Not bad for the price of 60, I have paid nearly that amount for other trimmers which have been crap.
The grades are wasted on me as I shave at the shortest setting which in all honesty is not as short as I’m used to but I knew this from another review. A shorter cut would have had this trimmer a 5 star rating.
The trimmer itself is quite a big beast, a lot bigger/bulkier than my previous one which I purchased for 40 in November but i was happy to send this to trimmer heaven as it’s battery lasted only one shave of head and face.
This item arrives in a tough case for storage and has a good battery life, so far I have used it twice already and still plenty of juice left in its tank.
It cuts head and face pretty well with no nick’s to ears or lips and doesn’t seem to pull hair or snag. I do recommend this item but I wouldn’t have paid 100 notes for i
Got these based on reviews and to be fair, these are well worth the money. I have “thick” hair and other clippers have cut for a couple of strokes and then cut and pull the hair, however these (all be it only used once this far) cut nicely from start to finish with absolutely no pulling what so ever, more expensive than many other clippers, but worth every penny
This is by far the best hair clipper I never bought well worth the money it’s quiet powerful and precise well made and excelle
Brought these as my other brand clippers wore out after lockdown. These are heavier but they do a great job. And blending is so much easier. Only sad thing is that they don’t have an adapter to shave the head to do a skin fade. But great clippers.
Great hair clippers. My husband and son are delighted with them. I found them quite heavy to use but I’ve got arthritic hands so its probably just me! Would def recommend buying.
I have always hated battery operated clippers as they never seem to deliver the power that you get from a wired pair. This causes the clippers to tug and pull your hair and as an autistic person, I find that difficult to deal with. These however, are very different.
I bought these last December (2020), charged them once, trimmed my beard 18 times and had my hair cut 4 times and there is still 68 minutes of charge on them, but more importantly, they are still delivering a smooth, powerful trim with no pulling or tugging.
In the box, you also get everything you would expect and need for trimming hair.
This is an excellent product that I would happily recommend to anyone.
No dislikes. Long battery life. Very comfortable and easy to use. These are sharp and cut hair with no effort.
Professional quality and can’t recommend enough. I’ve been cutting my own hair for over 20 years now and owned several Professional grade clippers and these are the best by a long way.
I am very happy with this item. I use it to cut my hair and trim my beard. It does both very easily, it is nice to handle, very soft, no noises. Battery lgoes on and on and on. Couldn’t be more happy than I am.
Bought this hair grooming shaver and amazing results, battery lasts ages cut is great and the accessories are easy to use
These are the best hair trimmers I’ve used.
The blades are extremely sharp so you get a very quick cut without the pulling that I’ve sometimes had from previous trimmers. I’m able to Clipper my head in just a few minutes.
The truly amazing thing with these trimmers is the battery life. I’ve charged these once when I first got them and they still have over an hours use left in them and I use them twice a week, very impressive.
Easy to recommend
Never been back to the barber since beginning of pandemic. Has paid for itself a few times over.
Have been using cordless clippers for about 5 years for my hair and beard. These are the best ones i have used so far. The guide combs are easy to use, the battery indicator and cutting size indicator are clear and give you all the information you need
Easy to use gets the job done real quick, 5/5 rating
Great Hair trimmer. Light, easy to hold, cuts nicely and the blade stays cool.
Would buy this product agai
After reading some of the negative reviews I was surprised by how good these clippers are. I use them for my beard and head hair and am extremely impressed.
The clippers are quite heavy and have a very premium feel to them. I have more expensive Philips and Panasonic clippers and these make them feel toy-like.
I should add I have a very thick beard and experience no hair pulling as others have stated. There are plenty of attachment combs to choose your length and I like the fact you can lock the razor by holding down the power button for 3 seconds.
At 48 I don’t think you can find better clippers.
I usually don’t spend much on hair clippers but for some reason I went mad this time.
HOW MUCH??? screamed the partner..We’ll have to eat beans for a month.
Anyway, now that things have calmed down a bit I can honestly say that these are worth every penny.
Not sure if the whole shebang is made of Japanese Steel but guess that the crucial bits are.
