    Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

    Many years ago, twice in my life I held clippers in my hands and cut two people's hair. Their machines, sheared at their own request. This is where my experience with cars ended))) During the period of self-isolation, for about two months I was pretty overgrown, but the hairdressers were still closed and I decided to buy myself a typewriter. First I chose a household one, showed it to my hairdresser, sort of consulted. But hairdresser Nazira said that she would have chosen a more professional…

    Pros
    • The machine is professional, with excellent knives, with several nozzles of different lengths. Comfortably lies in the hand. Looks very good. Made with high quality . well, in any case, that's the impression it gives, but I think that's exactly how it really is. Tips with rounded teeth to move smoothly over the head. But on a pair of nozzles in the places of rounding, there seemed to be small burrs made of plastic. Apparently, when they are cast, such protruding thin surpluses of plastic, less than a millimeter, remain. But I don’t even attribute this to shortcomings, I felt that they scratched my head a little, well, just a little . I took a nail file and very carefully polished each tooth two or three times with this file. And that's it. And they polished off. Just pram here two or three times along the tooth - whack-whack-whack and it's ready, and it became very smooth. And all other nozzles have already been polished, I did not touch them in terms of grinding.
    Cons
    • I did not find any shortcomings. Perhaps they don't exist at all. Someone refers to the disadvantages of a sharp start of the engine, excessive noise and vibration. But a sharp start - it turns out this is a type of engine that turns on just like that: not smoothly, does not pick up speed gradually, but sharply, immediately. The fact that the machine makes a certain noise . well, it cannot be completely silent. Well, what vibrates . well, yes, there is some kind of vibration, but I do not consider all this to be shortcomings.

    Good product, not disappointed.

    Some pros: It fits comfortably in the hand, a sharp knife, the noise is within the normal range, a long cord, a lot of high-quality attachments. Has cons: The decorative bar dangles, a small vial of oil, there is no extra knife in the kit, the price is high, the knife block is not quick-release.

    I like it, thanks for the quality product.

    I chose a gift for my husband for a long time, read reviews. Many familiar barbers have cars of this company, everyone is happy. Minus a star for the promised gift-comb(((remained hanging in the basket, I thought it might be a glitch, but nothing came. I made a second order, I thought it might pass now, but no. I left hanging in the basket already for the money! Ugly (((

    Pros
    • Almost silent, cuts well, the husband is satisfied.
    Cons
    • Until we notice, we will test.

    One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

    I work in a barbershop, I got used to the wheelbarrow with a bang, the vibration is quite acceptable, it’s comfortable to work. Good cut. The advantage is the bundle, premium nozzles cost 3500-4000 separately, but here everything is already inside. I also want to note the 4m wire, it is very comfortable to work. It is safe to say that this car is one of the best (if not the best) among wired cars. The name speaks for itself. The legend is the legend. All smoky fades!

    • professional motor

    Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

    Hero is a great trimer, I'm happy with everything. But the Legend, for which the set was bought, was never used. It has been in a branded bag for the second year. I think that I will just buy some other Moser/Wahl machine up to 5 thousand, because there are no hopes for my Legend for a long time. Has some pros Price (Bought in Texas as a Wahl combo for 7400 recalculated) Cons below: Difficulty of setting. Unlike Hero, which I use about 3 times a week, Legend has still not been able to set it…

    My first Val and it doesn't have 5 or 7 guards.

    I'm a hairdresser with 17 years experience, this is my first choice. I've always used an Oyster 76, but now I need an extra clipper to mix open and closed lever transitions. take her . The machine cuts hair quickly and smoothly, makes no noise. This is a decent clipper and overall a good buy.

    Pros
    • Great for me
    Cons
    • Not sure

    Basically good. A metal lever would be better

    Product very similar to other clippers; same weight, cuts well (a guard (1.5″) keeps slipping out and never fits right away). Protective cases all work, but should be made of thicker and better plastic. The main disadvantage is the blade adjustment lever. be metal IMHO, not plastic. The plastic is thin and feels thin. For a clipper in this price range, the lever needs to be a lot stronger - at least use a stronger plastic! It hasn't broken yet, but it flexes and you can tell it's a cheap…

    • Few competitors
    Cons
    • Not trendy

    Worst Clipper Legs

    I waited to use this clipper until the rush for the new clipper was over after the busiest time of the year. Right out of the box, this clipper rips every boy's hair that I cut before the first cut. I've never had any problems with other shafts I've used. It sounds like they rake rather than cut clean smooth. I've oiled them, cleaned them, and run them slower than usual to try and relieve the tension, but they still do. I am very disappointed and will never spend money on it again.

    Pros
    • Value for money
    Cons
    • A little wrinkled

    Cool clipper. â Hair Clippers

    I bought these to trim my son's hair and they did not disappoint. I have 5 star hair loss devices and they are great for my weekly male pattern balding treatment. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the cutting blade was hanging over the bottom guard right out of its undamaged packaging. So I had to spend time adjusting them so they don't get in the way of my 7 year old. I wasn't expecting to see this on faded hair clippers. But once set up, they cut like ass. Great machines…

    Pros
    • Heavy Duty Construction
    Cons
    • For Seniors

    Great hair clipper

    Like most people I wouldn't have bought them at all if the hair salon hadn't closed; I just couldn't look at the Ragamuffin anymore. These are professional clippers similar to Joe the Barber who has used my hair for many years. Unlike others, mine arrived perfectly adjusted and perfectly clean. I was surprised to find that the rails that came with them weren't the cheaper plastic ones, but had 8 heavy-duty metal brackets. They cut well, don't snag and don't overheat, although my beginner…

    Pros
    • Stylish and modern design
    Cons
    • unreliable

    VERY HAPPY WITH IT!

    WOW I will never buy a razor again this thing is so cool! I'm very impressed, should have bought it a long time ago. I recently made the mistake of buying a fast food Easter and was so disappointed that the button seemed so cheap and it was loud and clumsy and instantly shorted out my outlet but this choice is just amazing and it wasn't as strong as the crappy oster I got before he came back. THIS VAL IS WORTH THE MONEY! When you turn it on, you can feel that it is an excellent quality…

    Pros
    • Free for educational purposes
    Cons
    • Almost never

    Amazing Fade Hair Clipper

    Amazing Fade Hair Clipper! I only use them for fading as the blade is made for that. I'm a military barber and get a lot of haircuts every day and a lot of them go away so getting the perfect color was easier and quicker. I look forward to using this hair clipper for a long time.

    Pros
    • Useful for more than it's intended purpose
    Cons

    The Best Hair Clipper

    Well I have used Wahl clippers on myself and my pets for decades. You never disappoint me. My previous personal clippers were, at best, a $20 set from Walmart over a decade ago. Still works hard and clamps smoothly. I just wanted the 5 star version with the V9000 engine. I have to say the motor runs very smoothly and the scissors cut like clockwork. I had to install the blade when I received the device. If you've ever done this, you know that to secure the blade at the point you want to adjust…

    Pros
    • Absolutely Amazing!
    Cons
    • ill thought out

    Blades rust after first use despite lubrication

    After first use, second time I wanted to use this clipper I had to run to the store to buy another clipper because this one has accumulated rust despite being oiled after first use. At first I thought I might have forgotten to add the oil after the first use, but I found that the stainless part of the blade was still oily and I had a drop of oil in the box holding it. i will return it Either the blades are poorly made or the lubricating oil is not good enough. The previous Wahl product has…
