What's great about it: Does the job.
Does a good job cutting hair. My only issue was the ear trimming attachments, but I'm pretty sure that is a learning curve issue. The trim guides seem to be a bit shorter than the last cutting tool I had. The "1" I was used to is a "1.5" with this unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Hair falls on floor (not a Flowbee!!)
In my quest to not pay someone $20-$30 to cut my lack of hair, I bought a set like this from Wahl 20+ years ago. I just replaced it due to the fact that I did NOTHING to it for 20 years and it finally is acting up a little. Use it once every 2-3 weeks and no one can tell that I dont go to a barber. Highly recommend.

What's great about it: Powerful motor, cuts well
What's not so great: Plastic case is too small
I bought this set to replace a Conair clipper set I had bought nearly 20 years ago. I am not a professional barber, I cut my husband's and son's hair to save money.
I opened the box, and found all sorts of inserts, a few that looked like medieval torture devices. I'll admit, I played around with them on my husband's hair, and ended up cutting it way shorter than I'd planned. It still looked nice, but it was enough to convince me that you really only need about 5 of the cutting inserts in this kit. That said, they are a bit tricky to put on at times, seeming to require a lot of force to fit on. Other times, I can clip them on no problem! I get the feeling that once I become accustomed to this new kit I'll be able to clip on the inserts with no troubles.
The kit includes a plastic coverup that has Velcro straps to hold it in place. Both my husband and son said they began to feel hot in it, and after 2 uses it already has hair starting to cling to the hooks of the Velcro. I can see going back to the ol' sheet and binder clip pretty soon!
The plastic box for this kit is VERY small. Everything has to line up just so in order to close the box. I like to keep extra combs, clips and scissors in the kit for when I cut my daughter's hair, and there was NO WAY I could put all that stuff in that tiny box. I kept the box from my old kit. You might want to purchase an inexpensive plastic box just to save yourself the hassle every time you put the clipper away.
However, the extraneous clipper inserts and the plastic sheet and the tiny case are no big deal. The star of this kit is the clipper, and boy, does it shine! Nice, powerful motor that doesn't bog down in thick hair, and an easily adjustable clipper height for when I'm detailing the neckline is fantastic! The whole thing has a nice, solid feel without being overly heavy in my small hands. A real pleasure to work with.
I can see owning this clipper for 20 years+.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price, build quality, accessories
What's not so great: nothing
This clipper set is a really good value. You get a nice quality trimmer, tons of useful head attachments, and a case to store everything. The price was more than reasonable.
I started cutting my father's hair, as well as my own, in order to save money. This set pays for itself after the first use. Just keep it clean and oiled periodically and it should last a long time. Great too if you just want it for touch ups and body hair trimming.
I would recommend this to a friend!
