Wahl Professional 5 Star Series Senior Clipper

The Wahl Professional 5 Star Series Senior Clipper might feature a campy name, but this is a heavy-duty clipper featuring a wonderful array of accessories and a nice heft in your hand while still providing exceptional maneuverability for a precision cut. My partner Patrick has used this for over 1.5 hours cutting hair on his own head and our friends’ hair and has been absolutely in love. While the buzz is a bit loud, it’s all part of that powerful motor; plus, it’s not so loud you can’t talk over it comfortably.

One of the biggest pluses is the accessories as this set comes with a barber’s comb, clipper blade oil, red blade guard, and several guide combs. The only downside in the accessories is that you get very few guide combs and only in small sizes. It would be better to get up to eight or nine guide combs to offer multiple options for cutting length. Be sure to also check out our comprehensive guide to the best beard trimmers on the market.

Wahl Color Pro Cordless Rechargeable Hair Clipper & Trimmer

If you’re after quality cordless clippers, definitely check out the Wahl Color Pro Cordless Trimmer Kit. It features many of the same aesthetic designs as the corded trimmer; save for the little red indicator light at the very bottom. There is also a power button, just above the color-coded keys that you can use to toggle the trimmer on and off. It comes with the NiMH battery technology rather than lithium, but still provides a decent 60 minutes of use per charge.

Due to its cordless nature, it is easy to carry about and this is where it outmatches its sister trimmer. Unlike its corded counterpart, which is partial to American electrical outlets and carries the warning not to be used with other outlets, the Wahl cordless clipper can work wherever you are, making it great for travel. This trimmer is also easy to clean and take care of. Easily used for various hairstyles and lengths, including head hair and facial hair, the Wahl Color Pro Cordless is definitely a trimmer worth considering.

Remington PG6025 All-in-1 Lithium Powered Grooming Kit

With its obsidian-colored frame and attractively curved exterior, the Remington PG6025 Grooming Kit is pretty to look at, but this product isn’t all looks. It has a power button on the front and three green bars that let you know just how your battery is doing. There are two large indents on the side that allow you to grip the shaver firmly and it even comes with a drawstring bag which makes it an ideal travel partner for wherever you go. But the biggest plus of the Remington cordless clipper is the accessories it comes with: six different attachments, plus fourteen different settings. This trimmer has some of the best attachment combs and can be used as a nose hair trimmer, a beard trimmer, or even an ear hair trimmer.

Another great point of the Remington is the steel blades. They are self-sharpening with added precision and also strong enough to last for a long period of time. The Remington is also cordless and rechargeable coming with a lithium ion battery that when charged, can easily give you between 65-70 minutes of use. It also offers optimum performance, so, whether you have three green bars or one, it will keep working at its best until it dies out. For those who might require more than 70 minutes of use, the Remington can be used while plugged in, however, once the battery dies out, it has to be charged to be used again even when plugged in. The steel blades also ensure that you don’t have any skin irritation and you never have to worry about the blades getting dull. Highly affordable, the Remington is an excellent option for those who want a great shaver but also want to be frugal.

Andis Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer

Andis Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer is one of the best trimmers for facial hair. The first thing you notice out of the gate is its lovely design. The grey, hard plastic casing complete with contours on the side make it very easy to handle and comfortable to use. It comes with an 8-foot cord that’s sturdy and allows you to move freely. You might feel that with this much cord tripping over might be a problem, but that’s not the case with the Andis as the cord has a hanger loop that prevents this.

It is equipped with an electromagnetic motor that can achieve an astonishing 7200 strokes per minute. The T-Blade is also hardened with carbon, therefore, you can get the cleanest look with a smoothness that you might not get with other blades. The Andis is also capable of the zero-gap, however, you will need to possess some level of skill to pull this off. The carbon steel blade is tough and can handle different types of hair with ease. You might want to be careful of prolonged use though as Andis can get rather hot after a while. This trimmer can be used in various ways but is especially great for fading as the blade design allows it to reach otherwise difficult places.

Wahl 5 Star Magic Clip Clipper

If you’ve been to the barbershop recently, you’ve probably noticed one thing: a lot of professional barbers love using Wahl products. This specific model is seen in barbershops all around the United States because it’s durable and very cost-effective for those looking to start up their own in-home shop, or who want the very best precision blades to clip their hair.

Wahl Professional Peanut Clipper

Go minimalist, but stick with the best brand in the United States, and you’ve got the Wahl Peanut Clipper. It’s a professional-grade corded clipper and detail trimmer, meaning it is mostly for commercial use—but if you can’t afford to hit the barbershop all that often, this is a solid choice. Purchasing a budget-friendly commercial-grade Wahl clipper means you get the same great quality (with a little bit of training, which we have included in our buying guide down below) at the fraction of the cost. Professional hair clippers, in general, pay for themselves in 4-5 uses.

Wahl’s Peanut Clipper is the best hairtrimmer for men that are looking to keep their wallet fat and happy while ensuring that they get the most trusted motor in the hair clipper industry. Complete with guards and a brush for cleaning hair out of the blades, this trimmer is guaranteed to last you a lifetime (with proper care). However, Wahl understands that accidents do happen, even on the manufacturing line, and they bring a full, long-lasting warranty with every single product. Perfect to have in your Dopp kit wherever you go.

Hatteker Cordless Hair Trimmer

If you go off the beaten track a bit, you can find a ton of amazing hair trimmers from lesser-known brands like Hatteker. This company sells mainly on Amazon, which means they put a ton of effort into keeping their reviews positive. That means, as well as a great hair trimmer, you get excellent customer service if something goes wrong.

The most impressive features of the Hatteker Cordless Hair Trimmer include a ceramic-titanium blade, a powerful and reliable motor, an LCD battery-life display, USB charging, and a 100% waterproof design. It also comes with a ton of useful attachments including six guide combs and a docking station. Sure, it’s not the kind of hair trimmer you’d find at a professional barber, but for DIY haircutting, it’s got everything you need.
