Scarlett hair clipper

Hair clippers from the company scarlett belong to the models of the middle price category. They allow you to facilitate the process of home haircuts for men, shave an intricate pattern on your head, and save on trips to the hairdresser. This brand is one of the most popular electric machines on the market, because at a relatively low cost, all models are of decent quality.

The advantages of such machines:

• The most important and indisputable advantage is the cost. The range of prices for them is quite large, but none of the models presented below exceeds the price tag of 1000 rubles. If you bought more expensive, it means that you were just looking badly.
• Savings on haircuts at the barbershop. If we take the average cost of a machine haircut in the province (200 rubles), then we can understand that the machine will pay off after 4 haircuts. If there are more than two men in the family, then even faster.
• Easy to use. These machines do not require super complex blade adjustment, do not burden the user with the need to adjust the motor power with screws, and do not require complex maintenance.
• Wide range of equipment: comb, scissors, oiler and nozzles in the amount of 4 pieces. With the help of a comb, you can simulate haircuts and smooth out the transition between lengths, with the help of scissors - cut hard-to-reach places near the ears. You can store everything in a case.
• Suitable for children's haircuts.
• If the machine tears your hair, you can adjust the position of the knives.
• The length of the hair can be adjusted not only with nozzles, but also with the help of a side comb. The nozzle can be removed completely.
• There is a thinning mode that allows you to make a smooth transition between strands, removing excess volume, but not cutting off the length of the hair.

Models of cars in the budget price category (up to 1000 rubles) differ from each other only in some minor detail - the number of nozzles or hair length levels. All popular clippers ("SC-1263", "SC-HC63C06", "SC-1260", "SC-HC63C07") have a power of 13 W and operate from the mains, with a cord length of 2 meters. Searching in online stores, such devices can be purchased at prices ranging from 500 to 800 rubles. The models are the simplest, they have 4 nozzles in the kit and can vary the length of the hair in five sizes (from 3 to 12 mm). Includes scissors, comb, oiler, protective cover for knives, storage case.

Two models in the line work autonomously. Wherein "SC-HC63054" can work both from the mains and from the battery, and SC-160 - battery only. But for one and the other model, the operating time is 50 minutes. The first is charged 8 hours, and the second - an hour less. It's interesting that "SC-HC63054" has 5 steps of hair length, and SC-160 - 7 (with a minimum and maximum length of 3-12 mm and 1-17 mm, respectively). At the same time, the first model has two nozzles in the kit, and the second one has one.Both devices have a work indicator light and durable stainless steel blades.

The first adjustment of the machine should be carried out immediately after the purchase. At the factory, all parts of the device are lubricated with technical oil so that spare parts do not corrode. Before the first use, knives and other parts are rubbed with gasoline to a “squeak”, and then all parts (except blades) are coated with the grease that comes with the kit. If the machine tears your hair, it does not mean that it is faulty. This means that her blades are not adjusted. They are adjusted with a screwdriver, which unscrews the screws on the knives. I want to say right away that the adjustment of the blades is done by trial and error, so you will have to perform it for the first time on the person who needs to be cut. Approximate position - the lower blade should not be very noticeable due to the protrusion of the upper one. You will have to move it either to the right edge or to the left.

If you do not neglect simple rules, then the machine will last more than one year:

• Thorough cleaning of the machine after cutting. It is not necessary to clean the machine for aesthetic or hygienic reasons. The hair remaining after the haircut slows down the work. They cause the motor to wear out and overheat. Sooner or later the machine will “burn out”, and this will not be a warranty case. Therefore, it is not enough to blow on the blades, it is necessary to clean the knives and nozzles well with a brush. Nevertheless, the brush is not included in the kit for beauty.
• Blades need to be oiled regularly. It would seem a simple rule, but few people follow it.If at least 50% of users clean the machine, then they lubricate it - only 20 percent. Ideally, you need to lubricate the blades after each haircut, removing them from the body. Moreover, after lubrication and assembly, it is necessary to start the device again and allow the oil to be distributed over all parts of the mechanism.
• Do not lubricate the machine with hair products, food and essential oils.
• Setting up the machine, sharpening the blades are carried out every 3-4 months (with intensive use).
• If you break at least one prong on the nozzle, you can not use it in the future, this can lead to injury.
• If the machine was at a temperature below zero degrees, then it must be kept at room temperature for 2 hours.
• For a car with a battery, you must first completely discharge the device, and then charge it for 8 hours.
• Once every six months, you need to recharge the battery, even if you do not use the machine.

Reviews about such devices are very different. If we take budget ones that work only from the network, then usually when buying, the role of Fortune is great. Someone is very satisfied with the purchase and has been using it for more than three years. And someone bought - and did not have time to enjoy the process of cutting, as the machine burned down. Almost all users note that the case of machines heats up during operation. Sometimes it is so strong that during the haircut the master begins to experience discomfort.

Some of the specimens “chew” the hair, some leave behind an “unmowed field” of long hairs (at the same time, repeated passage through the same places does not give a result). But in response to the dissatisfied, the second part of users advises them to read the instructions, which say that the machine should be driven through the hair no faster than the knives work.It is this part that notes that the machine cuts perfectly. Such people recommend to buy it. As for battery-operated machines, there are usually positive reviews. Users are shocked by the fact that the manufacturer has indicated some fantastic time required for recharging - at 8 and 7 hours. Usually cars are charged in 2-3 hours and work for an hour. However, after making a purchase, it is recommended to fully charge for 8 hours.

Model Scarlett "SC-160" Great for cutting kids because it doesn't vibrate or make a lot of noise. For two or three haircuts, a one-year-old child gets used to light noise and is no longer afraid. Separately, the weight is 208 g, the hand does not get tired. But the manufacturer has reduced the weight due to thin plastic, so everyone unanimously recommends not to drop the machine.

We can say that Scarlett cars are quite recommended for purchase. It is much more offensive to buy a promoted "German" brand, which is also made in China, but 1,500 rubles more expensive. As a result, many get a typewriter that pulls their hair or burns their hands during operation. scarlett - a great choice for those who do not see the point in giving money to a hairdresser for something that they can do at home on their own.
