This clipper should be considered disposable. We used it for three haircuts on normal boys' hair, and now it just pulls the hair and hardly cuts at all. It is supposed to be lubed-for-life, so I haven't added oil, although I am going to try that. I won't buy Remington again. The problem now is, even if they work at the beginning of a haircut, we don't trust that they'll finish the job, and cutting boys' hair is such a big undertaking at our house, we hardly look forward to getting the job half-done and then heading back to the store for another clipper to finish it. I wish I had saved the packaging - I would return these to the store where I bought them. Remington guarantees them for 5 years, but shipping them to Remington for repare or replacement would likely cost me more than the clippers cost. I'm completely unimpressed.

I really like my Remington HC-912. I don't have to oil it and the blades have an 1/8" adjustment without having to use the accessories. I have not had any of the problems that the other reviewers had. Cuts my hair fast, accurate and clean. Can do my whole head in about 5 minutes by myself. I had it a year and use it every 2 weeks without any problems. Great price. Buy one!

This thing is awful. The blades are so dull, they couldn't cut a fart. I've used it twice and it just pulls on the hair while it barely cuts. You definitely get what you pay for and that's JUNK!

This is an excellent scalp massager...what's that? There clippers? hahaha...huh? Oh you're serious?

I have to say these are complete garbage. It took me an hour to end up with a worse job then my 10 year old clippers do in 20 min. It cuts almost as much hair as it pulls out, and you have to go very slow or plug it up. Granted I have very thick hair, so someone with only a few strands may find this a good deal. I however am going to try and exchange them for and old rusted knife to finish the job.

I've used this clipper set to cut my husband's for a couple of years with success, but over time all of the comb attachments have broken. Cheaply designed plastic parts. This kit is billed as an at-home set, not for professionals. I'm not a pro and needed those combs to get the right cut. So having all of them break has rendered the entire set useless. No sense trying to replace the combs at Remington; they don't appear to carry parts anymore for this model. The parts and shipping are so expensive, I might as well buy a whole new set. Disappointed in cheap, plastic-y junk.

I just recieved this set today. I have three fraternity brothers who all own a set. They got used by almost every brother, for shaving beards or heads. Cheapest way to get a haircut when your a college student. Just get one of the other guys to help you shave it. It's easy enough. Some guys even used it to grow mohawks(that's a personal choice, not mine) and it looked good. Since I just graduated, I decided to buy my own. Can't beat the price. I don't know what these other reviewers are doing wrong, but I've used them a bunch of times with no problems, and I have thick hair.

Edit: I've now had these clippers for 4 months and use them regularly about once every 2-3 weeks. Still have had absolutely no problems with them. I've actually been cutting my own hair with two mirrors and still have no problems. I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews, this is a great product. If you don't like the 1/2 inch attachment, try one of the other ones. I use the second smallest attachment and works great for me. Best of Luck!
