Blades – The stainless steel blades and their width are not as wide as standard hair clippers, with a width of 41 mm. Phillips states the blades are self-sharpening. Rotating Head – The rotating head is one of the main features that makes this hair clipper different from others. Users can move the head around on four different settings to suit the angle they wish to cut at. Cordless/Corded – Can be used with its cord or cordless. Not to be used corded near water for obvious safety reasons. Charging and Battery – It takes an hour to charge for a full charge, and an indicator that shows the battery light glowing white when it’s full and then it blinks orange when 10 minutes remain. Users get up to 60 minutes of runtime from a full charge. Handle/Body – The QC5570 is a palm-held device with a shorter but wider handle and body than standard hair clippers. The whole hand needs to hold onto the whole body when cutting.

Combs and settings– Two combs come with the Philips that can be adjusted with a dial. The precision comb cuts from 1 mm to 3 mm, and the larger comb cuts from 3 to 15mm. A total of 13 length settings.
