Pro:
Cheap and a good deal of accessories

Con:
CHEAP falls apart

Conclusion:
This thing is a piece of junk. After a couple of times using the large clippers I notice that a great deal of hair would get stuck in and under the blades. I tried cleaning it with the included brushes, didn't work most of the hair was still there. I then used an air compressor at 150 psi which got some of the hair out, but most was still stuck. Puzzled, I opened it up to see how the hair was getting stuck. Much to my amazement Conair used a piece of porous foam in between the bottom blade and the housing. This foam place here acted like a pincushion for the hair. So I put it back together no problems. After a few minutes use the piece of plastic that connected the motor to the blade snapped. I thought it was some thing that I did and bought another one, the exact same model. This second one I decided not to mess with it and just use it leave the hair in the foam. In about six uses that plastic thing broke in the same place. Now I have two broken clippers and noway to scavenge to fix one.

Then theres the battery powered trimmer that tends to pull rather than cut hair.

The trimmer doesn't work at all.....new batteries, nothing......everything else is ok but not pleased with the product at all...

This kit is great for those in between haircut touch-ups. The blades don't pull, they have a nice even feel to them. Plus there are so many different lenghts you can choose from the trimmer works for Summer, Spring, Winter and Fall.

I've had this hair cutting machine since Nov. 28, 2003. This machine was the best one i've ever had. never gave me no problems, and what i like is that it's really light. Thats why i am here trying to purchase the same machine again since i cant find it in stores no more. It recently gave up on me due to electrical issues, but still got the job done. Good hair cutter.

Don't spend any money on this unless you just want the case. Mine went in the trash and I put my 20 year old Oster clippers in the Conair box.

Pros: Box is alright and the two combs haven't broken yet

Cons: Doesn't like to cut hair, broke after two uses, hair clogs the head, the guard will fall off causing you to cut a patch in someones head, the "turbo" button just makes more noise

Final thought: go to a pro or buy pro clippers and make a friend

Pros:
Comes with lots of pieces in a nice case.

Cons:
None of that matter because it doesn't cut hair. It just glides through your hair without actually cutting it. If it gets any significant amount of hair in it's teeth it will lock up and the head will pull off of the trimmer body.

Bottom Line:
Absolute junk. Do not buy this.

My husband bought this item to use on our 2 sons, only for their 'How-to' DVD not to have instructions for black hair. We called the hotline to see if they could help us, only for a lady to say, and i quote "we don't a dvd for ethnic people" - How cool is that?!
