An excellent hair clipper for home or professional use.,

An impressive hair clipper in every sense.
I purchased this cutter (for home use) after some discussion with a person who had some experience with 'Wahl' hair cutting products; I was not disappointed with my decision.
The unit comes with a clip guard, blade oil, a comb and six different cutting guides (ranging from 1/8 to 1 inch). This is a corded unit and requires a wall outlet that will accept one normal width and one wide prong plug.
The pros:
1.)This clipper has a heavy, secure feeling in your hand; it really feels solid and well made.
2.)The cutting guides give a nice solid 'click' when applied to the blades, giving the impression that they are securely on.
3.)Noise was not an issue for me (as opposed to the person who reviewed this product before me). I felt the unit produced a substantial, but not terribly annoying, hum.

Ideal for home cutting.,

The Wahl Designer is inexpensive (34.99-49.99), handles great, lasts much longer than consumer-grade clippers, and comes with clipper combs (most pro clippers don't).

Well worth the money.,

I had purchased these same clippers several years ago at a much higher price, unfortunately I had dropped them one to many times and was forced to purchase another one. I couldn't believe that I was able to find the same one, the Wahl Designer Professional Clippers for a fraction of the cost. These clippers worked great and probably would still be going strong if it wasn't for my carelessness.
So would I buy the same ones again? I did.
