After several years of giving myself "buzz-cuts" I decided to go for a quality set of clippers. I had been using one of those kits which included all of the plastic guards etc. which fell in the $30 price range at Target. There is NO comparison. The Oster Classic 76 is the "Cadillac" of clippers. From the moment you turn them on, you can tell by the smoothness and power of the motor that you have stepped up to top quality clippers. They come with a [1] blade and a [000] blade. I purchased a [0000] which is great for real close shaves or fades. I'm confident these will last for years since I'm using them at home and not in a shop. I would definitely buy this brand again !

A professional grade clipper to last a lifetime.
If you're ready to step up from the cheap disposables most people try to get by with, the Classic 76 is worth considering. All of the parts are serviceable and replaceable meaning it will be around for a long time.
That said... these are huge clippers - and whether you can adjust to that or not, the size is still less than ideal. There are other models, from Oster and others, in this same price range that might be more appropriate for the average person.

As a fifteen year vet of the industry, I suppose I have the chops to weigh this pretty decent.
Pros-
Heavy- duty clipper...with proper care, this thing will outlast that car in your driveway...no kidding.
Mows through the thickest, toughest hair effortlessly.
Clipper blades are interchangeable...meaning...if you invest in the metal blades in different sizes, your cuts will be much more polished, fades look immaculate. If you can't do the metal blades, then there are plastic options. Keep in mind they won't cut nearly as clean, but nice for beginners.
Cons-
Heavy duty is great if you have the hand size and the wrist power to use it ALL DAY. I am a woman with small hands and I can't get my fingers all the way around it...thus it can be cumbersome after a while.
The noise...imagine an electric hedge trimmer....seriously. I still get remarks about it at work!
For beginning stylists...beware...it can get away from you fast. Peel and half peel are what it does best...it takes MUCH practice to fine tune your results.
Overall it is a solid piece of professional equipment. A true standard prized by barbers and stylists alike. Enjoy!

I have thick hair, and have been cutting it myself, with store-bought clippers, for years. During a recent use, my clipper choked on the thick hair, and I decided to get a professional clipper, so I bought the Oster Classic 76.
What a difference! As you might expect based on the price, the Oster is in a class above when compared to the clipper kits you buy at the local Rite-Aid or WalMart. It's a quality appliance and seems to be well worth the extra expense for regular clipper users.
So, why 4 stars instead of 5? Two reasons. One, it doesn't come with the numbered plastic combs--you have to purchase them separately. Second, it's on the heavy side and it's a bit cumbersome to use compared to the lighter, cheaper models. I suppose that's the price you pay for quality.

The Oster Classic 76 is the best built clippers I have seen. It is a little heavier than most because the motor is heavy-duty and won't overheat. It cuts better than others. Very good performance on fine hair. The On/Off switch is a little strange, but positioned on the back where it is less likely to be accidentally tripped. Cord length is good. Attachments can be purchased at your local beauty shop. I threw away the box and keep the clipper and parts in a zippered pouch (not included). This is a quality USA-made product (don't buy a China-made clipper!) Care instructions in several languages. This product won't disappoint. Highly recommended.

This clipper is everything that it promises to be and more. I have been using them now about 4 months. Normally my wife is the hair cutter. Her grip isn't as big as mine and has no problem with the weight or holding on to it. It is powerful and cuts clean. It comes with two different blades and they are really easy to interchange.
At the same time I purchase the Oster comb attachments for different styles and lengths. They work like a well matched piece of equiment and recommend those over the generic brand. They are a little more but its your hair and its worth it.
You can even cut your own hair with the tried and trued Classic 76 if no one around to cut it for you. Its really pretty easy. Just make sure you use the attachment combs. It is almost fool proof system (see next paragraph, if the shoe fits I wear it sometimes).
The one thing to watch for, as in my case, if cutting your own hair, after just finishing cutting my hair myself, my wife walks in and of course notices a mohawk line of hair right down the middle of the back of my head I missed. Thank goodness for wives!
Highly recommend. Spend the money! These clippers will last you a life time and pay you back over and over.

With my husband in the military and my son wanting the same haircut as his dad, we've gone through many sets of drug store clippers. The last haircut with those was awful. The clippers were ripping the hair off my son's head. So, I gritted my teeth and paid for these. I don't regret it at all. They are wonderful! I also got the universal comb attachments and I can give my son a great 'High Regulation' haircut with ease! They may seem expensive, but they'll pay for themselves within months!

Broken
It broke after first use. Think it was defected. Not satisified with this purchase at all and I threw out the box not thinking that I would have a problem :(

Wonderful cutter but inferior parts
It fell about less than a foot and the plastic on/off switch broke off easily. Disappointing since this type of clipper is widely used by professional barbers. Read more

Super durable, more than enough to tame my mane
I usually shave my head and wear a +/-3 day beard most of the time. if I let my stubble or hair on my head grow out for more than a week, I'll give it a buzz with these. Read more
