This review is from: Oster Power Line Heavy Duty Clipper # 76076040 (Health and Beauty)
Some background:
I've been using some basic Wahl "Balding" clippers now for several years. I'm not sure of the model, but they're red and were about $45. Recently, they started acting up on me, in that they would sort of pull on the hairs and not actually cut them. I always lubricate them and occasionally take them apart to clean things up or adjust, but it just didn't fix it this time, and so I needed some new clippers (since I didn't trust to just buy new blades for 'em).
I generally liked the Wahl's and thought they were rather nice quality, but then I got the Oster's. This is my primary frame of reference here. Price paid (with shipping and tax): ~$147.
Where the Oster's excel:
(1) They're sturdy and well-built.
(2) They have little/no vibration, which feels smooth compared to the "vibrator" type clippers, such as the Wahl I have.
(3) Though the blades do get warm rather quickly during use, they don't seem to get above a...Read more

Oster Power Line is by far the best clipper...,

The Oster Power Line,is a great clipper, it gets the job done right every time. I really love the 00000 blade it comes with, gets the cut nice and tight. The clipper itself is real sturdy and well built, you can tell it is built to last. The motor is real powerful and seems that it will hold up over time. The only thing that ya have to be aware of, is that a clipper like this needs a tad more maintenance then your average clipper, not only do ya have to oil the blades, but ya have to grease the motor. Its really not a big deal, and they include a bottle of grease with the clipper.
Overall, I am really satisfied with the Oster Power Line, and I cant see myself using anything but the best from here on out...

Superior clippers,

This clipper is great!
I bought it to replace some old vibratory clippers and I'm glad I did. These clippers use a true side-to-side motion that just powers through hair without getting clogged or pulling.
Blade changes are effortless and the 00000 blade cuts extremely close.
All the parts in the clipper are replaceable and the parts can be purchased on the internet so you can rebuild/fix it yourself. Very durable and high quality construction.
Very pleased with this purchase. If you use clippers once a week or more you owe it to yourself to get a good one, I am very pleased with mine.
This is the same clipper as the Classic 76 except in black.
