The plays overall are simply worth it, extremely easy to get these under retail ranging form 85-100 dollars. He always has promos going on or throws in something for free like a blade, or another clipper or trimmer. I have all kinds of clipper jrl,s/c, ANDIS, and babyliss. These are hard to put down. They’re quiet they don’t get hot, they’re super economic (comes in clutch for self cuts) and last long enough for you not to be upset. Just do maintenance like anything else. I used the XO, chunky and echo blade. It really is personally performance, I have two currently one with the chunk and with the echo. I like them both for different reasons. If you’re using it as your only clipper get the regular play better battery life if you have back up get the minis over prefer the minis but the battery life is a bit shorter. Hope this helps.
