I was not expecting much if i am honest but i have been pleasantly surprised by not only how quiet this is but also how long the batteries last, how good they cut and well everythign about them to be frank.
I had a set of Remmingtons before and they were corded and i got sick to death of getting caught up in the lead but having read so many reviews on different cordless ones i was not expecting these to be great especially with them coming with two batteries as i was expecting the one to die after 5 minutes or something stupid but that does not happen.
I am not the quickest at cutting my husbands hair as I have mobility problems yet these will easily do his hair several times on one charge. But having the other battery as a failsafe is great so if they one battery goes you can just swap it over. Failing that you can still use it with it plugged in so you can still use them no matter what.
So these are a definite 5 star from me.
