Andis Rechargeable Battery Power Pack for Bgr Clipper 64725 Review

Andis Rechargeable Battery Power Pack for Bgr Clipper 64725
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this as a gift for my barber who has been cutting my hair for years now. She hates cords and this was made for her clippers. She used it everyday all day for about two weeks before it failed to keep a charge like the previous one. Now it just sits on the charger taking up space...paper weight I guess and not even a good one at that (rolls around a lot). Don't waste your money...

Andis Ceramic Edge Blade # 1 1/2 Review

Andis Ceramic Edge Blade # 1 1/2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you like clippers for short (but not too short) hair, this blade is good for that. While Andis makes both half-ceramic and all-steel blades, the half-ceramic blades run cooler, stay sharp, and are much more quiet in operation.
A lot of people consider clippers with interchangeable metal blades to be "pets-only" but I can tell you personally that they work very well on humans! Moreover, these blades have nice rounded corners and are far more comfortable for the scalp than plastic combs on a "standard" clipper blade.
Keeping the blade properly lubricated and limiting the running time as short as possible will ensure that the blade does not get scorching hot.
Having a set of graded cutting lengths allows one to easily achieve a summer "fade" haircut.

This ceramic blade cuts well and stays cool compared to steel blades. This is an important feature when using on pets that can be sensitive during a trim. Excellent product overall.

Andis B & B Universal Comb Set 12995 Review

Andis B and B Universal Comb Set 12995

These combs are made of really good plastic. I was impressed with the initial quality.
Then I tried to put them on, they use a 'spring' type attachment to keep them on. I noticed that the 'spring' part gets stuck often and I have to 'force' it back after use (only on some of the combs)
I'm not sure how long they will last, the 'spring' is very cheap, but does the job. They are the nicest combs I've seen other than the 'spring' issue.

Andis 63965 Ceramic Bgrc Professional Detachable Blade Clipper, Silver Review

Andis 63965 Ceramic Bgrc Professional Detachable Blade Clipper, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a black guy, who loves to style a bald head. My wife say's it's sexy and as for me, it's easy to manage. Problem is, I like to save $40 a month, and do my own shaving. Thus, I've been thru probably ten clippers in the past 7 years. You know, the Walmart and Target brands, that sell for $20. Then they pack the box with the 15 different plastic guards, grease, and combs that you'll never use. What a waste.
Anyway, I bumped into a local barber, and he invited me to his shop, to test-drive a few set of clippers. I tried the Andis BGRC, and fell in love! When you handle the BGRC; you actually conclude three things:
1. they're not a pair of $20 Conair clippers.
2. they're professional grade!
3. this may very well be the last pair of clippers I have to buy!
Now, on to the shaving. What a thrill. When I first turned them on, I got a soft but strong hum, and they don't vibrate the hell out you, like the cheap brands. The BGRC's are smooth! Not noisy or annoying. Anyway, he continued to show me how the Andis interchangeable blade system works, and proceeded to hand me a #000 to try. What a thrill! I instantly fell in love with this trimmer. Lately, I've switched to the #00000 blade, but that's another review. Anyway, here's my take on the Andis BGRC Clipper:
PROS:
1. quality made - professional grade clippers (just ask your barber about Andis)
2. interchangeable blades (no more plastic guards) I also use to trim mustache.
3. cuts thru hair like a mad man with a straight razor!
4. zero maintenance! just oil the blades. (buy the Andis 7 and 1)
5. the 8' cord is thick and durable. plus the cord length is a plus!
6. the BGRC's can be converted to a cordless system. (check adapter pack)
7. quiet and smooth operation. (not noisy like my old clippers)
CONS:
1. None so far. I would mention the cost, but these clippers are worth it.
CONCLUSION:
Do your own research or check with your local barber about the Andis BGRC. Also, I researched that the Oster 76 are of similar or better quailty. I chose the Andis because they're maintenance free and upgradeable to cordless. One thing though; if you already own the Oster 76 or the Andis Turbo 111, their blades will also fit the Andis BGRC. Remember, the BGRC's are professional clippers, so the scaled down consumer version may work just as good for you. However, I highly recommend the Andis BGRC clippers to those who don't mind doing their own thing...........and really want to do it right!

