OSTER Fast Feed Adjustable Pivot Motor Clipper 76023-510

My husband had a pair of these that lasted approximately 15 years They finally gave out so I ordered him another pair. Let’s see if he can get 15 years out of them.They’re easy to use and very doable

These clippers for cutting hair are excellent! They’re sharp, efficient, and make cutting hair at home so much easier. The adjustable settings offer great versatility, and the motor runs smoothly without any pulling. The ergonomic design makes them comfortable to hold, even during longer sessions. A great investment for anyone looking to save time and money on haircuts!

I’ve always been a fan of the quick and easy buzz cut. I bought and immediately returned two different models from another popular brand that I have used for decades before, and their quality went straight into the toilet. These Oster fast feed clippers are powerful, quiet, and sharp. Cuts my thick hair like nothing and I mean like right now. It’s refreshing to see that Oster still cares about producing a superior product.

I really like the clippers and I wish I could give a max 5 star rating; however, I have experienced a few negatives along the way. I have been using the clippers consistently about twice/three times a month (active duty military so they get used a lot) for the past year and there a few things to point out.Ergonomics: The clipper feels perfect in your hand and is easy to use. The cord does get in the way especially when cutting the back of your head, but that’s a very small gripe. Overall the clippers feels fantastic in the hand and isn’t heavy.Blade: I never used the original blade and purchased the andis ceramic blade instead. I can’t speak of the quality, but be aware that the original blade is not a true 0/skin when the lever is fully closed. There is about a good 1/4 inch when fully closed with the original blade, hence why I chose the andis ceramic. The included guards are absolute trash so buy the andis guards purple. The original guards broke after the first use so invest in a nice guard set. The andis purple magnetic guards fit perfectly on the fast feeds so happy with them.Durability: This is where I have to knock Oster. The clipper cuts great, but they get clogged very easy and you constantly have to brush off the blade repeatedly. I lubricate the clipper after every use and I still find that the clipper gets clogged/jammed with hairs. I am still able to complete my haircut, but it’s just an added annoyance that I am brushing away the blade constantly.Quietness: I don’t know what a quiet clipper sounds like, but my particular fast feeds do NOT sound quiet at all. They get louder when hair gets jammed and even with a consistent oiling Schedule there is a decently overall Loud humming sound when the clipper is on. I will say that it’s quieter than the classic 76s since the motors are different, but aside from that I don’t consider them quiet by any means.Overall: I give the clipper 3.8-4/5.*One thing to note is I’m not sure if the clipper is brand new or refurbished. I hope it is, but the body of the clipper definitely did not have a new finish to it and almost looked refurbished or something. I would still buy it again, but just be mindful before considering.

Relevant background: I have been cutting my own hair for the last 14 years. During that time I more or less settled on Wahl brand clippers. The problem is that the Walh clippers dulled relatively quickly, got clogged with hair easily and took many passes to get it right because of the inferior attachments and the attachments popping off. But for the price of 20-30 some bucks to replace every year or so, it was ok. However I've found the newer models of wahl clippers have used cheaper and flimsier attachments. The attachments got so cheap that if you pushed too hard on your head, the attachment would distort. Well that's exactly what happened. I mean can you at least not scrimp so bad that it defeats the purpose of the product? None the less, I tracked down a set of older and better made attachments and went to business as usual. To do a perfect job took me about 30 minutes to cut my hair because you have to make many passes from where the attachments push the hair down and where in general the clippers don't get unless you brush the clogged hair out for every 6 or so inches of hair cutting. If you've done this as much as I have, you know what I mean. I had enough, I flushed enough money down the toilet on Wahl.One day I got pissed and decided to invest a few extra bucks in my next set. I researched the models out there and this one came very highly recommended in the intermediate price range. I purchased it and have used it three times since I got it. It works great, it flys through the hair no problem and it does not clog with the cut hair. I can cut my hair in about 5 minutes instead of 30. The attachments are thin without being flimsy, so you don't have to go over the same place over and over. The attachments also slide on from the top/front end of the blade and lock into place so, no matter how hard you push on your head, the attachments will never pop off. I wish I got one of these years ago. The construction is way more solid that the walh brand. It is heavier and obviously has a better motor. The blades go through everything without a problem. This is a great clipper for someone like me who only uses it about once a month. People seemed to complaint about the noise- if you are that sensitive to sound then you have issues. You are literally pressing a buzzing motor against your head...you want it to not be loud? It does get hot like people say, so I would not recommend using it without attachments for more than 15 minutes without a break. I would not use it cut my dogs hair without letting it cool completely which may take awhile. My advice....get it
