Andis Slimline Pro Li (listen before you buy)

Andis Slimline Pro Li Listen before you buy.
This is one of the things in my life that I have a love/hate relationship with. Let me know how you feel about this trimmer.
What's your favorite trimmer?

[@texastrillahh]

so basically.... the slimline pro li is a good clipper. just the switch?

[@shawspeaks8252]

Man the Slimline Pro Li is an Amazing trimmer, even with the switch problem... I could just be the kind of person who is hard on the plastic switch that they put on the trimmer... I have started putting them in the stand to charge that keeps them out the draw bumping into other clippers when not being used... I think this will make the switch last, if not just last longer... Man thanks for taking the time to watch and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... It really means a lot... Thanks Texas... you made my day... may yours be Blessed & Safe Brother...

[@texastrillahh]

Shaw Speaks no problem man. i cut my own hair and i had the andis t outliner and mannnnn it didnt even last long i couldnt even do an edge up on myself and they wasnt even cutting bald or NOTHING and theyd leave red marks. im just trying to find something that hits ans cuts bald and i can finally do my edge ups crisp cause im tired of having to bald my hair for messing it up cause the clippers wont hit. i always wanted to be a barber but never went to barber school but i been cutting my own hair since i was like 10 lol

[@pjay4736]

What’s the best cordless clipper on the market? I figured to go with andis or wahl

[@BryantFeaster]

That’s what I’m thinking as well, but I don’t cut friends or family anymore, it’ll just be for my beard. So they’ll be great for me. Thanks for the review

[@shawspeaks8252]

Texas, man I understand. I wish I could give you a magic bullet (clipper/trimmer) that would be the end all to your pain, but let’s face it... when most not all clipper manufacturers went to making Cordless clippers they sacrificed build quality. Kind of no way around that. I been cutting hair since I was 10 as well. The only thing that will make you more comfortable with any clipper is using it. It don’t matter the brand. That’s why I like these little trimmers they cheap. Just like the price. I look at it as getting more for your money. They are disposable hitter to me. Lol burn phones of the barber world. Lol much Respect brother

[@thegimpiessocialclub3113]

More blessings to you brother. Thank you for this video. I bought an Andis Slimline Pro months ago, and it's served me great so far - this is my first trimmer purhase ever. It's nice to be able to hear an experienced barbers perspective on different trimmers.

[@bigdawg9283]

Thanks bro. This was the perfect video for me. These were all the trimmers I was trying to decide between. I was stuck but your video above all the others helped me make my decision. Buying slim proline right now.

I’m a brand new barber and have had trouble deciding on what new trimmer to invest into and after watching I’m sure it’s the slimline. The video was dope, keep up the great work💯

[@shawspeaks8252]

Andrew thanks for watching... I am glad I could help, the Slimline Pro Li is the best trimmer for the price... I have not found any trimmer that I feel cuts better for less than 100 dollars. I dont feel I found one that cuts better at any price, but the build quality is equal to the build of more pricey trimmers... thanks again for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment. Comments mean the world to me... New barbers do as well... Your the future... Thanks again, Much Respect and Stay Safe

Thanks your video helped me decide. My corded Andis T-Outliners don't work in this country even though the voltage for my house has been "converted" to 120 (step down transformer does work either).

[@shawspeaks8252]

it's because of the Frequency overseas its 220-240 here its 110-120 but the Freq is 60hz here and 50hz there. something that is meant to run on 60hz sounds horrible on 50hz. I had a converter when I lived in Germany and Afgan my clippers ran so loud I just went out and bought a cheap pair of 220 clippers. never even knew the name. I just could not deal with the noise. I bought dual voltage photo studio lights there just because I didn't want to have to carry a converter everywhere. now I wish I would have saved the money and just sold the converter when I left. lol I learned so many costly mistakes around voltage...

