 Just Doesn't Work | |
| I bought this kit for my boyfriend. He has fine hair and likes to keep it short. Frankly, I would have been better off giving him a dinner knife to use. We tried it on all the settings and with many of the attachments but the power is so weak you have to go over and over the hair just to cut a few strands. I was surprised at how much some other people liked this product...maybe I just got a lemon.<br /> I would warn anyone thinking about buying this product not to do it. | |
 This clipper pays for itself | |
| I use this clipper set to trim my husband's very short hair. He used to go to a stylist who charged him $25 a cut. Because his ideal cut is very close all around, he needed to get a new cut every 4 weeks or so, and those fees really add up quickly. We finally cut the cord with the stylist and bought a home clipper set. The clipper is powerful and does not get too warm. It is easy to use and the included video makes it easy to learn to cut hair. I haven't attempted any of the more complicated cuts, we just use a Number One comb all over my husband's head and clean up the edges without any comb at all. However, we do find all the accessories to be very useful; the brush for cleaning the clippers, the lubricating oil, and the brush for sweeping stray hairs off the neck. Occasionally I use the shears to trim the hair around his ears, too. The kit also has a mirror and a plastic apron, which are helpful to have. You really could use this kit to get started with all kinds of cuts, and Wahl is a good brand for clippers. If you are looking to get started even just occasionally, this is a great kit to have. With what we've saved in hair styling fees, this kit paid for itself a long time ago. | |
| Not Worth the Money If You Want an Even Cut | |
| I bought these for my fiance for Christmas and returned them the next day. He has been shaving his head for almost two years now and these are by far the worst clippers either one of us have seen! Not only did the clippers NOT cut close enough on the second or third pass, they also left large patches of uncut hair no matter how many times you went over it. We were previously using a set of Andis Pet Clippers bought at PetSmart for the same price and will be going back there for a new pair! If you have thick, coarse hair these clippers are definitely NOT for you. |
