Summary: "Not so great"

Purchased this for my GF who is a hairstylist because she is REQUIRED to use Wahl at her new job. She used an Oster 76 at her old job. The motor is loud and vibrates your hand but if you're used to the magnetic motor then this is nothing new. The Oster uses a rotary motor so it's a lot smoother.

The motor would shut down every once in awhile after heavy use and she said it was quite embarrassing for her at work. I opened up the unit, realigned blades, and adjusted the little button on the side to move the blades and so far the motor hasn't stalled yet, but this isn't what I expect from the top of the line Wahl product. Also, The "Senior" logo has already rubbed off after about a week of use. Go with the Oster 76 if you are a pro.

Summary: "Senior Clipper"

This is the best clipper I ever used. I am a hairdresser, but it was my son who used one in college and told me how great it was...he was right.

Summary: "Very Disapointed"

I was looking to upgrade from the wahl designer and read great things about this wahl senior. I have 3 boys and myself to do hair cuts and was looking for something that ran cool. The wahl senior advertises that it runs cool but I did my hair first and within minutes it started getting warm. It took my 2-3 minutes top to trim my hair on the sides. I started with my oldest son and it just kept getting hotter and hotter. The back feels as though it is metal in appearance looks very nice but that metal sure does get HOT. It was to the point that we stopped. Not only for him but holding it was very uncoftorable. I finished him up..Only took 5 minutes from start to finish. Next was my middle son and he complained the whole time. My hand was getting hot and we had to stop after a few minutes into his hair as the blades and th back of the clippers was just to hot for both of us. Either I have a deffected one or these just are not what they advertise. I personanly think that the designer is better and I know it uses the same blades...

Buyer beware!!!! save your money and just go with the designer..

Summary: "The difference is unbelievable!"

I bought these clippers some months ago and I am still in awe. The difference between the 25$ pair I was using before and these is like night and day. The "Senior" buzzes through hair like a hot knife through butter, comes with a bottle of oil big enough to last years, a blade guard, a little brush to clean the clippers but unfortunately only one attachment. i recommend buying a set from the same company, Wahl, that's what i did at least...

Summary: "30 years and still works like new ..."

Ours was handed down from my parents-in-law. It's thirty years old and still works better than the cheap ones we had before it. It's a fantastic investment AND you can always get accessories for it for YEARS! Skip the others and buy Wahl.
