Self Cut Pro

This is a great kit for those interested in cutting their own hair. The SmartCut design of this particular clipper set really makes a difference in the handling of the blades. Prior to purchasing this kit I would usually have my hair cut short for simple styling purposes. And now after having this clipper kit I was able to cut my own hair for the first time ever in about 7 minutes. The clippers charge fast via USB (15 minutes for a quick charge) and would be ideal for those who are on the go for work.

It is very satisfying to find a manufacturer who genuinely cares about all aspects of their product. This is my first haircutting kit and I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. To start off with, I am very particular about packaging, and it is evident that Wahl also cares about this. The clipper comes in a sturdy, cleanly branded cardboard box sealed with a Wahl sticker, so you know that it is new. Inside is the well-designed, functional plastic carrying case holding the easy-to-read instructions, the clipper, attachments, cleaning brushes and oil, two combs, and a pair of scissors that work very well. I will continue to keep the clipper and all accessories inside the plastic carrying case that I will put back in the sturdy, rectangular-shaped box after each use to keep everything together and for ease of storage. They advertised this model as being quiet, which is one of the main reasons I selected it. And it is in fact noticeably quiet. I received this product yesterday and we used it today. This was my first ever home haircut and the first time my wife has used a clipper. Its ergonomic design, solid build, and balanced weight clearly prove it is high quality. It was a lot easier to use than either of us thought it would be. And I was very satisfied with the outcome! We errored on the side of caution and decided to use only the #8 attachment and scissors to start with. That is all we needed! Wahl, thank you for taking pride in your products! I highly recommend this Wahl Clipper kit. Extremely high quality at a very reasonable price.

The clippers themselves are very good. They seem sturdy, run smoothly, feel good in the hand, work well at their intended design of cutting your own hair, charge quickly, last a long time, and don't make much noise. They're not as quiet as the high-end clippers that barbers use, but I've probably used a dozen different models of clippers over the years and these are among the quietest. That said, it's really *just* the clippers that are good in this set. The guards are OK but they don't seem the sturdiest or most durable. The comb, brushes, and scissors included are as cheapo as it gets. The case is absolutely next-level cheap plastic, the kind that shatters if you look at it wrong. Mine arrived already cracked and falling apart, so I just threw it away. Packaging is also very bad - I thought I'd mistakenly gotten a return or a refurb in a plain paper-thin brown box until I realized that no, that's actually how Wahl thinks their product should look. This kit first hit my radar a few years ago when it came out new for a hundred bucks. I would have been really dissatisfied with it for that price. Over the years, though, it eventually went on sale for a third of that, and that feels like a pretty reasonable price for what I got.

Works great gives a nice professional cut

I’ve been cutting my own hair for years. This unit really makes the job much easier. I feel really good about this purchase.

Hopefully these continue to perform well. I initially tried the Wahl Multi-Purpose that I got from a large retailer when the pandemic shutdown started. That one worked real well at first, but the detachable blade became loose and wouldn't stay on properly so I had to return and search for another option. The Wahl Self Cut Pro is a similar size, but with a different motor and a taper lever added. The Multi-Purpose has a rotary motor which is fast and cut on the first pass while the Self Cut Pro has a pivot motor that requires more than one pass to get the same result. Pivot motors are powerful but move the blades slower than a rotary motor, and better than standard magnetic clipper motors. I found that an advantage with the Self Cut Pro because while it required a few passes to cut over one spot, it also allowed blending or correcting mistakes to be easier since you don't cut all the hair on the first pass. This is my personal preference but may not be what you like. Research clipper motor types and buy a set of clippers based on your preference since the motor is what basically differentiates most clippers. The Self Cut Pro was powerful enough so that did not snag or pull my hair and had no trouble making a clean cut with a few passes. Just understand that it likely won't cut everything on the first pass and you should be fine. The ergonomics are real good since it is fairly small and it is easy to maneuver when cutting your own hair. Not much vibration and motor is rather quiet compared to other clippers I've experienced. The only drawbacks I found were minor in my opinion. The industrial strength cord is long but somewhat awkward. It is thicker than my vacuum cleaner cord so not sure what the reason is for that. The case is not very sturdy, very lightweight plastic. I'm probably going to shift to some other sort of storage container eventually. Otherwise, really good clippers.

I only purchased these because it happened to be the most economical clipper that came with a lever and the often-omitted 1-1/2 guard. But I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality and performance of it, especially at this price point. The smaller form factor gives you a lot more control and nuance when blending fades on your own head; a bigger clipper will cut more and thus be faster, but increase the chance of a mistake. The blades are sharp and cut close out of the box. The motor has this bassy low-end rumbling sound, but it's not very loud and not at all annoying. Perhaps most importantly is that it does not get hot to the touch even during long sessions. The downsides? There is only one that I can think of. The wire to plug it in is thick and doesn't always lend itself to being easy to maneuver; you might have to reposition it at times to get it out of the way -- the other side of this is that the machine can draw more power from the wall without heating up the wire or the motor.

After unboxing, found out that the product was already used and dirty. Scratches were visible and the motor of the clipper was very noisy. For sure the motor inside was also defective.

Just incredible performance. Glides through even thick hair with ease and evenly cuts whole sections with 1 pass. I cut the sides of my head to a 0, and it's so perfectly uniform even at that length. It only took one pass to get that length, and my hair grows very thick. The ergonomics on this thing are perfect as well. You can cut from any angle, anywhere around your head, and it remains easy to hold. I never felt I couldn't get to part of my hair because I couldn't reach. I used to use a cheaper set of consumer clippers, which took forever to get through my relatively thick hair. It would take me at least an hour to cut my hair, doing multiple passes over sections that it couldn't get through quickly. Even once I was done it wasn't very even, it was hard to make clean lines, and I couldn't get it as short as I wanted, it would just leave hair behind even without a guard. Now I can cut my hair in minutes, so much more evenly and easily. If you cut your own hair, you need these clippers. Don't even think about anything else. It will change your life.
