Product Reviews of Oster 76076-010 Classic 76 Professional Hair Clipper

Product Review: Excellent ... Top of the Line
Summary: 5 Stars

Best ever Clipper I've ever used, and I've been using clippers (this is my third) for over 8 years. Excellent product ... cuts through my sons' hair like a hot knife slicing through soft butter. Surprisingly quiet ... this had been one of my few concerns based on prior reviews ... not to worry. Feels a little heavy after a while, but is nicely balanced and does heat up quite a bit after continuous use (15-20 minutes); but again, not that big a deal. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!

Product Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this product for my own use, so I cannot comment on how it may stand up to professional usage requirements. I needed a replacement for my old clipper which had stopped working about a year before. I had attempted to use a combination of other products to satisfy my needs without spending much cash, including using the trimmer attachment on my Norelco electric shaver as well as my Wahl 9877-500 Beard Trimmer. Both these products were being used beyond their performance specifications and they ended up being very inefficient. The Oster Classic 76, however, buzzed through everything with a minimum of effort. It performs better than any other trimmer I have used. The casing is solid and robust, although it may be heavier than you are used to. It is not exceedingly heavy, but more so than standard consumer trimmers. My old clipper had a problem with the cord being tangled and twisted (especially when other people used it who didn't care for it well), but the Oster Classic 76 does not have that problem and the cord is very sturdy. Blade removal and replacement is fast and easy, and cleaning is fairly straightforward. The two included blades (Size 000 and Size 1) cut to 0.5mm and 2.4mm, respectively. Make sure that these are the sizes you want to cut at, or you will end up ordering separate blades anyway. Overall, I consider this an excellent product and I look forward to continuing using it.

Product Review: Excellent professional pair of clippers. A pleasure to use.
Summary: 4 Stars

For years I have shaved my head, and for years I have used low quality clippers because I didn't want to spend the money of the professional stuff. What a mistake. These clippers, while a bit large and unwieldy, are an incredible pleasure to use. I have lots of thick hair and the cheap clippers just bind up, get hot, make a ton of noise, and constantly miss hair. These clippers don't even change sound when I swamp it with my hair. Another positive aspect of these that is worth the price -- no crappy plastic guards are necessary, you can just get easily interchangable blades. I highly recommend these clippers to anyone who regularly shaves their head -- they may seem expensive when compared to a $30 set from Walmart, but after you use them just one time you'll realize that the cheapie ones are actually far more expensive.

Product Review: Fantastic hair clipper
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband likes to wear his hair in a "buzz" cut, just like those given to new military recruits. For several years, I cut his hair with a "Vidal Sassoon" clipper purchased at Wal-Mart. I hated it. Not only was it so loud that we both had to wear ear plugs, it didn't cut well, pulling his hair and leaving sprigs and gaps behind. It sometimes took up to an hour to finish cutting his hair, and even then I had to cut stragglers with scissors. This Oster clipper, which I believe is used by military barbers, is a marvel. It zips through my husband's hair like the proverbial hot knife through butter. We're all done in little more than 5 minutes. It has some heft to it, but it cuts so quickly that the weight is not a problem. And it's much less noisy. No more ear plugs required :) It cost about twice what we paid for the Sassoon clipper, but it's well worth it.
