Oster
5.0
(7)
"Oster fast feeds with andis magnetic guards."
"The fast feeds don't yank."
"Oster Classic 76 or Wahl 5 Star Senior are the real BIFL suggestions."

TPOB
3.8
(8)
"My rank in order: 1. TPOB play 2. Senior cordless (solid clippers) 3. Magic clip cordless."
"Comes with a number of guards include halves to help with the fading and of course the lever to be more granular."
"For textured or thick hair something with a powerful motor is good."
"Instead of looking at the jrls why don't you get the tpob plays which is similar but with crunch."
"I also like the TPOB Play for a good all-around clipper."
"I also like the Slime 2."
"You can get the TPOB slime 2 or candy."
"TPOB is crap."

Babyliss
3.0
(9)
"Babyliss is a very good brand. Use oil each time you use the clippers. They will last way longer."
"TPOB Play haven’t touch my Babyliss and Gamma cyborg ever since I got it."
"I have good luck with Babyliss so far."
"I’d get yourself a babyliss fx or jrl onyx, or something that has a better motor."
"I love the Babyliss Fx but I tried the new low pros not as good. After getting used to the round handle, I really liked them and have purchased three since my first original one."
"Every single person I know has problems with their Babyliss clippers, and several people in my shop have problems with Babyliss trimmers."
"The Babyliss is weak, which I agree with."
"Nobody who does hair for very long likes them."
"Also hated the Designer and Babyliss clippers overall."
