Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After nearly a decade of replacing cheaper clipper sets every 2-3 years I finally decided to purchase a more expensive set. I'm glad I did! Even if they only last as long as cheaper ones, there's a handful of things I'm happy to pay the higher price for. If it matters, I cut my own hair, and have for as long as I can remember, so my feedback is from that context. I don't cut anyone else's hair, and I tend to cut more frequently (every 5-6 days) so that I only need minor touch-ups vs. having to commit to an entire cut. Here's what I like about these vs. cheaper sets I've used in the past: 1. Better/stronger motor. Part of why I replaced cheaper sets so often is b/c they'd eventually start pulling my hair, regardless of proper blade oiling and sharpening. I immediately felt a difference in how much smoother these cut, especially during faster movements. 2. Stronger, smoother closed & open guard adjustment - feels far more assured than what I'm used to on cheaper sets. No matter how small or large the adjustment, the gaurd stays in place once adjusted. 3. Guard combs that stay in place, finally! On cheaper Wahl clippers I always had to worry about guard combs coming off b/c that happened every so often. The guard combs in this set snap on much firmer and have stayed in place extremely well. 4. 1/2 and 1 & 1/2 guards are included. These allow more flexibility and safety when blending fades. In my case, I'm spending much less time going back and forth between the 0, 1, and 2 gaurds - the half guards hit the mid points much better and faster. 5. Heavier feel. I value this b/c I have large hands. The heavier feel of these provides better guidance, especially during faster movements. I've only used these a handful of times so far but remain very impressed. Definitely recommended.
