Oster Professional Fast Feed Adjustable Pivot Motor Clippers - Professional Hair Clippers for Men & Barbers - Whisper Quiet & Built for Seamless Length Changes - Includes 3 Comb Guides, Guard & More

Relevant background: I have been cutting my own hair for the last 14 years. During that time I more or less settled on Wahl brand clippers. The problem is that the Walh clippers dulled relatively quickly, got clogged with hair easily and took many passes to get it right because of the inferior attachments and the attachments popping off. But for the price of 20-30 some bucks to replace every year or so, it was ok. However I've found the newer models of wahl clippers have used cheaper and flimsier attachments. The attachments got so cheap that if you pushed too hard on your head, the attachment would distort. Well that's exactly what happened. I mean can you at least not scrimp so bad that it defeats the purpose of the product? None the less, I tracked down a set of older and better made attachments and went to business as usual. To do a perfect job took me about 30 minutes to cut my hair because you have to make many passes from where the attachments push the hair down and where in general the clippers don't get unless you brush the clogged hair out for every 6 or so inches of hair cutting. If you've done this as much as I have, you know what I mean. I had enough, I flushed enough money down the toilet on Wahl. One day I got pissed and decided to invest a few extra bucks in my next set. I researched the models out there and this one came very highly recommended in the intermediate price range. I purchased it and have used it three times since I got it. It works great, it flys through the hair no problem and it does not clog with the cut hair. I can cut my hair in about 5 minutes instead of 30. The attachments are thin without being flimsy, so you don't have to go over the same place over and over. The attachments also slide on from the top/front end of the blade and lock into place so, no matter how hard you push on your head, the attachments will never pop off. I wish I got one of these years ago. The construction is way more solid that the walh brand. It is heavier and obviously has a better motor. The blades go through everything without a problem. This is a great clipper for someone like me who only uses it about once a month. People seemed to complaint about the noise- if you are that sensitive to sound then you have issues. You are literally pressing a buzzing motor against your head...you want it to not be loud? It does get hot like people say, so I would not recommend using it without attachments for more than 15 minutes without a break. I would not use it cut my dogs hair without letting it cool completely which may take awhile. My advice....get it

After I had 2 other hair clippers for years and they eventually failed or just started gouging my head instead of cutting it, I got this for $60 and it's the best money I've ever spent for a set of Hair clippers! They state what they mean! 1 cut passes EASY! And I have think hair and it cut it like it was nothing! Those blades are serious business and they don't cut your skin either. So if you want the bald cut you won't have ANY issues with these things! Probably will cut hair that is VERY long and you can make a person bald in 1 pass! Also the cut it so smooth you can actually have it grow in evenly and cleanly. I think it helps even stunt your hair a little because I've noticed the cut hasn't grown all that fast since my first cut with them a couple months ago! So if you're wanting a full head buzzed down short, this is a must buy! Just cut and forget! :D The clipper sizes are plastic but they aren't impressive either. I've gotten better ones but hey they do the trick. For the money you pay for these, they'll last you for over 20 years without fault. However you do need to maintain them, they require oil so you need to make sure to keep oil for them or the blades will dull out quickly. So keep this in mind. Also note since you need oil to use them, they do require some cleaning but it's not a major hassle. Just remove the blades with some screws and then clean out the hair stuck in the underside of the blade. (Or if you can, just take a brush and clean them out. Takes a bit more work doing that but it also avoids having to realign them afterwards also) Also note, don't put to much oil on them, first time use is ok but after that be sparse with it. They need oil but don't douse it, 1 drop is good enough basically because it's thin oil. Otherwise, I recommend these highly! Their claims are the real deal and they don't brag about it either.

