These clippers work well when you push the turbo button, but I don't understand why it's there. Why don't they just run in 'turbo' all the time. It's kind of awkward when cutting your own hair to push this button and get all the sides of your head.

They are pretty cheap, and I've done about a dozen haircuts with them, but I am looking for a different brand this time. The button just doesn't make sense. You have to hold the button down the whole time you cut your hair.

Pros:
1. Inexpensive for reasonably good durability - there are sub-10$ kits with toy-like combs!
2. Easy cleaning of the blades - secret: use a vacuum cleaner on the sides - that unused attachment you have been saving just for this purpose!
3. Easy to do the front and head-sides yourself!
4. The turbo mode is more powerful, but I have found better cutting with slow, steady strokes in the normal ON mode.
5. Savings - NOT thousands or hundreds of dollars for me. I used to go to a saloon every 2 months, now I need to go just twice a year for the mandatory professional sculpting (once every 3 times of self cutting). Around [...] bucks in savings per year for me.

Cons:
1. Wired - but were you expecting a rechargeable cordless at this price?
2. Not advisable to try doing the back of the head yourself. You will need someone for 5 minutes to do the back and for getting a uniform neckline. If you want a pure-self-cut-kit and short hair, get the Remington Short Cut Rechargeable Clipper - self cuts everywhere beautifully.
3. Don't expect professional cuts if you are the not-so-patient type or have real dense hair. I have moderately-dense, 1.5 inch hair that I trim down to 0.5 inches and this Conair is perfect for me.
4. You will need to take off the blades for cleaning about every 3 times of cutting. It is simple to oil, realign and put back the blades.

I have used quite a few different brands of hair clippers and this is probably my favorite so far. What makes this pair of clippers a little better is the turbo power. It does have a little more power than all of the other clippers that I have tried.

Does a good job but tends to clog easy. Have to take it apart to clean too often.

This is the second haircut set i've owned, and so far its paid for itself in saved trips to the barber ..
I have short curly afro-caribbean hair , and use the trimmer to trim myself (with 2 mirrors), and maintain a low, even, easy to brush cut (so i dont really use the styling clips) ..

Item was out of stock when i first wanted it, but it was well worth the wait. Great delivery and everything

I have the very similar Conair HC275R. It's worked perfectly for 8 years. Then it needed some adjustment. Easy, because the owner manual instructions were clear. It seems very well made. Cutting hair is not that hard. I've saved over $ 2,000 on haircuts.

We have used these clippers four times now and have had no problems, we never had to use the turbo mode and the attachments are great. And most importantly the clippers are reasonably quite, just a soft hum.

A great value!

i used reminghton,wahl and many other random brands to get a army hair cut.They had fancy design but output wasn`t much.I always saw this trimmer at my barber place but never knew its name or brand.once i start using it i felt its the same trimmer used by barber so i inquired her on my next visit and been told they use same brand and are quite heavy duty and highly recommened.so if you want professional looking hair cut, its the brand to pick.Free Trimmer that comes along with it is excellant and perfect for french cut along with shaping beard.All trimmer need is a single AA battery.
There are other conair brands too .They differ in size,color,packing .All are basically same with different pieces to get different hair lenght of hair cut.

I bought this item so that I could start saving money and time by giving myself haircuts at home. I was impressed with how many things the kit came with. It's a great value for the price. The trimmer is metal and very sturdy, and the attachments are plastic and also very tough. The scissors were a little tricky to use on myself, but with some work I figured them out. They're also plenty sharp. haha
Overall the kit is a great deal. The plastic storage case is also very useful for keeping things under the sink while not in use.

This product is junk dont waste your money I ended up throwing it away

Do yourself a favor Spend about $60 on a good pair of Andis or similiar
