I was looking to replace my old Philips hair clippers. I found these for $74 at Harvey Norman, with Philips doing a $20 cashback until 24 December.
Free pickup in store, or $5.95 shipping to many locations.
It looks like Catch.com has them for $77, eligible for cashback too if that's your thing.

I'm onto my third pair of Philips clippers. The only thing that dies eventually on me is the battery. I tend to use them once a week though.
They're much quieter too than the other big, heavy one from competitors. Having said that, they don't cut as quickly as heavier Wahl-type ones, so you don't want to speed through your hair or you might regret it.
Are these any good to cut kids hair once a month.
Honestly, I use these on my chest and general grooming. I would assume from my usage that these should be fine on childrens hair. That being said, my opinion is not very informed on the matter. For instance, u/kumquat below has indicated otherwise.
if they are good enough for this guys balls they are good enough for a kids head
I've been using different Philips hair clippers for years. My last pair died (the battery is dead) and so I borrowed a pair of the heavy barber-shop style ones. Those were much louder, but also cut much more quickly than my Philips ones. I didn't have to deliberately go slower so as not to pull on the hair - these other ones cut quickly through the thick hair despite the speed.
So it's a trade-off, the Philips are quiet and light, but slightly slower.
Thanks. Which one was that barber shop style model.

I've been using this for my 5 year old, its ideal since its cordless, relatively silent most importantly low vibration

Didn't like these Philips clippers at all. Didn't cut very quick, hair always got stuck. Gave mine to my dad and went back to the Philips QC rotating series
Sounds like a perfect chance to use the $50 gift card from HN's early Google Home deal.
How does the HN cashback work?
these are pretty good. sharp and close
Have the same pair. Used it for a year and has no signs of wear. Albeit I use it about once a month.
Great for the price point.
