5 Star Series Magic Clip Cordless Hair Clipper, Stagger-Tooth Blade Professional Hair Trimmer with Attachments, 100+ Minute Run Time

Great hair clipper. I trim my hair every two weeks and having a reliable, quality clipper saves me time and provides an accurate cut. Did need to purchase additional guards for fade and shorter clips.

Excellent machine, best hair removal I’ve ever had. Low noise level and easy to use.

Excellent shaver! Works great and cuts hair crisp and clean!

I didn't realize this was cordless until I pulled it out of the box! Aside from having the pleasure of not playing "jump rope" with a cord hanging off clippers, what impressed me about these clippers is that they accurately and quickly cut through thick dry hair that was nearly a foot long in two passes. The first pass was quick and careless, and the second pass going against the direction my hair was growing. It only took a couple of minutes and the results were tight and even. With cheaper clippers, I would often have to make multiple passes -- as if I'm cutting a steak with a dull knife. Cheaper clippers never gave my hair a "well manicured" look (similar to the grass on a golf course .... versus sprawling crab grass). What's even better, although they're not trimmers. it reduced my beard to a 5:00 Shadow! Not a single snag! The adjustment lever gives a lot more "adjustment" compared to other clippers sold to consumers. I find this useful for trimming the sides of my head. If I shave a little too high, I can balance out the shape of my head by shaving a little tighter just above the ears. Armpit hair simply melts off with these clippers. Great for trimming body hair. They could make a wooly mammoth look like a shaved chihuahua. Complete with a loop to hang on a hook, they're ready to hang next to other grooming toys. These are perfect for cutting your own hair and they cut tight enough that you can taper the hair at the bottom of your neck if your'e not too good at using two mirrors or shaving with your eyes shut. I'm not sure if a professional would use these or not, but they have a more powerful motor despite being rechargeable and that probably accounts for most of their performance. I don't know much about blades on professional clippers, but, I'm pretty sure a lot of them have different blades regardless of how adjustable they may be. The other thing I haven't looked into is what's involved in replacing or servicing the blades on these. I throw cheap pairs ($15-$25) out after 8-12 months of perpetual use so that's something I need to look into. I would still suggest a set of trimmers if you're looking for clippers that will replace an electric razor. These will get close but they're not designed for spitting hairs --- but they'll get your hair short enough that finishing work can be performed with a tool designed for that purpose. I'm glad I bought these. Now that I've had the taste of a good tool in my hand, I'll probably invest in yet another (more professional) pair in the future. It's still costs less in the long run compared to having my hair cut somewhere.

I'll update this review as I get some more time with the clippers, but initial impressions (unboxing and one haircut) are good! The clippers seem to be very well-made, have a good weight (without feeling too heavy), good ergonomics, and cut well! For a bit of background, I purchased these to cut my own hair. I've done so with a cheap set of Conair clippers from Walmart for the past ... 10-12 years I believe. While they got the job done and earned their $30-ish purchase price many times over, there were a few things about them that I wished were different from day one. First of all, they were corded, but 10-12 years ago there just weren't good (affordable) cordless options and battery technology was still mostly NiCd / NiMH. Lithium-based batteries today are much more betterer! :) Other annoyances were the fact that they were fairly loud and didn't cut quite as well - especially if I tried to go faster - when compared to the ones my barber used any time I'd go see her. The Wahl Cordless Magic Clips looked like just the item to address all the shortcomings of the old Conairs when they began to malfunction. They were cordless (Yay!), professional quality for better quality cut and more power to allow moving a bit faster, and from reviews and a few videos seemed to be a bit quieter. Again, I'm only one cut into using these, but so far they've lived up to my expectations in all these areas! So why have I deducted a star? Well, there are a few reasons, all minor, and only one directly related to the clippers themselves. With regard to the clippers, the Conairs had very definite settings when adjusting the taper lever. The Wahls seem to be more "infinitely adjustable", without the little detents that the lever clicks into as you adjust. This is not a huge thing obviously, but since I got used to it, it was nice to know I was always setting the taper lever at the same setting each time. I appreciated the repeatability of the Conair design a bit more. The other items are more related to packaging and accessories. Again, keep in mind that i'm comparing this to a set of $30 clippers from Walmart ... also, I understand that the Wahls are marketed as a professional set and not as much for the home user. This difference in target audience, of course, is probably the reason for my perceived shortcomings, but still ... if Conair could do it for $30, then Wahl could do it for $80-90. Just sayin. Anyway, the Conairs came in a nice hard-plastic box that had foam padding and room for the clippers and accessories. The Wahls just have the cardboard packaging which is clearly meant to be discarded rather than used for storage. Since I'm not running a barber shop, mine get stuck under the bathroom counter most of the time and pulled out every other week for a trim. I wish I hadn't chunked the Conair box, because I'd be using it for the Wahls. *facepalm* Also, the Conairs included a nice little brush, about 2" wide, which I presume is designed for cleaning yourself and surfaces of hair clippings as well as a tiny brush for cleaning the clippers themselves. The Wahls just have the tiny one. Thankfully I DID keep the one from the Conair set because it's invaluable for cleaning up the bathroom counter after I cut my hair. Much easier than most anything else I've tried because it actually gets all the hair up without the hair sticking to it. And not that I really used these items as much, but the Conair set included a small set of scissors and a better (IMO) comb than what came with the Wahls. As I mentioned above, I do understand the likely reason behind some of this ... a professional will have professional scissor and combs, they'll likely be leaving the clippers out at all times, etc. I was just underwhelmed when I found that these, which cost 3 times as much as my old ones, didn't have some of the same handy accessories. Overall though, I am VERY happy with my purchase. The little nit-picky things I've identified as negatives will likely be forgotten within a few months. As long as these last as long or longer than my previous set, I won't hesitate to recommend them to others!

