Babyliss Super Motor Gold Hair Clipper

BaBylissPRO · £86

A gold-finished cordless clipper with a brushless motor.

Worth being NRY provisional

A high-torque brushless motor with Japanese steel blades and two hours of cordless running, at eighty-six pounds. Brushless is the detail worth understanding: no carbon brushes to wear, so the motor does not slow as it ages and there is nothing inside to service. It is the single most useful piece of engineering to have arrived in clippers in twenty years and it is here at the bottom of the range.

For
Somebody who wants a clipper that will still be the same clipper in ten years.
Not for
Anyone who needs detachable blades for quick changes between guards.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
