The best professional hair clippers

MOSER 1884-0050 Li + Pro

Rating: 4.9

An almost ideal representative of our rating, the shortcomings of which I do not want to notice at all. It is a durable product that has been able to work daily in a hairdressing salon for many years. It also cools your hand pleasantly. It is difficult to say what exactly the case was made of, but it is very similar to the aluminum one. There is nothing superfluous on it. Only the manufacturer's logo and three LED strips indicating the charge level. By the way, you will have to use the charger relatively rarely – the manufacturer promises 75 minutes of battery life. Against this background, it is not at all surprising that 12 thousand rubles are asked for this model. Such a product must be expensive, nothing can be done about it.

This machine has a number of advantages, which are not always written about on its price tag. For example, how do you like a charging time that does not exceed 50 minutes? This is great news for the owner of a hairdressing salon, because the device can be charged literally in one worker's lunch break. Another important advantage is its high power. The motor used here produces 5200 rpm. It is ideal for trimming even oily hair.

If we talk about the main duties of the machine, then it copes with them perfectly. How else, if the device comes with a lot of attachments? If you need a short haircut, then you can work without them, because the length of the knife is adjustable here (within the range from 0.7 to 3 mm). The longest of the nozzles present here is 25 mm.

Perhaps this is a great option for any hairdressing salon. You can find fault with the machine only because of the weight. Some people would like a lightweight product, but the 265g Moser 1884-0050 is not exactly that.

Advantages

• There is a charge and oil indicator;
• A large number of attachments;
• The length of the knife can be adjusted;
• Low volume level;
• Fast charging;
• Decent battery life
• Network operation possible;
• Powerful and high-speed motor;
• Attractive design.

disadvantages

• There is no cover or case included;
• High price;
• Sufficient weight.

Oster C200

Rating: 4.8

Another very expensive product. But it has a much more familiar design. You can't tell from it that they are asking for about 13 thousand rubles for this machine.

This product has several advantages over the model discussed above. For example, its battery provides 120 minutes of battery life. It seems that even in a hairdressing salon, the typewriter will need to recharge only once a day. This means that the ability to work from the network will come in handy only because of the forgetfulness of the hairdresser.

This model has a very powerful electric motor. Its rotation speed reaches 4200 rpm. With this parameter, any hair is cut with extraordinary ease, even very thick and oily. The device is also capable of boasting a large number of length adjustments. Thirty, to be exact! The range from 0.5 to 2.6 mm is provided by a knife, the length of which is adjusted by a slight movement of the fingers. The remaining lengths are provided by the six attachments included in the kit. And in the box with the device there will be a cleaning brush and oil. The only pity is that the product did not receive an indication of the latter, the manufacturer decided to save on this by investing money instead in a battery and a motor.

This device will provide haircut lengths from 0.5 to 19 mm. To recharge it, a proprietary stand is used, made in the colors of the body of the machine itself. A storage case is also supplied with the device. If they either throw it away or lose it in a hairdresser, then in the case of buying a device for home use this is an important advantage.

Advantages

• A powerful engine is used;
• Very long battery life;
• Supplied with a case;
• An adjustable knife is used;
• A large number of attachments included;
• Not particularly noisy work.

disadvantages

• High price;
• Makes not the smoothest edging;
• Some specimens vibrate too much;
• The battery level cannot be found.

Wahl 8147-016 Legend

Rating: 4.7

And this is already a device for relatively small hairdressing salons, whose services are rarely used. The purchase of this machine will cost only 7-8 thousand rubles. For this money, you will receive a professional device, the blades of which are made of stainless steel. Like its predecessors, the Wahl 8147-016 has a length adjuster. And only if the client requires long enough hair, attachments come to the rescue. The largest of these provides a 25mm haircut.

Inside this device is an extremely powerful motor. At idle speed, it provides 6000 rpm. This must be a record figure in this ranking! However, such an engine weighs a lot, which will definitely upset someone. The scale under the hair clipper reads 620 g. Another reason to refuse the device for those who are going to wield it throughout the working day.

