great deal! May 25, 2011

I bought this product and am very happy at the quality. It works well. Great product and great value!

I've been using this clipper every Friday since December 2004 and saved $9,100 from not going to the Barber! Feb 20, 2012
By Olaf Johnson
In 2004 my weekly hair cuts in NYC was approaching $20 + tips and to save money I bought this clipper for $25. My purchase was on a trial basis because if I couldn't learn to use it without butchering my hair it was getting returned. The Wahl HomePro Adjustable was very quick to learn and is very easy to use for regular folks cutting their own hair in their bathrooms.

Every Friday morning I've used it to cut my naturally short and curly hair during the last 7 years without any issues. Even when I went to London and Paris in the summers I took it along with a travel adapter. In Paris it worked but in London the AC/DC current was different and the Wahl would vibrate super fast to use safely. So I bought a comparable European clipper at Boots Pharmacy that I keep at my Aunt's house in North London.
During the previous few weeks my Wahl was not cutting sharp like it used to. I unscrewed the shear plates and cleaned it out with clipper oil. Still the shears were hardly cutting my hair because it had gotten dull from 7 years of continuous use. I un-boxed and starting using an Emerson clipper that my brother got me a few years ago for Christmas. It was then that I realized how good my HomePro Adjustable was. The Emerson felt like a plastic toy in comparison. I went out and bought another Wahl Homepro brand clipper but found it impossible to use because it lacked the adjustable lever. So I came back to amazon and bought the exact model I had before.

After 7 years of use it has proven to be the best thing ever and I 100% recommend it.

At $20 + 5 tip x 52 weeks x 7 years I saved $9,100 on account of spending $25 to buy the Wahl HomePro Adjustable.

PROS:
-Has a nice hefty weight to it which gives it a good balance and feel in your hands.
-Super easy to use, blades are smooth and comfortable to the touch.
-Comes with adequate attachments and instruction VHS.
-Shear blades dismantle easily and quickly for cleaning and replacement.
-Easy to travel with.
-Proven Lifetime quality.
-Great price and value for what you are paying for.
-Adjustable Lever makes a HUGE difference for fine tuning your hair cuts.

CONS:
-I couldn't find replacement shear blades anywhere for this particular model and the ones I did see for other Wahl models cost as much as an entire new Wahl clipper.
-Over the years I learned Clipper Oil is crucial to the performance of the blades but the kit comes with a one-time use miniscule tube of clipper oil. Some other clippers come with free big bottles of the stuff but you will have to buy your own here.
-Did not work in the UK because of the AC/DC current differences.
-I wished the power cord was longer but if you get an extension cord you can easily remedy this.
-It is not a quiet clipper but it is not super loud either. I noticed some folks commented on newer model clippers being silent.
This is not a con for me but still it will be for those that like to cut their hair in their local Library.
-For those looking to cut the hair 'down below' keep in mind this is not a small clipper. It vibrates quickly and is louder than smaller clippers. Also the edges of the shear blades protrude out some and are pointy and sharp. So any soft and sensitive areas below your belly button and above your knees you may want to approach with caution.

so so Nov 19, 2010
By Steven J. Walters
This thing vibrates way too loud and it bothers my hands holding it. I like my remington much better but can't find a new 1/8 " guide comb for it.
