I have owned Wahl electric (corded) clippers since I'm 19 or so, more than 35 years. My wife cuts my hair with them, and the cord drives me absolutely monkey crazy when it touches the hairs on my back. She seems to take pride in her, "whoops, honey--sorry," routine.
I've been doing a lot of research and I'm reaching out to those who are are in the know, perhaps barbers, owners?
What I have found from reading reviews and even a thread or two here, is that if you don't buy the $300 model, you're going to be sorry. Either the motor has no longevity, or it's weaker than a Shirley Temple. Must I get the Professional 5 Star for $141, or the Professional Cordless Senior Metal for ca. $300?
What do you nice folks think? I have no problem saving up for 10 years if necessary, but is it necessary?
I know this for sure: I will be buying a set of cordless clippers. I do not enjoy buying sub-quality crap. I'd rather cry once and have done with it.
Your knowledge, opinion, expertise and wit are all appreciated.
