SMOOTH BUZZ,
July 25, 2006 Len (Connecticut USA) - See all my reviews
You're probably struggling to choose a clipper because the reviews are so mixed. That was my experience anyway. I bought the Wahl Super Taper II mostly because of the 5-star review from "inquisitivetoo". I couldn't be happier with this clipper so far. I've cut my son's hair once, and my hair twice. This clipper truly DOES cut hair like a knife through butter. Aside from the excellent blades, the overall design is impressive. This clipper is hefty, delivering a substantial hand-feel. The different-colored clip-on combs are easily selected by color, eliminating the need to read the print on each one. The only negative is the Taper II is not cordless. The attached cord is quite long however, allowing good mobility from your wall outlet to wherever you're cutting. I see this clipper offered through multiple vendors here, at a wide range of price points which is confusing. I can't see any difference between the plastic-sealed versions, and bought the one priced at $55.95 (as of...Read more

Cuts through like a hot knife to butter!,
January 23, 2006 inquisitivetoo (Alaska) - See all my reviews
I have been "buzzing" hair for 15 years now and to date, these have been my absolute favorite hair clippers.
To date, I have owned 3 Wahls (this set included) and the last being a Remington (utter crap!)and while I have been satisfied with the previous Wahls...the Taper II's have been my absolute favorite.
Typically, when buzzing hair-you can hear the difference (sound) the cheaper trimmers produce when idle and in trimming. Not the case with these.
These trimmers glide right through hair effortlessly, no matter course or fine. I am truly a happy camper and after the agony my husband experienced with the previous Remington's...so is he!
Thank goodness for Wahl, I am never turning back.
Good luck.

The Practical Wahl Super Taper II,
August 29, 2006 Vlad - See all my reviews
Stop. I already did the work for you- I would be insulted if you continued to browse. It is true, however, that I don't consider my time wasted. All the same, my experience with the Wahl Super Taper II was so positive that I am compelled to offer shopping assistance.
Difficult shopping is about conflict. Every product on the damn market creates conflict with all the others- even unrelated products. You will find yourself trying to save money on a DVD player so that you can buy that book or CD. The most popular conflict with the Wahl Super Taper II is likely with the cheaper packages. Are you the beginner? Do you want to save money? You don't need an expensive first time set of clippers, right? Plus, they come with all those extra accessories, right? Wrong. If it doesn't cut hair it doesn't cut hair. No price in the world can change that. The Super Taper II cuts hair. The motor is powerful and the blades are sharp. There is no lag when cutting through tough...Read more
