Oster Professional Fast Feed Adjustable Pivot Motor Clippers - Professional Hair Clippers for Men & Barbers - Whisper Quiet & Built for Seamless Length Changes - Includes 3 Comb Guides, Guard & More

Relevant background: I have been cutting my own hair for the last 14 years. During that time I more or less settled on Wahl brand clippers. The problem is that the Walh clippers dulled relatively quickly, got clogged with hair easily and took many passes to get it right because of the inferior attachments and the attachments popping off. But for the price of 20-30 some bucks to replace every year or so, it was ok. However I've found the newer models of wahl clippers have used cheaper and flimsier attachments. The attachments got so cheap that if you pushed too hard on your head, the attachment would distort. Well that's exactly what happened. I mean can you at least not scrimp so bad that it defeats the purpose of the product? None the less, I tracked down a set of older and better made attachments and went to business as usual. To do a perfect job took me about 30 minutes to cut my hair because you have to make many passes from where the attachments push the hair down and where in general the clippers don't get unless you brush the clogged hair out for every 6 or so inches of hair cutting. If you've done this as much as I have, you know what I mean. I had enough, I flushed enough money down the toilet on Wahl. One day I got pissed and decided to invest a few extra bucks in my next set. I researched the models out there and this one came very highly recommended in the intermediate price range. I purchased it and have used it three times since I got it. It works great, it flys through the hair no problem and it does not clog with the cut hair. I can cut my hair in about 5 minutes instead of 30. The attachments are thin without being flimsy, so you don't have to go over the same place over and over. The attachments also slide on from the top/front end of the blade and lock into place so, no matter how hard you push on your head, the attachments will never pop off. I wish I got one of these years ago. The construction is way more solid that the walh brand. It is heavier and obviously has a better motor. The blades go through everything without a problem. This is a great clipper for someone like me who only uses it about once a month. People seemed to complaint about the noise- if you are that sensitive to sound then you have issues. You are literally pressing a buzzing motor against your head...you want it to not be loud? It does get hot like people say, so I would not recommend using it without attachments for more than 15 minutes without a break. I would not use it cut my dogs hair without letting it cool completely which may take awhile. My advice....get it

Hello if ya'll don't know these Fast Feeds are amazing. They cut at a 000-1A ... I used them 2 weeks ago on myself and wow, they cut evenly and left me so crispy. (a good thing) My fade was legit. I did a bald fade. yup. fresh Amazon was fast and very professional. When I cut my hair the clippers didn't get hot AT ALL. When I cut my cousin's hair I noticed a lil more about the heat. These clippers don't start heating up until about 25+ minutes or so and even then they only get warm. Not too hot. Pros: Light in hand, arm doesn't get tired as fast. They are quiet and powerful. They can cut through both wet and dry hair. I thought I needed two of them but I cancelled one seeing as to how much of a quality clipper this is. MADE IN THE USA BABY! The only cons I have about these bad boys They don't come with a full set of attachments but you can always get those purple Andis magnetic guards.. Conclusion: I love these clippers. They are of high quality. ***Update 12/27/2015 - I have been using these on myself and on my friends to develop my skills. Some 400-500 hair cuts later, they still work great. I use these for precision blending, fading out to higher levels of cutting. Great tool. Only needed one after all. I have been using them for years and they only heat up if you don't lube em up right. I use Andis Cool Care spray while they're on to let the oil work itself in. I use em for like 30-45 minutes sometimes and then they start to warm up. If you're looking for a clipper to take out the bulk in a salon setting, use a different one. These can do it but I associate them with blending. I went a little crazy and bought two of these, two of the Limited Edition Chrome ones, and I just bought the Oster Topaz Fast Feeds... Next is going to be the black Oster Speed Line and blue Fast Feeds.

I was looking though my old Amazon buys and I had to give this item some love. It's been over 5 years & I have had zero issues with these clippers & I hardly clean and oil them. Easily the best clippers I have ever owned and I would HIGHLY recommend them!

I really like the clippers and I wish I could give a max 5 star rating; however, I have experienced a few negatives along the way. I have been using the clippers consistently about twice/three times a month (active duty military so they get used a lot) for the past year and there a few things to point out. Ergonomics: The clipper feels perfect in your hand and is easy to use. The cord does get in the way especially when cutting the back of your head, but that’s a very small gripe. Overall the clippers feels fantastic in the hand and isn’t heavy. Blade: I never used the original blade and purchased the andis ceramic blade instead. I can’t speak of the quality, but be aware that the original blade is not a true 0/skin when the lever is fully closed. There is about a good 1/4 inch when fully closed with the original blade, hence why I chose the andis ceramic. The included guards are absolute trash so buy the andis guards purple. The original guards broke after the first use so invest in a nice guard set. The andis purple magnetic guards fit perfectly on the fast feeds so happy with them. Durability: This is where I have to knock Oster. The clipper cuts great, but they get clogged very easy and you constantly have to brush off the blade repeatedly. I lubricate the clipper after every use and I still find that the clipper gets clogged/jammed with hairs. I am still able to complete my haircut, but it’s just an added annoyance that I am brushing away the blade constantly. Quietness: I don’t know what a quiet clipper sounds like, but my particular fast feeds do NOT sound quiet at all. They get louder when hair gets jammed and even with a consistent oiling Schedule there is a decently overall Loud humming sound when the clipper is on. I will say that it’s quieter than the classic 76s since the motors are different, but aside from that I don’t consider them quiet by any means. Overall: I give the clipper 3.8-4/5. *One thing to note is I’m not sure if the clipper is brand new or refurbished. I hope it is, but the body of the clipper definitely did not have a new finish to it and almost looked refurbished or something. I would still buy it again, but just be mindful before considering.

