Andis 73000 Envy Li Cordless Clipper - Rechargeable Hair Trimmer - Adjustable Blade Clipper, Close Cutting Zero Gapped - Pack of 1, female

I'll start by saying that I am not a professional barber but I have been cutting my own hair since the college days (About 10 years now). I normally switch between my Wahl Color Pro clippers or my Andis Masters. It was time that I tried something cordless since I occasionally provide free back to school haircuts for low income families and didn't feel like hassling with wires. These Envy clippers are A1!! They are SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT and come with some decent guards right out the box. The guards are not professional but for home cutting, they serve their purpose. I can blend without any issues. Been wanting to try my first self high top fade to get rid of the nappy afro and I think I good using these clippers. Took me almost 2 hours since it was my first try but the battery life was great and I did not notice a lack of power.Pros:- Ultra Lightweight (almost too light but feels good in hand(- You can get corded power if the battery gets low- Comes with some stable guards, great for fading!- Lasts 2-4 hours on one charge- Power button and adjustment lever feels SOLIDRoom for improvement?- After 5 uses so far, I have no complaints at all.

Without a barber available for the foreseeable future I had to look elsewhere. A friend who's been cutting/buzzing himself for years told me to forget the barber, just do it yourself, a buzz is easy. He recommended an Andis and the price on this model was attractive. VERY satisfied so far. Cuts like butter on my thick hair and I got a very presentable cut on the first try. I look forward to getting better at it and having years of the liberty to give myself a clean look whenever I want. For those who are newbies to home cuts like I was, this unit is a great solution. Much sturdier feel and action than the Wahl tools I've used over the years.

Update 9/18/19: So after using these for daily cuts, fades, blending etc. they just stopped working. Thought they were just out of charge so plugged them in and indicator light came on. Emailed over to Andis and they responded that as long as they were under 1 year old still under warranty they would fix free of charge. Shipping my clippers off this week so will update when they are returned with a new update.I've been using the Envy corded model for clearing bulk and wanted to try a cordless clipper. After looking through options I bought the Envy Li and a fade blade. Swapped the standard blade with the fade blade and these are my go to now. Easily stays charged and very light weight but still has power enough for all day cutting. Shop I work in is very busy and I use these all day for all hair types and have had no issues. Good value for a cordless setup. Glad I changed out the blade to the fade blade for the closer cuts on my fades.

I took a chance on getting this clipper even though there were some not favorable reviews, and so far I have not disappointed.I have had this clipper for the past several months and wanted to use it several times before writing a review to see if the combs held up and determine the build quality of the clipper. I want to see if the negative reviews were isolated occurrences or not.The combs and the body of the clipper are solid. The clippers have some heft to the and the motor runs very quietly and smooth.There is a lot of power to the clipper, and the battery life is excellent. After about 20 minutes of use, it took less than 3 minutes to fully recharge the unit. The clipper did not get warm after extended use.The combs are gray, have a slight of bit of flex to the teeth, but overall appear solid. I have seen and handled the combs at my stylist's (prior to the shelter in place) and her's seen a bit thicker, but she did indicate that at some point they all break.Considering the price point of the set (~$70), I am satisfied with the ones on this set. A plus is that this comes with 11 combs in the range that I use, 3, 4, 5 & 6. Most other sets do not include this many combs or in this range.After 4 uses, the combs have held up and the clipper's body is still solid with no quality issues.The other aspect of the clipper is really like is the ability to adjust the depth of the cut with the depth lever. This allows me to adjust the cut length for each comb and allows me to blend the cut.Overall, I had not had an of the issues noted in some of the other reviews, and will update this review in a couple of months after a few more uses. So, I would recommend this cutter.

Not having a cord on your clippers is a life saver. They save so much time and frustration. They also make clean up super easy because you have the convenience of moving around more. They also work well and the battery last long enough to cut my whole head of hair which normally takes an hour.

Bought these clippers to clip hair, but ended up not using them right away. Kept them charged, tested occasionally, then used them one time to trim the beard a little bit. Less than a minute of usage. A couple of days later, went to turn them on again, and nothing happened. Tried to charge, even though they were barely used and should have still been charged. After many hours of charging, attempted to use them again. Again, nothing happened. The battery or the motor is completely dead. After a single minute-long usage and no sign of anything wrong, the clippers just stopped working. Do not buy these, they are a huge waste of money! Very cheaply made and apparently fragile.