I thought I would write a review after using this clipper to fade both mine and my sons hair for the past 7 years. This is a well made product that has held up to 3-4 haircuts per month for the past 7 years. I have not oiled it consistently and I probably should, but i have never had a problem over the years. I would estimate that I oil probably once every 3-4 months, and never had an issue. This is fairly quiet, makes a low drone sound compare do to a louder buzz that you will notice with cheaper clippers. I ended up buying additional guides from oster that are better constructed and have been using those over the plastic ones that came with the clipper. I like how the adjustable length lever is smooth all the way without click settings. I can easily slide it to adjust as necessary. It cuts close to skin, and I have never had a problem at all with any nicks or cuts on both mine and my sons hair. If I could offer any kind of improvement that could be made, it would be to change the adjustable lever to a different material other than plastic. I had an issue with mine where the screw that holds the plastic lever got loose. Over tightening the screw would lock the lever in place, and under tightening lets the blade adjust itself while cutting. There's a real small sweet spot that I found where if you tighten the screw enough it keeps the blade from moving while cutting while at the same time allowing you to adjust. If the lever were something other than plastic, or a different type of design, i think this would resolve the issue completely. The screw getting loose has happened 2-3 times over 7 years of use, so not that big of a deal for me and doesn't change my rating,

Ive been cutting my hair for many years now and Ive always used those cheaper 15-20 dollar clippers from walmart. Theyre not bad and they do the job decently. I couldnt see why it would be worth spending over twice as much on a set of clippers that do the same thing. Well let me tell you, Im so glad I bought these. The power alone is noticeable and it cuts a lot faster than any other set ive tried. They seem to have a little more adjustment range than my previous set. They also have a little clip where you can hang them if you want. The only negatives i can think of is that its a bit heavier than the other ones ive used before. Its no problem for me, but apparently the lighter the better for most barbers. Also the cutter/comb is a little crooked on mine. On the left side it looks closer to zero gap, and the right you can see the gap is a bit wider. But ill eventually zero gap them so that should take care of it. But it would be nice for them to be straight right out of the box. Other than that these are great clippers and they feel much durable than the cheaper big store ones.

Hello if ya'll don't know these Fast Feeds are amazing. They cut at a 000-1A ... I used them 2 weeks ago on myself and wow, they cut evenly and left me so crispy. (a good thing) My fade was legit. I did a bald fade. yup. fresh Amazon was fast and very professional. When I cut my hair the clippers didn't get hot AT ALL. When I cut my cousin's hair I noticed a lil more about the heat. These clippers don't start heating up until about 25+ minutes or so and even then they only get warm. Not too hot. Pros: Light in hand, arm doesn't get tired as fast. They are quiet and powerful. They can cut through both wet and dry hair. I thought I needed two of them but I cancelled one seeing as to how much of a quality clipper this is. MADE IN THE USA BABY! The only cons I have about these bad boys They don't come with a full set of attachments but you can always get those purple Andis magnetic guards.. Conclusion: I love these clippers. They are of high quality. ***Update 12/27/2015 - I have been using these on myself and on my friends to develop my skills. Some 400-500 hair cuts later, they still work great. I use these for precision blending, fading out to higher levels of cutting. Great tool. Only needed one after all. I have been using them for years and they only heat up if you don't lube em up right. I use Andis Cool Care spray while they're on to let the oil work itself in. I use em for like 30-45 minutes sometimes and then they start to warm up. If you're looking for a clipper to take out the bulk in a salon setting, use a different one. These can do it but I associate them with blending. I went a little crazy and bought two of these, two of the Limited Edition Chrome ones, and I just bought the Oster Topaz Fast Feeds... Next is going to be the black Oster Speed Line and blue Fast Feeds.

