5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent hair clipper for home or professional use., April 22, 2008

An impressive hair clipper in every sense.

I purchased this cutter (for home use) after some discussion with a person who had some experience with 'Wahl' hair cutting products; I was not disappointed with my decision.

The unit comes with a clip guard, blade oil, a comb and six different cutting guides (ranging from 1/8 to 1 inch). This is a corded unit and requires a wall outlet that will accept one normal width and one wide prong plug.

The pros:

1.)This clipper has a heavy, secure feeling in your hand; it really feels solid and well made.

2.)The cutting guides give a nice solid 'click' when applied to the blades, giving the impression that they are securely on.

3.)Noise was not an issue for me (as opposed to the person who reviewed this product before me). I felt the unit produced a substantial, but not terribly annoying, hum.

4.But most importantly, this unit gave a smooth, even cut; plus, there was no pulling of hair despite my attempts to push the blades through my hair fairly fast (to see how well it would perform when used quickly). The blades cut my hair without the slightest hesitation, nor was there any sense of laboring from the motor itself.

Conclusion:
An excellent hair cutting product for either professional or home use. It is reasonably priced and to date, has matched, if not exceeded my expectations. 5 Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money., September 10, 2009

I had purchased these same clippers several years ago at a much higher price, unfortunately I had dropped them one to many times and was forced to purchase another one. I couldn't believe that I was able to find the same one, the Wahl Designer Professional Clippers for a fraction of the cost. These clippers worked great and probably would still be going strong if it wasn't for my carelessness.
So would I buy the same ones again? I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for home cutting., March 9, 2011

To paraphrase the Secret deodorant slogan, "Strong enough for the professional barber, made for the novice." Seriously, this clipper is probably the best you can find in terms of value, performance, and longevity if you cut your own hair at home. It irks me when I hear the same old "i used to buy the cheap 25 dollar pair of walmart clippers; this is way better." Of course it is. These are PROFESSIONAL clippers, but I find them best suited for consumers who cut their own hair. the reason being is that, for the professional barber, there are clippers better suited for their specific needs. Those clippers also happen to be a lot more expensive and, for the most part, a bit overkill for a consumer who uses a clipper all but a few times a month at most. The Wahl Designer is inexpensive (34.99-49.99), handles great, lasts much longer than consumer-grade clippers, and comes with clipper combs (most pro clippers don't). I definitely recommend this product. Oh, and if you purchase this and you hear a clattering sound when you turn it on, don't return it. It's not defective. you have to turn the screw on the side until the noise stops.
