5 Star Series Magic Clip Cordless Hair Clipper, Stagger-Tooth Blade Professional Hair Trimmer with Attachments, 100+ Minute Run Time

Great purchase and long overdue! I’ve owned Wahl clippers for decades, for reliability & durability. And always with a cord (old school). I finally rid myself of the cord, and excited about the change. These are a higher grade clipper. Cuts & blade are cleaner, plenty of weight, and maneuvers freely w/o the cumbersome cord. I know cordless clippers have been around for some time. But, I didn’t expect the combination of freedom, power, speed and value for the money. I’ve owned many brands, all have disappointed. However, you can’t go wrong with a Wahl product. Highly recommend.

Excellent clippers. Lithium battery recharges very quickly, lasts a good hour in use.

I didn't realize this was cordless until I pulled it out of the box! Aside from having the pleasure of not playing "jump rope" with a cord hanging off clippers, what impressed me about these clippers is that they accurately and quickly cut through thick dry hair that was nearly a foot long in two passes. The first pass was quick and careless, and the second pass going against the direction my hair was growing. It only took a couple of minutes and the results were tight and even. With cheaper clippers, I would often have to make multiple passes -- as if I'm cutting a steak with a dull knife. Cheaper clippers never gave my hair a "well manicured" look (similar to the grass on a golf course .... versus sprawling crab grass). What's even better, although they're not trimmers. it reduced my beard to a 5:00 Shadow! Not a single snag! The adjustment lever gives a lot more "adjustment" compared to other clippers sold to consumers. I find this useful for trimming the sides of my head. If I shave a little too high, I can balance out the shape of my head by shaving a little tighter just above the ears. Armpit hair simply melts off with these clippers. Great for trimming body hair. They could make a wooly mammoth look like a shaved chihuahua. Complete with a loop to hang on a hook, they're ready to hang next to other grooming toys. These are perfect for cutting your own hair and they cut tight enough that you can taper the hair at the bottom of your neck if your'e not too good at using two mirrors or shaving with your eyes shut. I'm not sure if a professional would use these or not, but they have a more powerful motor despite being rechargeable and that probably accounts for most of their performance. I don't know much about blades on professional clippers, but, I'm pretty sure a lot of them have different blades regardless of how adjustable they may be. The other thing I haven't looked into is what's involved in replacing or servicing the blades on these. I throw cheap pairs ($15-$25) out after 8-12 months of perpetual use so that's something I need to look into. I would still suggest a set of trimmers if you're looking for clippers that will replace an electric razor. These will get close but they're not designed for spitting hairs --- but they'll get your hair short enough that finishing work can be performed with a tool designed for that purpose. I'm glad I bought these. Now that I've had the taste of a good tool in my hand, I'll probably invest in yet another (more professional) pair in the future. It's still costs less in the long run compared to having my hair cut somewhere.

Very good quality. Holds a charge well. Great for trimming my own hair. Easy to use.

I'll update this review as I get some more time with the clippers, but initial impressions (unboxing and one haircut) are good! The clippers seem to be very well-made, have a good weight (without feeling too heavy), good ergonomics, and cut well! For a bit of background, I purchased these to cut my own hair. I've done so with a cheap set of Conair clippers from Walmart for the past ... 10-12 years I believe. While they got the job done and earned their $30-ish purchase price many times over, there were a few things about them that I wished were different from day one. First of all, they were corded, but 10-12 years ago there just weren't good (affordable) cordless options and battery technology was still mostly NiCd / NiMH. Lithium-based batteries today are much more betterer! :) Other annoyances were the fact that they were fairly loud and didn't cut quite as well - especially if I tried to go faster - when compared to the ones my barber used any time I'd go see her. The Wahl Cordless Magic Clips looked like just the item to address all the shortcomings of the old Conairs when they began to malfunction. They were cordless (Yay!), professional quality for better quality cut and more power to allow moving a bit faster, and from reviews and a few videos seemed to be a bit quieter. Again, I'm only one cut into using these, but so far they've lived up to my expectations in all these areas! So why have I deducted a star? Well, there are a few reasons, all minor, and only one directly related to the clippers themselves. With regard to the clippers, the Conairs had very definite settings when adjusting the taper lever. The Wahls seem to be more "infinitely adjustable", without the little detents that the lever clicks into as you adjust. This is not a huge thing obviously, but since I got used to it, it was nice to know I was always setting the taper lever at the same setting each time. I appreciated the repeatability of the Conair design a bit more. The other items are more related to packaging and accessories. Again, keep in mind that i'm comparing this to a set of $30 clippers from Walmart ... also, I understand that the Wahls are marketed as a professional set and not as much for the home user. This difference in target audience, of course, is probably the reason for my perceived shortcomings, but still ... if Conair could do it for $30, then Wahl could do it for $80-90. Just sayin. Anyway, the Conairs came in a nice hard-plastic box that had foam padding and room for the clippers and accessories. The Wahls just have the cardboard packaging which is clearly meant to be discarded rather than used for storage. Since I'm not running a barber shop, mine get stuck under the bathroom counter most of the time and pulled out every other week for a trim. I wish I hadn't chunked the Conair box, because I'd be using it for the Wahls. *facepalm* Also, the Conairs included a nice little brush, about 2" wide, which I presume is designed for cleaning yourself and surfaces of hair clippings as well as a tiny brush for cleaning the clippers themselves. The Wahls just have the tiny one. Thankfully I DID keep the one from the Conair set because it's invaluable for cleaning up the bathroom counter after I cut my hair. Much easier than most anything else I've tried because it actually gets all the hair up without the hair sticking to it. And not that I really used these items as much, but the Conair set included a small set of scissors and a better (IMO) comb than what came with the Wahls. As I mentioned above, I do understand the likely reason behind some of this ... a professional will have professional scissor and combs, they'll likely be leaving the clippers out at all times, etc. I was just underwhelmed when I found that these, which cost 3 times as much as my old ones, didn't have some of the same handy accessories. Overall though, I am VERY happy with my purchase. The little nit-picky things I've identified as negatives will likely be forgotten within a few months. As long as these last as long or longer than my previous set, I won't hesitate to recommend them to others!

The Wahl 5 Star Magic Clip cordless clippers are just that, Magic! Pro-grade clippers prized for precision fades, sharp blades, a strong motor, and lightweight ergonomics; ideal for professional barbers and home user’s alike. Give them a chance and you won’t be disappointed.

This review will be similar to my review of the Andis Black wireless edgers we purchased at the same times, as his reaction was similar for both. My husband used to cut hair, the various textures of 'Black' heritage to be specific, and still cuts his and our son's. He is very picky about the clippers he uses, even within his brand of choice, Wahl; so I was expecting him to let me know what he found unacceptable with these. But he was thoroughly satisfied with this one. He has not found any cordless clippers he has liked in the past so I was thrilled he was happy with these. Like the edgers we purchased, he said the blades cut clean, "without bite," and the body did not get too hot. He also said "the vibration was not hand-numbing" as with other brands. Again, I thought the price was high, but he said it was okay for good wireless clippers. He said they 'have a good weight,' a comfortable size (though his hands are kind of big), and so far has had no complaints with the battery life. He his happy to no longer have to work around a cord while using and still be able to give a good cut. This makes them easier to use. His only complaint is that it does not come with a charging dock included. Seriously Wahl? If you have good enough customers to spend that much on clippers, you can add the dock!

Quiet and nice but they don’t cut as good as my old ones.
