Haircut Machines

[I.am.Sam]

Hello all

So since lockdown started i been cutting my hair zero all the time

now i bought a machine before but its broken a little and want to invest in something different now

I see so many different wahl devices but whats the difference other than prices.

Im looking at getting this

Wahl Color Coded Combo Clipper Kit 20 Piece - Clicks

clicks.co.za

some are wireless as well which would be better but then you have to worry after a while the battery is dead

what do you use ?

 

[pboy]

the one u want is good.
the wahl lithium cordless is essentially the same thing, just no cord ofcourse.
that's the one to get, but at almost twice the price maybe dragging a cord along ain't that bad.

yeah i saw the cordless is around R700

and then you get the pro ones for like r1500

im guessing the pro ones are for heavy duty use

I cut my hair twice a month , sometimes when im going out its once a week but now cos of covid its twice a month

Build your own,

I use a Wahl HomePro, tried and tested. No issue with their products. My grooming kit is a Philips, but I can't remember the model number as I am sitting here.

Mine is now around 8-9 years old. I oil the blades, keep it maintained. Still cuts like a pro.

my blade broke a little

cleaning and putting it back caused a little issue

I went through a few cheaper wahls and ended up buying what the barbers use. That all white Wahl multi cut at around 600.
Hasn't missed a beat in over 10yrs. Just oil and maintain and replaced blades once only in that time.
Still look new too actually.

You may get away with the cheaper wahls...

I use one of these...

Hairclipper Series 5000 Corded & Cordless Hair Clipper HC5450/83

Hairclipper Series 5000 Corded & Cordless Hair Clipper HC5450/83

www.karibaa.com

Had a couple of corded Wahls over the years but i found these to be sharper somehow. Wahl used to get stuck in thick hair. These just glide through. And decent battery life as well...

 

[I.am.Sam]

i bought the one for R320

if it lasts more than 3 months its money well invested

some haircut places charge more than the R320

Prefer the wired one and mine's been keeping on keeping on for years.

That looks like you're paying the premium for the small clippers. Not a bad deal 'tho... Was in Dischem yesterday and the basic, eight-piece clipper set is R160.

 

[Robocop]

They are well worth it. Can be used corded as well if you are worried about the battery runnig out in the middlebof a cut.

I wouldn’t buy a Wahl again.

The products don’t last and then the aftermarket support is shocking and basically blames you for it being broken.

But whatever you do buy wired or cordless with Lithium Ion and skip anything with an NiMH battery in.

Oddly I bought Dischem house brand Mondial for next to nothing and it’s the best one I’ve ever had.

This one.

Mondial Body Supper Groomer 10pcs

Incredibly good value and 1/3rd the price of the Wahl piece of crap I had before it that didn’t have half the attachments.

****

And I’m usually all about brand and getting what you pay for.

Risked it on this with the intention to simply return it if it sucks and it’s surpassed all expectations.

yeah paying more for colour but it also comes with a beard trimmer that doesnt come with the other sets
