Great Clipper
I had a Vidal Sassoon Clipper which was plain painful to use, used to tangle my hair, wasn't sharp enough, used to make a mess and would take forever to cut hair. This Wahl is everything that Vidal Sassoon wasn't. I bought this after much research and almost to point of resigning myself to getting my hair cut by a stylist.

In short, the cutting surface is sharp and powerful, like the ones used in salons (I used to wonder how is it that the stylists clippers cut so effortlessly compared to mine) and in my case just 1 pass of this clipper was enough to cut it to the level I want. What used to take 1 hour to cut now takes only about 10 minutes, and I was able to do it on my own! It has many attachments and extras which may or may not useful but the clipper itself is a gem -- powerful and painless.

Wahl 79524-1001 Clippers
These clippers work very well. I am very please with the way they cut hair and how easy they are to handle. Nice.

Wahl not so good
Clipper set comes with a ton of attachments, but is way to loud. You can hear it from the outside. Not very good overall

clipper o.k. for home use... trimmer does not work
i am a professional stylist who does not work in a salon anymore - i bought this for family haircuts... the trimmer does not work... the clippers seem to work pretty well - the plastic guards are a bit flimsy and cheap - not very well made... i waited to long to do the first haircut with this and once i realized the trimmer did not work - it was to late to exchange this with amazon...

soooooo i would save the money and buy just the clippers if you need this for home use... if you are a pro - spend the money and buy something a bit nicer - that's what i'm going to do next time...

Perfect for a clueless mom of two boys
I've never cut hair in my life but I have two boys, aged 2 and 3. Taking them to get their hair cut is an ordeal, plus costs me a visit. I did some research and chose this pair of clippers thinking heck, it is worth a shot. Though I was nervous about making them look like cancer patients, it was easy and they look great. I just used the longest guard and went against the "grain" of the hair, like the Wahl website said. Actually, I think they look better than when I was paying someone else to do it with scissors. And the clipper set will have paid for itself the next time I cut their hair. Highly highly recommend. If you're wondering if you can do this at home--YES, you can. I couldn't be more pleased.
