What customers say about "Key Specs"
Wahl 8110 Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper
  • The blades are very sharp.
  • Ultra close cut that almost looks like you used a razor.
  • First I had to adjust the blades so that the top blade does not extend beyond the bottom.You will get cuts otherwise.
  • Cut is so close that you can cut yourself on softer skin so be careful.
  • Blades wear out fast and start to cut you.
Oster 78705-314 Turbo A5 Two Speed Clipper
  • As long as the blades are oil you shouldn't have a problem with them over heating.
  • Im a professional Barber and these clippers are as good as it gets for the price.
  • These clippers do not cut very well. Every time I cut hair with it it leaves lots of little hairs that the blade misses.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Wahl 8110 Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper
  • Material appears to be very durable and professional.
  • light weight and very easy to use.
  • From its weight, you can tell that it is well-made and has plenty of torque to it.
  • This thing has some weight to it and you can feel the quality.
  • My husband feels that it's a good weight and secure when he's cutting.
  • You would require a helping hand which I don't have. It is because of it's bulky size.
Oster 78705-314 Turbo A5 Two Speed Clipper
  • They dont heat up quick, are lightweight and very quiet.
  • Got a recommendation from my sons barber and these are well worth the money. I really like the wide small trimmer.

What customers say about "Features"
Wahl 8110 Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper
  • The motor is well built and does not get so hot that you wont be able to complete your cut.
  • Good strong motor, Does what it's supposed to do - shave close and quickly - recommended.
  • It is professional quality with a powerful motor.
  • Your fault if you dont adjust them. after that they work perfect.
  • The motor is too strong to shave a scalp without getting deep cuts and bruises.
Oster 78705-314 Turbo A5 Two Speed Clipper
  • The blades are not adjustable, but the attachments work very well with this one.
  • Clipper has a great "feel" in small and large hands.
  • The blades are quite but the switch on the big clippers shake and make noise when they are in use.
  • These clippers are decent. The edgers vibrate a lot when you use them though.

What customers say about "Power"
Wahl 8110 Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper
  • These are 'professional' - thicker and longer cord.
  • Have plenty of power, a good length cord and feel solid.
  • The cord is flexible and long enough to stay out of the way while working.
  • And as I cut my own hair obviously, the cord does get in the way when doing the back of your head.
  • Cord is thick, obtrusive.
Oster 78705-314 Turbo A5 Two Speed Clipper
  • Very good for trimming my beard.A little hard to clean.If you don't want to worry about charging,this is the one.
  • These have little power, I have gone back to my old set because they just don't cut the hair well.
