Review on πŸ’‡ Wahl Clipper Elite Pro 79602 – High-Performance Home Haircut & Grooming Kit for Men - Electric Hair Clipper by Blake Burrell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Absolutely the best deal you will find on an at home haircut kit.

I am a hairstylist and would highly recommend the Wahl Pro Set if you are cutting or trimming your child/husband. I bought this set a few days ago just to protect my clippers. This is a new line of "Elite" bits with a metal clip and stronger teeth. They are way better than the guards you will find in any other set. They also have a smoother, ground tooth tip, so there are fewer pinholes. A set of nozzles alone will set you back $35. The hair clipper itself is also good for its price. It's definitely a budget model, but it uses the same magnet motor as the Pro line, although it's most likely the v5000 model, not the v7000 or v9000 model in the Super Taper or Seniors. It has a precision cutting blade that is more forgiving than the surgical/fading blade most barbers use. It also has a significantly better power cord than any other clipper in this price range. As far as I could tell, the cable is the same gauge as my Wahl Seniors. If you brush and oil the blade after each use before leaving it in place, it should honestly last a lifetime for home use. Seniors can enjoy 20 haircuts a day for decades, and this clipper doesn't fall short when it comes to build quality. You usually find yourself wrapping someone in a towel. It comes with a small bottle of oil that should last a home user for a while. All it takes is a few drops of oil, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MACHINE RUNNING ON, to get the oil through the cutting blade. All in all, this is a fantastic home haircut kit and you won't find a better haircut kit at this price point.
