[@TheGoldenBear79]

Thank you so much for your honest answer to my question! I had a hard time finding any reviews comparing corded vs cordless trimmers. I figured corded would be more powerful, but I’m not a barber so it is nice to have someone who does use them that much to give me a straight answer! Thank you! I had long hair until I was starting to bald, so I went to the opposite side and shave it now. I have also had a full beard since I was 16 so I want one good trimmer to trim my beard and get my head short enough to make it easier to shave with a safety razor. I’m glad I gave up on the first video that the guy said nothing, he just had shit music while he cut a kid’s hair, but no information! I got tired of it and stopped watching it and tried yours! Night and day difference! Thanks again for your help answering the question that mattered most to me, power! Much appreciated bro! Have a great holiday! ✌️

[@adrianflory4516]

I follow all the big yotubers who cut hair and your videos are my favorite. very smart, well articulated, always informational. Great content.

[@jamieking4503]

Glad I found this video. You talk a lot of sense. Cordless versions work nicely for a few months but there's no longevity in them. Keep up the good work mate

[@marveljeck]

Thanks sir. You're one of the great vloggers here in youtube.

[@a.d.c7941]

I haven’t even watched this yet but had to go ahead and thank you for comparing the cordless with the corded. This is the video I have been looking for. Thank u

[@FIRMETimes]

amongst the greatest review I've ever seen and I agree, I mean you can't go wrong with magnetic. it just generates alot more power, easy to cut through the hair.

i have the oster fast feeds w the ceramic blade it works fantastic i have gad them for 2 years and they still cut as new

[@giancarlorivera8113]

I just bought a corded magic clip after watching this, I've seen that your new videos focuses on cordless, can't blame you because of sponsorship. But still, thanks for this honest review that helped me decide on what to purchase.

thanks for the video and comparision. just picked up the wahl 5 star senior corded. what ceramic blade would you recommend for it. I've been looking online and seems like i've been coming across ceramic blades for the cordless and not the corded. will those still work are the blades the same across the corded and cordless? thanks in advance

[@a.d.c7941]

So I just watched it and great great great review!!! And I could not agree more! Thank u for helping me make a wiser choice. My question; why the feeds over the corded senior??

I've just bought the cordless. Are they charged out of the box? I've been told to charge them however when I put them on charge the blue light turns off within seconds which means it's full already.. .? Thanks

im having a hard time adjusting the cordless clipper blade.. its having a hard time cuttin through thick hair especiallyyyy with the 1/16th guard doesnt even cut at all with it

[@ryanhill7318]

Agreed 100% I have a Cordless Designer that I loved at first....5 fades and they're on their way to a charge. A friend gave me her old beat up Corded designers and they bumped the cordless model!

[@taahakhalifa8072]

Can I use the Cordless whilst its corded? And does it give the same power that the Corded version does?

[@ssgunner3222]

Great vid. I just got the cordless magic clip and also have the corded magic clip. Big difference in both but from what I understand the corded mc have the same blade as the seniors (2191). It may be preference, i really like both mc but find the stagger toothe easier for fading.

[@furkany7335]

Man can you please tell me whichone is better ? Cordless mc or corded mc?

[@behindthebarber8919]

Honesty reviews! Might get back to the corded clippers. Can you do a comparison with the classic 76s and the cordless detachable clippers in the future?

[@behindthebarber8919]

KZbin Barber Academy yea I saw it it’s definitely dope, just want to hear you comparing them to see of it’s worth getting the cordless or if it’s better sticking with the cord since that’s the case with a lot of clippers

Great review! I'm ordering mine now. Keep up the good work.

[@AxeMarko]

Hi! First of all, big respect for you. Watched a lot of your videos, a lot of great material for new barbers and the one who are in the game too. Been myself for 12 years now, I’m 28… :) Would like a ,,slap of reality” from you. I have Wahl Icon, Legend (best clipper ever, put the stagger tooth with that wedge blade - beast), Magic Clip corded, Balding and Wahl Detailer Li. The only cordless clipper I have. That said, I was thinking of getting a cordless Senior. Maybe I get a little more speed etc. I would take corded with no problem, but here in Serbia we don’t have it, and it does’t work with our electricity. So can’t just take it from USA. So, should I buy it? Would it make any difference or should I stay with what I have? Thank you in front, and keep up the great work that you’re doing!