Andis Ceramic Bgrv Variable Speed Clipper Kit #63100 Review

Andis Ceramic Bgrv Variable Speed Clipper Kit #63100
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a new buyer of professional clippers I wanted to know who was better in terms of quality, performance and price. At least that's what we evaluate when we decide to represent other companies products that we resell. Well, the "race" was on between Oster and Andis and from a few beauty and barbering supply places the main feedback was ANDIS ALL THE WAY!!! Well, after reading a few reviews on different varieties of their models I called up Andis to speak with their customer service dept. and was told the Andis BGRv (Model #63100) was their newest model. Also, the main reason why I wanted this model was because of the reviews (of their their similar models) and price. So I decided to call a local distributor where I live in Houston, TX and asked if they could at least match the price (I was even willing to pay the tax - since they were local). But this was my reply: "I am not Walmart and don't match prices. Your welcome for my time..." I guess you can see where that conversion went; especially since he was charging $175.00 PLUS $14.44 for Tax. Uhhhh, no... He didn't even spell "your" correctly, (really it should be spelled - "you're"). But that's not the point. My main issue was lack of customer service as well as price and I didn't receive either one from that person. No worries, with that kind of mindset he'll be out of business soon, especially since businesses are tanking anyway and more (unfortunately) are coming this year...
I decided to contact one of the guys here on Amazon.com and I was expecting the same service. Man, was I WRONG!!! I contacted a couple of resellers and received calls back rather quickly by two different resellers here on Amazon. Although neither one really knew much about the product; it didn't matter because after getting all the info I needed directly from Andis' customer service staff, I realized this was the best unit that was out there for a professional clipper, so I decided to purchase this model from Discounts Jungle. I ordered it for $103.95 + $10.96 for shipping and received it in two days (WOW - that was FAST !!!).
Here's why I chose this clipper:
1) The Motor. The rotary motor is extremely quiet (and I do mean quiet) and has variable speed control (5 speed modes). I usually keep it on the lowest level and it works just fine. I'm sure it's going to extend the life of this powerful motor.
2) The Blades. The variety of blades that can be used on this model are more than any novice or professional could ever ask for, since they sell almost every length of blade you can imagine and can also use other blades from other companies (like Oster 76 model). I've already purchased and used the CeramicEdge (that uses an actual ceramic blade) - luke-warm to the touch and feels nice, and UltraEdge (Stainless Steel blade) - warm to the touch and I can say first hand that both are fine (even cutting hair on children). Not HOT like what found in my prior model that I used before this one (the Remington 22 piece Titanium Coated Haircut Kit Item # HC921 $20.00) that I used for over 7 years straight, before the cord went out on me twice; the first time it went just right after 5 years of owning it and brought it to someone that fixed it for $10.00. Then it lasted another 2 years before I got tired of wiggling the cord, since it continued to flicker on and off while using it right in the middle of cutting my hair - OUCH !!! :-S That's what you get for trying to save money.
3) The Cord Saver 360 tangle-free swivel. One of the MAIN reason why I bought this unit. When Andis claims that the cord increases mobility and reduces hand strain and cord wear, well you just have to use it ONCE to know what that means - it's AMAZING !!! You can also purchase the separate recharging unit (with the battery) that can be attached to clipper in place of the cord and then use it as a stand alone clipper, if the cord gets in your way. So far I'm fine with the cord attached as it doesn't tangle. Also, the clipper fits in your hand nicely no matter how you position it. It's like using a paint brush; just feels right. I just hope it lasts for years. At least that's what I'm planning for...
4) Lastly, PRICE. I continue to realize that you ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR and in this situation it's the same. If you buy a Remington (like) clipper, you may have it for years, but you will NOT know the difference in the quality of your haircut and coolness of the blade contacting your skin until you use the Andis BGRv (Model #63100). Worth every penny, especially since I haven't gone to a barber in years and don't want someone else experimenting with my hair for $18.00 - $20.00+ every every month. This is will pay for itself in no time. Also, (to me) it's therapeutic when you can take the time to do it yourself...
With all that said - YOU WON'T REGRET PURCHASING THIS MODEL !!!!! :-)

Andis 63790 Head Light Illuminating Hair Clipper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have purchased quite a few clippers in the past and they just never seem to last. I only cut my husband and son's hair so it isn't like they were getting used constantly. I decided to purchase this one based on reviews of other clippers of this same brand. It doesn't pull on their hair like my other ones did. It also seems to have a much stronger motor. The blade does get a little bit warm after giving them both a haircut, but not uncomfortably so. I love having the light - it actually does help me to see a little better. I also really like the idea that I can buy replacement blades when they dull. Overall, I think this is going to be a really good clipper!

Marvy Neck Duster #445 Flat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know that I'm wasting my time writing this review because the product is not worth the expense. Maybe I'll prevent someone else from wasting their money and time on it.
Let me start by saying that I've been using another Marvy product (the No. 53 Stand-Up Horsehair Neck Duster) which has been completely satisfying. I've had it for years and have used it frequently. It is getting long in the tooth so I decided to get another one. I went to the store where I purchased it and they were no longer carrying them. I looked online and found this product. It looked like a good replacement. Sooooo.....
I bought this item from another reseller and got it about a week ago. My first impression was "this thing is pretty shabby (inferior in quality)." This is an understatement. The wooden handle is weak and in the week that I've been using it, the handle has already fallen off. Don't bother with this product and get the other one (No. 53
Stand-Up Horsehair Neck Duster. It costs more but well worth the upgrade in quality.

Andis Professional 21490 Ceramic Advanced Hairclipper Review

Andis Professional 21490 Ceramic Advanced Hairclipper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years, and I have a pretty simple style (high and tight -- kind of like a Marine cut). I've had 2 other clippers prior to this, and this is the best one yet. As the prior review states, the clipper is ceramic and moves against a steel comb. The primary advantage I find is that these clippers don't get nearly as hot as my old clippers did after 20 minutes of cutting.
As far as cutting close, I use the bare blade (no add'l or different combs used) right on my scalp and I don't think I could get any closer without using a razor. My head feels like the stubble on your chin at the end of the day. The disassembly has been fine, and the unit is easy to clean. The cord is nice and long, and seems to have plenty of power and sharpness for anything I need. I love it, and would buy again!
