Title: Best Clippers I've Ever Owned!
Review: I have been cutting my own hair for the last 16 years and have always used the "walmart special" Wahl clippers for all of my haircuts. Now, don't get me wrong, they got the job done but it was always a chore to go over certain spots on the hair to ensure that it was completely cutting it all correctly. It also felt like you had to apply more pressure/effort to get the blades to cut, almost like it was pulling the hair a bit. After 3-5 years they would always get super dull blades, rust out (even with adding blade oil), and the motors would crap out.I can honestly say that these Magic Clip clippers are the best that I have ever owned. They glide through hair and cut through it like butter. The motor is insanely fast and these just "feel" like a professional grade product. They're also fairly lightweight and easy to hold. The only downside that I have for this product is that it did get pretty hot to the touch while cutting my hair. I wasn't even spending that long on my first haircut with these, it was maybe running intermittently for an hour or so? That's really the only downside here. I don't think it being hot will affect the longevity of the product in any way, but I think it should be noted. Overall, the value that you get with these clippers makes this a 5/5 review for sure. Some of the other "professional grade" clippers you see on here are $2-$300 a pop. This is a made in America product for about $60 that will probably outlast you on this earth. The last thing I'll say is that if you get these clippers you need to take care of them and give them maintenance like any other machine in your life (air conditioner, furnace, car, lawn mower, etc). You need to clean them and oil them regularly to keep them in top working shape. As long as you know that going in, you'll be golden.

Title: Should open my own Barbershop now
Review: -----Bought in Sept 2016 still going strong-----It is June 2023 and I still love these clippers, I use them every month or so to keep things fresh between actual visits to barbershop every 4 or so months. They are still going strong and haven't failed me once. Never pulled hair, never choaked up still a beast. This is the longevity you can expect from a well made product. I stand by my original review below 100%. If you cut your own hair treat yourself and buy good clippers. It is a multi year investment that will pay off.Great Clippers for Home UsersI bought these to replace an old set of Wahl (Wahl 9639) clippers that I have had for a very long time now for about 5 years. I picked them up from a Walmart because I got tired of being overcharged for a simple haircut when I could do it myself. I do my hair myself or if I am lucky my wife will do my hair for me. The set I bought a long time ago came with a plethora of guards as well as the left ear right ear guards. So I read a few reviews and heard these were lacking some of these guards, but operated on the assumption that the ones I have would fit on this set of clippers. I was right. I did a bunch of research on different clipper motors and honestly couldn’t even find what motor my old clippers used. This one came the all powerful V9000 motor which is basically the most powerful motor any home user would ever have use for. I wanted two things on my new set of clippers Power and Price, powerful yet would not break the bank and these clippers met those criteria for me.Pros-Fit my old WAHL guards, which was important because it seemed to be missing a few choice guards.-Powerful, I am seriously impressed with this set of clippers. Flipping the side switch on them immediately makes me want to start shaving neighborhood dogs. Hair doesn’t stand a chance against these clippers. Be prepared for the rush when you first turn them on.-Included guards are pretty high quality, I noticed a really good increase in the quality of the included guards from my old ones. (See attached Pictures)-The unit feels indestructible, they are heavy for clippers which I mainly noticed because my old ones are plastic instead of the metal these clippers are. So I noticed a HUGE increase in quality.-The included cord is neither short nor long, so depending on how/where you use these clippers you may have to plug in an extension cable.-Mine were obviously new never used and came undamaged. Just thought I would make this point being that some reviewers have made points that theirs were damaged on arrival and such.Cons-Included 8 guards, but was missing guards as well. Most notably the right and left ear taper guards. But quizzically it is also missing a few standard guards as well. (See attached Picture) It HAS the NO.½ (1/16”), NO.1 (1/8”), NO.1 ½ (3/16”), NO.2 (1/4”), NO.3 (3/8”), N0.4 (1/2”), NO.6 (3/4”) and the NO.8 (1”) along with the orange blade guard. MISSING are the NO.5 (5/8”) and NO.7 (7/8”) along with both the Left and Right ear Tapers.-Furthermore WHO is going to use the NO. ½ or NO.1 ½ clippers? Instead they should’ve had the NO.5 and NO.7 guides. I can’t think of a wide spread use for the 1/16” or 3/16” guides. But I CAN think of a use for a 5/8” and a 7/8” guide which are NOT included. Just seems odd to me is all.-The packaging is kinda horrendous for a clipper of this price. No included zip pouch which my cheaper clipper had when I bought it from WalMart all those years ago. This clipper basically came in a plastic clamshell and cardboard box. I was kinda expecting more but at the same time didn’t care. Just something to note.ConclusionIn my honest opinion not having a nice case or missing a few guides should not prevent you from buying these clippers. I WOULD expect them to include these missing items, but I still love them. I guess one reason this isn’t a deal breaker is I have the missing guards from my previous Wahl trimmer and they fit this one. So if you are really needing the left and right ear taper or the NO.5 and NO.7 guides you may have to buy them separately if you don’t have them from a previous trimmer.There are a few items this set of clippers could’ve included and really beefed up the reviews on the product itself. The ear tapers could’ve been included as well as the missing NO.5 and NO.7 guides. I mean honestly less expensive all including clippers (Like my WAHL 9635 that Amazon still sells) include these items and cost half of what this set does. I guess the real question is do you actually NEED those missing guides/combs? My personal answer is yes on the tapers because I like the look they give me; but no on the missing 5 and 7 guides. They also could’ve included a nice zipper pouch like the one I included that I got when I purchased my Wahl 9635 clippers 4 -5 years ago. However it looks like they have discontinued including any kind of hard or soft case on any clippers they offer on Amazon. So if you want a good case you are gonna have to buy one, which kinda bites.These trimmers are a HUGE step up if you were just walking down the aisle at a WalMart one day and decided you would buy a trimmer to do your hair. I can honestly say I expected these things to cost 80$ easily, but was surprised when they were actually a really reasonable price. Especially since they are much more powerful and such a better build quality than my older set of trimmers. I expect many many years of consistent haircuts with these trimmers given how long my old Wahl lasted.My Wahl 9635 was good to me but it is time to retire it, but it will live on through the Left and Right ear tapers and the NO.5 and NO.7 guides I am carrying over.

