Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer

The shape up machine is well made . Sold at a great price and it's an outstanding product. I used it a few times and it's working good.
works well. cuts close
It's sharp and cuts to about 150th of an inch. No itch no burn. With this blade you'll be able to get into every nook & cranny.
The blade hasn't dulled at all and the motor works as well as the day I bought it which was just about a year ago.
I would love for them to be sharper but I guess there could be some adjustments made that can get them where I want them to be, but right out the box they were not as sharp as I wanted them.
had to adjust the blades because they were slightly crooked and not aligned. Other than that they worked great.
received it and 3 days later it seized up, tryed oiling didn't work finally took blades off oiled put back together now doesn't cut as close.

Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece

Stronger, smoother closed & open guard adjustment - feels far more assured than what I'm used to on cheaper sets.
I've only used these a handful of times so far but remain very impressed. Definitely recommended.
Very easy to use and such a good quality for the price I paid.
No more bowl cuts and no more overpriced hair stylist.
I was impressed with how sturdy all of the attachments felt, and equally impressed with the solid feel of the unit itself.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer

great design, close cut, couldn't be happier.
On top of that the cast metal exterior gives it a nice solid feel.
Too heavy and very thick body, therefore awkward handling.
However, the T-blade head is not the most comfortable thing raking across my scalp. I like the trimmer, but don't think that I'd buy the same ones for the same application.
First impressions of this product were the great design and the weight. Although a noticeable increase in weight from my Andis Pivot Pro, the durability and closeness of the cut should greatly makeup for it.

Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece

Heavier feel. I value this b/c I have large hands. The heavier feel of these provides better guidance, especially during faster movements.
Great kit, will last quite a few years if cared for properly. Nice compact kit.
Even the cord is hefty. I also like that the case can hold everything but is still compact.
Fits all into a box, compact, and easy to move.
It's too heavy for such a poor performance it shows.

What customers say about "Features"

Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer

It cuts close and the blades are adjustable and it's easy to use.
This cuts just as well especially considering the price. With proper maintenance it'll last at least a yr b4 needed new blades.
Great trimmer for balding and lineups. Blade is adjustable, watch youtube tutorial for gapping the blade or take it to a barber and see if you can get him to do it (tip him well if he does) WOULD NOT recommend to "Zero Gap" the blade if you are not a professional licensed Barber with exlerience.
Hair/beard lining made easy!
I prefer adjusting them because they get so hot but other than that I highly recommend getting them.
I've been using Andis for years and my expectations have always been met. One issue though. It gets very HOT after long usage.

No matter how small or large the adjustment, the gaurd stays in place once adjusted.
1/2 and 1 & 1/2 guards are included. These allow more flexibility and safety when blending fades.
In my case, I'm spending much less time going back and forth between the 0, 1, and 2 gaurds - the half guards hit the mid points much better and faster.
It was used for a quick trim, and did cut through the hair with ease. On this front, I was quite pleased.
he clipper guards are my favorite part, there are a lot of options.

Andis GTO 04710 Professional T-Outliner Beard/Hair Trimmer

Plus, the corded trimmers always have a consistent power.
I like the size of them and the strength of the motor. With that said there are some shortcomings namely the blade getting hot.
Strong motor Edge ups are simple.
Easy to use, quiet, and doesn't require a great deal of pressure when lining.
It is not very loud nor does it vibrate heavy.

Wahl 9620-500 Haircutting Kit 10 Piece

The unit being corded is a HUGE advantage as far as I'm concerned.
Not cordless. Thankfully the cord is longer than most so this wasn't a pain point for me.
The cord sheath is a single barrel rather than the typical scored double sided deal on my previous clippers so less likely to get all twisty.
The clipper has a very long cord, so I can have the boys stand in the bathtub to catch the hair while I cut their hair and there is still room to move around.
The cord is generously long. They are just as loud as our old set. For us, that isn't an issue.