I bought the andis fade kit where they come with the black slim lines and the andis envy’s with the fade blade; i use the envy’s for balding the hair or taking out the bottom line so I don’t mess up my trimmer blades. I recommend getting the kit if anybody is looking for a great balding clipper and a nice trimmer; I love andis the slimlines are so good for line ups on any type of hair.

[@shawspeaks8252]

I just want to say when it comes to these clipper companies... yes they have us over a rail... just like the phone market... they make little improvements look like major perks and they seem to choose that over build quality no matter the brand. Pick one lol they all have their down side... the biggest one to me is price. Just between me and you... the Outliners are starting to grow on me... they have lasted longer than I would have given them credit. But they are new to the market still so thats not saying a lot... man my bad I comment like you...

[@jameslay9538]

I have three words for you addiction by design. I think if we can get away from this rat race of the addiction of new designs we will probably be better off. Most things are not being designed for quality nowadays but more so for a quantity.But if we can find something to stick with that’s lasting and that’s gonna work long term by all means make it work for you my brother. Take for instance the automotive world from 61 two 2020 we went from steal cars to practically driving plastic on the road, we went from a long lasting craftsmanship to near plastic fiberglass cars on the road. Does that mean that Ford and the makers of Volkswagen had it wrong no but they were more so pushed into the rat race of just making things just for the sale of it to make money. But enough with my rambling just stay blessed brother.

[@shawspeaks8252]

Wait brother you have one of the best trimmers ever made in your hand... The T-outliner is one of the best trimmers ever made... only thing better to me it the GTX which i hate because the teeth on the blades break so easy... Man I would say the only down side to the T-outliner is the fact it has a cord... but when you give up a cord on the outliner you also give up the quite sound that comes with it... The slimline pro Li is a nice trimmer... I like it because it is the cheapest trimmer that cuts almost as well as a corded clipper... I am only waiting for a really good trimmer to come out without a cord... I don’t feel like it will be any time soon. Man thanks for watching get the blades that you have adjusted and the trimmers sound hit... I used those for almost 25 years before cordless ever came out... safe your money and learn to set your tools.... it will save you more money over the long run... The Li will need to be adjusted as well... Much respect and thank you for watching and leaving a comment... Stay Safe

[@afridoma1166]

Bro, thanks for sharing your professional opinion about the clippers. I do my beard trimming and lining at home, I currently have 3 Wahl clippers but the blades leave nasty cuts on my cheek, they cut too deep no matter how I try to limit the contact on skin, and as Blackman razor isnt good for me. Will Andis pro-line cut my beard sharp without cutting my skin? Thanks

[@shawspeaks8252]

Yes, BUT... They can be set to cut to close as well. I feel it is harder to set Andis clippers too close because they make both their cutting blade and stationary blade thicker. I feel Wahl makes theirs to thin. It's like 2 razors moving past each other. It can be a good thing in the right hands but I am much like you and for whatever reason Wahl Clippers, and Trimmers don't work well for me. I will tell you the one that I have found to have the smoothest cut on the skin is the Silver FX Trimmer. The Blades are very thick and very well rounded... I use those to set my bald guideline in just before I use my Shaver for a Skin fade. I also use them to shave my head. They just dont make as crispy of a line as the Slimline Pro Li... Not saying they cant be... I just know how to set a Slimline Pro Li in my sleep so thats why I use them and love them... I have had so many now and been using them for so many years. Its just a all around trimmer and it cost less. Not saying its the best. Just saying for the cost it is... It performs better than those that cost 4 times more... it just feels cheap! Sorry for being so rude... Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. They really mean a lot to me if you can't tell... Much respect and I hope that my comment answered your question... Stay tuned for some of my upcoming videos I use all these clippers in my videos you can see how they cut.

