Andis 01815 Professional Master Adjustable Blade Hair Clipper, Carbon Steel T-Blade - Silver

I have had Wahl clippers for about 20 years and buy a new set every couple years. Usually with a budget model at Walmart, so I finally decided to upgrade to a professional set for cutting mine and my 5 sons’ hair.I plugged it in after reading so many reviews about how loud it was, and was pleased at how quiet it was. I handed it to my wife and it was immediately loud. I used a screwdriver to adjust the speed control on the side and it quieted right down. With 20 seconds of turning the screw on the side, it was quiet.One of my sons has extremely thick hair. For years, the Wahl trimmers would pull, catch, and snag, making him wince in pain. With these Andis Master clippers, it not only cut without bogging down the motor, but I didn’t have to go over it multiple times to get stragglers. I was able to give a great fade with minimal effort.I only regret that I didn’t do this 15 years ago. I would have saved so much money on cheap clippers. I expect these to last a lifetime.They did become quite warm after 35 minutes and 3 haircuts, but not too hot to hold.

I have been using these for many years , they finally stopped working well. I must admit it is likely due to my not caring for them as they deserve with cleaning and oil. I do not take care of them like a professional would, yet they work several years cutting my head and face weekly. I am not ready for the cordless model as these have been my go to since I got tired of buying consumer trimmers every year

I bought these Andis clippers on June 15th, 2023, and they were great at first. They were powerful, easy to use, and gave me a great haircut. However, after about a month of use, they started making a terrible noise. The noise was so loud that it was painful to use the clippers, and it made it impossible to cut hair.I contacted Amazon customer service, and they were not helpful at all. They refused to refund or exchange the clippers. I am beyond angry. I spent a lot of money on these clippers, and they are now completely unusable.I would strongly advise anyone against buying these clippers. They are a waste of money, and their customer service is terrible. If you are looking for a good pair of clippers, and buy these.. Good luck!Rating: 1 out of 5 starsDo not buy!

EDIT: The review below deals with the poor packaging and presentation of this product. When I got around to trying it, it turned out to be defective. Loud humming. After adjusting the power with a screw driver, I discovered that the blade is not moving at all. Amending my un-enthusiastic 2 star review to a very annoyed 1 star. It's a shame this formerly respected brand has become such a joke.I'm writing this review before my first use of this product. I don't think I'll have anything important to add to those written by others, when it comes to functionality. I hope this will be a great machine that lasts me a lifetime. I ordered this because I have always used this brand, I like the all-metal body and the old timey look. I made this decision even though other brands are getting higher scores and better reviews. However, I have to say the packaging is a complete joke. The box doesn't even deserve the description "card board". It's basically made of thick paper. It arrives in a depressing state, no surprise, especially since Amazon is using those bags for mailing your stuff. Then, upon opening, I learned that one of the most expensive clippers on this site does not even have included clip-on combs, as is customary with even the cheapest of products. Those will cost you another 25 bucks! The least I would have expected is some sort of carrying case or at least a pouch. This is a poor and borderline offensive presentation. And that should be reflected in the rating of a product.

Ordered this unit. Returned first unit as it was making very loud noises. Received the replacement unit and the blades where unaligned and adjustment lever wasn’t even. Turns out the screw head on the adjuster plate is stripped and slide plate was over torqued and slightly bent. Straightened it out works well. Ended up keeping it because when I straightened out the plate I put a small scratch on the unit - but because of 2 bad experiences - I’m not sure if I can recommend highly quality of the clipper is good but seems like Andis QA person(s) is not catching all the improper put together units
