"Either bully of bribe them" 😂 awesome review man. I can tell you're an awesome dad.
Thanks Darren, you just lit me up! Thanks!
One of the best clipper reviews I have seen up today, congrats. With this pandemia I also started cutting my own hair with a Conair clipper (very reliable by the way) I had to retouch my sideburns, and I have enjoyed so much that decided to upgrade to this Wahl model Elite Pro clipper, it gets paid itself back after 2 or 3 cuts so it worth every penny and you also you develop a new skill, enjoy it while learning and save some money too. Thanks for sharing your experience and your video, very professional, I enjoyed it!
Thank you Rafael, it's really worth the price.
"You get the feeling that you have a tool that deserves respect in your hand." ...Now that's the kind of review that makes me say, ok, I'll give that one a try!
@@Takorarrey both funny (if your mind's in the gutter), and a legitimate comment about how that's a strong review of a product! :-D
Looks like chinese product but costs twice as much. Cheap plastic cheap case.
@@MrSp0iler That's right. And it cuts hair.
@@MrSp0iler well ur kinda right, its made in usa using imported components, I just bought it and its a quality machine, quite heavy aswell you can tell its gonna last,
After borrowing my son's to cut my brother's hair I finally found my own clippers at Walmart!!! I enjoyed hearing you explain the use of the machine. Your son was a little finicky and you did great. I am ready to use it again on my brother it will be haircut #2. Thanks!!!!
Thank you Sandy, you should charge him for the haircut, plus tax! LOL
I bought the elite pro over a year and I can honestly say that thing does the job. I'm a barber and believe it or not, this is one of my go to machine.
How is it for fading?
I'm not a barber but I fade my beard and have done this for some time but he made it sound as if its difficult to fade with it.
@@harjasmarok7133 it does very well. If you're going to go from skin to hairline you MUST zero gap them to get a smooth transition.
@@jaysteph2978 Thanks for the reply! I use a zero gapped trimmer for the skin part and lining up. I ended up buying the elite pro and it arrived today. Haven't cut with it yet but the quality is excellent.
@@jaysteph2978i, old post but hopefully you still reply - Do you need to zero gap for all fading when not from skin? I’m new to this so sorry if that sounds a little dumb
@@Allegro_Giusto no need to zero gap if you're going to the skin
If you're looking for this model but with the left and right ear taper guards the model # is 79734. I just ordered mine on Best Buy for $64 total. Model # 79602 doesn't include the ear guards. Hope this helps anyone.
Thank you Tom, this is very relevant information.
I use Wahl at home now. My stylist uses Wahl. They make good enough products. I find the corded products are more reliable. Good video!
Thanks for sharing!
I've had this machine since 2016. These are great all around clippers. I fade with this all of the time and you have to know the proper technique to blend (go long to short). I've cut long and short hair and if you make good use of the guard combs, you can cut great styles with it. You may be able to use it for trimming, but I use the Wahl T-Pro trimmers.
It is a good machine. I find it's becoming easier to use as time has gone bye and I sure could improve my skills.
I bought these clippers for about $50(US) and for the price considering all that you get it can't be beat. The guards are very sturdy with metal clips that attach to the machine and alone go for about $30. The machine itself is heavier than just about any other clipper on the market at 2.5 lbs but if you're using these at home for yourself and your kids it shouldn't tire you out. if you were using them all day in a barbershop you might feel like you're in a gym doing curls after about 5 or 6 hours.
Bought it today after all slightly cheaper wahl sold out due to the pandemic. I like the product and thank you for your review.
I hope it serves you well. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much. Much love to you and your kids for making such a wholesome review
Thank you Thomas, and you're welcome.
You need to adjust your blades. The top blade tip of blade should be equal distance from the bottom tip of blade from left to right. You have more distance on the right side, in this video. That will cut the hair unevenly and made a fade less crisp. To do this, turn the clipper over to the bottom, slightly loosen the two large screws on the blade housing and manually adjust the blades to give a slight even-all-the-way gap between the tip of the top blad and the tip of the bottom blade. This is a point where you can ''zero gap'' your blades, meaning you leave no space between the tips of the top and tips of the bottom blades, but this is only recommended if you know what you are doing and your kids can sit still, as it is more likely to cut skin this way.