Just bought 1. Its amazing. No need to keep rebuying...just get yourself a soldering iron. Learn to use it on your spare time. The switch is basic electronics knowledge. Learn abt the switch and how it works. Visit your local electronic shop and purchase a strong switch similar to it. You may have to solder then glue it on afterwards. Just learn abt it which is easy and fix or replace it with your new switch. Ive modified many weak products for example chinese products and turned them into many long lasting quality products just by simple soldering, glueing and other minor readjustments. Im no tech here im just a basic hobbyist. So when mines break im more than sure there is a way to fix it and im going do it and make it stronger and better

Hello! How are you? I am from Argentina and this machine is highly recommended, the problem is that they have their problems in the future, since they last only 1 year or even less and their problems come, since here the dollar is too high to give you an idea in my currency I am paying the price of 3 of those for 1. So I am trying to find a trimmer that will last me at least about 2, 3 years with no problems as I am not in a favorable financial situation at the moment. What do you recommend me?

[@shawspeaks8252]

I think this is a good trimmer. I can not say it is worth paying 3 times the cost. It makes my whole reason for using them go out the window. I would not be able to give you my word that this clipper is going to last you. I choose to use them because I look at them as a just better than disposable. The price works for me because this is what I do for work. I can say they work well and if you care for them well they will last. I don't care for my tools, they are meant to work and thats what I use them for. I would look for another option if you are worried about price and reliability.

Damn right bro. Why in the hell do I have to zero gap a $60 dollar clipper? I'm not a barber. Good video!

[@chadlooking35]

I agree these are the best trimmers out of the box period. But my andis trimmers keep losing teeth on the blade, just one tooth missing and they won't cut right and I can tell every time a tooth breaks on the blade...the metal is too brittle. I have went through 4 pair of andis so far and have replaced the blades and they do the same thing after a while or they begin to lose their charge. It is a love ,hate relationship. thanks....bro for your experience...I have yet to experience the switch breaking though. Lots of thanks, Chuck

Excellent review. There is another trimmer Kemei km-i32 or km-i32S which is similar to Babyliss but budget friendly. If you could do a comparison review of Km-i32 while shaving facial hair it would be very helpful for the people who use trimmers to shave.

Great vid, I’m looking for good affordable clippers (not trimmers). Do you have any recommendations?

[@shawspeaks8252]

Almighty I am going to be straight with you at this moment I dont have anything I feel safe recommending. Not because all things are bad. I am saying as far a clippers I have not tried anything new in a long time. lol when you find something that works? I dont spend money just to spend money even when making videos... lol I have been using my same setup (Oster Octanes) for the past 5 years solid and I threw in a Masters cordless (TOOO LOUD) in the last 3 years. I dont use anything other than that no guards just 000-2 blade and clipper over comb. I wish I could be more helpful but I truly do not enjoy looking for new tools. I feel these days they all can do what they are meant to do its more what fits in your hand. I dont have a problem with anything not having power or cut time. Cords are quite, cordless is (game changing) lol I would say dont pick the cheapest or the most expensive and you wont be mad. I feel my set up is expensive but it is built to last. it has Lasted! also hard to use for most people. these days read reviews that is your best way to know what to expect. no/few reviews don't buy I could go on and on lol Much respect Deku

My slimline pro li does not seem like they cut close

[@VxNJremix]

Hey, I just asked my barber which one he uses and he told me it’s andis brand but I don’t know which one to get. I’ve tried several beard trimmers before but I haven’t found one that can actually cut my neck all the way like my barber does every time. When I try to shave in my crib there’s always hair left on my neck even when I used the shortest possible blade. Which one out of these Andis products would you recommenced that will do the job for me when I try to clean up my beard and be able to clean up the neck fully?

[@shawspeaks8252]

Vamp any Trimmer will do... You need to learn how to set your blades for closeness but not to close and then get you and Shaver to clean up what the trimmer leaves behind. Thank you for watching and even more for taking the time to leave a comment... Try the ANDIS Shaver it should work well for what you are looking for... Much Respect and Stay Safe

Hi. Good video! I want to buy Andis Slimline Pro for home use, however, I'm afraid that it may cut the skin and I have a mole over my lip. What do you recommend? Maybe some alternatives?

