Rank #8 in Best Hair Clippers 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Numbers Disagree
BaByliss XTP 7475DU Cordless Hair Clipper, 85-Minute Runtime
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BaByliss XTP Hair Clipper, model 7475DU, is number eight in this guide and one of the dearer sets in it at £50.00. It is a rechargeable clipper built around Japanese steel blades and a lithium-ion battery that the listing says gives up to 85 minutes of cutting from a two-hour charge, with a 30-minute quick charge covering 30 minutes of use when you are short of time. It carries a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 1,817 ratings, and the breakdown on the page is 76 per cent five-star against three one-star ratings.
Where this listing disagrees with itself is the cutting lengths. The product name sells "45 Cutting Lengths, Grade 1-8", while a bullet in the same listing says "8 CUTTING LENGTHS (GRADES 1-8)". The specification table does not settle it: it records a maximum cutting length of 1 inch and mentions no number of 45 anywhere. The table also calls the power source "Battery Powered" and lists cordless as the special feature, while the first bullet describes the same clipper as "high-powered mains or cordless". The runtime claim, at least, is consistent — the name and the battery bullet both say 85 minutes. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as published; we have not handled the clipper, cut hair with it or measured its battery.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I purchased one of these at the start of 'Lockdown' and it proved to amazing so when the battery started to show signs of aging I was happy to order the same again. I comes in a case with all the usual spacers and the steel cutters are of really good quality and stay sharp. I'd happily recommend these clippers.”
Verified purchase“Excellent haiir/beard trimmer. Long battery use. This is my third one, each last about 3 years. So much cheaper than going to the Barbers.”
