" ... Overall, good durable clipper. ... "
" ... While I am far from a professional barber I think these clippers feel great in the hand. ... Since receiving these clippers I have yet to have to charge them which works great for me. ... "
" ... I was blown away by how lightweight and powerful the trimmer is. ... It gets very close and is great for bulk hair removal. ... I was very skeptical of cordless power on a trimmer due to bad experiences, but this seem like the perfected technology. ... "

" ... One of the best hair clipper I own ... "
" ... I used it to trim my restless 2 1/2 year old’s hair and it was quiet enough for him. ... "
" ... This clippers are great! ... Being cordless I can cut my hair anywhere easily even on vacation. ... "