[@shawspeaks8252]

I think the Slimline Pro Li would be a good choice for you as long as you dont Zero Gap them. If you feel they just really are not for you, you could always try the Wahl Peanuts they are made for use on kids. should work well for you but you can not adjust how they cut. If you try them let me know what you think. thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Thanks again

[@rezin7763]

Shaw Speaks i don’t wanna zero gap it. You think it won’t cut a mole then? I’ve read in reviews that Slimline Pro often cuts the skin, that’s why i’m afraid. I think Slimline Pro is the best choice for me though.

[@JB-wp4nu]

Shaw Speaks these sharp enough to get a crisp hairline straight out the box? Or they need to be zero gapped? Trying to decide which to buy either slimline or the reg t outliner

[@coltonlawhorn5170]

In Slimlines, we trust 🤝

[@hamzarashid1936]

Thanks for the review dawg. One thing I heard is that the Li takes more strokes to cover the head rather than the t outliner because the t outliner got a wider blade but I guess this makes the Li easier to go round the ears. What do you reckon, does it take a lot longer to go round the head with the Li?

[@shawspeaks8252]

I would say yes... It is a smaller blade on the Li but i dont think it is that much different... I would say I like the Outliner better for cutting a head bald I don’t use it for that except on my own head... They are both great trimmers for shape ups or line ups... thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment... Much respect and stay safe...

Did the button of the andis trimmers break because they’re just not built correctly or just because you pressed or pushed it to hard to turn it off/on ? 🤔

[@shawspeaks8252]

Andrew, Thanks for watching, and commenting with a question... I believe its because the switch is built cheap, with a combination of them hitting up against other clippers in my draw... it is a great trimmer, I just hate the switch breaks so often... I have not had one break in a while now and I have 4 pair... only reason I have 4 is because I have had the switch break so often... I have been over a year now with no problems at all.

[@kyles.3514]

Great video. I've been trying to find some good quality facial hair trimmers after a Remington set I had for many years finally died. So in the last few months I've tried three different brands that I've found in stores in my area from around $25-$40... Another Remington, a Philips Norelco and a cheap set of Wahls. They are all absolutely terrible. Now it takes me forever just to clean up my neck and line up my beard and sideburns because I have to go over everything so many times to get all of the hairs cut as short as I can get them. It's been frustrating to say the least.. So now I'm doing research in hopes that I can start saving myself a lot of time shaving, especially since we found out that the wife is pregnant with twins.. Things are going to get crazy busy in a few months. Definitely not going to have time to dick around in front of the mirror for an hour... lol! But these Andis Slimline Pros are now probably at the top of my list based on reviews I've read and your video. I do have a couple of questions though, if you don't mind.. You said in the video that you don't zero gap them.. But do you still have to adjust the blade to get them to cut really close or do they cut close enough right out of the box? Also, do you have to use a blade setter to adjust the blades or can it be done without one? If you do use one, do you have a recommendation for a good one that works well with the Slimline Pro? Thanks man and keep up the good work!

[@shawspeaks8252]

You comment like me... Let me see if I can answer it all... Don’t mess with Cheap trimmers... seems better but bru you got a baby WOW (Twins)on the way! Congrats... Get something that will last... you might think you are saving money but when you see how much you will be replacing them you will understand after your first replacement why you made the wrong choice and will lead you to being forced to make the wrong choice again... Buy what you want when you get all the money . Zero Gap For the slimline Pro get the 10 sec blade setter on Amazon make sure you pick the right one... you don’t need a blade setter but it makes life easier... I did a video one the blade setter with this clipper check the Slimline Pro Playlist on my channel. Kyle I think I hit everything except to tell you thank you for watching... Thank you for making me feel so important that you took as much time as you did to craft up such a detailed comment... comments mean the world to me... I hope in know way that you feel like you wasted a moment of your time... Much respect Kyle... be safe stay safe and take care of those twins... lol you are about to have your hands full... if the slime line is over 80 dont do it... spend the extra and get the cordless outliner... better build quality should last longer if you only have one... If you get the Slimline pro treat it good it will treat you the same... thanks again
