Summary: Excellent Performance and Maintainance
Comment: After using a lot of different brands of hair clippers to clip my Yorkshire Terrior and sometimes my own hair, I never felt clippers were very good. Most clippers I have used at home seemed like junk compared to the ones barbers use. Clippers often became too hot, get clogged, and the hair attachments were especially useless. To clean and oil the blades, I had to always use mineral oil and hope the unit still would work pretty well next time. In many ways, most clippers I have used in the past were awful. I always wanted to buy a pair of clippers that would last more than a few clippings.
After seeing the Remington NoMess Clipper in the pet section at Walmart, I decided to take my chances and see how well they would cut my Yorkie's hair. I saw the vacuum that was part of the unit, but this idea seemed more of a novelty than useful. The box claimed that Remington blades did not need oil, which helped sell me the clippers. I hate oiling clipper blades. The Remington clippers were more expensive than other brands, but I felt that they were worth the extra money if they lived up to their advertised claims.
After clipping my Yorkie, I was impressed with these clippers. The blades did not get clogged or become too hot. The vacuum worked very well and did not get in the way of clipping. In fact, the vacuum helped me clip my Yorkie with speed and precision. A Yorkie is supposed to have very short hair around its ears and this task was always dangerous to do with previous clippers because the blades kept getting hot. Remington's clipper blades stayed cool. It almost seems like the vacuum blows cool air from the vent to cool down the unit. I was very impressed with how well these clippers worked. In fact, after clipping my dog, I cut my mom's Shih-Tzu with ease. A Shih-Tzu has a thicker coat of hair than a Yorkie and these clippers were able to buzz right through the hair with little effort.
After cutting two dog coats, I experimented on my own head and found the blade attachments fit very well on the clippers. The vacuum kept my floor clean and hair out of my eyes. The vacuum container is small, so it must be cleaned every few minutes, but this is a small problem and allows the motor to rest for a moment. The blades can cut closely to the skin. In fact, I had a little facial hair at the time, but the NoMess clippers removed a lot of the hair all over my face. After clipping my hair, I learned how to clean the unit. The blades easily pop off of the front of the machine and the included brush removes the excess hair that accumulates after a hair cut. The version I purchased was the NoMess Pet Clipper, but they look identical to this version on Amazon. These clippers are excellent and I would recommend them for use on a dog or human. Save some barber or animal grooming costs by using these well-engineered clippers.

Summary: Very pleased with clippers and vacuum!
Comment: Just cut my husbands hair for the first time and we were both very pleased. The little vacuum part is awesome! No hairs to vacuum up with the big vacuum and none down his neck.
Very pleased! Used the 1 inch size which is the largest length and happy with that.

Summary: Very Pleased
Comment: I purchased this haircut kit 4 years ago and have used it every month since then. It works very well, and I've saved lots of money by cutting my own hair.
It's true that the vacuum is not very strong, and that about 10% of the clippings will fall on the floor. But that's still a big improvement over regular hair clippers. It helps to frequently empty the the container that collects the hair clippings - the more often you empty it, the less clipping mess on the floor.

Summary: excellent product
Comment: This machine has lasted me 6 years. Today, after 6 years, the blades still work but the electrical plug isn't in the best of shape. I have to wiggle the wire to fix an intermittant power problem. If i manage to position the wire in the right spot, the machine turns on and works just fine.
But overall, I've been incredibly pleased with this product. It makes no mess, is durable, and does its job flawlessley. I'm ordering a second one!

Summary: Does a Good Job
Comment: I've only used these clippers twice, but both times the end result looked pretty good. My test subject was my husband and although the cut was shorter than what he was used too, he eventually liked it (after he got over the initial shock at seeing so much of his hair in the garbage can). I used the biggest cutter attachment hoping it would not cut it so short, but it did anyway. I can only speculate that if I used the smallest cutter attachment he would've had a buzz cut.
It cut very smoothly and evenly the back and sides though I took it gingerly on the top (not quite as much hair growing there). When I used it without any attachments it did superbly in giving a very straight cut on his sideburns and shaved his neck fairly well of wild hair growth. (Sounds lovely doesn't it?!) I had to empty it several times during both cuts, especially the first cut since his hair was a lot longer, but I just kept the kitchen garbage can nearby and it was very easy to empty the clipper vacuum compartment. The clippers also felt good to hold and I was able to move it easily through his rather course hair. The directions on how to cut hair didn't tell me how to do the top of his head, only the back and sides. I just had to kind of wing-it there.
I can't say that the haircuts looked super professional, but I think he looked fine. Sure beats the heck out of paying $12 dollars plus tip for a cut each month.