Clippers are so easy to hold and very lightweight. I would recommend these. Very sharp cutting blades and you get a nice set of guides with a clipper comb. 10 out of 10

The picture is wrong. The box is different, it does not come with a comb, and it does not come with those cheap guards as seen in the picture. It rather comes with the new premium wahl guards that you can also buy separately on amazon. It comes with 8 guards: 1/2 guard 1 guard (1/8") 1.5 guard (3/16") 2 guard (1/4") 3 guard (3/8") 4 guard (1/2") 6 guard (3/4") 8 guard (1") Notice that guards 5 and 7 are missing. If you buy the premium wahl guards separately, it comes with the plastic holder and with guards 1-8 but is missing the 1/2 guard and 1.5 guard that these clippers come with. I will do an updated review once I get to really use these. ---- Update 11/2017 These things run like a champ and I highly recommend them. I primarily use them for cutting my own hair with the help of my wife. Highlights: Battery life - We used these for about 1 hour and 30 minutes on and off. Power remained strong from beginning to end. At the end I charged these and it reached 100% in 10-15 minutes, indicating that it had plenty of juice left after my cut. If you cut many heads, these can be used while charging at the same time. The chord it comes with is high quality. Heat - After the 1.5 hour session, it remained cool all throughout. Heat is a non-issue with these. My Andis GTX trimmers on the other hand get very hot. Power - My hair is a medium between thick and thin. These cut right through without any hang ups at all. These won't be as powerful as seniors or masters, but for the personal home barber these have more than enough power. Unless you have very nappy/thick hair, these will have ample power for your needs. I almost considered getting seniors or masters but felt it would be overkill for my personal needs, and they are heavier, run hotter and are not cordless. Fading - I faded my hair from a 1/2 guard to a 2 guard. Because this set comes with the 1 guard and 1.5 guard, the fade was well blended and effortless. Even an absolute beginner won't find it too difficult to fade with these. I feel the results were professional and I actually like how my cut turned out compared to when I go to the barber. Comfort - These are very lightweight combined with being cordless, making these extremely easy to use at multiple angles. They also don't vibrate too violently and they have grooves that make the clippers fit right in the hand. By way of comparison, my Andis GTX trimmers are heavy, corded and are very powerful, making the vibration a bit uncomfortable in the hand, and they run hot. Accessories - These only come with a little oil, cleaning brush, and the 8 guards mentioned above. The brush is cheap and you're better off getting a bigger dedicated brush like the Andis blade cleaning brush. The guards are excellent - nicely rounded so it doesn't scrape the head and they just feel solid and hold in place firmly. You will want to buy separate oil and comb as well.

Great purchase and long overdue! I’ve owned Wahl clippers for decades, for reliability & durability. And always with a cord (old school). I finally rid myself of the cord, and excited about the change. These are a higher grade clipper. Cuts & blade are cleaner, plenty of weight, and maneuvers freely w/o the cumbersome cord. I know cordless clippers have been around for some time. But, I didn’t expect the combination of freedom, power, speed and value for the money. I’ve owned many brands, all have disappointed. However, you can’t go wrong with a Wahl product. Highly recommend.
