Design & Functionality:
The design ensures a result without irritations and with absolute precision even in very difficult areas (special moving titanium X-taper blade, with DLC coating that protects the skin from irritations and high temperature from continuous use). The ergonomic design and slim line, as well as its very light weight, make it a professional machine for use by both right-handed and left-handed users. It has a 50-minute autonomy and special technology to prevent the blade from heating up during continuous and more intensive use.

Very good but it lacks the zero or at least 0.1, 0.2, 0.3. I don't understand why they start from 0.8... and another negative is that it is not washable.
As soon as someone presses the "Power On" button, they immediately understand what machine they are holding in their hands. Powerful, user-friendly, with a magnetic motor of 10,000 RPM in collaboration with X-Taper Titanium Blades, it elevates the user experience! However, no one is perfect...
Positives:
1) Ergonomic, high-quality handle design that relieves rather than tires the hand.
2) Lightweight.
3) Minimal - non-intrusive - noise.
4) Includes a charging base (very important in a professional space).
5) Great consistency - cutting precision (no need to pass over the same spot multiple times to cut).
6) Battery percentage does not affect power and cutting speed.
7) Several length adjustments (either using a scale or without).
8) Does not get stuck in any type of human hair (I loved this).
- With proper maintenance and regular oiling, it will work forever!
Negatives:
1) The circular lever that adjusts the cutting length goes up (0.8 - 2) very easily and smoothly, but when it needs to go down (2 - 0.8) it becomes slightly difficult if your hands are wet.
2) Does not accept Zero Gap in its blades. Only an experienced person can zero it out. *(I do not recommend it for Skin Fades).
3) It could be 20 euros cheaper.
*For friends who work and have more experience with other clipper brands (Wahl, Babyliss Pro, Andis), I want to warn that the cutting guards of Panasonic differ and require practice to get used to. At least, that's what I noticed in myself.
I wanted something good for personal use (I am not a professional), so my opinion won't be very helpful. Nevertheless, I received it today and I am satisfied.. I trust Panasonic for its overall build quality as I have had several experiences with their products. I should also mention that the machine is quiet. I will come back to edit the review ONLY if I encounter any issues :)
Powerful motor, fast to the point where the blades become annoyingly hot and after a while the titanium coating they have comes off, the bottom plate of the clippers can come off or the head latch can break (it always breaks after a while). The plastic parts become like a tractor from the vibrations a few months later. However, it is lightweight and fast, and I have gotten used to it, it also works with the cord. It is not the best, the others are very bad (I have worked with the Wahl, the five-star one with the cord, very heavy and slow but quiet, and the Babyliss Pro Cordless FX862E which was unbelievably slow and very weak). It is overpriced and I am forced to buy it again. (+ one star because it has spare parts, the plastic that breaks costs 7 euros and the head costs 50, so with 60 euros you have a truly new machine without noise, lubricating the blades with oil before use greatly reduces their temperature)
I bought it for my girlfriend who needs it for professional use. She has tried it on me, of course! Her opinion is that it is very well balanced and lighter than what she has used so far. I used it for my beard and it does exactly what it promises with high precision. Simple and easy to clean, although I don't think the battery will last a day in the demands of a hair salon. Of course, you can use it with the connected cable. It may be expensive for individual use, there are certainly cheaper solutions, but it definitely offers top quality!
Very powerful machine with satisfactory autonomy.
A bit expensive but worth the money as a first impression.
I will return with an additional review after a few more months.
Update 23/11/2020
The machine is amazing. It is incredibly precise and powerful with very good cordless autonomy. Just be careful when trimming sensitive areas, make sure to hold it completely horizontal, otherwise it will leave a bad cut :o
Update 29/03/2022
The machine continues to function like new. Same power, same effectiveness in trimming (for household use), slightly less battery autonomy (normal). It's a beast, I continue to highly recommend it.
Update 03/05/2023
Same as last year. The machine is amazing. The blade is still sharp, the battery still holds up very well.
I have changed so far 10 machines from 40€ to 60€. I use the machine for amateur use for legs, chest, and self-haircut. Every two years or less they would break. This time when I decided to cut my hair, the Phillips gave up, so I decided to buy something of better quality and went ahead with the purchase of the Panasonic. Just by holding it, you can understand the quality. From the charger to the plastic combs, it is high quality. Made in Osaka Japan, what else could make you happier.
Attention, this machine has two codes, one ending in HGP82 and one with a larger code. Make sure to get the one with the larger code.
The review is from my wife (a professional hairdresser). The brand never disappoints. Excellent and sturdy machine. Okay, it needs its "greasing" a little more regularly and maybe for someone who works constantly, the waiting time might be a problem, but even for that, it doesn't negate its quality. At 169 euros, we found it to be truly the best in the budget range between 150-200 euros. Recommended.
