From Mark:
these are one of the best hair clippers, but there are pros and cons to the andis masters.
THE PROS
1. very precise cutting
2.quiet clippers
3.more powerful than the oster fast feed
THE CONS
1.they are heavy clipper, so if you self cut your hair i hope you go to the gym because your arms might feel tired.
2. these clippers get extremely hot after 20 minutes of use.
I was naive to the fact that these clippers are really meant for professional barbers. this is the first time that i self cut my hair and i like the results.
PROBLEMS PEOPLE MAY HAVE
1. the clippers are making a clatter loud sound- you have to adjust the clippers by taking a flat head screw driver and i turning the SCREW on the side of the clippers CLOCKWISE until the clattering sound diminishes.
2.the andis masters are not cutting closer than you thought- tpye in youtube how to adjust andis master clipper, that will help.
3. oil the clippers. you get oil wth the masters. this preserves the clipper blades
4. OPTIONAL- by the disenfectant spray because it cools the blade if you spray it on the blade.
I hope this helped.
From A Grover:
I have been looking for a good pair of clippers to do fades. I have been doing fades on my own head for the past 12 years and always used the cheopo wahls ones that you can buy at target, never had a problem with them. I decided I wanted to get a professional type clipper so I got these. I just used them an hour ago for the first time and here is what I have experienced, and this is MY PERSONAL OPINION so you can take it how you want to:
1.) First, my biggest issue: The whole unit gets VERY VERY HOT, I mean to the point I cannot hold it anymore. And only after about 45 minutes do you start to notice that the heat is getting bad, the blades themselves took longer to get very very hot but I literally used a glove to finish my haircut today because I could not hold it. The unit is metal.
2.) Its noisy but all clippers are noisy, this is not a problem for me but still an observation. Not a big deal
3.) The clippers are very very difficult to keep a good grip on. The casing is metal with no rubber grips or any other material to hold it easier. Once you put a little oil on the blades, use the clippers for a while, eventually after switching the guides you will get some oil on your hands and once that oil gets onto the surface of the case, it feels like a bar of soap. Not very good when you are trying to cut hair, one slip and you have a bald spot where it shouldnt be.
4.) These things are annoyingly heavy. It is powerful so it has a heavy motor and I didnt think the weight would be a problem. But seriously, after using for a few minutes my arm was getting very tired, much quicker than when I used the cheap ones.
Overall, the actual cutting of the clippers is just average, no different than my cheaper clippers that I bought for $20. I am going to return these, not sure what I will get yet. Maybe a different pair of andis but I will have to look at the reviews to see if any of these problems mentioned will also come with other andis clippers.
