Wahl Professional5 Star Series Cord/Cordless Magic Clip - Full Size Hair Clipper with Precision Blades, Lithium Ion Battery, and 100+ Minute Run Time for Professional Barbers & Stylists

I've been cutting my own hair since 2019. With what first started as a form of convenience turned into a necessity the following year due to the pandemic.With exception to about 6 months where I was maintaining a mohawk, I typically keep my hair all one length using a number 1 once a week (once ever 2 weeks if I am feeling lazy). I cut my hair in the shower using a mirror.Some of the challenges I was running into that pushed me into ordering these clippers is using clippers with a cord was becoming cumbersome. Also, my older clippers would heat up easily due to prolonged use of doing multiple passes to ensure everything was cut evenly. That is where these clippers come in.First, build quality. These clippers are a step up in build quality over my previous corded Wahl clippers. While I was expecting more weight due to being cordless and having a battery, the clippers feel pretty well balanced and easy to maneuver. The blades feel like an added improvement as well, they don't appear to get as hot as my old clippers and do a better job at cutting through my hair in fewer passes. The upgraded guard with the metal clip is a nice touch as well. My older, all plastic guards would occasionally pop loose. These stay well secured to the clippers.Being cordless has been a gamechanger for me. No longer do I need an extension cord to reach the shower and no longer do I have to shift the cord around go from one side of my head to the other. This has made it easier for me to cut my own hair as well as complete it in less time.Battery life has been great! I am usually doing a few sessions (around 20 minutes each) before I put them on the charger and they have never bogged down on me.All in all, I have been very happy with these clippers. While they are not cheap, I wanted something that I felt would last since they would get used pretty regular in my home (weekly). And as frequently as I cut my own hair, I will make up for its cost quickly in savings of not having to pay a barber/stylist.

I love that Wahl supporters the American worker. And as long as they continue to do so, I will support and buy from them ALWAYS. My last clipper I bought almost 20 years ago from Wahl, finally hit the bucket. The wire broke from too much twisting. And it was near where it goes into the clipper. So, I could not strip the wire and reconnect. So, I wanted a quality product, but more importantly, support my fellow Americans. So, I knew who to turn to. And of course, I was not disappointed. This clip is wireless. But you do have the option to use the charging wire if you want. But as long as you charge it, it will hold a charge for a long time. The motor noise is very smooth an quiet. No need to adjust the motor speed like the other ones they sell for $20-$40 ish dollars. This is a one speed. You can adjust the height of the blade. Comes with a few clipper blades. I would recommend if you want to use it for longer hair cuts, to purchase a set that comes with small to very tall blades, like the #10, 12, 14, etc. They are found on Amazon. It also comes with a brush and oil, with instructions. It does not come with a barber robe. You will have to purchase that separate if you want to keep the hair off of you. They have nice ones on Amazon for like $15-$25 dollars. The one I got is very nice and has a hair brush to get all the small hairs off. Some people might look at the $90 dollar price and say that is too much. Even say, all I need is a $30 one and it does everything I need. And that may be true. But having both of the price ones, I can tell you, especially if you cut your hair a bit long, over an inch, this is the way to go. With clean hair, and a proper oiled blade, this not only cuts quick, but gives you an even cut. So, when your hair starts to grow, it won't grow uneven because of the clipper. The hair does not get caught in the blades, which may cause pulling. And having it portable, makes it easy to take it with you, and do hair cuts any where. It is very annoying cutting hair with the cord in the way and hitting myself or my kids face or head. I highly recommend this over the $30-$40 ish dollar ones. But whatever you decide to do, stick with Wahl and support your fellow American jobs. Without them having jobs, they cannot buy your products or services. It is not one companies job to create American jobs, so the other companies can have sweat shops in China to have record profit "margins." Buy American, save our country. This is the first review in over 150 that I can say, "Made in the USA."

I was tired of getting charged over $20 for someone to take 5 min and run the clipper over my head, and having to fight to get an appt at the local hair place.This has changed all that... no more waiting, no more nonsense fees, just a few more times and I'm making money by doing this myself.

Solid cordless clipper. Out of the box was charged in ~5 minutes. Shaved my entire head with power to spare. Happy this thing can go plugged in, if needed, too. I am just a DIY haircut & self grooming guy. This is my second Wahl clipper (1st full size cordless) and I also have a small cordless groomer. All products hold their charge well in my experience. Wahl is the best on the market!
