Wahl Designer Clipper. I've been a barber for 18 years. Used Wahl and Andis exclusively. These cordless are the "cats meow".The Good.....They fit well in your hand and are a dream to hold. Battery life is over an hour. Charge is quick. Attachments are the normal plastic clip on kind, but they do actually work. Sound is pretty quite. Not as quiet as a Andis Chrome Master...but close.The Bad......Can't really say anything bad about these.I still use my corded Andis when I need to knock down hair to the scalp. Read more

I am a professional hairstylist/barber. These are pretty good clippers. Designer blades aren't as good as 5 star blades but i went with these because of the reviews of how light they are. Which is very true and I have noticed a huge difference in the pain in my wrist while blending clipper over comb. They also hold a charge really well. I do 20-30 haircuts a day and I only notice the battery dulling a little bit after over half the day.Things I dont like... These are pretty loud. Louder than I would like them to be and theres no charging dock. Which is extremely annoying. Seems like no big deal to some but in a professional fast paced salon its annoying to have to stop and get the cord and plug them in (which has a little resistance) and then keep going a long my way. All in all I like these clippers Read more

I purchased for in home use. I cut 3 boys hair for 3 years, and only use these around the sides of the head. The battery life is awesome for the first 27-30 haircuts. Then it diminishes significantly. It's practically useless after that. I've had it 3 years, for about 40 uses. The clippers will not run at normal speed, and will peter out after about 30 seconds of VERY low speed use. Sadly, using the CORD is not an option, as it doesn't improve the performance one iota! The cord must need a working battery to even function. It's not a separate power source. When I purchased these, I assumed if the battery wasn't up to par as described, I'd always have a cord to fall back on. Not so. It's got to be thrown away :( Warranty is one year. If you use it 40+ times in a year, you can have the manufacturer fix it. But for those of use who don't use it that often, I'm looking for another product with a longer life. Not worth it to me.

I've used this 4 times in the past month. So far, they work great. I oil the clippers after every cut, as the instructions tell you to do.I can't think of any cons. I used to use a corded Wahl model but I'll never go back after using this cordless. Before I purchased this I was considering the (cheaper) $30 cordless Wahl color, but people were complaining it was under-powered. Is it true? I'll never know. I don't own the Wahl color cordless, nor have I used it myself, but for the extra money I'm glad I bought the Professional Cordless. Perhaps the Wahl Color Pro's are good enough, as I've seen reviews on other merchant sites saying they are very good. Read more

So this is the second Wahl cordless designer clippers I purchased within the last year. I bought them first about 10 months ago and I needed to replace them already but I'm still giving 4 stars. The reason I had to replace them is because the charging port somehow got messed up and I can't get them to charge. But when they did charge, I loved them! I love that they are rapid recharge and they never died on me once! (Until the charge port messed up). I cut on average 15 to 20 haircuts a day and so the battery life and rapid recharge was fantastic. They are a little loud at first but they are so light weight that I literally cannot use any other clippers without it hurting my arm and or neck or back. I have been cutting hair for years now and last year I pinched a nerve in my back, these were the only clippers I could use. I am paying a little more now than before but it still beats the hell out of paying 200 or more for other cordless ones. I don't love love that I only got 10 months of use out of them but again for the price and how they saved my back, I'm not really that upset about it. I hope this helps! Read more

I have both the wahl designer and the Oster fast feed as shown in photo. I've done a comparison of them because they are about the same price. Both of these machines can get the job done, you don't need to spend a ton of money on machines.Wahl designer: Oster Fast Feed:•Plastic Body •Metal body•Body: 3.5/5 •Body: 5/5•Power: 4/5 •Power: 3.8/5•Battery Life: 5/5 •Corded•Zero gap: 5/5 •Zero gap: 2/5•Guards: 2/5 •Guards:3.8/5The designers has noticeably more power than the Oster, even though it's a cordless machine, that's impressive. The wahl guards aren't all that good. Read more

At first, I was very happy with this purchase. The battery worked for a long time, the power of the trimmer was great. After a while, the battery gave out completely. The trimmer still runs great, as long as it's plugged in. This means I have to use a long extension cord in order to use this, which defeats the whole purpose of a cordless clipper.I wanted a good product, and based on the other reviews Wahl seemed to have something good here. But sadly, it seems, my unit is defective. Your mileage may vary. Read more

I really love this clipper. I was torn between these and the magic clip. I’m a hair stylist and I do anywhere between 10-14 cuts a day and in between I charge them and they last me all day. They are super light weight so if you like a heavy clipper I wouldn’t recommend. I tried the magic clip and I felt the only difference was the blade. The magic clip has a crunch blade which is staggered so you get a more “blended” look. However if you know what you’re doing you can get a blended look with the blade on the designers. I felt as if these cut faster and cleaner through the hair than the magic clip as well. If you go with these they won’t disappoint! Read more
