Product Reviews of Conair 20-pc. Pro Haircut Kit
Product Review: Value for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second haircut set i've owned, and so far its paid for itself in saved trips to the barber ..
I have short curly afro-caribbean hair , and use the trimmer to trim myself (with 2 mirrors), and maintain a low, even, easy to brush cut (so i dont really use the styling clips) ..
Item was out of stock when i first wanted it, but it was well worth the wait. Great delivery and everything
Product Review: Value for your money
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
1. Inexpensive for reasonably good durability - there are sub-10$ kits with toy-like combs!
2. Easy cleaning of the blades - secret: use a vacuum cleaner on the sides - that unused attachment you have been saving just for this purpose!
3. Easy to do the front and head-sides yourself!
4. The turbo mode is more powerful, but I have found better cutting with slow, steady strokes in the normal ON mode.
5. Savings - NOT thousands or hundreds of dollars for me. I used to go to a saloon every 2 months, now I need to go just twice a year for the mandatory professional sculpting (once every 3 times of self cutting). Around [...] bucks in savings per year for me.
Cons:
1. Wired - but were you expecting a rechargeable cordless at this price?
2. Not advisable to try doing the back of the head yourself. You will need someone for 5 minutes to do the back and for getting a uniform neckline. If you want a pure-self-cut-kit and short hair, get the Remington Short Cut Rechargeable Clipper - self cuts everywhere beautifully.
3. Don't expect professional cuts if you are the not-so-patient type or have real dense hair. I have moderately-dense, 1.5 inch hair that I trim down to 0.5 inches and this Conair is perfect for me.
4. You will need to take off the blades for cleaning about every 3 times of cutting. It is simple to oil, realign and put back the blades.
Product Review: Why the turbo button?
Summary: 2 Stars
These clippers work well when you push the turbo button, but I don't understand why it's there. Why don't they just run in 'turbo' all the time. It's kind of awkward when cutting your own hair to push this button and get all the sides of your head.
They are pretty cheap, and I've done about a dozen haircuts with them, but I am looking for a different brand this time. The button just doesn't make sense. You have to hold the button down the whole time you cut your hair.
Product Review: did not last long
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used this clipper very few times. Every time I needed to change an attachment comb it was very difficult to snap it in place. A couple of times it would just not work. The last time, the clipper came apart, and I have not been able to put it back together. I guess you get what you pay for . . . awful!Product Review: loud
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this as a gift and it has worked alright for a couple years but I hate using it because it is super noisy and it vibrates my whole hand. The turbo button is stupid because I have to press it the whole time to get a decent cut making it more than awkward when cutting my own hair plus it gets really hot by the end.
