Save $60 and buy any other decent trimmer. They don’t have some new secret lithium technology. Ask your barber if they would buy these even at this price.
Have no idea at all … but my barber swears by the brand. This model is something new, so who knows. If I needed one, I’d take the risk. The price is right.
These are WAY higher quality than the crap you buy for $20-$30 at Walmart, and this is a good deal for them.
Babyliss makes professional hair care tools. Obviously you are not the market for them.
My barber uses these and recommended I get them as well, and I did. The difference from the crap you buy at a big box store is very noticeable.
I can’t comment on this model, but I bought the SilverFX outlining trimmer specifically because of my barber’s recommendation. The ability to zero-gap the blade makes it able to cut extremely close, the blade is staying sharp for a very long time, the battery lasts months with my personal use 3-4 days a week, the motor is powerful without being loud, and the all metal construction makes the thing bulletproof. It makes my old Wahl Sterling Mag look like a budget option in comparison. I recently bought the matching SilverFX clipper to start cutting my kids’ hair and it seems to fall into the same category of premium build and performance.
My experience is with the all-metal ‘barbell’ grip units, but like other commenters have said BaByliss is a professional equipment brand. If I was looking for a clipper and wanted something more ergonomic than the Silver/Gold/BlackFX line I wouldn’t think twice at this price.
