Product Reviews of Oster 76076-010 Classic 76 Professional Hair Clipper
Product Review: Professional Clippers - Work Perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cons:
(1) The clippers tend to operate warm almost immediately after turning them on (this really isn't a big deal).
(2) The clippers are heavy / large / and sometimes awkward to handle (everyone else has said this too; again, no big deal).
(3) A bit expensive...but you get what you pay for.
Pros:
(1) The power cord is very sturdy and never curls up around itself like the power cables for cheap clippers.
(2) Switching out new blades = VERY EASY. All you do is turn the clippers off, push the current blade back, pop it up, put on a new one, push it in.
(3) The unit itself comes with two interchangeable, attachable blades: (a) size 1 and (b) size 000 (triple Zero)
(4) Most importantly, these clippers do a great job and cut through your hair like butter. The unit is very sturdy--a professional unit of high quality, and you get what you pay for. These will last forever, I imagine. Performance is great unlike those cheap clippers you buy at Target with plastic attachments. If you're serious about cutting your own hair (preferably a buzz cut around size 000), then these clippers are for you ! Shell out the money for them (they come with the #1 blade and the #000 blade attachments, and perhaps buy a few other blades separately (I'd recommend the quadruple and quintuple 0's, perhaps even the #0A as well, for good measure).
Product Review: Professional Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
No doubt professional quality. The clippers I had before would struggle to cut thick hair, but these guys don't tug or pull at all. You could probably trim the hedges with these things. On the down side, you will need to purchase additional blades or plastic guards since only two blades come with the set. Also the clippers are rather large and bulky, which is a little awkward at first. Overall I would recommend this product if you are looking for a reliable heavy duty clipper and don't mind the extra size and weight.Product Review: Professional clipper is great, five stars
Summary: 5 Stars
Short review. This clipper is a professional tool. It cuts evenly, I shave my head, and gives my hair a bounce when I'm done. I also use it for my beard and the #1 blade gives it a perfect length.
I will need a #2 clipper when I want to leave my hair a little longer.
Anyway, when my favorite barber retired he told me to get a 76076 and a 1 and 2 clipper and do it myself.
Thanks Oster
Product Review: Real pro-quality clipper
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a serious clipper. I've gone through several sets of cheap $30 to $40 clippers, but all of them died after a few years. Even worse, in order to get a good clean cut, I had to go over the same spot so many times that it could end up taking a half hour to clip my hair. That's about what it took to drive to a local barber, get a haircut, and drive back. They could also easily jam with thick hair, so early passes had to be done slowly in order to avoid binding the clippers and pulling hair. Also, all my inexpensive clippers worked via a vibrating magnet drive, which would hold a good setting for a little while, but then drift off and either stop cutting or get super loud.
The Classic 76 clippers are smooth, relatively quiet, and powerful. One pass and the hair is perfect, no matter how thick it is. Switching blades is quick and easy, and the results are better than I've ever gotten with comb attachments.
Some reviewers complain about the heft and noise, but I can't see what they are talking about. I imagine the clippers could get heavy if you use them all day, but since I'm not a pro, I don't notice the weight. They seem about the same as my last pair of cheap clippers, actually. They are no louder than the clippers I've had before, and are definitely a lot quieter than vibration-drive clippers that aren't in perfect adjustment.
They aren't cheap, but I can't imagine being happier with a set of clippers.
Product Review: Rugged, well built clipper
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this unit to replace a Wahl clipper that would not stay aligned. This is obviously professional grade. A bit heavy, but looks like it should last. I like the replaceable blade design. Would have been nice to include the combs directly in the kit...