It is well designed and beautifully made. Lightweight, quiet, quick and effective.
(The case is a bit naff but at least it has one and it works)
My advice would be to buy this clipper.
I’ve had this product for a year now and use it for both shaving and hair cuts
Excellent quality cutting (like most, I thought the Japanese blades wouldn’t be any different)
and amazing battery life; one year on and still running off first charge!
These are way better than I expected they are a little heavy but not massively so.
Battery life is awesome.
The blades are sharp, I have kept them oiled and no snags or pulls at all.
This has many settings, but I have only used one for my husbands hair. Does the job well, cuts evenly no odd hairs left. Good value for money. Very happy with purchase.
This is a quality piece of kit. It feels good and cuts beautifully. The blades never drag or pull. The adjustment control really enables you to get the length and fade that you want.
Superb product and feels and looks excellent engineered and designed.
Top class with vast range of accessories. Could not fault this product from Japan.
Have been doing home haircuts for many years now (have saved hundreds as a result!), and this replaced my 20-year-old Conair clippers.
Had thought I would need mains-powered clippers to get the right amount of ‘grunt’, but the BaByliss has plenty of power and the battery last for ages.
Although there are lots of clipper lengths to choose from, I like the fact that you can add extra precision with the rotary control. Not 100% necessary but a nice-to-have.
Solid feeling set of clippers and the blue metallic finish feels like decent quality.
Overall – a good set of clippers for someone who uses them regularly.
Very pleased, we bought these clippers (why is it plural when there’s only one?) to replace an old Babyliss clipper (s?) that was still working after many years but a bit blunt. That made us want to stay with this brand, and these new ones are great, nice and sharp, well designed and nice to hold.
Only downside, hence 4 stars is the box, made of thin cheap plastic.
Best clippers I’ve used and all accessories are a more solid quality than I’ve had with previous clippers. Can’t fault them.
I have used this three times to cut my children’s hair and it has been a gift. It is less loud than my wahl unit so it didn’t spook my young kids as much, low vibration feedback in the hand, easy to hold and the battery life was great.
Been using it to cut my own hair – cordless makes a big difference, as does the shape and weight. The carry case for the attachments is a tad poor quality hence the four stars.
So many times I’ve researched clippers with decent reviews,only to be disappointed when they arrive.
I decided to try these as they seem highly rated and I’m chuffed to bits.
They’re nice and weighty, very long battery life with the minutes remaining indicator. The main 2 things they excel at where others have failed: 1) the blades cut like butter,no snags, no motor struggling,just straight through. 2) The guard’s don’t flex (so you get an even finish), and they dont clog with hair.
Very impressed
A few fake copy reviews being posted. Have had mine since DEC 2019 and is still going strong – Genuine Product. Seems a little funny as I also paid half the price they are listed at now during the sales back then. Battery life is excellent, always a decent cut and no cons that I’ve found. If you get anything other than what you see in the pictures then return as you are being mugged off or there’s clearly been some kind of mix up at the warehouse. The genuine product is the real thing and can safely say I’ve only had to charge mine 3-5 times so far over that timeframe. Lightweight and a breeze to use – cordless for the win.
I usually update my clippers every 3 years, bought these and used them for the 1st time today. Absolutely love them. They are quiet, cut really well with no pulling or cuts etc. Lucky to have got them for 50 about 4 weeks ago but would still be happy if i’d paid 100!!!
Very Happy with these graders. The cut is good the battery life is really good. They are easy to hold and easy to use. Well worth the money
You get what you pay for… I’ve been cutting my own hair for years now and saved hundreds of pounds on going to the barbers.
I’ve had many different hair clippers and I’ve often just stuck with them because they were ‘OK’… This time though as I dropped the charging plug of my old set and broke the earth pin out the transformer plug I was forced to invest in something new.
I bought these… Not the cheapest of all cutters and I was reluctant as I’ve never paid this much on a set!
I genuinely wish I’d bought them years ago. They glide through my hair with ease, no tugging or catching, the cut is perfect, I don’t have to keep repeating passes over the same bit and they are so light and easy to work with.
If you’re in the market for some new clippers, don’t hesitate, just buy them!!
