Conair Corded/Cordless Even-Cut Rotary Haircut Kit

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.

After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit hesitant when ordering this. But I was pleasantly surprised, it does a very good job. My advice, take your time, be patient. So why not 5 stars? 1 -it comes with its own wall charger, in 2025 why not USB-C? 2 – The instructions recommended that you lubricate blades, but the bottle of oil is very tiny. A bigger bottle of oil would be appreciated. I have only had it for a few weeks, but I have already recommended it to a couple of friends.

Much easier to use over the buzz-cut razors I have been using for the last 40 years.... I got tired of having the comb/guide fall off and ending up with gouges in my hair. This unit cures that problem. I am 68 years old and still have thick hair and no receding hairline. (Thank you mom!) Maybe my success here is that I keep my hair to less than 1/2" long. I cut using a setting that cuts to 3/8" long. I can see how having to cut longer hair that it will bog down the works. Just cut more often. I have seen no irregular length cuts and cannot imagine how others have been able to get it to fail. I just keep running it around in circles until it no longer sounds like it is cutting any more hair. It does require dumping out the clippings so I keep a shallow box nearby. Hair comes out easily but may need to be brushed out occasionally. Someone complained that it does not shave very well. I don't think it is designed to be a shaver. Get over it! Battery holds a charge no problem after two years. It is a challenge to change the setting so if you want varying lengths during the same cut it is a bit difficult changing the guide. Once in place, it is reliable. I was using a conventional buzz cutter. Combs fell off and I had to hold a thumb to keep it on. I had to hold it perpendicular to my head and had difficulty reaching all areas of my scalp. I had to use mirrors to see where cutting was needed. With the circular cutter, I just keep making circles until I am done. As it traps hair inside, it can cause hair to be cut extremely snort so I use a cape to catch loose ends. Easy to clean. I use a spray lube to keep it working smoothly. Very happy with this product.

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 have been cutting my own hair with regular hair clippers for over 20 years but the blades are becoming dull. Twice I have purchased replacement clippers that did not cut as well as the old clippers. This was my third attempt to find a replacement and I am happy to say this hair cutter cuts nicely, and gives a scalp massage at the same time. The rotary, onmi-directional cutter makes it a little easier to get an even haircut, but an additional trimmer is needed to taper the sides and back. The cutter includes two 'comb guides' with two settings each. The short guide is for 1/8" and 1/4" length haircuts, and the long guide is for 3/8" and 1/2" length haircuts. A comb guide for 3/4" length haircuts would have been nice; 1/2" is slightly shorter than I like. I see no great advantage over a regular hair clipper; and this cutter has the disadvantage of fewer length options, no angled attachments for trimming around the ears, and an additional trimmer is needed for tapering or blocking on the sides and back, and it is more difficult to clean after use than a regular hair clipper. With these limitations, I think this cutter is overpriced by about half. However, what it does do, it does well.

I am mostly bald. If I let my hair grow out it looks weird. I have been considering shaving my scalp, but I hate to shave and my face is more than enough. So up until now I have been getting my head cut short every 6 months and it looks ragged once it grows back. This arrived yesterday and I have used it only once, but this thing is easy to use. Every few weeks I can use it again and keep myself with what used to be called a "crew cut". I have very fine hair but it was still able to cut it well. Much easier to use than a standard trimmer if all you want is an even cut. My hands are fairly small and this is bigger than it looks, but no problem. If you have really small hands that might be an issue for you. Battery life is adequate, but you probably won't get more than 1 or 2 uses per charge. This being my first cut took longer than it will in the future, and I could just sense it was slowing a bit at the end of the cut. I generally lean towards corded appliances, but using this outdoors was a great way to avoid cleanup so cordless was useful. I am an engineer, so when they batteries fail I will replace them. FOLLOW UP I continue to really like this thing. Initially I couldn't get the hair near my ear adequately cut and would have to trim those spots, but with practice often I don't have to do that any more. It really is a game changer for anyone that just want a trim and be self sufficient. I just use it in the dry shower to catch the hair, then brush up the mess and then shower to get the hair off me. Recently I adjusted to use a slightly longer cut.

There is very little learning curve and after watching a Youtube Review, I charged it up and cut my hair!!! My hair seems to lay in all directions and this Conair Rotary Cutter worked Great.

I've been shaving my own head for years, and was looking for an easier alternative to standard hair clippers when my pair died. This ALMOST cuts it. It is very easy to use, just turn on and do LOTS of little circles on your head for a while, and dump the hair clippings every so often. Unfortunately that's about all that's good about it. The battery is so bad I don't even try to use it as a cordless device. Since day one, the battery will die out halfway through cutting my hair, and the motor slows to pulling hair rather than cutting. It also does not get close enough to my ears, and requires another cutting method to finish trimming. Cleaning the unit is also very difficult. The hair gets caught inside and stuck to the sides very easily, and getting it out is near impossible. The trimmer DOES WORK, but conair needs to redesign this (they might have, I got the "black" and now see a "red").

Ik vond het teleurstellend om te ontdekken dat de oplader is voorzien van een Amerikaanse stekker i.p.v. een Europese. Om deze Conair HC900 op te kunnen laden, moet ik dus eerst op zoek naar een verloopstekker. Mag ik verwachten dat voor een prijs van Euro 94,62 de oplader wordt geleverd met de juiste stekker of een verloopstekker? Verder kan ik in de verpakking absoluut géén olie vinden, terwijl op doos toch duidelijk staat: "Includes oil". Hopelijk werkt de Conair HC900 wel zoals op Youtube clips te zien is. I was disappointed to discover that the charger comes with a US plug instead of a European one. To be able to charge this Conair HC900, I first have to look for an adapter plug. Can I expect that for a price of $98,08 the charger will be delivered with the correct plug or an adapter plug? Furthermore, I can find absolutely no oil in the packaging, while the box clearly states: "Includes oil". Hopefully the Conair HC900 will work as shown on Youtube clips.

Great product. Great packaging with all necessary accessories. Works perfectly.

Works great love these for shaving your head. Works perfect.

Il a malheureusement été livré sans prise de courant utilisable en France mais avec une prise américaine. Par ailleurs il manque le mode d'emploi. Sinon c'est très pratique pour avoir les cheveux très courts et pour les voyages du type expédition

I think overall this is a good piece of machinery. It works as designed. I would recommend that for first use to set the height to maximum until you get used to using it I found it created an overall consistent cat on blade level 3 and 2
