Sterling 4 - Cordless Hair Clippers for Men and Women - Professional, Barber-Quality Hair Cutting Tools

I've been a barber for 12 years. I used the Andis Master as my adjustable blade clipper for many years and then switched to the Wahl Senior a couple years ago. I've been using the Rechargeable Sterling 4 for almost a month now and I love it. In fact, my Senior is now packed away in a drawer and will probably not be used again anytime soon. I must say the Cordless Sterling 4 is a great general purpose clipper. When I travel light I have brought only the sterling with the full set of guards and have been very satisfied with its performance. (I normally don't use it for every part of every haircut in my shop; I also have and use a full detachable blade Oster 76 set-up.) I have never timed the battery life but I think the manufacturer's claims are probably accurate. I find the battery will get me through about half of my workday. I recently used this clipper at a St. Baldrick's event and fully buzzed down 10 full heads of hair before the motor started to slow. There is unfortunately no warning light to let you know if the battery is running low. The only indication you get that you're about to run out of juice is that the motor will start to slow. I find this happens about 2 minutes before the clipper shuts off. If the battery runs out you can plug in, wait a moment, and then go back to cutting with the cord attached. I ended up getting two of these clippers, so one is charging/charged while the other is in use. If I'm cutting somewhere an outlet isn't handy (like an event) it's reassuring to know I have an extra charged up. If this will be your primary/only adjustable blade clipper and you will use it for several cuts a day, I think it would be a good idea to get two, then you can wait until the battery is depleted before recharging (fewer recharge cycles should prolong battery life) It took me a few days to get used to how light this clipper is. Now I use it for anything 000-1.5 It's also great to do flat tops and other detail work without having a cord to wrangle. I also find the clipper doesn't get hot like the Senior. If this will be your primary/only adjustable blade clipper and you will use it for several cuts a day, I think it would be a good idea to get two, then you can wait until the battery is depleted before recharging (fewer recharge cycles should prolong battery life). You will also extend performance if you oil before/after every cut. My only other complaint about this clipper is you'll have to send the clipper in to have the battery replaced. Hopefully it'll be a year or two before that's necessary. Would be nice if the battery were user replaceable.

Good dog grooming clippers highly recommend

I've been cutting my own hair with clippers for about 30 years and don't see myself going back at this point, so decided it was time to invest in a cordless model. I've gone through a series of corded clippers - mostly if not all Wahl - and have been satisfied with all of them, but the cords are burly, and can get in the way and get caught on things. The Sterling 4 is replacing my Taper 2000. Out of the box, I first noticed how light it was compared to the Taper 2000. I don't know what the specific weights on those are, but will say the Sterling is noticeably lighter. After unpacking the box, I was a little disappointed they didn't include any storage case other than the box itself, but I already have a Wahl fabric case that I got with some other set, so no big deal. Next step was to change the silver insert out that it comes with, and put the red one in. I immediately mangled the tip of the plastic tool they give you to do this. I watched a YouTube on getting it out, but was unwilling to disassemble it past taking the top blade off, so gave up on that. What I ended up doing was re-cutting the edge on the removal tool, and tapping it into the back of the insert lightly with a screwdriver handle. Popped right out, and the red looks great. Next I inventoried the guards it came with. I really only use a 1, 2, and tapers for fading. This came with guards up to an 8, as well as a 1 1/2 and a 1/2 that I didn't have, which I guess makes up for not including tapers. Most of the standard guards were in a baggie at the bottom of the clipper box, and I noticed the 1 and 8 both had bent teeth on them. Again, I don’t use an 8 and already have another 1, so I just melded the two sets together with what I wanted and put the rest back in the Sterling box to hang onto, along with my old Taper 2000. I didn’t get around to giving myself a haircut today, but since the Taper 2000 and Sterling 4 are both Wahl, almost identical in shape and size, and even have the same motor, I’m going to assume these will do great; especially with no heavy power cord in the mix, and with the Sterling being a bit lighter. The only cons I can think of are the lack of a carrying case and taper guards, but you can buy a bag for it, and cosmetic stores will often have individual guards if you want to pick up a set of tapers.

bought this in 2021, still works great. i like that it can be charged and then don’t have to worry about the cord while using. the only downside is the cord does not stay in well if you’re using it while charging, so if it dies in the middle of a haircut you have to keep plugging it back in or wait until it charges. easy to disassemble and clean as needed.

UPDATE: A year has past since I got these and I gotta say they’re pretty great! Still working great and ended up changing the blade back to stock. Overall an amazing first clipper to own. Light weight clipper which is nice for someone cutting their own hair. I haven’t used it for that long but the battery life is good. I did do some modifications to change the stock taper cutting blade to a wahl magic clip fade blade. The head of the clipper does get pretty hot after a while but nothing too crazy. The reason why I changed it is because the wahl magic clipper is $150+ after taxes. This clipper is cheaper compared to the magic clip. So I figured to buy this clipper and just change the blades. “BE WARNED IF YOU DECIDE TO GET THIS CLIPPER AND CHANGE THE BLADE YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLIPPER HEAD!” If you trying using the same three hole setup the stock clipper already has it won’t work. If not then discard what I said. Nothing wrong with the taper blade but I’ve gotten used to using the fade blade on myself. Overall I like the way the clipper looks and how it feels when using it.

Doesn't even stay charged long enough for one haircut
