(More customer reviews)Since there's no need to talk about how much money you can save by cutting your own hair (or having someone cut it for you), let's cut to the chase...
I don't even remember the last time I went to a barber shop. I've always had my hair cut by my mother and now, for the past 5-years, my girlfriend. This review will not be from a professional stand-point, so please keep that in mind. I also don't use the tools so my review is based on what I've experienced on the receiving end and comments by the two people above.
Before I get started, let me just say that in my weeks of research I've learned that the difference between high-end and low-end models of professional clippers is noise, how cool they stay and motor power/rpm (all should have swappable blades). Besides various attachments, which are practically the same with all trimmers, that's the difference you're paying for in price. Now that I've explained the professional clippers, I just want to say that all of my previous experience was with cheapo "home" versions. The "home" clipper are cheaper, come with more pieces/accessories but they also don't last as long, feel cheap, sometimes they rip out hair and don't cut as quickly.
We've had Oster professional clippers for our dog for about 8-years now that are phenomenal, but they also cost almost $200. After going through so many home versions of clippers, we've finally decided to get professional quality clippers based on experience with the aforementioned model. Our budget was approximately $50 for clippers only. We were pleasantly surprised when we got clippers and trimmer for that price, of quality we were happy with.
These Andis clippers are definitely the best buy we've made thus far. They cut very quickly, so my cut time was shaved by at least 5-minutes. Even going at faster speeds I never felt like my hairs were being pulled. The trimmer/edger on the other hand, although it did a great job of the neck-line is a bit wide for edging around the ears. Scissors still had to be used for that. However my girlfriend liked this Andis Professional combination over everything we've used previously. We kept the trimmer for the neck.
Pros:
- Professional quality w/fast & powerful motor
- Should hopefully last much longer than our older "home" versions
- Makes short time of clipping (no hair pulling!)
- Trimmer does a great job with the neck and sideburns edging
- Clipper has a great "feel" in small and large hands
- 1/16th to 1" attachments
Cons:
- Clippers are slightly loud (no biggie though)
- Edger is too wide for edging around ears
- No taper (side/fade) attachment for clipper or trimmer
The reason I gave a 4-star review is because of the few shortcomings that I listed in the cons (I'd give 4.5 if available). However, having said that, you'd be very hard pressed to find a better clipper/trimmer combination. If you don't think tapers are very important (or willing to get them separately) and if you're willing to edge around the ears by hand, then this is the best combination that I've been able to find for the price. This is definitely a quality product. I highly recommend it.
