Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m a barber and I totally recommend the Wahl Pro kit if you buzz your hair or cut your kid/husband’s hair. I bought this set a few days ago strictly for the clipper guards. They’re the new “Elite” line of guards that have a metal clip on them and sturdier teeth. They’re miles better than the guards you’ll get in any other set. They also have a smoother ground tip on the teeth, so less poking. The set of guards alone would run you $35. The clipper itself is also great for the price. It’s definitely a budget model, but it uses the same magnetic motor that the professional line uses, although it’s likely the v5000 model instead of the v7000 or v9000 model in the Super Taper or Seniors. It has a precision cut blade, which is more forgiving than the surgical/fade blade most barber will use. It also has a considerably better power cable than any other clipper you’ll get in the price range. As far as I could tell, the cable is the same gauge as on my Wahl Seniors. As long as you brush out the blade and oil it after every use before letting it sit, it should honestly last a lifetime for home use. Seniors can last decades of use at 20 cuts a day, and these clippers aren’t that drastic of a step down in build quality. As far as the extras are concerned, the comb is fine, and the cape will be very useful if you usually find yourself just wrapping someone in a towel. It comes with a small bottle of oil which should last a home user awhile. All it takes is a couple of drops of oil WHILE THE CLIPPER IS ON to let it work through the cutting blade. All together, it is a fantastic home hair cutting kit, and you won't find a better clipper kit at this price.
