All hair clippers are divided into:

You should know, that most often cordless devices perform an edging function. And here the quality of work is affected by the battery - if it is discharged, then the device will not run at the speed required for its normal operation (the upper knives begin to rotate more slowly). That is why many such devices come with an additional battery.

Very comfortable, when the battery charge indicator is present in the machine.

When working with such models should be considered, that batteries have a "memory property". This means, that at the very beginning of operation the device must be completely discharged and also fully charged the battery. This should be done at least once a month - it will maintain sufficient power.

About other advantages of operation of devices on the accumulator:

  • light weight;
  • small size;
  • in some models the continuity of work is achieved 90 hours;
  • free manipulation of the device during the process.

And here are the disadvantages, which will have a battery model:

  • depending on the battery charge;
  • the need for mandatory cleaning and lubrication after 20 haircuts.

Many users still prefer to work with combined models. But also that, who decided to choose only the battery option, do not worry - even the most difficult haircut can be done for about 20 minutes.

purpose of the device

It is very important to understand that, for what purpose it is planned to purchase the device. In this regard, such equipment is divided into:

  • universal;
  • highly specialized.

Universal and multifunctional

Already based on the name, can be understood, that a universal typewriter can cut everything. Its attachments allow you to cope with thick hair, remove hair from the ears and nose. There is also a special trimmer, which will allow you to work on today's fashionable beard.

Some models even have a mustache comb, and the special razor nozzle will allow to make a hairdress "under zero".

In addition to the above topical attachments, Knife attachments must be included with the device (from 2 to 14 mm), as well as scissors and a comb. Even at home, this multifunctional set meets the highest expectations in its purchase.

There are such advantages:

  • wide choice of operating modes;
  • availability even for the novice user;
  • large assortment range;
  • the opportunity to "at home" to give a haircut, beard, mustache or sideburns stylish and neat look.

The biggest drawback is the price of such a device. And the more popular the manufacturer, the higher the cost.

Such devices are great for getting rid of hair, cutting. They are ideal for finishing ends, split in women's hairstyles.

Another area of ​​application - to obtain patterns on the head. For such a haircut it is best to choose a professional universal model (example, we can recommend the Moser brand technique). However, sometimes it is enough for the user to buy a device with certain functionality for self-use. Such purposeful devices are also very popular in hairdressing salons. Consider the main ones below.

For beard trimming

Such devices differ from universal options by their compactness and narrow blades. And the teeth themselves are much rarer, than in universal models.

Let's list the pros:

  • The device has compact dimensions.
  • With its help you can make a much clearer beard line.

There are also disadvantages - they apply to limited modes of operation.

Mustache trimmer

Such machines are convenient to shorten short body hair (the same applies to the person). In fact, this technique resembles a small cone-shaped device, which has a vertical cutting head.

Often such trimmers can also cut hair in the nose and ears.

Now about the benefits:

  • ease of operation;
  • practicality of use.

There are also disadvantages. Chief among them:

  • limited number of functions;
  • all hair is straightened to one length (that is, haircut with a trimmer on your head will not work).

Getting rid of vegetation on the ears

Most men have problems with haircuts in such hard-to-reach places, both ear and nose. Trimmers are also used for this purpose, but with a special nozzle, which cannot be changed or removed. The device looks like this: at the top of the conical shape is a small head. Everything is thought out this way, that hair is removed very quickly.

The main advantages are as follows:

  • such devices are available at a price;
  • they are very practical to use;
  • hair removal does not cause any discomfort.

And the main disadvantage is, that this way you will not be able to cut your hair anywhere, except the nose and ears.

Based on these classifications, the manufacturer can choose that option, which meets his needs.

Example, Moser brand is more suitable for purchase in salons, but the manufacturers Philips and Vitek focus more on home use.

Having decided on the choice of device type, it is worth holding it in your hand. At heavy weight the hand will get tired, and the light model is very difficult to hold in one position. At the same time, the location of the toggle button is also relevant - it should be easy to use.