Many of our selection are battery powered. As for the Wahl product, there is no battery in it. Fortunately, the device has a four-meter network cable, so connecting to the network does not bring any particular inconvenience.

The device comes not only with almost a record number of attachments, but also with a certain amount of oil. The box should also contain a cleaning brush and a protective cover. There is no cover or case, but this is explained by the fact that due to the lack of a built-in battery, this machine cannot be called portable.

Advantages

• Excellent 40mm stainless steel knife;
• Long power cord;
• The kit includes eight attachments;
• There is a knife length regulator;
• The cost is not very high.

disadvantages

• Very heavy weight;
• Can't run on battery power;
• Excessive vibration is possible.

Philips HC9490 Series 9000

Rating: 4.6

Philips household appliances often receive a number of modern technologies that are not typical for such devices. For example, the HC9490 hair clipper includes not only the usual blades, but also a display, albeit quite small. With its help, the display of the battery charge level and the selected haircut length is realized. Already just because of this display, you can pay those 9 thousand rubles that are asked for this model.

It should be noted that the screen is not the only advantage of the machine over its competitors. Also, the buyer can be pleased with the material from which the blades are made. It is lightweight, strong and durable titanium. Another important advantage is the huge number of length settings, equal to four hundred. The minimum haircut length is 0.5 mm. As much as possible, you can get a haircut in which the hair length will be 42 mm. All these figures are achieved using the appropriate regulator on the body and changing nozzles. Only three!

The width of the knife used here is 41 mm. The device is powered by a very powerful motor. And the battery, of course. Very, I must say, capacious. Measurements show that the charge dries up only 180 minutes after starting work. This is, of course, in ideal conditions, when the engine does not need to strain at all. I am glad that the charging time is only 1 hour. You can have time to replenish the battery during your lunch break!

What else can this professional device boast about? Self-sharpening of the blades used here. The function of storing three length settings for each accessory. Full turbo mode. Well, and a good bundle, which includes a case and a charging stand. It's also a rare clipper that comes with a two-year warranty.

You might think that this is the perfect device. In fact, the device still has certain disadvantages. For example, the attachments used here quickly become clogged with hair, which requires regular interruptions to clean them. The bad border design is even more distressing. Well, one cannot fail to note the excessively high noise level.

Advantages

• Good equipment;
• Charges quickly;
• Fits comfortably in the hand;
• There is a display;
• Long battery life;
• Blades are made of titanium;
• A huge number of haircut length settings;
• The length of the knife can be adjusted;
• Extended warranty period.

disadvantages

• Decent noise level;
• Hair regularly clogs into the attachment and under the blade;
• Poor edging;
• The case holds only a machine with one attachment;
• High price.

Andis MV-P

Rating: 4.5

Another copy for professional use. And very much, I must say, dear. If you want to buy it, you will have to spend 15 thousand rubles. At the same time, you will not even be able to work with this device without a network connection, because it simply does not have a battery. It is possible that it is for the best.

The device has an ergonomic body, on which there is nothing superfluous. Somewhere underneath it hides a rotary engine that can serve for years and even decades. However, its main advantage is not this, but the minimum vibration. This means that the hand of the hairdresser will not get tired even after the hardest working day. The product also has a hanging loop. A small structural element that not everyone will pay attention to, namely, it is the best evidence of the purpose of the machine.

The Andis MV-P box contains eight attachments. Also, the length of the haircut can be changed using an adjustable knife. And this is one of the few models that allows you to leave hair at a length of 0.2 mm. In total, nine length settings are available to the owner of this machine.

In fact, this device is quite inferior to competitors selling for the same money. This must be why the machine is hardly in demand. Because of this, it is difficult to identify the flaws of the device, because there are practically no reviews on the network on it.

