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 the depth of cut, and the attachments provide a nice range of cutting depths.
The only thing I found problematic was brushing/cleaning the device. To do this you're instructed to remove the cutting head (this is how it's oiled as well). It's a bit awkward in that you have to push against the white ceramic part harder than what is comfortable. I suppose I'll get used to it, but it's one area that could use some refinement.
Not that I'm complaining though – for the price, this is a no-brainer and an excellent trimmer. The fact they provide two batteries is simply stunning, since two years is about max for most lithium rechargeables. Here's tip: when you get the device, charge both batteries fully so that the spare has a charge in it. There's nothing worse than to leave a lithium battery discharged fully over time. If you have the discipline, swap batteries every month or three to keep them both alive longer.
Simply put: you won't regret this purchase.
EDIT AFTER THREE YEARS: It’s still going strong – nothing has broken and it still operates as if it were new. I oil it every few months and swap the battery every 6 months or so just to keep the wear even. A truly amazing device at a truly amazing price… I’m going to buy a second one.

Cheap price, cheap quality
I'm not sure what clippers other people have been using to compare these, but compared to the $20 pair of Wahl Color Pro this is a bit lacking in quality and performance. The cordless design and battery life seem good, the two rechargeable batteries is the reason I went with this one, but the power is obviously less compared to non-cordless clippers, as expected. The major problems I have are the quality and precision. This device is the epitomy of cheap "Made in China" products, it claims to be "Professional", but I doubt any serious hair dresser would ever use this. The plastic looks cheap and feels cheap, the plastic "chrome" adjustment ring at the base looks trashy and has obvious casting seams in it. The ring and the power switch look and feel like cheap parts so we will see how long they last.The combs are very inaccurate in their heights, and the device itself has a built 0.8mm minimum clearance, which does not appear to have been accounted for in the combs, in addition to the fact that the combs already sit loose on the cutting head with a small gap between the blades, so the 3mm comb in reality cuts around 4mm (or more, see photos), which is actually very noticable when you are used to using a real 3mm comb. If you shave your head regularly like I do it's obvious when your hair is 30% longer than normal after cutting it. If I first use this with the 3mm comb it ends up being very spotty with stray hairs and does not give a uniform look. If I use my Wahl afterwards, it picks up everything that was missed and makes for a much cleaner look and feel. I will say that these are super quiet compared to every other clipper I have tried, including other coordless models, and the included scissors seem decent.The pictures given my the manufacturer are a bit misleading, I got the grey color, and the stationary blade is a brass color, while the moving blade is some sort of white ceramic. It does seem to cut well compared to other coordless trimmers, not sure how the materials will hold up, it does seem to get fairly warm during use.Not sure if the convenience of cordless out ways the poor performance. I like the dual batteries but the charger leaves much to be desired and the fact that there is no included case for all the parts is annoying. I don't know if I will keep this, I've found that just leaving off the 3mm comb and adjusting the blade to the max actually gives me a decent cut that is closer to the 3mm I want, but using this without a comb tends to pull hairs and catch. Overall, not impressed, but not disappointed enough to return it...yet.
