Andis 01557 Improved Master Professional Clipper

I have own many clipper over the pass 25 years. These are the best for fades hands down, they have blade ajustment on side of clipper that don't move as your cutting that fade!As for baldheads Oscars are the best on the market with #ooooo blade.. I plan a getting T-Trimmers they seem to be a good product as well..

I am currently working in Iraq and wanted to get a good, reliable set of hair clippers that I can use to maintain my bald head while here. I have had enough with the cheap $15 clippers that break and don't do a good job of cutting, so I splurged on these clippers which cost me $100. I have been unable to use the clippers at all because they apparently need to be tuned or something. They are incredibly loud, the blades are not centered on one another, and the blades swivel very easily. I am by no means a professional barber so maybe I am missing something here, but for $100 I expect a piece of machinery that is ready to go right out of the box. The instructions told me to tighten a screw on the side of the clippers if they were loud, but that does nothing. I am going to have to send the clippers back home to my brother hoping that he can bring them to a barber for a tuning and return them to me. Way too much hastle for what I paid.

This clipper is simply the best I have encountered. I have been cutting my own hair for 15 years and I have become quite good at it. This unit is sharp and precise. It is very solid and durable, in fact the entire thing is metal and aluminum. The motor is unbelievably powerful and is about average noise production. You can really feel the quality of this product once you hold it in your hand. It is expensive but judging on the past few weeks I have owned it, it will last me a lifetime. True, you have to buy the comb attachments separately, but they too are good quality with metal latch, durable and accurate design. Only the lower quality clippers will come with the attachments for the average Suzy Housewife.

The clippers are really good, the only downside is that attachments don't come with it.