[@joew7975]

I use cordless designers and love them and you can get cheaper than the magic clips Great review man

Hi. A great video. I got a question. ¿If you have to choose between wahl senior and wahl icon, which one you'll choose and why?

[@polskat6226]

As far as I am aware it's basically the same machine, the only difference is the senior has a fade blade and the icon a taper so if you put a fade blade on the icon you have a senior and visa versa ☺️

[@vincentdagostini9506]

Hello, so i am just starting ut as a new barber...lol like still in school new. Obviously u swear by these clippers and most likely gonna end up buying the senior corded. Also the andis t liners are being purchased, what other clipers would u buy for your Arsenal.

[@jakec5618]

Great points.

[@kersman09]

Good review..lil tip though, anyone who knows anything about motors will know they have a lifespan too regardless if it runs off of a battery or not.. ps the cordless seniors are awesome! I’m still very happy with mine!

[@arnaldobatista6221]

The corded version is a vibrating pliers immersed in a coil generated electromagnetic field. The cordless has a regular rotating motor. The rotating motor is a high speed system and will last less than the electromagnetic vibrator: there is very low wear in the electromagnetic system, besides the coil itself that heats a bit.

[@mike8462]

Corded is always way much better, it never runs out of battery...... That's for sure, and whatever I go there's a place where I can connect it.

[@sholashola9122]

Even in a forest, both would be useless after a month.

[@giancarlorivera8113]

And that is when learning scissors over comb is needed.

[@freshskyy]

Magnetic can't beat the rotary club ... I got them all and to be honest all it took for me was to change blades ... In every machine there is always a hiccup but thts my opinion. Good video but corded edition varies due to the day and how the voltage at your work place travels to the machine . Cordless is a battery. For a cordless it's a beast compared to all other cordless and even the masters and fast feeds... My seniors cordless goes through hair like a speed boat on water . The senior corded model apertures which moves the magnetic system breaks as well .The knocking sound when the switch is turned on or off ,that wears and tears .. A simple change of cords are just not enough and then to remember the blades on the magnetic system moves the blades and snaggs clients .. The companies will never give a completed version of any machines simply caused it will directly bring inconveniences to the shareholders.. It's still a great video an one to make the conpany to know that barbers are not as dumb as they think ... I will like this now but I won't knock off the cordless .

The 5 star magic and 5 star senior corded are exactly the same other than looks. Same motor and blades. The crunch/staggered blade is for the cordless magic

[@ASVP5]

Got the magic clips cordless for $25, and the corded model for 25 a few years back. I like the shape of the cordless more, and the balance. But if I need to take hair down, corded all the way.

Wahl magic or legend or senior (all corded ) which is better ?

[@giancarlorivera8113]

When it comes to price, Legend, Senior then Magic clip...that is why I got the Magic Clip with the same motor as the Senior (v9000 made in USA) for a much cheaper price among those you stated. Legend has a longer lever among the two, while Senior's blade is a bit thicker than a magic clips fade blade.

For me my personal experiences with the cordless seniors because i didnt own the magic clips and the seniors just came out I decided to purchase them and its been one of my best buys of the year as far as barbering tools especially since I cut my own hair going cordless was definitely a game changer, I love them to death, and if it happens to die out you still can plug and use sooo no fuss no musk. My next best purchase of 2019 is the new 1.5 and .5 gaurds andis came out with now i get to use my double magnetic guards with more confidence on my fader blade masters which cuts from a oct 3 to 5 which is super close and also go back to using my of course fast feeds with ceramic blade too but i have the medium not the coarse and blends are still fire. So yea new andis gaurds definitely can only help and they fit and cut right in place just as it should. Im glad andis did that because I get to put more clippers back in rotation again with confidence, and not be limited to wahls because of their gaurd system even tho wahls are dope and will never let you down if you kno the game plan and break down.

So you don’t have a problem replacing any parts on the corded clippers, but if the battery goes bad you just throw in the towel and say that’s it! Replace the damn battery! That comparison between the two was so biased! Your logic makes absolutely no sense, So replacing a few blades and a cord or two Is totally understandable but if a battery dies you just throw it out! Also we are not in the 1980s those clippers have a lithium ion battery in them and they will last a lot longer than two years! Everybody has a right to their own opinion, But you should not try and pass them off as if they are facts! Replacing a battery should be really easy for you, I can see plenty of tools in that shop to get it done!