Thanks for the tips, and you know the kids will never sit still. lol.
LOVED THE VIDEO! Don't even have that hair texture but watched all the way though. Thanks for review! Editing on the video is also amazing
Thank you very much for the comment.
Excellent review. Hope you do more of them. I just picked one of these up for my hair (white guy with short sides and back, a bit longer on top). The thing worked great with my limited skills. Agree with all your comments and yeah, a divided case is a great idea.
Thanks so much for this review. We bought the clippers and I’m going to use them for the first time shortly so your video helped prepare me for that task. (And your kid is cute!☺️). Thanks again!
@Alunavision thank you and I hope you get the best out of this Clipper.
Bought one today based on this review. Very informative and thorough. Thank you!
Thanks Curtis, Hope it serves your needs. Mine's still going strong.
lol, I had flashbacks of my dad cutting my hair. How did these sound loud after a few months? Mine sound like a lawnmower!
They're loud, that's for sure!
Great review my brother, I’m Canadian as well and have been looking to upgrade my cutter to this one. I have a cheaper WAHL I’ve been using for over 6 years now that has suffered lots of abuse and it still works. Nothing bad to say about this company.
Excellent review, really liked your calmness and compete coverage!
Thank you very much Rick! It is very encouraging. If you subscribe it will encourage me to do more.....Thanks a million!
I am ordering the same clipper, but from the UK and that should be fine as I live in Australia as both countries use 240V 50Hz power supply voltage.
However, if I travel to US/Canada, which is not too often, it will not work with just a power adapter due to the 110V 60Hz voltage there.
I do have a transformer I left with in with my relatives in Canada, but that doesn’t change the frequency though.
However with these motors, it is more important to bring down the voltage, the 60 Hz will only make it go faster by 20%.
I those clipper it cuts great it has a very smooth cut
Excellent review, thank you so much. I've been shopping around and landed on this one. Your review made up my mind.
I bought these 5 days ago, and have the Wahl color coming in the mail. I"m amazed I can buy a kit with so many pieces for only 67 Canadian... It seems of such high quality... are these type of Units known to crap out after a couple years? Somethings not adding up, such quality for such a low price.
Mine is still going fine, and I've already had my money's worth, especially when compared with the cost of getting a haircut at the barber shop post covid.
the final haircut turned out quite good for a first time diy! gave me the right amount of boost to try it on bae
Share please, when it's all done.
Thank you sir for the great review. Very helpful. Say thanks and hello to your kids - great models, helping out with the review. Best wishes
See, this is how you review a clipper! Excellent.
Sir.. yesterday I bought whal elite pro.then I try it now but suddenly I'm very disappointed for this machine.because it cannot cut hair the blade is not good.. please tell me what I'm doing..thanks..watching Saudi Arabia
Thanks! Great review, covered all the points I wanted to know about these clippers. Cheers,
I just bought it from your review! I loved your review!
Oh, thank you very much! I really hope the clipper serves you well.
Thank you very much for such a great review, you cover all bases.
Good video very detailed, thanks for review.
Thanks John.
Did your clipper vibrate on your hand?
Yes, of course😄
Great review! Very detailed and informative. Keep it up. Subscribed and liked.
Thank you very much!
Great and comprehensive review, thank you! :)
Tennis Files thank you very much!
i was in the exact same boat, received mine today.
Oh Man, It's not the Apple unbox feel, but close. Lol
@@blackrose5774 haha yeah good product, thank you for the video.
Extreme Grip VS Wahl Elite Pro HELP
Thanks that so helpful 👍🏼
loved you and the video was great
Thanks Steve, the boys made me do it, lol.
Excellent review! Thank you.
Andre Utrecht thank you
Thank you for sharing. Great Review!
Thanks Ramon!
Great review fella. Well done 👌
I am wondering to buy it since mine broke today, can I use this for 2,3 - 2,5mm?
I'm not sure but it comes with a kit of blades.
Thanks for the review good sir !
when you zoom up close for us to listen to the sound, why do the blades look slanted?
Oh yes, I see what you mean Joe! I'm not sure why that is. It came out of the box like that, so I just kept using it without asking questions. lol.
