Hi. I want a pro model for home use. I currently have Costco deluxe haircutting kit, model 3023330. Will the guards n ear taper guards work with the pro model? Magic clip, etc. thanks.

[@MrEegz297]

I have the corded balding clippers, which is great, but I want something cordless so I’m thinking of getting the magics, would this be a good replacement? Also can you zero gap the magics? I would use them for my beard trims/fades, then I shape up with the cordless detailers.

[@Wahlpro]

If you are looking for the closest cutting of the Cordless clippers, we would suggest the Cordless Seniors. Both these and the Cordless Magic Clips can indeed be adjusted to a zero-overlap.

Hi I want a cordless clipper to replace my corded Wahl Balding. I use the Balding with professional metal clip #1/2 guard and sometimes a #1 in the winter. So I already have the guards I need - BUT since the blades adjust it seems like I would not need the guards - correct?. I cut my hair every few days so never very long. Would like something that travels well (I understand the Senior is fairly heavy). Wondering how each of these would rate as a replacement? Leaning toward the magic clip and more or less zeroing out the blades and then using adjustment to cut at length similar to #1/2 guard - would this work???. Thanks.

[@mayeulli6533]

Yeah with the lever open you can do like with the 1/2 guard . If you want power the senior is the top 100%. The senior is heavier than legend and the magic clip but that's not too much. If you cut only your hair it is not too heavy and that feel good in hands . Also the senior have less battery ( 70min) compare to 90 for magic clip and 100 for the legend but the legend have litle mistake on is battery . If i was you i will get the senior, but If you want a light cliper the legend would be Nice i think beacause he has more power than the magic , also the senior is the must expensive.

Does the cordless senior have the same motor as the corded version? I want a clipper for longer hair cuts, not super clean short fades. Iv heard people can use the magic blades on the seniors? I suppose the benefit is stronger motor with the magic texturing blade . Also, the corded magic clipper does not have the same blade as the cordless right?

[@Wahlpro]

The Cordless Senior has a rotary motor while the corded version has an electromagnetic motor. The Corded Magic Clip has a fade blade while the Cordless Magic Clip has a stagger-tooth blade.

[@heythere6983]

Thanks. Iv seen people mention the staggered blades are like shears that texturize and thin hair out, is that a fair comparison? Or is simply more About how it texturizes the tips? I’d prefer a denser look if the blades make that much of a difference

[@Wahlpro]

If I use a legend could I add the staggered cutting blade? Would the legend operate the same in terms of lengths overall? Also, could I use a taper blade on the legend and still get the same throw?
