Clean even cuts, unicord makes it convinient and easy to switch beetween the 2,good weight,somewhat of a loud motor but its fine because you can see its potency as you cut.

First off I am not a professional barber, that being said I do cut my dad's, a couple of friends, and my own hair. These are absolutely great! These clippers seem like they will cut through any hair without a fuss(I can't be sure about ethnic hair but I believe the Magic Clip is made for that), I can zip through hair without slowing down and can be comfortable knowing that no stragglers will be left behind. The Magic Clip with its adjustable lever is perfect for fading, I gave my pop a fade and my mother loved it, so I take that as the ultimate approval and I even use it for balding my best friend and his dads hair. The Razor Edger is great for doing line ups, edge work(obviously), and for working around the beard. It comes with a dual hangar that rests on any cabinet door and I'm sure it will fit a plethora of other rigging to keep your clippers close by. It comes with one large comb, I rarely use it because I cut mostly short cuts but I picked up 2 decent combs at Sally's for a couple of bucks. It also comes with a small bottle of oil, actually mine came with 2 and 2 cleaning brushes, and although these clippers don't get hot super fast I do recommend picking up a can of Andis Cool Car Plus for quick cooling and lubrication. This set is also wonderful for doing self cuts, I have give myself a crew cut and because I was lazy a couple of weeks ago a simple buzz cut, it worked flawlessly for both. The single cord solution is also very handy and simple to use. I have also cleaned these and it was super easy. One very important thing is that I like to zero gap my clippers and the Magic Clip is the easiest Fade Clipper I have done this with(it should be noted that most wahl pro fades are easier than other brands in this regard). Both clippers are capable of getting super close but the Razor Edger triumps at this task straight out of the box. I really can't say enough good things about this kit, I'm really glad my old barber recommended them to me, he was going to use his Pro discount at Sally's so I could get thim at his price, but I found them on here for about $30 cheaper, and they was on my porch in 2 days. If your an at home barber like me you can't go wrong with this kit and I would even venture to say this would be good for anyone from a mom wanting to save money cutting your kids hair to the most seasoned master barber. One thing I would recommend is getting either the Wahl Case that is sold separately or getting another way of storing/carrying your kit, I use a 5 dollar tool bag I got for my drill at wal-mart(my drill now is in a bigger bag for all the accessories I've accumulated), just be sure to put your blade guards on when storing them, which brings me to the only con I have for these: The blade guard for the Razor Edger will fall off very easily, I remedied this with a piece of Scotch Tape. My phone is broke or I would include pics but mine look just like the picture of the box.

P.S. For anyone who wants to know I did take apart the Magic Clip and it does indeed come with the V9000 electric motor.

Convenient and natural combo

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Updated 4/8/17

I cleaned the blades completely with brushes and wiped everything with barber sanitizer. Opened clippers and cleaned out the guts, not sure what all that black/brown stuff was. Plastic shavings perhaps? Anyway, I oiled everything and re-assembled them both. Edger blade doesn't hit very hard, so you gotta kinda push (people don't like that so much). That said, you can get different blades. Tattoo blade fits on this edger too, so that's always an option.

Main clippers are the same 5 star blade as the Seniors. Zero gap, great fade blades. Smooth and sharp, the thumb lever is smooth operating and easy to adjust (screw driver) if it's too loose/tight for you. Full set of combs, and a nice comb for clipper-over-comb or to use with shears.

2 tiny bottles of oil will last most home users a good few months of self-haircuts, maybe more. Pros get a real bottle, and don't just use spray. Spray throughout the day, oil at the beginning/end of the day.

UNICORD - comes with a hook hanger that the cord fits thru for easy and convenient access right next to your clippers. It's possible that the jacks for these could be purchased separately so you can convert other clippers to use the same detachable cable, which would be pretty cool.

Other than that, the Magic Clip is the same exact clipper as the 5 Star Senior and about the same price, so why get that when you can get this instead? If you want permanent cord, I guess, but the mechanism seems very durable. Time will tell, but for now, I'm loving this combo (only thing to make it better would be better blades for the edger).

Original review:

Haven't used it yet, will update if I keep this set. Already ordered regular Magic Clips and I'm returning them because they came greasy with black junk all over the blades, along with some hairs. Used and returned? Perhaps... Box doesn't come sealed.

Same with this set - box doesn't come sealed. Doesn't look greasy or used, but the edger definitely came with rust in the teeth of the blade... I'm cleaning it and gonna check really carefully, but I don't want a cut on my neck from some rusty metal!

I hope Wahl sees this...

Pretty good

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022

The hair clippers are really solid and do a great job - best I've had. However, the edger/trimmer is just ok, and unfortunately that's the one I use much more often. The $20+ random brand clippers I had previously honestly did a better job. However, that edger was cordless and the battery failed to hold a charge after only 2 years (and didn't work while plugged into the wall), so I had to throw it away. That seemed so wasteful, so I specifically wanted a corded edger this time. Not sure what's off, but I will try to adjust the blades some more and see if that helps.

Be sure to fully follow the directions and oil the blades properly before using.

I bought these clippers because of the rising cost of getting a haircut (40-60) bucks, cut is good, i'm working on getting better at lining and they will pay for themselves over time.
