Sharp, sharp, sharp,

i've been buying cheap clippers for years now, when i decided to try out something on amazon.com. i was looking for anything in the $30-$50 range, reading everyone else's reviews to get an idea of what everyone else wanted.
i stumbled across the remington's, drawn to them because the set came with the regular clippers and the fine-tuning clippers. two clippers for $30?
the first thing i noticed when i plugged them in was how light weight they are. i'm so used to using what felt like a brick to cut my hair that these really light weight clippers seemed to help me get better control over what i was trying to do.
after waiting a few weeks to finally order them, my hair had grown out of control. i shave my head bald so when it got to about an inch long, it was time. the very minute the blades touched my hair, i was expecting them to slow a bit, maybe semi-jam, or something. my hair is pretty thick, but these blades effortlessly cut my hair...Read more

Simply put, these clippers work great. I really don't know what a couple of the other reviewers have been talking about. My hair is particularly thick, and the clippers run through it like a knife through warm butter. The cordless option is fantastic. Though it is indeed a bit less powered than when plugged into an outlet, it worked well enough for me to cut my hair standing in the tub so that the hair clippings did not fall all around the bathroom. Let's run through the summary:
PROS
-light, very light...so it's easily maneuverable.
-very quiet.
-comes with a bunch of different size groomers and trimmers for varying lengths. I have opted to go near bald sometimes and otherwise chosen to leave my hair pretty long in other cases. It worked well in both instances.
-cordless.
CONS
-really, I can't think of one. If hard-pressed, I might suggest a better storage box for all the trimmers and accessories that it comes in. But quite...Read more

Going back to Wahl,

I have been cutting hair with clippers for close to 15 years now. After my last Wahl finally gave up the ghost, I thought to try these clippers.
Nice appearance, description and at the time, nice price...so I thought, "Why not"
My previous Wahl wasn't a cordless and I thought a cordless would make for a nice change.
What a disappointment, right from the begining. These clippers are not heavy duty at all. Don't let that "chrome" finish fool you. It's light weight plastic.
In trying to cut my husband's slightly grown out military cut, it began to bog down but we managed to get through it-SLOWLY.
In trying to use the cordless feature, found that they were even more gutless.
After about 6 months and 6 cuts, the clippers began to "snag" and would stop cutting. I would have to go back to the starting point and make another "run" for it.
Finally, after what took twice the time than it should-I completed his simple cut.
After giving my baby his...Read more
