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.

Power

Power Type

Corded

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.