This will go through your hair like a hot knife through butter. It's very quiet, yet powerful. Blades are sharp, but not so close/sharp that you need worry about cutting yourself. It comes with a few attachments if you prefer a less than military appearance. The clippers have an adjustable gate on the blades for a slightly less than shaved look. Long cord is nice, also. Comes with oil and cleaning brush. Easy to maintain. Updated: I have also started using this to shave my face when I don't shave for a few weeks. It works so much better than my Norelco trimmer on longer facial hair. I still need to use the Norelco to get it down to stubble, but it only takes about 60 seconds to do so. If you're a bit of hairy guy (guilty), it can clear your chest hair off in a minute, as well. Some of the negative comments on here are atypical, I believe. I will say, this product won't take your hair to the scalp. I can't tell you how close it cuts, but I would imagine it's in the 1/16th to 1/32nd range. If you have a beard trimmer you can finish with that or even a razor would have no trouble at all after the Oster was finished. I don't know if one clipper can be all things to all people, but this is a great all purpose clipper. It won't make you bald, but it will indiscernibly close. It's quiet...for a clipper. It makes less noise than my Norelco trimmer. If you are shaving your head multiple times a week, you don't need these clippers. Any trimmer will do for that frequency. I have only had the Oster for six or so months and it has already paid for itself. Read the comments before your decide which clipper is right for your needs. This product gets 4-5 stars about 88% of the time. The negative reviews are typically from people that didn't do proper research on the inherent limitations of the product or just happened to have received a faulty item (it happens to every type of product and Amazon will take care of you if it does).

Ok many people will buy clippers and use them to just do a simple cut. Nothing special , just to trim a bit of the top and a little bit here. Now i've been going to a barber for many years, and I get a Taper hair cut which runs about 17 bucks. I bought this machine, AND YES WITH TIME AND PRACTICE ( AND A COUPLE OF MISTAKES !!!! ) iam now doing the exact same thing my barber was doing. This Oster Fast feed is amazing. for example on the back of my head. I do 1/16, than a 1/8, towards the middle i leave it at 1/4, maybe a little open with the lever, AND DOES THIS MACHINE BLEND. it leaves a perfect taper. Same goes for the side. now to outline thats a different story n u need a different machine ( andis t outline).... Iam amazed how well this machine blends. I now cut friends hair and its unbelievable the results this machine gives off. Its a money saver. The best part is that when u get a hair cut , after a week and a half, it stars to fade out, or get a little messy. With the oster fast feeds u are always FRESH. I bought it becasue my barber had the oster 76 classic, which u raelly dont need because that is basicly the same as the fast feed, except u can cut more times a day. I dont think a fast feed would make it through a day of cutting 15 + plus customers a day. ( it is basically only to tape up/ fade/ blend) but since iam the only one using it i use it for everything. The motor is great, runs smooth n quite, however its not a strong machine, but i think this is great because thats what allow to blend... GREAT PRODUCT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Like most people, I spent weeks researching hair clippers before deciding to buy this. I was going back and forth between these clippers and the Oster Classic 76. I decided to go with these because as one reviewer mentioned, the Classic 76 was a bit big and heavy which made it difficult to cut your own hair, which is what I was planning on doing. I received the clippers and the 10-piece recommended comb set and ran to the bathroom to get to work. I put on the 1 1/4" comb and got to work. I ran it through my hair, but there was no sound of cutting. I thought that maybe my hair wasn't as long as I thought, so I put on the 1" comb. Still, very little cutting. Finally I put on the 7/8" comb and saw a little bit of results, but nothing like I expected from the previous reviews. I've concluded that the reason for the poor results it that my hair is very fine. Don't confuse this with thinning hair. Mine is the kind that if there's no hair gel in it, it flops around in the slightest breeze. If I had to guess the length of my hair at the time of cutting it, it was 1 1/2" at the shortest but more probably 2" long. The problem is that as I ran the clippers through my hair, my hair would just fall down and not get cut. I tried cutting with both dry hair and wet hair with the same disappointing results. Additionally, I have a cowlick on the top of my head towards the back that spirals my hair down, which became really difficult to cut because I would have to angle the clippers in the opposite direction of the hair's growth. You can imagine the sight as I tried to steer the clippers using a mirror to see. These clippers do seem well made, and they probably cut most hair very well, but they did not work well with my hair. I don't know if the Classic 76 can do a better job, but if you have fine hair, you might be better off paying for a real haircut.