Advantages

• An adjustable knife is used;
• The kit contains numerous attachments;
• Excellent rotary engine;
• There is a loop for hanging;
• The minimum haircut length is only 0.2 mm.

disadvantages

• Not too many length settings;
• Works only on mains;
• Very high cost.

The best hair clippers in terms of price-quality ratio

MOSER 1661-0460 TrendCut Li +

Rating: 4.9

Our rating must be continued by devices that are affordable for most Russians. For example, for MOSER 1661-0460 TrendCut Li + they ask for about 4 thousand rubles, and during sales this machine can be bought even cheaper. This device, as the name implies, is powered by a lithium-ion battery. If the battery runs out, then the cutting process can be continued by connecting the device to the mains. This is good, as it would take four hours to wait for a full charge. This is the main problem with all budget hair clippers – they take too long to charge.

The manufacturer promises about 100 minutes of battery life. In fact, of course, everything will depend on the intensity of the use of the device and what kind of hair will be cut. However, the result will be good in any case. This device is powered by a 6400 rpm motor. The manufacturer tried to reduce its weight, as a result of which the machine itself turned out to be very light. Hopefully this was done without sacrificing durability.

The blades in this device are made of stainless steel. The knife width is equal to the standard 40 mm. The length of the knife can be adjusted. If a long haircut is expected, then six attachments supplied in the kit will come to the rescue. The box with the device also contains scissors and a comb. It is difficult to say whether they will be useful to the buyer, but they certainly will not become superfluous. The manufacturer did not forget about the oil that needs to be lubricated after each haircut. Also, a cleaning brush and a case are supplied with the machine. In a word, not a bad set!

This device will not provide an incredibly short haircut. More specifically, it supports haircut lengths from 0.7 to 25 mm. However, this shortcoming can be forgiven. Especially against the background of how easily the machine cuts even very lush hair. It is not for nothing that many hairdressers recommend this model to their relatives and friends. This, of course, is not a professional product, but it will definitely suit an ordinary home user.

Advantages

• The weight of the machine does not exceed 190 g;
• There is a charging indicator;
• Low cost;
• Decent battery life
• There is a haircut length regulator;
• Copes well even with oily hair;
• Low vibration;
• Supplied with storage case.

disadvantages

• Not a very large number of haircut length settings;
• Long charging time.

Philips HC5450 Series 5000

Rating: 4.8

This must be a hair clipper with the most unusual appearance. The device seems to have come to us from the future. This makes it the best choice for a person who only buys appliances with a modern design. And the device is also capable of boasting a low cost. In Russian stores it is sold for only 3 thousand rubles. And he seems to be working them out completely.

This machine uses blades made of titanium. They are self-sharpening, so in theory, the device can serve its owner for several decades. But the manufacturer does not claim this, it provides a standard warranty period.

The main advantage of this model is the modern battery. It only takes one hour to charge! Nothing bad can be said about the battery life, which sometimes reaches 90 minutes. However, the battery is not very heavy. The scales under the clipper itself read 388 g. As you already know, there are even heavier ones!

If the charge is over, and it is urgently necessary to continue working, you can connect the device to the mains. With the help of such a machine, you can carry out a wide variety of haircuts. In total, the product supports 24 length settings. And this is if there is only one nozzle here! More precisely, the device offers a haircut from 0.5 to 23 mm.

One nozzle is actually a blessing. Many people have come across the fact that the attachments for their typewriters were lost somewhere, because of which they had to buy a new device or order accessories from some online store. Here, the possibility of losing nozzles is simply excluded!

This device has one more feature. Your Philips clipper requires no lubrication! It will definitely save you some time. Cleaning the device is as simple as possible, it can be done even under water. It should also be noted that there is a turbo mode here, which is by no means available in every budget hair clipper.

Price aggregators delight with hundreds of reviews on the Philips HC5450. This indicates a huge demand for this model. People love almost all of its characteristics. And only owners of sufficiently oily hair complain that the product is clogged with hair. Alas, this is a constructive feature that cannot be fought against.

