dmc: We have had this set for just over two years. I just looked up the order date to check. We have used them monthly for the past 25 months.
I love the way they cut. I love the cordless factor. I think I've only charged them around 4-5 times max in the past two years. So battery life is outstanding. I like that the clipper guards are not as bulky as many others and the adjustable blade.
Two cons. One, my son's hair always looked like all the ends were splitting after I cut his hair. I don't know if that was from the clippers or the scissors, though. So it might not actually be an issue.
Second, it just broke. I have kept it in the original box. While it has traveled with us a few times, it's always packed well and taken care of. I took it out of the box the other day to cut my husband's hair and the power button was dislodged. We did get it to turn on once, but then it wouldn't come back on again.
It served us well, but I feel like 2 years was kind of a short lifespan. Maybe I was expecting too much from it.

K. J. Kalin: For 40-some years, I have wondered how I would look with a buzz cut. If I had still had my Oster Lucky Dog clippers I would have been extremely tempted to try it back in March, even with most of the blades having a broken tooth. I am very glad that I waited. I did a very nice-looking buzz cut in a short amount of time with this Sminiker set. It was very easy to trim evenly with the clipper guides. I have very small hands, and a set of full-sized clippers for doing my own hair would probably be unwieldy and heavy, too, so I really like the smaller size and lighter weight of these Sminiker clippers.
I did cut my hair back in March, and the results were good, but the back was longer and fuller than I wanted, and I could see an unstoppable mullet coming. That’s now history, and I think that I do look good with a buzz cut. I would encourage other women to go ahead and try it, whether you do it yourself, or have family do it for you. I would never have had the nerve to ask for one in a salon, but doing it myself was an attractive option, especially since I just wanted a plain buzz cut with no fades, zigzags and with a slightly longer top. That’s exactly what I achieved....

Bigh: I'm very impressed with this device. I've cut my own hair for over a decade, and have a couple of Wahl trimmers that are bulletproof. On a recent trip that was unexpectedly extended, I had to buy a trimmer. I bought a cordless Wahl set that was over twice the price of this trimmer even though it was on sale, and was shocked when I got it home... it vibrated and was so noisy that I couldn't stand the thought of using it. Truly a smh moment for a fine American company.
I returned that device and looked to see what was available on Amazon. This one seemed to stand out, and the price was unbelievably low. To my delight, it seems to be the excellent value that the other reviews state. The heft is a little bit light and plasticky for my tastes, but you can see good engineering and design decisions throughout. Most of all, it's is exceedingly quiet... significantly quieter than my classic Wahls, and quieter than I thought a clipper could be.
It cuts well, but I did get more of a sense of hair pulling when trimming my beard than I do with the Wahl. Not sure whether it's the ceramic blade or what, but it's not really alarming or annoying. The chrome ring at the bottom adjusts...

Works as advertised, very quiet and easy to clean. Charge actually lasts around 8 hours and it does charge very fast. The entire clipper feels like high quality, it’s hefty and actually feels like it should cost way more since it’s so solid and sleek.
I’m impressed, buying an identical replacement was a no-brainer.
