What some users might have noted – and what you need to keep in mind, is another important point. It might be that the Icon is manufactured by Moser for all European countries…įor simple home cuts, the motor difference has no significant effect whatsoever. I think he has mentioned it before, but Wahl have an European sub-branch kind of thing with ‘Moser’, which is a clipper company owned by them, located in Germany. Hello George, Ryan here as Alex is in a short vacation. Some folks in their reviews claim that the zero guard in magic clip might wound the skin. Is this motor difference a serious factor, when it comes to cutting hair(I’m not a pro)? I’m asking you this, because I chose magic clip for its famous sharpness and precision. But then again, wahl icon here in Greece it is advertised as a “made in Germany” clipper, while the magic clips/tapers as “made in US”. So, Alex, to your opinion, which clippers are best choice, the magic clip or the super taper? As for the aforementioned motor capacity, it is true that wahl icon comes in Europe with a V9000 motor, while the magic clips and the super tapers with a V5000. Alex, I was about to order the magic clip, but then I read that it is suggested for afroamericans, so I got a bit scared, you know, thinking that it might damage my hair and things like that, but then I read your review and I came back to my first choice. Hello guys, I’m so glad that I found this review, as I’m facing exactly the same problem as Andy did. Since my hair hasn’t grown back and there is only sparse growth I thought it would be better to keep shaving it and so wanted a good clipper… Reply I had been afflicted with cancer and had to shave my head several times. I am a home user and plan to use it st home to shave my head. To add to my confusion, some of the sites which rate the best clippers have referred to clippers which don’t even seem to be available any more!! Is there any difference between the 5 star magic clip sold in India and abroad? I did call their customer care to check but they preemptorily cut the call saying that they were busy!! I checked on Amazon.in and was a bit surprised to see differential pricing applied to the same product and though the Indian site said what’s being sold in India is 5500 rpm, Amazon.in in it a item description mentions it as 9000 rpm.I was further confused at seeing the other cordless clippers…could you please guide me on what would be the best clipper to go in for? I did check out the Panasonic 1611 but it doesn’t seem worth it to spend so much money for a product which doesn’t seem to have generated great comments on I reside in India and noticed that wahl India is seeking the magic clip here too. Hi Alex, I have been reading your comments on the 5 star magic clip.I was rather confused at what to get. And wow, with 5 kids you’ll have just enough practice to open your own barbershop at one point! Not to mention that the Sterling involves some serious expenses!

If you want something more premium, consider Wahl’s “metal” clip guards: they fit more securely than the stock plastic ones.

And so and so you’ve got a full set of guards to control the length. The crunch blade of the Clips is also more precise, in my opinion. The Clip has a slightly longer battery life (~90 mins vs 75 mins) which seems important as you have 5 kids (and you, probably?) to take care of. Honestly, the 5-in-1 blade is a great tech, but with the Li Ion the length adjustments aren’t that spectacular, unlike their Bravura (aimed at pet owners.) What the Sterling does better is a) it does have a battery indicator and b) the body is sturdier/design feels more premium. Moser is a part of Wahl’s European operations.

I’m mentioning the Moser, because this model is exactly the same as the Sterling Pro Li ion.