Advantages

• Easy setting of the length of the haircut by means of the regulator;
• Very low cost;
• Fast charging;
• Decent battery life
• The product fits comfortably in the hand;
• Good titanium blades;
• The device does not require lubrication;
• Turbo mode is available.

disadvantages

• The machine is heavily clogged with hair;
• Wouldn't hurt a case;
• There is no charge indicator.

GA.MA GC 585

Rating: 4.7

This hair clipper costs about 3 thousand rubles. The price tag unequivocally hints that it is unlikely that you should expect impressive opportunities from it. However, in fact, the device has a number of features that set it apart from competitors. For example, there is a segment display, thanks to which you can instantly check the battery level. It is also a rare device that has received ceramic blades. However, now a variety of materials are used for their production. You can argue about which one is better until you lose your pulse, and not come to any conclusion.

The manufacturer assures that his creation is perfect not only for traditional haircuts, but also for treating mustaches and beards. Indeed, the corresponding attachments are found in the box. In total, the buyer will get six different attachments. As for the number of length settings, it is not impressive – there are only seven options available.

Like many other representatives of our review, GA.MA GC 585 can work both autonomously and from the mains. You should not count on a record length of a haircut with the help of the built-in battery, but it cannot be called insufficient. The same words can be said for charging times.

The box with the device contains not only attachments. Most of the space here is occupied by the charging stand. The buyer will also receive a small container of oil. You need to lubricate the blades after each haircut, in which case the device will last a very long time. Well, a comb, scissors and a brush for cleaning can be considered pleasant bonuses.

If you read the reviews, you get the impression that this is the best option for home use. But you can understand that there are defective copies on sale. They discharge very quickly, doing so in a matter of minutes. Therefore, try to check your copy immediately after purchase. And this certainly makes the device not the best option for a gift.

Advantages

• Charging takes a little over an hour;
• You can trim your beard and mustache;
• The kit contains everything you need;
• Very low cost;
• Shows the battery level;
• Quality ceramic blades.

disadvantages

• There are copies with a defective battery;
• Increased friction with the scalp.

Braun HC 5030

Rating: 4.6

This machine differs in that its body is painted blue. A good contrast to the competition, usually black or white! An advantage against the background of even cheaper analogs is a convenient regulator with which you can quickly change the length of the haircut. A total of 17 settings are available to the user: from 3 to 35 mm. Of course, the greatest length is achieved with a separate attachment.

The device operates on mains or battery power. Unfortunately, for the sake of economy, the manufacturer built an outdated battery into the Braun HC 5030. It takes eight hours to fully charge it! Any professional hairdresser will be shocked by this. The operating time from a full charge is also not encouraging, it does not exceed 50 minutes. Fortunately, these are the only major drawbacks of the device.

Like all clippers, the Braun HC 5030 is not afraid of washing under water. This is how the device is cleansed of the ubiquitous hair. You can also use the included cleaning brush for this. After the end of the process, you need to drop a little oil on the blades, which is also in the box with the machine.

This device has a built-in Memory SafetyLock system. This means that he knows how to remember the last used setting. This should be to please those who prefer to keep the same haircut all the time.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then the lack of blade adjustment is a little upsetting. Because of this, it is almost impossible to make a contour; you will have to carefully work with scissors. And in general, this model cuts badly enough if it is not equipped with a nozzle. And there are also questions about durability, for some people the device broke down immediately after the end of the warranty period. It should be noted also the absence of a case, which would simplify the storage of the device and all its accessories.

Advantages

• Large number of length settings;
• Low cost;
• There is a charging indicator;
• The Memory SafetyLock system has been implemented;
• Small size and minimum weight.

disadvantages

• An especially short haircut is unattainable;
• Works very poorly without a nozzle;
• The device cannot be called durable;
• There is a bad battery inside.

