BaBylissJapanese Steel Hair Clipper - Lithium Battery, 160-Minute Run Time, 3-Hour Full Charge, Includes Hard Storage Case, Black, 7785U

Still going strong after 2.5 years of regular fortnightly use. These clippers are impressively robust and reliable – they still look new. Even the lightweight plastic case is holding up. They're quiet, light, and the battery lasts ages for regular trimming. Plus, replacement heads are surprisingly cheap and easy to find from Babyliss (though swapping them is a bit fiddly and not covered in the manual). Perfect for my size 2-4 haircuts and tidying eyebrows with the size 1 guide.

I purchased these clippers to replace a set of Phillips clippers that were still in good working order, I had my eye on these for a while but didn't want to pay £100 for a pair of clippers so I jumped at them when they were offered at £64.99 back in November. I have used them for several months now and think they are worth £100 all day long, the clippers are heavier than the Phillips clippers but are not heavy enough to be uncomfortable in use and it's that reassuring weight that comes from a well put together premium product, everything about the clippers feels good quality the materials used for the body, the click of the taper control, the finish, the Japanese steel blades all add to the feeling of a high quality product, I charged the clippers as instructed before the first use and allow them to almost fully discharge before re-charging and the battery life is excellent, I cut my hair using the lowest 0.6mm setting 2-3 times per week and a full charge lasts around 6-8 weeks, what's more I'm never worried about running out of charge mid cut as the digital screen tells me how much cut time I have remaining, there's also a 20 minute quick charge for 20 minutes use that I have never had to use. I don't use the blade guards but I have tried them and they are easy to fit and remove, the carrying case doesn't quite feel up to the quality of the clippers but it allows me to store everything neatly and protects the clippers. I would buy these clippers again, which is something I wouldn't say about the Phillips clippers, the Phillips clippers did cut closer at 0.5mm but the BaByliss clippers cut better so I don't need as many passes and I enjoy using them far more.

These are really decent clippers. They give a good cut, missing only the odd hair on the first 'pass' (my previous ones needed 4 or 5 passes to get every hair) so I would say they are really sharp. There's loads of guides provided however the shortest is 3mm. I like it shorter so was nervous about using it without a guide, but I needn't have been. Didn't cut myself once and I have quite a lumpy head!They're a nice weight, not too heavy that they become uncomfortable to hold but not too light that they feel like a toy. The case isn't "premium" and is made from a lighter plastic, the insert is really flimsy. Fine for storage but not necessarily any good if you intend to travel around with them.Attaching and removing combs is really easy, and unlike other brands you don't feel like the comb will snap as you're trying to fit/remove it.The only negatives are that they do get hot, after 10 mins of use they were quite warm and not gliding over my skin quite as smoothly. Also they're not waterproof so cleaning is a bit more of a chore, and I can see a couple of hairs in-between the blades that the brush can't reach.Overall I'm really pleased with them. I'd rate them 4.5/5 if it were an option. Giving them 4 stars feels harsh but they're not a 'perfect' 5.

These clippers charge pretty quickly and the battery lasts for three to four haircuts at approx 40 minutes use per cut. The blades seem sharp and it comes with eight guards for different length cutting, but no tapered ones for the ears (though I don't find this an issue). Had them over a year and no issues.

I bought this clipper to replace my old Wahl which was heavy, vibrated somewhat and noisy. I didn't want to buy another Wahl so after reading reviews for various clippers on here I decided on this one. Used it for the first time today. Needs a bit of trial and error to find the exact setting to suit and I guessed at one attachment but then changed it to another, which was spot on. This one is substantially lighter than the Wahl, a great deal quieter and much easier to use. Very pleased I chose this one and can definitely recommend it. Good price, too.

Long lasting battery and very good cut

Love this one

When moving the lawn it takes on more of garden lawn than a crown green bowling one. It does not go short enough. Personal choice and I want the smallest stubble for my noodle, 0•6mm is just a fraction too long. My own fault I should have got one of 0•1mm ones, just thought this would be short enough. This means I have to used it every other day to achieve the look I want. The long battery life and it's so easy and comfortable to use means this isn't too much of an inconvenience, but felt I could only give 3 stars. If you're not a little bal Buddha like me you will probably love this bit of kit and it will save you a fortune not going to the hair dressers. Everything else about it is quality and well worth investing in.