Title: Great Professional Grade Clipper
Review: I have been cutting hair for over 20 years, and over the last 10 seriously. Although I am not a licensed barber, as my career path lead me elsewhere, I enjoy cutting the hair of my family and friends. As my skills improved I began moving onto professional grade equipment. I move away from the entry level equipment, found at general stores, around a decade ago. My first foray into the "pro" clipper was an Andis Speedmaster. I was in the market for an upgrade, and the online reviews highlighted the Andis Master as the best clipper available. However, I could not validate spending $100 plus on a clipper; especially as I do not cut hear for a profession. If the clipper was vital to increasing my revenue as a barber I would have looked into it. As I am sure it is a great clipper. That being said, back to the review of the Wahl Magic Clipper. Personally, I believe that it would be nearly impossible to match quality and performance of this clipper at the price point. It is hands down the best clipper I have ever used. It is a phenomenal and powerful machine, priced under $50.I would not classify this product as an entry level clipper, as the V9000 and the "STD" fade blade, are not for novice barbers. This machine is intended to cut hair with precision. In the hands of a novice, it may be too much to handle, because it does just that. In my opinion, this precision is exactly what separates it from other clippers. If purchased with the intention to do fade and taper cuts, it will be hard to obtain a better product at the price point. The only word that comes to mind when describing how this machine creates fades and tapers is--blurry. As the fades and tapers transition very smoothly with little effort.I purchased this clipper over the Wahl 5 Star Senior for two reasons: 1) The price 2) The shapeThe clipper is identical to the Wahl 5 Star Senior with a different case. I prefer this case due to being left handed (and the Wahl 5 Star Senior has and ergonomic indention for a right handed persons thumb); and it simply looks better. The price point was also slightly cheaper. In my honest opinion, a fairly skilled barber can't go wrong with this clipper. My advice would be to purchase it, and then take your time handling the slight learning curve, and enjoy the results.

Review: Buena calidad y corta muy bien. No se atasca, buena potencia. Espero sea duradera, porque no es barata. Reemplace mi cortadora casera porque se atascaba mucho. Esta se ve que es profesional.
