This was my 3rd pair of clippers I ordered off of Amazon (I returned the other 2). I decided to pay a bit more and get this one.
Pros:
- Cuts well with minimal 'pull'
- Decently strong motor
Cons:
- The clip on levels are trash. You might as well throw them out. Included are a 1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm and then 6,7,8,9.....WHY NOT INCLUDE A 1 AND 2 ?!????
Most people cut their hair short with these...I really do not understand why they would give you a 9 and not a 2. I had to purchase a package of levels separately to compensate.
Have one to sell?

How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The machine cuts ok. I bought this machine as I was relocating and finding a barber to cut my hair will be an issue. The blade came with rust on them. Opened it two days ago to use and was so disappointed. And am so far to returned or even order replacement places will cost me over $50 for shipping..

After a little over a year, this clipper became terribly misaligned (we never dropped it or anything) and the mobile blades started overlapping the fixed ones.
This means that on the shortest setting, it would scrape the skin terribly, and unfortunately blood was spilt.
It's also very heavy and the vibrations make your wrist go numb after just a couple minutes, unlike smoother models we've had in the past.
We were super disappointed since this was supposed to last years.

Awesome!
This is the second time I've bought this (because I lost the first set)
It feels like a professional clipper, but at a recreational price.
It has good weight to it, and is durable (has even been dropped a few times)
The adjustment level is a key feature, and works well.
I'm sure I'll have this for many years too!
Some of the plastic guides it comes with aren't the best -- I would recommend getting the premium set if you're serious

I have only ever owned the cheaper Wahl's, Conair's and other brands sold at big box stores, but these are easily the best I have ever owned.
+ Zero gap possible
+ Good price
+ Reasonably light weight
+ Great motor (Fast and powerful)
+ No louder than anything I have previously owned
+ Versatile STD blade included
+ Looks good
+ Extremely fast free shipped from Amazon!
- Plastic top body cover seems like it may crack if dropped (Mine is still perfect after 10+ cuts and never been dropped)
My haircuts went from 30 min to 15 min.. However this is partly due to a 10 year old dull blade rather than the cutter itself.
I would definitely recommend!

Shipped without all the heads. Supposed to include 8 shown on the box, only came with 2. Be careful purchasing from this seller.

Product did not come with all the sizing heads shown in listing. Said 1-5 but only came with 2. Now I have to order a set and hope it is compatible and that it arrives before birthday. ANNOYING.

These clippers are very sharp and cut hair very cleanly. The variety of guides make it easy for you to cut your own hair at home evenly and look like you had a professional haircut. They are a bit heavy but that is due to the high quality construction and motor. Good instructions for cleaning and lubrication.
