Wahl Professional Vacuum Clipper #8566 – Great for Professional Stylists and Barbers – v9000 Electromagnetic Motor – Durable Metal Housing

I love these clippers! I tried other vacuum clippers which did not hook to a vacuum and they did not have the suction power. Those clippers did not last very long, only about a year. My son says these feel good. They dont hurt his head. (He has autism.) I didnt even know the last ones ones hurt his head (pulled his hair) until I got these.These clippers have to be self aligned, but this this is not difficult. Great high quality product. My only complaint is the case it come with is made very cheap plastic. Mine was actually cracked when I received it so I dont even use it, this is not a big deal for me I found a plastic bin to keep it in which protects it better.I also want to point out I have had other wall clippers in the past with colored clipper attachments and they fit this clipper. I love this.This clipper needs to be taken care of with oil each time to have it running well. Clean up is so nice with this one. No hair all over my son with his sensitivities.....Best clippers ever, it is rather heavy due to the bigger motor so be aware and it is not quite since it has to hook to your vacuum but it is worth it.This is a great purchase. I read reviews stating vacuum hose to short. I dont have issue with this. I also cant rate the battery life because this product is not rechargeable. Cord only. Love that about the product. A+++

I received this this morning and cut my wife's hair and mine. If you cut hair you will love this setup, smart idea and it works great. It lifts the hair enough that you get a nicer even cut and sucks it away so you have no mess. You might not like the noise of the sweeper or vacuum but for the finished cut I can put up with that, you could also get a longer hose for the vacuum and move it someplace else. The clippers are a little more bulkier than the regular clippers but the trade off is worth it, I just wished I would of bought this sooner so I didn't have so many sets of Wahl clippers. It also take a little longer to setup the work area and put away if you cut at home but that too is ok because of the lack of hair all over the place, you can even cut your hair in the bathroom or kitchen if you want, no mess, with your shirt on. I recommend this product now but will update more after more use. Enjoy.Update: Still using it and still love it. Update: August 21 2019 I bought this August 9 2014 and it is still working great. And the Rubbermaid container works great for storage too.One of the other reviewers said they use a 24 cup rubbermaid container model 7J76 Rubbermaid 7J76 Easy Find Lid Rectangle 24-Cup Food Storage Container I am going to order one of these for storage of the hose and clippers.

First, I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy this product, I'm saying when you buy this, don't be surprised when you find you'll also have to buy a new and better quality hose from some material supply shop to make it pleasant to use. McMaster?The hose is about as cheap as could be made and still be called a hose. When I bought this, it was $75 while flowbees and such were just north of $100. Unfortunately, the cost difference will likely be nil when I incorporate the cost of a functional hose that's long enough and doesn't kink and block flow. I'm nearly 6.5 feet tall. The hose is so flimsy that it doesn't bare the weight of my vacuum's hose when attached to it. If I turn the clippers upside down, the weight of the vacuum's hose on the flimsy hose causes the flimsy hose to kink and block air flow entirely.What's nice about this is that you get some decent clippers (vibration type, not motor driven) that have the hair sucker thing built on. You don't need to use the vacuum away feature if you don't want to. The clippers will just function like ordinary clippers if you want to go that route.If I find a source for a better hose, I'll update my review to include it's source.

I got this mainly because my son is super sensitive about hair falling on him during hair cuts and it causes huge drama every time we cut hair. Also my husband and I cut our hair once or twice a month ourselves and it would be nice not to have to clean up a bunch of hair every time. This works so amazing! I was surprised when I cut my son's hair from a super shaggy long mop to 1/8 inch buzzcut he had almost zero hair fall on him, and in doing a regular trim there's really no need to even take a shower after cutting. It's quite amazing. The hose attachment actually doesn't fit quite right on my dyson ball vaccuum, but I was able to secure it okay using the included thick rubberband and the suction seems to be quite sufficient. So, no more cleaning up hair from everywhere, just clip and go for us!

The clippers themselves work REALLY well.However, the vacuum attachment is a bit shoddy for the price. The hose is incredibly flimsy, so when hooked to my Dyson vacuum it is literally crushed by the sucking power! In effect, it cuts off the airflow and there is no vacuum. I had to reinforce the hose with duct tape so that it wasn't so easily bendable.The other issue with the vacuum connection is that the connector is really a one-size fits one-size, meaning it does not adjust to attach to multiple types of vacuums. I had to fashion a "coupler" piece out of some plastic I had around the house in order for it to attach to my vacuum.After these adjustments, this contraption was truly awesome. I shave my head about every week, and HATE having to clean up the hair. With this, there was barely any hair in the bathroom sink, and clean up was a breeze.But for $80, the vacuum attachment should have been a lot better.

You would be better off with the Panasonic ER224S. I could not get the various plastic clippers to stay on the unit. The unit is bulky and noisy. The Panasonic unit is much less expensive. You adjust the clipper length by turning a dial. Worked the first time and did an excellent job.
