Rank #2 in Best Hair Clippers 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Numbers Disagree
Remington QuickCut HC4250 Hair Clippers, 40-Minute Runtime
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Remington QuickCut HC4250 is the number 2 pick in this guide, at £32.00, with a 4.4-star average from 14,804 ratings. It is a cordless, waterproof clipper with a curved blade, nine fixed combs running from 1.5 mm to 15 mm, and a lithium battery the listing rates at 40 minutes of use.
What stands out on this ficha is that the numbers that matter agree with each other. The product name says "40-Minute Use", the bullet says "Lithium powered 40 minutes run time", and the comb range in the item highlight (1.5–15 mm) matches the nine combs spelled out in the bullet below it. That is not true of every listing in this guide. Where this ficha does wobble is in the fields that look hand-filled: Included Components names only a cleaning brush, even though the model name promises a storage pouch and the bullets promise nine combs; the special features field lists USB charging and an LCD display that no bullet or spec elsewhere mentions; and the waterproof claim is questioned by a buyer who says the pack's instructions conflict with it. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Great set of hair clippers. Super smooth exta quiet and it dose your hair in half the time of a flat blade. Yep the bend in the blade really dose work better. Comfortable in the hand, nice weight. Advertised as waterproof but conflicting instructions on pack raises doubts. Otherwise the perfect hair clippers.”
Verified purchase“It does what it says on the box making it easy to do single using one hand only but another person can help if required. The battery lifetime between charges is excellent. The use of clipper oil (bought separately) is recommended as a small bottle will last for the lifetime of the clippers!”

Questions people ask
How long does the Remington QuickCut HC4250 run on a charge?
The listing gives a "Lithium powered 40 minutes run time" in the bullets, and "40-Minute Use" is also in the product name itself.
How many combs come with the Remington QuickCut HC4250?
Nine fixed combs — 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mm — as listed in the bullets and in the product name.
Is the Remington QuickCut HC4250 waterproof?
The specification table says Is Waterproof: True and the item highlight calls it "Waterproof Cordless Clippers". One buyer, however, reports that conflicting instructions on the pack raise doubts about that claim.
What is in the box with the Remington QuickCut HC4250?
The bullets list nine fixed combs and the model name mentions a storage pouch, but the Included Components field names only a cleaning brush. The listing does not agree with itself here.
How long does it take to charge?
The listing says only "Quick charge" and gives no charging time in minutes, so there is no figure to compare with the 40 minutes of use.
How is the Remington QuickCut HC4250 rated by buyers?
4.4 out of 5 from 14,804 ratings, with 73 per cent of those ratings at five stars and 15 per cent at four stars.