Panasonic ER1410

Rating: 4.5

Another inexpensive hair clipper. This model is made by the Japanese company Panasonic, known for a huge number of small household appliances. The device does not have a knife length adjustment, and therefore you will have to use different attachments. And, I must say, there are very few of them. More specifically, there are only three attachments in the box with the device. Through simple manipulations, it provides only six length settings: from 3 to 18 mm. Not much, but should be enough for home use.

The operation of this model is provided by a battery. And very good! In most cases, a full charge is enough for an hour of operation, and at idle, 80 minutes are achievable. But more importantly, the charging time is only one hour. And the battery does not have a memory effect, as it was created using lithium-ion technology. When the charge comes to an end, work can still be continued using a wired connection to the mains. This is also important, until now not every cheap hair clipper is capable of providing such an opportunity.

The device includes a charging indicator. As for the engine, it has a speed of 7000 rpm. This allows you to hope for a very quick haircut.

Alas, the Panasonic ER1410 also has some serious drawbacks. This model has poor quality knives. If you use the device as regularly as possible, the knives become dull very quickly. And changing the knife block is not a quick matter. Not to mention the fact that it still needs to be bought somewhere. The rest of the device is well worth the money spent on it. If the machine were also equipped with a cover …

Advantages

• Extremely powerful motor;
• Fast charging;
• Decent battery life
• Low cost;
• There is a charging indicator;
• Fits well in the hand.

disadvantages

• No case;
• Knives can become dull quickly enough;
• The minimum number of length settings;
• There is no knife length regulator.

Best inexpensive hair clippers

Philips QC5130 Series 3000

Rating: 4.9

A large number of hair clippers and electric shavers are produced under the Philips brand. They are all divided into different series. For example, the QC5130 belongs to the 3000th line, the most budgetary and low-functional. However, this does not mean that she is not at all worthy of the money spent. In addition, they ask for only 2 thousand rubles, and sometimes less.

This model includes simple stainless steel blades. They will definitely last several years if only one or two people use the machine. The product also has a built-in battery that provides 60 minutes of autonomous operation. Unfortunately, it is made using a very old technology, and therefore the device will take a long time to charge. A very long time, about eight hours. This makes it not the best choice for any hairdressing salon, even with the ability to work from the network.

First of all, this model is designed for haircuts for children. This is stated by the manufacturer himself. His creation is able to provide a haircut from 0.5 to 21 mm. A total of eleven length settings are provided. It's nice that with the purchase of Philips QC5130, you no longer have to remember exactly where all the attachments are located. The fact is that this device uses only one nozzle, and the choice of the length of the haircut is carried out by means of a regulator. Conveniently!

The set of the device is not very rich. Perhaps, only the presence of a brush for cleaning can be noted. It will come in handy, since it is not recommended to wash the product under water.

It should be noted that the machine is very ergonomic. As for the shortcomings, first of all, attention is drawn to the presence of defective copies on sale. Some buyers unsubscribed that the battery was out of order already on the second haircut. Therefore, after purchasing, be sure to thoroughly check the product. Also, the product has the traditional problem with fast hair build-up.

Advantages

• Perfectly cuts without a nozzle;
• Very low cost;
• There is a charging indicator;
• Pleasant appearance and ergonomic shape;
• Good blades made of stainless steel;
• There is a haircut length adjustment.

disadvantages

• There are copies with a defective battery;
• Long charging;
• Not very rich equipment.

MOSER 1400-0451 Edition

Rating: 4.8

Another very cheap copy. The machine for sale for 1,800 rubles has the usual blades, for the creation of which stainless steel was used. Also, the device received a good engine, the speed of which can reach 6000 rpm. In this case, it receives power from the mains. The heavy weight of the machine is a little disappointing. Not everyone will want to hold a 520 gram device in their hand for a long time. And why is it so heavy? It doesn't even have a battery.

Despite its amateur status, the product received a hanging loop. It seems that 99% of buyers will not use it for its intended purpose. Also, the device has one nozzle. Yes, just one. But the regulator allows you to change the length of the haircut in the range of 0.7 to 18 mm, so there will be no problems.

