5 Star Magic Clip Cordless Clipper, Stagger-Tooth Blade | Seamless Blends & Fades with 100+ Min Lithium-Ion Runtime, Includes 8 Cutting Guides, Oil & Cleaning Brush

Lives up to its name. Clean cut. Amazing quality. Love the wireless one.

I’d highly recommend these clippers for multiple reasons. First of all they’re not too loud, they charge fast, and have a decent battery life. Secondly, they just cut great! Super ergonomic in the hands especially if you’re cutting your own hair and fairly light too so definitely easy to use. For the price I’d say it’s very worth it. If you’re hesitant on buying I say just try them out.

First try, it worked just as well as the barber's as far as I could tell. Comfortable and worked fairly fast, though I'd still recommend taking your time. Being cordless helped when going around my head, and the guards come on and off easily when swapping and stay on during use. Still learning how to best use the taper lever, but very happy with the results. Recommend having someone else to the back/neck tapering if possible. Even though it is cordless, this is the area you're likely to struggle with most.

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!

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!

UPDATE 4/22/2023: Been about 3 1/2 years and this thing is still going strong. Staying nice and sharp. I've noticed getting my hair cut down the street that some of the barbers use these as well. If this breaks I'm definitely buying the exact same one again if it's still around. ____________________________ My main goal for my hair is just in beard/stubble trimming. I am not a professional and I don't cut my own hair. The goal for my trimmers is that they provide reasonably close trimming on the sensitive skin of my face, since I can't use a regular razor. Also, I want something that is quality, and I would rather spend more for something that lasts. My last requirement is that the trimmer be wireless. With that as the background: The first trimmer I ever bought worked surprisingly well for being so cheap, about $35. It was a ConairMAN HC1100R. Holds a charge well, powerful motor, close-enough shave for the neck area. Only problem is the mechanism for tapering the blade would break after months of going back and forth between neck and face (adjusting for longer length on the face). This caused the blade to become unstable, loud, and cut poorly. I've been through three of these things, and when my third one just broke in October of 2019 despite being purchased in February, I decided I needed to move on. In a hurry I purchased the Wahl 8290 which I have nothing bad to say about because I never used it. My genius self didn't bother to realize it's not cordless. I next jumped on the GOOLEEEN hair clippers, cordless, LED display, IPX7 waterproof, and advertised as "professional." Long story short, the motor sounds and feels weak, the cutting mechanism is half plastic, and the thing was immediately tugging out my hair even in already short and not very dense facial hair. After a bit more research, I decided to try the ConairMAN Super Stubble, also with a waterproof rating. This one has a pre-attached motorized guard that you can adjust digitally. I can't believe I spent $112 on this thing. The motor feels weak and cheap, and the whole unit feels a little cheap. The guard itself is a nice try at innovation but something about it made it take waaaay more passes to evenly cut my facial hair, like I've ever experienced before. And no matter how many passes I did take, it still never quite felt like I was done. Also, that tiny motor that adjusts the guard seems like it will be the first thing that breaks, which is crazy because one of the "features" of the device is that the motor automatically returns the guard to a preset length when you turn the device off, and then returns yet again to whatever length you were using previously once you turn it back on. Meaning there are a ton of unnecessary movements of the motor that are only going to ensure it's the first thing to go. The only positive thing I can say is that when you flip the guard back and just use the blade without the guard, you get a pretty close cut, so close it actually cut my skin a little bit but nothing terrible. After doing even more research, watching more youtube videos, etc., I finally landed on this, the Wahl 8148. At about $30 less than the Super Stubble, I'm very happy. I'd be happy even if it were the same price as the Super Stubble. The motor feels strong (though it seems to be comparably louder than some other nice professional models I saw reviewed). The unit feels sturdy, and the blades make quick and even work of my facial hair just like my first Conair. I also like that, unlike all the other models I tried, the tapering bar for the blade operates on a smooth gradient, not large clicking progressions. Meaning you can be extra meticulous in your blending which seems extra useful when you're working with hair that's overall short to begin with. You can operate cordless or plugged in. Some reviews complain there's more power when the unit is plugged in, but in my opinion that's a feature, not a flaw. This means the unit can utilized the extra draw from the wall that you probably can't get from a lithium ion battery alone, if you need that extra power for whatever reason. I expect this thing to easily provide years of reliable use and I will definitely be back to post an update if not.

So far so good with this clupper. it's a little bit heavy but the hair cutting is smooth and easy. Structural build for good gripping and good value the money.

You get what you pay for. I was done with buying the "TJ Maxx special" $20 clippers that would either fail mid-cut or result in me having to Bic the ol' noggin. These are pro-grade clippers, and you can tell because they are weighty and feel solid. I basically shave my whole head every 2-3 weeks, and these deliver perfectly with no fuss. Cordless is also a huge win so there's no cord distraction. Just remember to keep them clean! I use a tooth brush to remove hair after each use and then add a bit of clipper oil to the blades so they're ready for the next buzz. Highly recommend! Buying better is a great way to buy less.

Ottima macchinetta, del resto il marchio e una garanzia

I have been a barber for 35years. Wahl has always been my default choice of tools. I possess and have used Wahl clippers and Detailers all my professional life and I can state categorically that this is the best Clipper I have used by far. Great ergonomically. Light in weight for the power. Very sharp. They do cost but I feel are good value for money. I cannot recommend these Clippers enough.

I bought this brand new but it wouldn't charge. Wahl customer service wasn't brilliant - they said they would repair it if i sent it at my own expense to the US. Thankfully Amazon were great and helped me sort it but you don't expect brand new products to just not work. I googled the issue and there are forums and YouTube videos so i'm evidently not alone.

Not good
