Professional-level hair clippers, popular among employees of salons and hairdressers because of its good functionality, high-quality assembly and accessories. For the same reasons, knowledgeable people often acquire Oster 616-50 (or analogs) for home use, because under conditions of moderate exertion, as they say, there is no demolition. The model is powered only from the network, the vibration motor with a capacity of 9 watts. Here, perhaps, an explanation is required: in contrast to cheap Chinese typewriters, in this case, 9 W is not much or little, but just an indicator of energy consumption. Go ahead, the case has a non-slip Soft Touch surface, there is a loop for hanging. Knife block quick release with anti-corrosion titanium coating. The color of the model is black, the warranty period is 1 year. Manufacturer - USA. Main advantages:

What kind of hair clipper is better to buy?
Our rating of the best hair clippers is not accidentally divided into separate categories, in which everyone can choose for themselves a suitable option both in price and in characteristics.For a house for quite a little money, you can buy both wired and rechargeable clippers from well-known brands (frank “Chinese” at the lowest price, may be suitable for someone, but you need to have a kind of “toughness” and strong faith in own luck). Children are not deprived of the attention of manufacturers, and their parents are available for sale specialized safe models for small heads and soft unruly hair. There is a niche in the market, designed for professionals, which, by the way, is far from being limited to the versions listed above.
Another thing is that it is not necessary to adhere to any strict framework. For example, it’s no secret that format machines Pro more "long-playing", powerful and advanced, have a higher margin of safety. But after all, these qualities are valuable not only for pros, but also for home craftsmen, whom no one can reproach for wanting to own a reliable and high-quality device for years, and not to change them with a certain frequency. The question may be only in price, but even here there is room for maneuver.
I would also like to note that the review did not include some unnecessarily rastiarnye expensive models, which are, in fact, the average level of household appliances, the price tag of which is unreasonably high.
In conclusion
By analogy with the well-known television program (perhaps, in contrast), we do not advertise certain products. This rating is not a call to action and is purely advisory in nature. The final right choice for everyone. Our main task is to make it easier.
Enjoy the shopping!