Había estado utilizando clippers de marca Wahl pero siempre su duración ha sido muy corta y son ruidosas; la Oster no es tan ruidosa y corta muy bien. Habrá que esperar la duración, pero se ve mucho más fuerte y mejor construida. Es casi profesional. Su único problema es que se calienta muy rápido, tal vez unos diez minutos trabajando y ya es incómoda para la persona que está recibiendo el corte. Punto a mejorar. A mi me gustó mucho la máquina.

Used for the first time today with much anticipation. I was impressed. Doesn't quite cut right down to the scalp on 0 setting as well as my Wahl's, however it is very very minimal difference, but the way they cut is so much better. Feel like it is made really well. Cutting blade didn't snag, pull or struggle once and that was even with cutting 3 weeks hair growth. Glad I paid the extra for these as they cut really well.

***My review down below was when we first purchased the clipper. Its been ten months since we had it now and it is fantastic!*** We are a family of seven, with four males. We use clippers quite often in our household. As you can imagine, any set of clippers would get a very good work out in our house. We have used Conair brands for a longtime. They function ok for the price. However when our six year old Conair (which is heavy - made it feel like a quality product, powerful and noisy) was giving us problems we bought another brand by Emerson. All I will say you get what you pay for! So we looked for another Conair and could not find one that had the same quality. I googled best clippers and came across this Oster 76023. The reviews of it were glowing. I also remember that many barbers I went to, when I was younger used Oster brand. I figured it must be quality. So through Amazon.ca I ordered one. When we received it I opened up the box to get a feel of it. It felt "heavy" not cheap and plasticky. And by heavy I also mean quality. It felt natural in my hands. When I plugged it in and started it up I was expecting it be loud. However, this unit is extremely quiet when compared to other clippers. In my mind I thought it was another cheap one. Boy was I wrong. I immediately began to cut my 17 year olds hair. Now his hair was about an 1 1/2" long. This clipper had no problem cutting it, even though the longest comb that comes with it is 1/2". I then cut my 13 year olds hair which was a lot shorter and no issue. No pulling the hair either. I then cut mine. It cut it very well. I am totally impressed by this clipper. Three back to back hair cuts and no issues. I highly recommend this clipper. The only downfall is that it does not come with longer combs than 1/2", but that is how Oster sells it. An added bonus which won me over even more, is that this clipper says "MADE IN THE USA". To me "Made in USA or Made in Canada" means quality.

Expensive but worth it. After years of using well known domestic clippers I have at last found quality in Oster. Cut better, quicker, and cleaner.

I use these for simple brush cuts on myself every 6-9 weeks. I upgraded to these after using a pair of cheap Conair clippers for about 15 years. In comparison, these are much more powerful and almost impossible to jam. Also, the Fast Feeds only require about 3 passes to catch all the stray hairs on my head, whereas I had to make 6-7 passes with the cheap clippers that I used for many years. So these take about half of the time. The Fast Feeds also have an ~8' cord that is less constraining than the 6' cord on the cheap clippers. I also considered the Classic 76, since they are known to last for 35+ years and are designed for bulk cutting (which is the only type of cutting I do at the moment). I decided not to for a few reasons: 1. The 76's reportedly get hot when you use them for too long. My cuts take awhile since I cut my own hair and have to make multiple slow passes in comparison to a barber who would have . 2. Their maintenance on the 76 is more complicated than the Fast Feeds. 3. The Fast Feeds are more versatile. I might change to a more complicated style in a few years if/when I start getting bald, making the Fast Feeds a better choice. 4. Fast Feeds are less than half the price of the 76's. Therefore, I don't think the 76's make sense for DIY cuts from a cost-benefit standpoint unless you're cutting multiple people's hair. If you're a barber, or a father with All in all, I'm extremely happy with these for performing simple brush cuts on myself. They make my haircuts very quick and they don't pull.
