Highlights
Quality
This is the longevity you can expect from a well made product.
I been cutting hair for two years and i’ve experimented with many clippers like i’ve mentioned … the magic clips are amazing
After 3-5 years they would always get super dull blades, rust out (even with adding blade oil), and the motors would crap out.
If you regularly cut hair at home and have been frustrated by performance of your clippers, it might be worth treating yourself... Read More
Price
For the price, you really can't go wrong with this model.
This is a made in america product for about $60 that will probably outlast you on this earth.
I started looking for a clipper after receiving one too many shoddy, overpriced haircuts from the chain locations.
I can honestly say i expected these things to cost 80$ easily, but was surprised when they were actually a really reasonable price.
Packaging/appearance
This clipper basically came in a plastic clamshell and cardboard box.
The first time i received this, the box was shattered.
-the packaging is kinda horrendous for a clipper of this price.
They didn't come with a carrying case, so i purchased a dopp bag (asin: b09wcthmbf, medium) to serve this function.
Competitiveness
I was in the market for an upgrade, and the online reviews highlighted the andis master as the best clipper available.
In my opinion, this precision is exactly what separates it from other clippers.
No included zip pouch which my cheaper clipper had when i bought it from walmart all those years ago.
At the same time, i was skeptical of the cheap generic style clippers that you'd find at any big-box store.
