I had been using one of those kits which included all of the plastic guards etc. which fell in the $30 price range at Target. There is NO comparison. The Oster Classic 76 is the "Cadillac" of clippers. From the moment you turn them on, you can tell by the smoothness and power of the motor that you have stepped up to top quality clippers. They come with a [1] blade and a [000] blade. I purchased a [0000] which is great for real close shaves or fades. I'm confident these will last for years since I'm using them at home and not in a shop. I would definitely buy this brand again ! 71 of 74 people found the following review helpful: By wyhusker "wyhusker" (Gillette, WY United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: OSTER Classic 76 Hair Clipper Blades All Sizes (Misc.)

In the case of hair clippers, however, there is only one option if you want the very best in quality, reliability, endurance, and over the long run, value; that option is the Oster 76 Clipper. Don't even consider wasting your money on anything else.
I grew up in the 70s and sported long shaggy hair (while I could). However, male pattern baldness began to rear its ugly head in the early 90s, and I was forced to go for shorter cuts (or else look ridiculous). My haircuts became continually shorter through the years, and evetually I settled exclusively on buzzcuts. Hence, in the mid 90s, I swore off barbers and began to cut my own hair. Since that time, I've owned two "cheapie" Wahl clipper kits, and while these units did work, they did not deliver the quality of cut that you can only get at a barbershop or with the 76s.

This review is from: Oster 76076-010 Classic 76 Professional Hair Clipper (Health and Beauty) A professional grade clipper to last a lifetime. If you're ready to step up from the cheap disposables most people try to get by with, the Classic 76 is worth considering. All of the parts are serviceable and replaceable meaning it will be around for a long time. That said... these are huge clippers - and whether you can adjust to that or not, the size is still less than ideal. There are other models, from Oster and others, in this same price range that might be more appropriate for the average person. |
