Customer Reviews of Oster 76076-010 Classic 76 Professional Hair Clipper
Customer Review: Fantastic hair clipper
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband likes to wear his hair in a "buzz" cut, just like those given to new military recruits. For several years, I cut his hair with a "Vidal Sassoon" clipper purchased at Wal-Mart. I hated it. Not only was it so loud that we both had to wear ear plugs, it didn't cut well, pulling his hair and leaving sprigs and gaps behind. It sometimes took up to an hour to finish cutting his hair, and even then I had to cut stragglers with scissors. This Oster clipper, which I believe is used by military barbers, is a marvel. It zips through my husband's hair like the proverbial hot knife through butter. We're all done in little more than 5 minutes. It has some heft to it, but it cuts so quickly that the weight is not a problem. And it's much less noisy. No more ear plugs required :) It cost about twice what we paid for the Sassoon clipper, but it's well worth it.Customer Review: Oster Classic 76

Powerhouse, Heavy and not justified for the home trimmer! Motor cooling vents are near top so if you are a self trimmer you will have your hand wrapped around the hot vents!
It's heavy The directions are very Simple and Leave you confused about how to swap the Blades! If you need to change them just pull the old ones away from Trimmer until the spring snaps open, then it's simple no tools needed. Definitely a real machine and No wonder it is the standard for professionals! I don't mind overkill for the homeowner but I may switch back to the Cordless remington some day for the light easy self trim. Want the best buy one of these but It may not work as well for the non pro and self trimmer! They are heavy and run hot. I would not return them Because I can tell they are well made and very powerful! Maybe I'll just get used to the weight, Cord and heat!
Customer Review: Excellent professional pair of clippers. A pleasure to use.
Summary: 4 Stars
For years I have shaved my head, and for years I have used low quality clippers because I didn't want to spend the money of the professional stuff. What a mistake. These clippers, while a bit large and unwieldy, are an incredible pleasure to use. I have lots of thick hair and the cheap clippers just bind up, get hot, make a ton of noise, and constantly miss hair. These clippers don't even change sound when I swamp it with my hair. Another positive aspect of these that is worth the price -- no crappy plastic guards are necessary, you can just get easily interchangable blades. I highly recommend these clippers to anyone who regularly shaves their head -- they may seem expensive when compared to a $30 set from Walmart, but after you use them just one time you'll realize that the cheapie ones are actually far more expensive.Customer Review: GREAT quality, powerful clipper
Summary: 4 Stars
I have thick hair, and have been cutting it myself, with store-bought clippers, for years. During a recent use, my clipper choked on the thick hair, and I decided to get a professional clipper, so I bought the Oster Classic 76.
What a difference! As you might expect based on the price, the Oster is in a class above when compared to the clipper kits you buy at the local Rite-Aid or WalMart. It's a quality appliance and seems to be well worth the extra expense for regular clipper users.
So, why 4 stars instead of 5? Two reasons. One, it doesn't come with the numbered plastic combs--you have to purchase them separately. Second, it's on the heavy side and it's a bit cumbersome to use compared to the lighter, cheaper models. I suppose that's the price you pay for quality.
Customer Review: Best Clippers Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally don't comment on my purchases but I was so impressed by these clippers I'm making an exception. I have been shaving my head for over 20 years and in that time I've gone through many clippers some cheap some not so cheap and these clipper blow everyone one of them away. Normally it would take me 30 to 40 minutes to cut my hair and beard then shave the remaining stubble but with these clippers I was done in 10 minutes. They are so pleasant to use no pulled hairs, no going over the same area many times and the best thing no loud buzzing motor just a nice gental hum. It was a little bit hard to swallow the price tag but after using them I would have paid even more there just that good. The build quality is excellent you can really feel that these will last a very long time.
