Purpose and attachments – As always, first of all we have to decide what we expect from the trimmer. Whether we buy it only for trimming hair or even for shortening the beard, for shaving, etc. From there will be deducted requirements for attachments, washability. Next, think about whether you will travel with it or only buy it at home, giving you an idea of ​​the dimensions, weight, and power required.

Power – For best professional hair clippers, you can choose from four types of power – electric, cordless, combined and battery powered.

Electric machines are powered from sockets and are therefore the most suitable for home. If you do not plan to travel with this appliance and know that you will only use it in the comfort of your home or where there are drawers, then it is ideal for you. However, the constant presence of the cable may be a bit of a nuisance.

The cordless movement works on the charging base. You plug it into the “station” for a while, it recharges, and you can use it at rest anywhere without the power outlets until it discharges.

Combined power means that the trimmer is recharged with a cable and can be used both disconnected and connected.

And the last third battery trimmer. This is not the best option, because it works on ordinary batteries, which you must always buy or recharge, charge. The problem is that such machines do not last long.

Stamina – With an electric trimmer, you won’t be able to deal with this information at all, because it has to be constantly plugged in and has unlimited stamina. But if you are buying a rechargeable or rechargeable battery, be sure to look at its durability and choose the one that has the longest of all.

Blades – Ceramics, titanium or stainless steel? If you don’t care about the price, choose titanium. Titanium knives are very difficult to dull, are of the highest quality, self-sharpening and washable underwater. But they are also the most expensive.

Ceramic knives are similar to titanium self-sharpening and do not blunt, but can not be washed underwater. However, they are cheaper than titanium. Beware of their fragility, it is ceramics, movement will fall and knives can break.

Stainless steel is the cheapest option. Knives are not sharpening themselves and can not be used underwater and quite dull, but the machines with them are relatively cheap. That is why we recommend especially twice a month for those who will be using the movement more festively.

Dimensions and weight – Even dimensions and weight are important. It would be best if you “touched” the trimmer before buying. Buy one that is not too big, fits well in your hand and is not too heavy. In particular, weight matters because you will often use it yourself and therefore you should be able to keep it over your head for a long time and handle it differently.