@@blackrose5774 haha i wonder if you are able to claim that for warranty. not sure if it was designed to be slanted.
@@joenyc LOL. It won't be a bad idea to try. Thanks for bringing that up. I thought it was unusual but my knowledge of these stuff is limited.
I just bought these and noticed my blade was slanted. I loosened the two top screws and moved the plate so its level. Are they suppose to be slanted?
Hey Adam, I’m not so sure myself, try it out and let us know how it goes. Thanks
Thank you for doing such a well done, thorough review! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you Jenny, I appreciate the support!
Very good review. Thank you.
Thanks!
sorry to ask, because i dont know the parts like small comb with number and sizes are those metal?
Hi, yes the they’re all plastic. Thanks
Just great review!
Good video. Where did you buy these clippers? You did a decent job with your kids haircuts.
Thank you very much! I bought mine at Walmart.
Not easily found in local or web markets.....
May be Corona crisis made people buy it in crazy way.
In my area almost impossible to find it and if you find one, it is 3 times more expensive. This is regard all clippers.
Demand and supply. I won't be surprised.
What's the weight of the clipper alone?
What is voltage range 220 v or 110 v?
what is its voltage rating...
Is zero gap possible?
I just bought the same machine, is it just mine or when i turn it on it makes a rough noice at the beginning!?
Good work on the review btw!!
Thank you! Mine give me a a hard clicking sound when it starts as you can hear in the video, but it's always done that since day one. I thought maybe it is normal.
@@blackrose5774 It's normal. The hard clicking sound is actually an electrical arc that sparks inside when you flick the ON switch and the electrical current flows into the device. It's a common thing with Wahl Clippers. The arc flash (or spark) is the same thing you sometimes see when plugging a plug into an electrical socket.
I actually could be mistaken about what is making the sound. Although it is common for an electric arc or spark to be present when switching on Wahl clippers, I believe the sound is actually coming from the shunt arm hitting the electromagnetic motor mount due the current/voltage spike experienced as the device is switched on initially. So basically, as the electricity rushes into the device and subsequently into the motor coils, this rush of electricity (current/voltage spike) causes the motor to be more powerful and pulls the shunt arm towards itself, to the point where they temporarily vibrating off each other, hence the louder clapping sound.
Wahl motors are simple but very uniquely designed and are well worth taking a look at how they work. They can be seen very easily by opening the case (make sure its unplugged).
"my kids - they dont sit still for nothing" - mine dont either :-)
Excellent job on yr review of the brand of WAHL clipper you bought
Thanks
Does your hair clipper get hot????
When I run it for over 30 minutes it starts to heat up.
How many price
Hi Hementa, depends on which country you live. Different retailers set different prices. Thanks
F in the chat for that mans hair that he cut 🤣
Is the wahl elite pro good beard trimming?
Hi Brandin, Thanks for your comment! I have never used it for beard trimming, but the advice I got is to use a dedicated trimmer. Thanks
Is it suitable for India
Hi Ritesh, that is a good question, it should work worldwide, just depends on if you have the right power adapter. I have looked up the instructions and manuals but can't find any details on the voltage ratings. ca.wahl.com/Products/Home-Grooming/Elite-Pro-3145.aspx Thanks
Your blade are not perpendicular bro right side is under ... i was experiencing same on my wahl balding ..
Thanks Mehdi, i realized it needed some alignment, and it's quite easy to do.
where i can get this???
Depends on where in the world you are. I bought mine at Walmart.
Very informative and useful. Thank you. The background music is unnecessary and disturbing to listening to your talking. It would be very nice for this video or any other video that the background music is excluded. Thanks.
Mine after 15 mins started to get so hot than I couldn’t touch it
how long is the cable bro ?
it's about 6feet long.
Y u shave that boys head
Um....because we shave our hair when it's long....
I don't see why you have to grab his head like a ball. I find it very annoying and stupid.
Hi cal me
I'm currently using the ga.ma pro8 at home.
Works well.
Clarification... Wahl says (fine print) it's their most powerful motor ever in their consumer clippers. The Wahl designer and others that use the V5000 motor are stronger and obviously the Seniors and more affordable Icons have the strongest V9000 motor.
Great review. Thank you!
Thank you!
Great review! Thank you!
Thank you!
