Reviews seem to portray Philips Norelco QC5580 meant to SHAVE man's head. I do NOT WANT to shave my head. Can I cut my hair as a hair dresser do it?

The attachemet to bald your head works good but there is a clipper attachment too. You adjust it for different size cuts

Grant, the Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer does allow you to go as short as 1mm, but I suspect this would be too short. The Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer has settings at 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and more. The 1.5mm is perfect for me."TheDecider" also agrees that the 1mm is too short for a good stubble look: "However as others have noted this is a beard trimmer rather than a stubble trimmer. I wish there was a setting between 1(1mm) and 2(2mm). I find the 2 setting to be a bit too long. I also would not classify anything beyond 2 as "stubble"."See the pictures from my previous post.Also, the "Stubble trimmer" does not have a vacuum to catch the loose hairs. I find this vacuum feature worth the $5.70 extra. Grant, the Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer does allow you to go as short as 1mm, but I suspect this would be too short.

Well more than anything these machines are used for shaping up not really for shaving a whole head if you are looking for something like that u might want to try the Andis master clippers or even the whal seniors machines that are of great quality and are made for that type of job :) hope this helped

Ms. Meeker, the product description states, this is a "Philips Norelco's T780 AccuVac Beard and Moustache Trimmer". It works exceptionally well for trimming facial hair, for which it was designed. It would more than likely "Jam" if you were going to attempt to cut the hair on someone's head. The chamber that collects facial hair trimmings is very small, and intended for catching small cuttings of beard and Moustache hair. I hope this helps you.

ABSOLUTELY! To perfection! It has a "soft" switch which is easier on sensitive skin and hard heads! It will go around the contours nicely! And you can do it in the shower without a mirror. I shave the back of my neck dailt when I shave my face with this. No irritation at all, unlike Norelcos & especially Brauns. You'll LOVE it!!! Good Luck!

Couldn't agree with you more. I haven't purchased the mangroomer but i heard nothing but bad results from others. I ended up purchasing this backspa back shaver and have been incredibly happy with the results. The fact that i can shaver without having to worry about shaving cream or more prep time is just fine with me. Seems to me that electronic trimmers for your back is not what we are all after. it's cool that it reaches your back but I personally want a clean smooth back shaver and not just a trim.

I believe so. I think my brother, who is a barber, uses it at his barber shop. But I'm not sure. He recommended it though, says its a great razor. I bought it for my dad for his face. They say it does a nice close shave. But I'd imagine its like any typical razor where u have to cut down the hair and then use it. But I dunno I'm not a guy so I don't use one, I only see my husband use it.

There is a precision trimmer that slides out the rear similar to those on previous Norelco models for sideburns, nose hairs, etc. if that is what you mean by a body groomer.It is noisier than on my previous shavers, but works very well.

No, am looking at my second set of broken guides. the plastic comb is poorly designed. i am putting a warranty claim in on Norelco, it has a 24mo warranty. they sending new part. they were very nice. here is their parts site https://philips.encompass.com/model/NORQC5570%7C40/_/_/Norelco/QC5570%7C40/Headgroom_Do_It_Yourself_Hair_Clipper_Easy_Reach_180_Plus

I don't shave my head, but I can't imagine why this wouldn't work well for you. I am absolutely sold on this razor for normal face-shaving duties.

I wold not recommend it. It is great for hair, but it is way to big and clunky for a beard trimmer. Phillips (and others) do beard trimmers which are 1/4 of the size, battery operated and can handle different "styles". This one is super powerful, but it would feel like trimming your beard with an chainsaw...

Yes...but I personally think it is not very convenient comparing with the trimmer also from Panasonic ( I had that one before). The head can be removed from the body and is washable so all stubbles can be washed off....

I'm thinking they're Phillips Norelco HQ55...which seems to have disappeared entirely from retailer's shelves in my area! You can order them, but as much as they're going to cost you, it'll probably be cheaper to buy a new shaver.

A heads up to everyone who hasn't bought this yet: Amazon now has it available for preorder, available Sept. 1, 2014 as direct from them with Prime shipping. And at a discount from the $ 64.99 MSRP: As of today, $ 49.65. I recommend locking in the price now. If it goes up, you've saved. They have a policy if there's a price drop up to when it is released, you get it at that price. Sweet! Heres the listing : Philips Norelco RQ12/62 Replacement Head for Series 8000 and ArcitecThe picture looks different cosmetically. The actual cutting heads look similar to the original functionality, and should work for all shavers. I preordered this for my 1290X.

I have no clue, since I never had the older model. When you say "shave" do you mean like a bowling ball, or just a close crop. I use it to trim my full beard, but I see no reason why the attachments can't be used to give a "crew cut". But, it will not trim down to the scalp. Only a safely razor can do that.

I assume it will work just fine. My PhNorelco 3100 works wonders on my face. I'm one to believe the human face has more contours than a head, therefore I would say the 3500 Will work nicely. I speak with no head shaving experience as I enjoy my flowing locks. My son is off to collage with my 3100. I have ordered the 3500 as replacement. Good shaving.
