut my hair more regularly, I suspect the battery life will still be in the 90's when I finish. I didn't need to re-charge it but I stuck it on charge from 80% and within 5 or 10 mins it was back to 100% (plugged into the wall). Wow!CON 1: PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX! I pulled the plastic tray out of the box and the lower part of the plastic tray that everything sat in was not taped to the top of the tray, and due to the weight of the shaver, most of the contents fell out, including the shaver. I was SO lucky that I happened to be holding it over a surface that was only 6-8 inches away. And I was lucky that the shaver never landed on the blade. There is a blade protector in the package but the shaver was not packaged with the protector on the blade.CON 2: The guide combs. They fit well enough but they have two prongs that sit in a hole on either side of the head of the shaver. They snap into the holes on the way in but I wonder how long it will be before one of the little prongs breaks as you ease them out. Time will tell. I guess if you only use one guide comb you may not remove it all that often.CON 3: There is a stand for the shaver and there is a cable you plug into the bottom of the shaver to charge it (so you have to lie the shaver down to charge it). Both work fine. It's seems a bit unusual that one of the most technological countries in the world (China) didn't integrate both together. My Philips shaver has a stand that is also a charger and I've had that for a few years now (similar price). I would have used that but it's not quite the right shape.It's lockdown time in the UK and my hair BADLY needed cutting. I was SO happy to be able to get the job done with this shaver. It's the first time I've ever cut my own hair and my co-ordination left a bit to be desired! But I pretty much got there. The front and sides looks pretty much like they normally do when I go to the barber (blade 7 all over, 22-24 mm) but the back was a bit rough because I just couldn't get my arms to do what I wanted! I found there were a few long bits of hair sticking up near my crown (which I gave up on that day, but I got some of them the next day). I also found it really tricky to get a "really" tidy line at the back of my neck (because I couldn't reach/couldn't co-ordinate with the two mirrors!) and in trying to do so I probably made it look a bit messier than it was. Lesson learned! There is a "fine tuning" adjustment on the blade that goes from 0.1mm to 2.5mm and I found this very useful to try and get a "tidy" line around my ears. The blade touched my ears as well but it didn't nick, catch or cut them.I think it would be easier to shave the back of my head if I didn't have to hold up a mirror to look in another mirror whilst I cut my hair, so maybe I need to try and get a mirror on a telescopic stand (if that even exists). But hopefully, now that I have the shaver, cutting my hair will become easier, especially since my hair will never be as long again, and so maybe, not as tricky to cut again. I'll keep practising though and hopefully my arms will stretch to the parts I want to get to and my hands will hold the shaver at the correct angle!
