Customer Reviews

So far so great!
I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years, and I have a pretty simple style (high and tight -- kind of like a Marine cut). I've had 2 other clippers prior to this, and this is the best one yet. As the prior review states, the clipper is ceramic and moves against a steel comb. The primary advantage I find is that these clippers don't get nearly as hot as my old clippers did after 20 minutes of cutting.

As far as cutting close, I use the bare blade (no add'l or different combs used) right on my scalp and I don't think I could get any closer without using a razor. My head feels like the stubble on your chin at the end of the day. The disassembly has been fine, and the unit is easy to clean. The cord is nice and long, and seems to have plenty of power and sharpness for anything I need. I love it, and would buy again!

Good but not great
It doesn't shave as closely as I would like, but for most of my cuts I'm using a comb any way so this is not a big deal. The build quality seems to be better than other Andis units I've seen, and it's fairly easy to clean. When you disassmemble the cutting assembly completely, however, it's a bit of a dance to get Humpty Dumpty all together again.

The big disappointment is that while the cutter is ceramic, the blade is not. WTF? Also, these cermaic cutters chip and break just like their steel counterparts. While I realize that steel and/or ceramic points are naturally going to be weak (structurally), I don't think they should be so fragile- especially when they only have to cut human hair.
