These are quite good, but worth bearing in mind that (if it's like the other philips one I've used (looks identical) - the numbers on the guards apparently mean nothing other than relative length within that guard.
Don't for example get used to using a 7 on one of the guard combs, then swap in the other guard by mistake and assume that 7 will be the same. You could end up cutting off more than you expect.
I don't know why this is, but I have made that mistake before and cut off too much beard. This one may not be the same but worth taking care.

Do these actually cut hair (on the top of your head!!) well? I've bought a few clipper sets recently and they're all rubbish - cut beards really well, but can't seem to manage normal fine hair (on your head!) - you have to go over the same bit 10 times, and even then its uneven.

I think I'd rather pay £7 more for this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OCG0DO6?psc=1
Reviews seem decent on this one.
