Hatteker Hair Clipper and Beard Trimmer
The Hatteker Hair Clipper and Beard Trimmer RFC-690 is a high quality advanced hair clipper system. That said, can it really get you that professional haircut that you’ve come to expect? And most importantly, does this Hatteker RFC-690 have what it takes to cut through my thick hair and beard with power and precision?
Still in Quarantine… An at Home Trimming Option
Now, as we adjust to a modified way of living during these difficult times, we find that the barber shops may not be the most comfortable option. Especially, if a trusted member of the family is ready to wield their hair cutting skills or we build up the courage to trim our hair ourselves.
And believe me, it takes courage to cut your own hair. I know many barbers who won’t dare trim their own hair. The thoughts of misadventures one can have handling a trimmer are enough to make them never try.
But the good news is, if you do decide to take the plunge, you’re not alone. Feel good knowing we’re all in this together, learning a new hair cutting skill, and building confidence in our new found abilities we’ve brought to the surface. Is the Hatteker RFC-690 the tool to help you along the way?
Hatteker – A Household Name?
So, while the Hatteker brand may not be a household name, they’ve slowly grown their presence on Amazon. Thus, a variety of top rated hair cutting and hair care products ranging from hair clippers and beard trimmers to shavers for both men and women are now available.
In fact, Hatteker touts the RFC-690 rechargeable hair clipper and beard trimmer for its self-sharpening ceramic blade that can cut through any hair type. Accordingly, this Hatteker RFC-690 haircutting device seems to stick to its claims, holding and impressive a 4.5 out of 5 star review rating.
Hatteker RFC-690 Specs
Accompanying the Hatteker hair clipper base unit is an approximately 38mm ceramic blade paired with a titanium plated stationary blade. This serves as your primary cutting device and can easily be removed for cleaning with the push of your thumb.
Furthermore, six guide combs (lengths 3mm, 4mm-6mm, 7mm-9mm, 10mm-12mm, 16-18mm and 22-24mm) accompany the hair clipper base. These guards attach to the hair clipper by sliding the pins of each guard into the holes on each side of the clipper.
Additionally, the Hatteker RFC690 includes a hair thinner guide comb, which can double as a protective cutting blade guard. A stand base, charger with usb connection, comb, cleaning brush and blade lubricating oil round out the list.
Moreover, at the middle of this Hatteker trimmer, you’ll find an integrated blade adjustment capability. This allows you to maneuver your blade cutting length between 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm. Hence, this range of adjustments imitates the use of a taper lever most are accustom to seeing on a pair of hair clippers. This allows for the achievement of a wide range of haircut and beard trim lengths.
LCD Display
Moving down the Hatteker RFC690 hair clipper, we see a power button, which works alongside an LCD display.
Hit the power button once, and the hair clipper turns on while displaying your current battery capacity as a percentage.
To put the hair clipper into travel lock mode, simply hold down the power button for 4-5 seconds and the blue lock button will display in the bottom right corner.
To remove the travel lock, hold the power button for 4-5 seconds once more. The trimmer will resume its normal operation. Do note, that when the charger is connected, the travel lock is automatically connected.
Battery Life
As far as battery life, this Hatteker RFC-690 trimmer includes a lithium-ion battery and requires 90 minutes of charge time for 2.5 hours of cordless use.
While the Hatteker RFC-690 does include USB charging capability in addition to wall charging, it unfortunately can only be used cordless and will not operate while plugged in.
Additionally it feels like an opportunity was missed with the stand base, as this Hatteker hair clipper cannot be charged while sitting in the stand.
Cleaning
The Hatteker RFC-690 hair trimmer is 100% water proof and can be clean quick and easy with a rinse under running water.