Great clippers! Replaces my old ones which I had for 16 years. Only replaced because the cord became frayed. I never had any complaints/problems with the old ones.

This will go through your hair like a hot knife through butter. It's very quiet, yet powerful. Blades are sharp, but not so close/sharp that you need worry about cutting yourself. It comes with a few attachments if you prefer a less than military appearance. The clippers have an adjustable gate on the blades for a slightly less than shaved look. Long cord is nice, also. Comes with oil and cleaning brush. Easy to maintain. Updated: I have also started using this to shave my face when I don't shave for a few weeks. It works so much better than my Norelco trimmer on longer facial hair. I still need to use the Norelco to get it down to stubble, but it only takes about 60 seconds to do so. If you're a bit of hairy guy (guilty), it can clear your chest hair off in a minute, as well. Some of the negative comments on here are atypical, I believe. I will say, this product won't take your hair to the scalp. I can't tell you how close it cuts, but I would imagine it's in the 1/16th to 1/32nd range. If you have a beard trimmer you can finish with that or even a razor would have no trouble at all after the Oster was finished. I don't know if one clipper can be all things to all people, but this is a great all purpose clipper. It won't make you bald, but it will indiscernibly close. It's quiet...for a clipper. It makes less noise than my Norelco trimmer. If you are shaving your head multiple times a week, you don't need these clippers. Any trimmer will do for that frequency. I have only had the Oster for six or so months and it has already paid for itself. Read the comments before your decide which clipper is right for your needs. This product gets 4-5 stars about 88% of the time. The negative reviews are typically from people that didn't do proper research on the inherent limitations of the product or just happened to have received a faulty item (it happens to every type of product and Amazon will take care of you if it does).

I thought I would write a review after using this clipper to fade both mine and my sons hair for the past 7 years. This is a well made product that has held up to 3-4 haircuts per month for the past 7 years. I have not oiled it consistently and I probably should, but i have never had a problem over the years. I would estimate that I oil probably once every 3-4 months, and never had an issue. This is fairly quiet, makes a low drone sound compare do to a louder buzz that you will notice with cheaper clippers. I ended up buying additional guides from oster that are better constructed and have been using those over the plastic ones that came with the clipper. I like how the adjustable length lever is smooth all the way without click settings. I can easily slide it to adjust as necessary. It cuts close to skin, and I have never had a problem at all with any nicks or cuts on both mine and my sons hair. If I could offer any kind of improvement that could be made, it would be to change the adjustable lever to a different material other than plastic. I had an issue with mine where the screw that holds the plastic lever got loose. Over tightening the screw would lock the lever in place, and under tightening lets the blade adjust itself while cutting. There's a real small sweet spot that I found where if you tighten the screw enough it keeps the blade from moving while cutting while at the same time allowing you to adjust. If the lever were something other than plastic, or a different type of design, i think this would resolve the issue completely. The screw getting loose has happened 2-3 times over 7 years of use, so not that big of a deal for me and doesn't change my rating,

Going bald was probably the best thing that has happened to me. I don't have to shell out any more money getting my haircut at a barber nor do I have to worry about what my hair looks like every morning. When I first started buzzing my head, I purchased a cheaper brand of clipper (Wahl) from CVS or Target. It worked well for a period of time but it would sometimes pull my hair. The motor never seemed large enough and after a while, a couple of the blades broke off. However, the Wahl was made in USA, which is important to me, but it eventually came time for me to see what other options were out there. I tend to do extensive research before I buy something. My wife (sometimes) hates it but I would rather spend a little more money on a quality product if it's going to last longer. After looking around, I narrowed it down to the Oster Classic 76, Oster Model 10 and this one. All I need to do is buzz my head once a week, or every two weeks, so I knocked out the 76 & 10 because they were nearly twice the price of the Fast Feed. From the first time I used it, I noticed a huge difference over the Wahl. The blades cut fast and smooth and they didn't pull my hair at all. To be honest, I was floored and wondered why I didn't make a transition sooner. I don't use any of the included attachments (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") but they all seem well made (at least compared to the Wahl ones). Just for review purposes, I clipped each one on and turned on the clipper for a minute to see if they came loose and/or stayed attached. Needless to say, I didn't have a problem with any one of them. When I was using my Wahl clipper, the attachment would come loose after a few months (I used an attachment with the Wahl, NOT with the new Oster). The blade adjusts very smoothly and no matter how short I go, it's as comfortable as anything. The motor does heat up a little bit but it doesn't get unbearable. This is easily one of the best purchases I've made for myself! As I stated earlier, I wish I did it sooner. If you're using a Wahl, or cheaper clipper, pay the extra $20 and get this!
