felix Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ok, my Wahl KM just died in the middle if clipping Bruno. He looks, well, like not finished. I was immediately thinking of getting another Wahl, but I remember people here talking about cordless clippers recently. I have few questions about those. How long can they work with one charge? Is it possible to use it like corded one as well? What brands are recommended? And whatever else you know about them, please. I have to hide Bruno in the meantime, somebody might call RSPCA for abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) what a sight he must be.... I am a fan of the Wahl KM2's - usually have 2 sets on the go and a 3rd set as back up - just in case. Have killed one set already and have another 3 sets put aside to be serviced - hope my clipper man can keep them going. Also have a set of Oster that have only been lightly used, put back in box as I just don't like the feel of them. Can't remember what the outcome on the cordless was but think most were recommending the corded clippers.

Silverblue Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I would go for another pair of Wahl KM2, work has the Osters & I don't like them, they are too heavy, & when they warm up they don't cut very well, so I use my own Wahls at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodle3081 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Wahl have a new professional cordless clipper that has a run time of 90 minutes and they claim it cuts faster than a KM2. It can also be run off mains power but the main disadvantage is that it does not take the standard A5 blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalMad Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'd go with the Wahl switchblade clippers, i find them better than the KM2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my stainless steel guard combs although they are quite flexible so if the get knocked the will bend the teeth, i have replaced a few over that past 12 months but they go through the coat really smooth and don't fly off of they snag.

felix Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I would get Wahl, but it seems that they have less that desired lifetime. Shouldn't they last longer? These Lazor RX, anybody have any experience with them? They are about the half the price of the Wahl, and 3 times cheaper than Andis. But I know nothing about them. The regular A5 blades seem to fit, which is important, I have 4 blades. Anybody have those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 PM Ellz, she has a Lazor, so do I but I don't use mine a lot, only for trimming my BCs butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I love my wahl KM2s! They've got through every type of coat I've tried them on without a problem (including my brother's hair when his cheap clippers died when he was cutting his own hair lol).
