What customers say about "Key Specs"
Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer
  • The shape up machine is well made . Sold at a great price and it's an outstanding product. I used it a few times and it's working good.
  • works well. cuts close
  • It's sharp and cuts to about 150th of an inch. No itch no burn. With this blade you'll be able to get into every nook & cranny.
  • The blade hasn't dulled at all and the motor works as well as the day I bought it which was just about a year ago.
  • I would love for them to be sharper but I guess there could be some adjustments made that can get them where I want them to be, but right out the box they were not as sharp as I wanted them.
  • had to adjust the blades because they were slightly crooked and not aligned. Other than that they worked great.
  • received it and 3 days later it seized up, tryed oiling didn't work finally took blades off oiled put back together now doesn't cut as close.
Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece
  • Stronger, smoother closed & open guard adjustment - feels far more assured than what I'm used to on cheaper sets.
  • I've only used these a handful of times so far but remain very impressed. Definitely recommended.
  • Very easy to use and such a good quality for the price I paid.
  • No more bowl cuts and no more overpriced hair stylist.
  • I was impressed with how sturdy all of the attachments felt, and equally impressed with the solid feel of the unit itself.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer
  • great design, close cut, couldn't be happier.
  • On top of that the cast metal exterior gives it a nice solid feel.
  • Too heavy and very thick body, therefore awkward handling.
  • However, the T-blade head is not the most comfortable thing raking across my scalp. I like the trimmer, but don't think that I'd buy the same ones for the same application.
  • First impressions of this product were the great design and the weight. Although a noticeable increase in weight from my Andis Pivot Pro, the durability and closeness of the cut should greatly makeup for it.
Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece
  • Heavier feel. I value this b/c I have large hands. The heavier feel of these provides better guidance, especially during faster movements.
  • Great kit, will last quite a few years if cared for properly. Nice compact kit.
  • Even the cord is hefty. I also like that the case can hold everything but is still compact.
  • Fits all into a box, compact, and easy to move.
  • It's too heavy for such a poor performance it shows.

What customers say about "Features"
Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer
  • It cuts close and the blades are adjustable and it's easy to use.
  • This cuts just as well especially considering the price. With proper maintenance it'll last at least a yr b4 needed new blades.
  • Great trimmer for balding and lineups. Blade is adjustable, watch youtube tutorial for gapping the blade or take it to a barber and see if you can get him to do it (tip him well if he does) WOULD NOT recommend to "Zero Gap" the blade if you are not a professional licensed Barber with exlerience.
  • Hair/beard lining made easy!
  • I prefer adjusting them because they get so hot but other than that I highly recommend getting them.
  • I've been using Andis for years and my expectations have always been met. One issue though. It gets very HOT after long usage.
Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece
  • No matter how small or large the adjustment, the gaurd stays in place once adjusted.
  • 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.
  • It was used for a quick trim, and did cut through the hair with ease. On this front, I was quite pleased.
  • he clipper guards are my favorite part, there are a lot of options.

What customers say about "Power"
Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer
  • Plus, the corded trimmers always have a consistent power.
  • I like the size of them and the strength of the motor. With that said there are some shortcomings namely the blade getting hot.
  • Strong motor Edge ups are simple.
  • Easy to use, quiet, and doesn't require a great deal of pressure when lining.
  • It is not very loud nor does it vibrate heavy.
Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece
  • The unit being corded is a HUGE advantage as far as I'm concerned.
  • Not cordless. Thankfully the cord is longer than most so this wasn't a pain point for me.
  • The cord sheath is a single barrel rather than the typical scored double sided deal on my previous clippers so less likely to get all twisty.
  • The clipper has a very long cord, so I can have the boys stand in the bathtub to catch the hair while I cut their hair and there is still room to move around.
  • The cord is generously long. They are just as loud as our old set. For us, that isn't an issue.