Excellent quality,well made and easy to use can highly recommend this produc
I bought this in a sale. Ive used Wahl for years and thought Babyliss were flimsy. not these. And once it was fully charged it cut brilliantly with no drama. It was like going from a tractor to a ferrari!
I would think twice about buying these full price, but at half off they were well worth i
These were a much-needed upgrade from a more basic Philips set. So glad I made the investment. They have really good battery life; solid separate grade attachments that aren’t too spiky (my son hates getting jabbed in the head); they are fairly ergonomic to hold and not too heavy. I got them at a reasonable price as I held out until they were on offer, but they are a definite improvement on the previous set which had one annoying adjustable grade attachment. Only niggle is the case is a bit fiddly to fit everything back, but only because it has a shaped insert which could probably be removed if need be. Very happy with these clippers.
I’ve had these now for four months and used them throughout this latest lockdown to keep my hair short. Having had many clippers previously from Philips and Braun I expected something similar but these far surpassed my expectations. They feel and look like a quality item, I still haven’t had to charge them yet which astounds me, and the cut is clean, accurate and precise. In short, I’d be hope BaByliss keep making these as I never want to buy a different set of clippers ever again.
I’ve bought these because I believe that if you buy cheap you’ll pay twice. The clippers are of the very highest quality. Very easy to use, a joy to cut my hair.
The clippers cut through long overgrown hair easily with one go and can make smooth tapered blend thanks to the lever with 6 notches. Hair is not getting clogged when you are trimming.
So far, so good. A really neat set of clippers which do a great job and are very easy to use.
Great, loving it. Such good quailty. It’s worked a dream so far. The only downside is the flimsy inner of the storage box. Clippers and everything else good
Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it glides through hair without pulling also great for body hair. You get what you pay for.
Great piece of kit. Just remember to put the Taper onto 3 if you have washed the head and need to put it back on. Took me ages to figure that out!!
This was recommended by a family member. And it is as great as they say. Easy to use and easy to clean. Very pleased with it.
Very good up to now, only used a couple of times but results are grea
Very good quality, battery life good and has lots of great blades so can get any style you wa
When the barbers shut due to lockdown this was the alternative
Simply love them, wonder if I’ll ever go back
Great product. Cut my own hair. Don’t bother with the guards just use the naked blade.
Only downfall is I wish the blade cut shorter. It’s only 0.6
Probably the best clippers I’ve bought and trust me I’ve had plenty. Very well made and excellent battery life, cuts fine bit pricey but I purchased in sale so it was bargain in my eyes… you won’t be disappointed
Never cut my own hair before but this has been very easy to use and clean with great battery life
Best damn clippers I have ever owned – they cut amazingly battery life is awesome and easy to use
What a piece of Kit! Had a beard for many years now and just use a trimmer to keep it trimmed. Using the Babyliss trimmer is a breeze. Set the trimmer length and get a readout on the unit. Add a comb for longer hair.
The quality of these clipers is exceptional. Th sharpness of the blade’s can be felt as they glode effortlessly cutting with ease.
I cut my husbands hair and found this razor very easy and plenty of various combs giving the style versatility. Thanks baylis.
Battery life is good , I have not charged yet. Easy to use with the selecting switch and the motor looks strong.
If you want a shaver that really works then you need good quality blades and a design that ensures the cutters lift the hair. This is the one and I wouldn’t bother going elsewhere. Up to you.
Had quite a few hair clippers and this one is by far the best, really does cut hair beautifully, worth the money and don’t need to visit hairdresser anymore
Nice piece of kit . Arrived with several attachments and sturdy box to store it in . Quick charging and well balanced. Very happy with it so far.
So I decided to invest in something a bit better (hopefully) and did a fair bit of research and looking around before settling on these. I had my choices narrowed down to these or two lithium battery powered clippers from Wahl but neither of them were available from Amazon at a decent price or direct from Wahl themselves.
I am certainly not disappointed with my choice and I wasn’t paying more than I needed to.
These come with all the size attachments I will need (there are 8 of them, they are marked in mm as well as BaByliss own size number).
