It’s small, it’s powerful, and it’s a great price. It seems like it’s built to last and so far there is no problems with it.I choice the Pilot because I was looking for a hair clipper that my girlfriend could use on me. It needed a few basic requirements:1) light weight2) doesn't vibrate a lot3) small4) powerful enough to get through my hair, which a lot of consumer grade hair clippers can't do very well.It meet those needs excellently. The rotary motor was especially smooth, while being light weight and powerful.It was very comfortable for my girlfriend to hold, as well as for myself, even though my hands are on the larger side, and hers are fairly dainty.The blade on this is also interchangeable with the fuller sized wahl hair clippers, as well as the attachments that can be attached to the blade. This is nice since I don’t have to worry about replacement parts since I feel this clipper can last me a long time.It never got too hot to use, it was actually cooler than the consumer grade products. It does need to be cleaned and oiled for proper maintenance, but it’s easy to do, the oil is cheap, and if you really wanted to be lazy, there are sprays you can use for this purpose to be even easier.Everything you really need came in the box to start using it right away. I would recommend in time you purchase the cleaners and lubricants that you want to use for maintenance as the ones that come in the box are more of a trail size, but they still work.There is nothing I dislike about this hair clipper, even the cord has a nice feel and is way more than long enough.My only minor compliant is that there is no mentioning of the exact sizes of the clipper combs (which are 1/16 3/16 1/8 1/4 3/81/2 3/4 1 if I remember correctly) and the size I happened to like the most wasn't part of the set that came in the package. Honestly that is a minor compliant, and not worth removing a star since this is a professional product, and you would already have all the combs anyway, and they are easy enough to buy. I just happened to switch which size I use, and really the size is almost the same so I don't care, and I'm not going to buy more combs just to have a more perfect size.It does have the taper lever but that is more advanced than I have learned so far, but maybe one day I'll get there.Update June 2021: This was purchased Dec 2014, so 6.5 years now. Absolutely no issue with this clipper, except the 50% price increase I noticed when going to write an update. I just keep it clean with the little brush that came in the box and oil it with the  Wahl Professional Blade Oil . Yes it says animal on it, but it is the same product, and at that time I purchased it, it was the cheapest. I still haven't gotten around to purchasing more combs, but that is from laziness and changes in my life. I've just been going one size under what I would prefer to use. I have nothing to add except that it has outlived my friends consumer grade clippers twice over (if not thrice now). It is only used on my hair, stored in the original box, so this is in no way a review for commerical use, like this product was designed to be used in.  Read Less
