Review on Oster 616-91 clipping machine, black by Agata Sikora ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I have been working with the modification of this machine for over 20 years. Owned five of these cars for the entire period. Therefore, I will give recommendations to those who want to work with them for the same long time. 1) Try to use the edging knife strictly for its intended purpose. only do the edging. Ironically, the "wise" Oster engineers decided to attach the attachments to the edging knife. This was a big mistake. Oster's steel is super strong, but with all this, a knife can be killed in 1 year if you remove the mass. 2) Heard a lot of complaints that the machine stopped working after 3/5/12/30 months. It's impossible! Oster can only be killed by dropping it into a bucket of water. And the reason is simple - the switch. This is a weak link in this model: either soot on the contacts or clogged with hair. Dismantled (carefully), cleaned and earned. I guarantee! 3) If you work professionally with a wheelbarrow for 2-3 years, it will certainly fray and close the cord just above the cable entry. This is the second weak link. That's not fatal. Here: either a handy man or a service to help you) 4) And the last thing: do not drop, lubricate and clean once a day.

Pros
  • Quiet. Powerful. Durable.
Cons
  • Fragile. (About the rest of the sores in the comments)