Fit nicely in the hand due to the size and shape plus are not too heavy or too light.
Attachments go on and off easily and the digital display shows how many minutes cutting time you have left.
Blade is removable for cleaning and replacing if necessary.
Instead of the normal style of clipper which may have a taper swith on the side of the clippers these have a dial which locks the taper length (has 5 settings ranging from 0.6mm up to 3mm). These can cut hair with the attachments fom 3mm up to 28mm.
I have only used these (my wife actually) twice to cut my hair but the difference in how sharp these are and there is no need to go back over areas twice as these do the job first time.
It is important to note than it is recommended that before use you charge these fully. It can take up to 3 hours but while charging there is the runtime plus a little clockface on the display. The clockface symbol flashes when its charging and stops when it is full (it remains lit). The runtime is a maximum of 160mins.
Came with a 3 year warranty which is more than most and less than some others.
Very good my first haircut was very good. And you couldn’t tell that I had not been to the barber’s.
I’am very pleased with it.
Very easy to use on my husband quick and looks good
Great clippers, the 0.6mm grading is great for me. Easy to hold and use on yourself.
Only used this product twice but It does a good job. As a hair trimming beginer it would be useful if it had taper guides as well.
Very good product and great product support when bought directly through amazon.
I really wanted the tapered guides but they were not in the pack
The best clipper I’ve ever used cuts so effortless and so nicely weighted. Dare I say it that it’s better than the babyliss super clipper xtp! Highly recommended you won’t be disappointed.
very efficient clippers, nice weight, easy to use, well organised box, I’m very happy with this purchase.
Great set of clippers, easy to use and lots of guide sizes.
Cuts my hair well, easy to use, good range of guards (1-8).
Expensive but it is a safe investment – 8 saved trips to the barbers and I’ll have made my money back.
Shame the internal plastic in the box is so flimsy, but otherwise solid.
Had the wife shave my head three times now and battery has only just needed charging. Decent cut everytime wasnt sure about the price to start but it’s all I could find with quick delivery.. but these are a good investment won’t be going to the barbers again even after lockdow
When my old clippers died mid hair cut I needed some more to keep my hair cut during lockdown. A lot of items were out of stock, but this one came sooner than advertised. Great battery life, range of grades and adjustable within those grades too. Can’t fault it.
Good clippers. Nice weight. Good battery. Would recommend. A bit expensive. 50 would be right.
Great value for money was almost half the original price and very good quality plus good battery life 5 stars all round very impressed with this trimmers.
Excellent product battery life superb sharp cutting blades and a great motor every thing you need in a hair clipper and you’ve the bonus of the barrel adjuster from 06 mm to 30 excellent value great service from amazo
So far really impressed, really good battery life and easily cuts hai
My partner loves his new clippers. The ease that the hair is cut .
Love these make job so easy and quick
Fast delivery and good value I got them half price
Very good quality… only fault is storage case not big enough to fit charger cable in once it has been used
He followed instructions and charged it before use, oiled it as instructed. His comments were very favourable, the blades cut cleanly and at a single stroke and his cut hair didn’t fly all over the place. His haircut took far less time, was comfortable and much less messy.
He did comment the cut was not quite as close as his previous clippers but only by a small margin. He was delighted with his new clippers and I was too, particularly as I had bought them at a much reduced cost.
I bought it for my husband. He said it’s an excellent product! It does all it states and more..
Professional style hair clipper. Battery lasts a long time. Easy to use. Handy storage case.
The top blade is slightly on a angle. Not parallel to the bottom blade.
It’s very good and reliable hair trimmer
I use it on a daily basis
I recommend it to all
This is a great item. One of the best clippers I have owned. Cuts excellent, battery off the mains is really good. But the best thing about this product is the tapper selection. Great product.
I be got this bad boy on the Black Friday sales and could not be happier. It is great to cut hair with and way more quieter than our old one!
These don’t come with tapered guards, however Wahl or any others you have will fit this.
They’re a piece of kit. You get what you pay for! One or two passes and the hair is cut, unlike cheaper ones I’ve used before.
