does the job for me [SEP] i use this clipper with no combs ie bald settingsi have been using hair clippers for a few years now on a weekly basis i have come to the america recently and i must say that this is the best one i have seen so far in the america that is cordless i used to have a panasonic cordless clipper on european voltage that was much better but here this is the best one i have tried two others have been returned a few points charging time is long and there is no indication when the clipper is fully charged power level is good although it tends to decrease already on the or use if not charged this is not so great comparing to my previous one which lasted at least uses before charged this is a minor issue though because when it is to weak it can be used as a corded device cleaning is simple and the detachable knife is a nice feature if you do not use the combs the knife is not as close as i would want however this is again a minor issueif you are like me looking for a cordless clipper so you can easily and safely cut your hair in the shower this is a very good option at a reasonable price after some bad experience with a leading american brand i find this a very good clipper
