What makes a clipper right for home use?
Not every clipper is ideal for home. For comfortable, consistent results, these are the must-haves:
- Easy to use. Quick to start and simple to adjust.
- Consistent power. Even on thicker hair.
- Comfort. No pulling or skin irritation.
- Easy maintenance. Simple to clean. Note that the Clipper One and Clipper Two are not waterproof, so clean them dry.
- Versatility. Works for hair and beard.
A lot of problems start when a clipper loses power. Here's how that happens: Why does a cordless clipper lose power?
Why are more men going cordless?
A cordless clipper gives you complete freedom while you cut. You're not tied to a socket, and it's easy to work around your neck, sides and beard.
- No cables while you cut
- Use it however and wherever you like
- Perfect for the bathroom or bedroom
- Ideal for regular touch-ups
Modern cordless clippers deliver the same power as corded ones, as long as they have a strong motor (at least 7000 RPM). Both REVAHS clippers run at 7200 RPM.

Entry-level or professional clipper?
If you only cut occasionally, a simpler model may do the job. But if you cut regularly or have thick hair, a professional clipper has clear advantages:
- More durable materials
- A more stable motor
- More settings to choose from
- Better results in fewer passes
That's why lots of men go straight for a professional clipper, even for home use.