Oddly enough, this model has one significant difference from all the other machines considered in this review. The device boasts a very wide knife. This speeds up the clipping process slightly.

Complete with the device you will receive oil and a cutting brush. In a word, a standard set. There is no case, case, or anything like that. However, you can store a typewriter at home without such an accessory.

Advantages

• Very low cost;
• You can adjust the length of the haircut;
• A powerful motor is used;
• Knife width increased to 46 mm;
• Quality stainless steel blades.

disadvantages

• It is not very convenient to use the adjustable nozzle;
• Perceptible vibration;
• A two-meter wire length may not be enough;
• The complete set will not suit everyone;
• Weight is 520g.

Remington HC5035 ColourCut

Rating: 4.7

This hair clipper has a glossy white painted body. It is made, of course, of plastic. As for the blades, stainless steel was used to create them. And of sufficient quality, when using the machine at home, the blades practically do not dull throughout the entire operation.

This model got its name from the attachments. They are made of plastic in all colors of the rainbow. This is done, among other things, so that the owner quickly remembers the shape of the nozzle with the length he needs. By the way, the product offers a total of 14 lengths. The choice is made not only by changing the nozzle, but also by means of a regulator. The minimum achievable haircut is 0.5 mm. The longest hair that can be left will be 25mm. Not bad, a rare budget clipper provides that range.

This device has one major drawback. It does not have a built-in battery. This means that you will have to connect the device to the outlet, and only then start cutting. Well, for that kind of money it is quite possible to put up with it.

The rest of the clipper is nothing special. Complete with it, you will receive the usual little things. For example, a box contains simple scissors, a cleaning brush and a comb. Of the unusual, only a neck bristle can be noted.

Advantages

• Very low cost;
• A large number of attachments in different colors;
• Quite a large number of length settings;
• Good stainless steel blades;
• Weight cannot be called prohibitive;
• Quiet work.

disadvantages

• No cover;
• Works only from the mains;
• The wire may seem too short;
• Cannot be cleaned underwater.

Panasonic ER131

Rating: 4.6

Another simple hair clipper. It will come in handy at a time when the family budget is experiencing some problems. This device has a glossy plastic case. I am glad that it is painted white, otherwise dust would be clearly visible on it, not to mention the gradually appearing scratches. The shape of the device is ergonomic, there are no problems in this regard.

The simplest battery is hidden inside the machine. Its full charge lasts only 40 minutes of battery life. You will have to charge the device after each haircut. However, operation from the network is also possible here, so completely unexpected problems are excluded. By the way, the battery is charged in 8 hours. Horror, but almost all the cheapest hair clippers have this problem.

The work of this model is provided by a sufficiently powerful engine. Its speed is 6300 rpm. The device also includes blades made of stainless steel. Unfortunately, the length of the knife cannot be adjusted here, so the length of the cut depends solely on the chosen attachment. There are two of them in the kit, each of the nozzles is double-sided. It turns out that the owner of the machine has access to haircuts in lengths of 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm. Not a very large range, it must be admitted.

There is nothing interesting in the set with the machine. In fact, only oil and a comb can be noted. I am glad that lubricating the blades is very easy, it does not take much time. The only sad thing is that the device cannot be washed under water. But this would greatly speed up the cleaning process.

Advantages

• Extremely low cost;
• Battery operation possible;
• Ergonomic shape;
• The power supply has a long cord;
• Powerful motor;
• There is a charging indicator;
• Good stainless steel blades.

disadvantages

• Not very long battery life;
• Long charging time;
• Cutting without a nozzle is not recommended;
• Do not make a particularly long haircut;
• Poor equipment.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best hair clippers. In this review, we tried to talk about a wide variety of models. Some are intended exclusively for home use, while others will suit even professionals who work in hairdressing salons. You just have to make a choice, focusing on what shortcomings you agree to put up with. Or with how much money you agree to give.
