Buyers Guide 

Pivot Motor

These trimmers have a low blade speed but a high cutting speed with the blades moving in both directions for double the blade strokes when compared to other kinds of clippers.
If your hair is thick, this kind of trimmer will work well for you.

Magnetic Motor

This type of motor is how most hair trimmers are powered, and this type of clipper is a good choice.

The cut is silky smooth on hair that is finely textured but not as great on thicker hair. A magnetic-powered trimmer may also run hot because of the fast-moving blades, but very little maintenance is needed.

Rotary Motor 

Though hair trimmers that run on rotary power are not as economical, they are used by the pros because they work on all hair types, don’t overheat, and are durable, powerful, and quiet.

Plus, unlike the aforementioned motors, rotary-powered clippers can run at different speeds.

Other things to consider when buying a hair trimmer include whether you want a cordless or corded kind, what kind of blade material they offer, the length adjustability of the trimmer, and what kind of storage the clippers come with.

Also, remember the number your barber uses on you with a hair trimmer to make sure you buy a clipper that can accommodate that cutting range.

Pricier hair trimmers will run in the $70 to $150 range; the mid-range ones will be $30 to $60 and you can find cheaper clippers—some that actually aren’t too bad—in the $10 to $30 range.
