Review on πŸ’‡ Sminiker Professional Hair Clippers: Cordless Barber Shavers Kit with Accessories for Effortless Hair Cutting by Tamara Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Low price, low quality

I'm not sure what clippers other people have compared, but compared to a pair of Wahl $20 Color Pros, this model is a bit lacking in quality and performance. The wireless design and battery life seems good, the two batteries are the reason I chose this one, but as expected, the performance is significantly lower compared to wireless cars. The main concerns I have are quality and accuracy. This device is the epitome of cheap "Made in China" products, it claims to be "professional" but I doubt a reputable hairdresser will ever use it. The plastic looks and feels cheap, the plastic "chrome" adjuster ring on the base looks crappy and has obvious molding stitching. The ring and power button look and feel like cheap parts, so we'll see how long they last. The combs are very inaccurate in height, and the device itself has a built-in 0.8mm minimum spacing that doesn't seem to have been accounted for. because with combs, in addition to the combs already sitting freely on the cutting head with a small gap between the blades, the 3mm comb actually cuts approx are used to using a real 3mm comb. If you shave your head regularly like I do, it becomes apparent that after a haircut your hair grows 30% longer than usual. When I first use this with a 3mm comb it gets very patchy with messy hair and doesn't give a uniform look. After that, when I use my pick, it picks up whatever was left out and makes the look cleaner. I will say they are very quiet compared to all other clippers I have tried including other uncoordinated models and the included clipper seems decent. My manufacturer's photos are a bit misleading, I received a gray color and a fixed blade. Brass color, and the moveable blade is white ceramic. It seems to trim well compared to other cordless trimmers, not sure how the materials will hold up, seems to get quite warm during use. I'm not sure if the convenience of a wireless connection is due to the poor performance. I love the dual batteries but the charger leaves a lot to be desired and the fact that it doesn't come with a carrying case for all the parts is annoying. I don't know if I'll leave it at that, I've found that I just don't use the 3mm comb and set the blade to the maximum to actually get a decent cut that's closer to the 3mm, which I would like, but without this the comb. tends to pull and snag hair. Overall not impressed but not so disappointed that I would send it back. Bye.
