What customers say about "Key Specs"

Wahl 8451 Professional Hair Clipper

The blades are very sharp out of the box.
The size blades were different colors and that was really nice.
Not only are they good clippers for the price but the way the clippers are shaped is good and the angle of the blade is nice.
Hhe surgical blade cuts the hair fast and clean.
The only downside is the blade is slightly misaligned so I will need to adjust that soon but that's no big deal.
I had to return these as I felt like they weren't a zero overlap blade.
At first it was worked well but shortly after the 3rd use, the blades kept pulling hair without a clip.

Remington HC6550 Cordless Vacuum Hair Clippers

It keeps a charge for a long time, and I can get at least eleven haircuts out of it before needed to charge it again.
Efficient, easy to clean the blade.
Blades are plenty sharp and the fan is powerful enough to capture hair in the receptacle.
My one complaint is that without attachments, the blades alone do not do a very close cut.
The blade's not doing a very good job.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Wahl 8451 Professional Hair Clipper

Sharp and light weight.
Plastic body is lighter and stays cooler than metal.
The medium size and weight makes them easy to handle and maneuver.
Balanced weight, I have no problems using it and the clippers are neither fore, or rear heavy
Weight is balanced and won't make your hands tired for extended use.
Alittle heavy.

Remington HC6550 Cordless Vacuum Hair Clippers

They are light weight and can be held in the hand comfortably.
Good weight, quiet but yet strong. Neat vacuum for clippings.
This would make a nice travel item as it is light weight and easy to pack.
Well made with high quality material.
The only complaint is that the size of the hair compartment is smaller, so it holds less hair.

What customers say about "Features"

Wahl 8451 Professional Hair Clipper

Quiet, professional grade motor.
The v9000 motor gets the job done in no time and they take a while before they even start to feel warm.
Good clipper with various sizes. I like the 0.5 and 1.5 guides, good for fading short hair.
Comfortable ergonomics and doesn't heat up as quickly.
A couple of the clips often slip off when using the trimmer which led to a disasterous hair cut one time.
Even though this has the V9000 motor, it still heats up if you're using it consistently for about 45 mins.

Remington HC6550 Cordless Vacuum Hair Clippers

Titanium-coated blades to extend blade life.
The motor IS strong enough and quiet. So much more quiet than my old one.
The motor is terrible and can't keep up with a basic hair cutting motion.
It is a little bit too clumsy for detail work.
I love the concept, but the vacuum is not that powerful and the motor is not that powerful.
No fine adjustment of trim height (only fixed combs).

What customers say about "Power"

Wahl 8451 Professional Hair Clipper

It has some serious cord, more than I'm used to on the last trimmer I had.
It feels premium in my hand, with a strong sturdy cord.
Runs really quiet and has a very sturdy and long cord.
The cord went bad after about 10 months, so this product is now useless.
The cord is a little stiff and shorter than I would have liked.

Remington HC6550 Cordless Vacuum Hair Clippers

I also like that after it is charged, I can use it cordless!
An LED indicates charge status during charging.
Works well while plugged in to charge or not plugged in when charged.
I've cut my hair 4 times and haven't had to charge it yet.
Good battery charge and operation time (instructions say 3-5 hours to fully charge for 1 approximately 1 hour of cordless use).