Quality of cut is great. It is easier to use, lighter, and quieter than my previous corded clippers. Combs are easy to attach and remove. Not owned it long so cannot comment on reliability.
Small gripe – case could be better quality.
These are just what I needed for my families thick hair .other clippers just tug and get stuck in their hair when cutting but boy are these sharp and they cut so well .they are easy to use ,comfortable in hand with a good selection of comb lengths which easily clip over the head and it all comes with a case to keep it secure
This is a very high quality hair clipper. It certainly looks and feels nicer than the other ones that I have tried. All of the components are good including the case. It is easy to use and very efficient.
For my needs cheaper basic ones are usually sufficient but if you have enough hair for clippers to be voluntary these will do a good job.
Can there be a “Rolls Royce of Hair Trimmers”? If so, I think I’ve found it.
This Babyliss trimmer is fantastic. It is equipped with superior Japanese steel for a fantastic cutting edge. It also has a digital display, useful for displaying battery life and taper settings. There is also a useful “twist” control for adjusting the taper settings. Those who used to have Sony Minidisc players years ago will be familiar with this style of control. Very good indeed.
In use the clippers are very comfortable to hold and use, grip is good and – so far – battery life seems good too.
Lots of accessories, so everything you need is included. I would imagine due to the quality of this then the clippers will give years of good service.
impressive
I really like this hair clipper. It isn’t cheap, compared to many available at the moment, but it is pretty good.
It comes in a sturdy plastic case, along with a variety of hair thickness combs, a mains charger and a small bottle of oil.
This keeps it together nicely.
It charges quickly, and there is a neat display on the unit to show the level of charge. You can see at a glance how many minutes of operating time you have available.
When you disconnect the charger, the display becomes an indicator for the depth of the blade when using it without a comb.
The hair thickness combs attach easily with a click, and they are easy to remove by squeezing in the sides.
No more struggling to wrench them off!
The blade is very sharp, and cuts through most hair types with ease. My own hair is a bit thick and wiry, but it went through without any effort.
I have owned two other (cheap) clippers that just wouldn’t go through it, so this is a great improvement.
Would recommend.
This item arrived safe and well packaged.
These clippers are sensational! The blades are so fine cutting – ready for a very close shave indeed! The kit contains several guards that can help cut in varying lengths.
The lithium battery is a decent size and doesn’t make the unit too heavy. These are low noise compared to many I have previously tried.
I highly recommend this product.
This is by far the best set of hair clippers I’ve had and the ones I were currently using (BaByliss for Men Super Clipper XTP ) were not that cheap either. You open the black box and go wow, how cool is this. The design and finish on it is really stylish. The metallic blue is lovely, combined with the metal and black accents. Pick it up and it fits perfectly in your hand, the weight is none too heavy. Ergonomically, the design has been really thought out. Sadly, you still get those black plastic combs, but the plastic quality is better than some.
The blade itself is Japanese steel and the honeycomb design on it looks very smart indeed. With this type of steel, the sharpness should last much longer than other ones. It’s also washable, which is very handy. You have a simple on/off button, when turned on, lights up the bright LED display showing how many minutes off use you have before it needs recharging and also the cutting length. The display is clear and bright. There is a twist grip build into the handle, which you turn to adjust this.
Due to the nature of my hair, I have need for only one of the attachments, so can’t really pass judgement on the rest. This clipper really cuts your hair well and cleanly. With less need to go over the same area again. It also doesn’t attack my scalp as much as my other one. You get a good even cut.
Once charged, battery life is good, but not quite the 160mins as stated – more like 145mins for me. To full charge takes around 3 hours, so that’s not too bad at all. You can use off the mains, but your limited to 20mins run-time. Holding down the on/off button for 3 seconds will lock and unlock it. So no worry off it starting up whilst packed in your case.
You get a solid 3-year guarantee. 1-year return to Retailer and for years 2-3 you return it to Babyliss.
First in class hair clipper, if you can afford it.
I hope you found this review interesting, informative and useful. If so, would you kindly hit the “helpful” button. Many thanks.
This is a fully-featured clipper set from a very well-known company in hair care. It has everything you need for a good home hairstyling set, and does the job very well. I have been using such products for almost 25 years now, and can say with some confidence that using them connected to the cable gives more power than when they are charged, and portable.
I also can’t be bothered with ‘digital’ information. Plug them in, choose the size of cut you require, and cut your hair. That’s the best way, and this does it as well as any others available.
The build quality on these is brilliant and they are certainly built to last, also with the rubber grip around the top they are nice to hold and easy to use. The blades are really sharp and powerful and cut with ease and precision and I have to say these have been the best clippers I have ever owned. With just a twist you can change the taper and with 45 lengths there are so many options to choose from making this pefect for everybody. The case this comes with is really handy and keeps everything organised so nothing goes missing and making sure its accessible. The accessories it comes with are everything you need so this is the complete package and definitely worth the price. Being cordless you do have to charge ever so often but I found this to be no issue at all as the battery is very long lasting and charges up really fast. Very impressed and would recommend
Blades perform exceptionally good and cut through hair like a sharp knife through butter.
It comes with lots of accessories combs, charger and even lubrication oil. It is the only cordless trimmer that I have used that comes with a proper plastic box to keep everything tidy and put away safely.
I am very impressed with this product and highly recommend it.
Negative:
Only thing missing from this fantastic kit is tapper ear combs. I used those as it gives a nice and tidy trim around the ear without worrying about. That’s the only negative I can say about it. But overall built quality and precision compensates it.
5 Stars.
The battery life is excellent; and it charges quickly from the included charger (no 2 pin adaptor or socket needed.) You get 30 minutes of use from 30 minutes of charge – you can also run them tethered to the adaptor if you can’t wait. You cant use these clippers in the shower on battery or otherwise. Battery or mains doesn’t seem to impact performance; it cuts cleanly and with seeming the same constant power in both modes.
The shaver comes with its own plastic blister box which holds the shaver; its mains adaptor (its not usb which is crap in 2019 – and accounts for the only star I removed) and all the shaving length adaptors, a bottle of mineral oil and a cleaning brush. The box does make it easier to store everything; though like those that come with diy tools I imagine mine will quickly be missing parts.
The length adaptor combs have the numbering system 1,2,3 as well as proper length measurements on them = No 1 = 3mm for example. I really appreciate the metric measurements on the adaptors as I have no clue what the number system means. They haven’t included a personal hair adaptor when you aren’t using it on your head; so you need to do that carefully…
It does get a bit more complex the clippers have a tapering feature; if you are cutting someones hair you can get fancy and tune the cut on top of the adaptors size the adaptor a further 3 – 0.6mm to allow you to create a less layered cut if you are switching adaptors. It does this by moving the cutting blades further inside the razer (you can see this in the photos where there is a close up between 3mm and 0.6mm of the cutting blades. If you are doing your own hair this feature is only really going to let you set a longer length outside the included extender clips.
I said at the start these are excellent clippers; I say that as there is a powerful motor that cuts even if you run them through your hair too fast. The battery life is excellent. The instructions are really good; even going as far as to advise you to let them cool down after use before storing them. The fact the combs have metric and number system on them is great; and if you are a hair dresser I imagine the taper dial will let you do a better job than without. The long battery life means its there when you need it. I did ding a star over charging from a power brick which seems wasteful in 2019 when USB charging is essentially ubiquitous. If there were half stars I would have taken another half off for not including a wo/man scaping comb… Otherwise for a touch up of sideburns or a full hair cut these are great.
To start with they come with a really nice, sold case which I LOVE. I hate buying beard/hair clippers and then not having a small bag/case to store them in. The only negative comment about the case is the fact the inside is a bit cheap / plastic… but overall a win.
The clippers themselves have a twist adjuster which allows you to change the fine cutting length, i often shave my hair without a guard and so having the ability to tweak how close I shave is a real bonus.
Lastly, you are provided with a host of larger guards, which is pretty standard. The clipper being “digital” gives you a bit more info/control which is nice.
Overall, an expensive but very nice clipper if you don’t mind spending a bit more money. Not something I had expected from Babyliss.
Particular mention on beard/stubble trimming is the smooth edges on the base plate.
