VGRPRO Professional Hair Clippers for Men Review: Full Cordless Kit Tested

Looking for a professional hair clipper set that won’t break the bank? The VGRPRO Professional Hair Clippers for Men promises barber-quality results at a fraction of the cost. I put this cordless clipper and trimmer kit through its paces across four haircuts and two beard trims to see if it lives up to the hype.

At around $70, this all-in-one grooming kit includes a powerful 9000 RPM clipper, a precision T-blade trimmer, dual charging docks, and a comprehensive set of guards. The real question is whether VGR can compete with established brands like Wahl and Andis.

Buy if you want a complete cordless clipper kit with a powerful 9000 RPM motor for home haircuts or professional barbering. Skip if you need waterproof clippers or prefer premium brands like Wahl.

What I Liked

Powerful 9000 RPM Motor

The variable speed motor is a standout feature on this hair clipper. You get three settings: 7000 RPM, 8000 RPM, and a turbo mode that pushes to 9000 RPM. This high-speed cutting power handles thick, coarse, and curly hair without snagging or pulling.

I was impressed by how smoothly it cut through hair even on the highest setting. The constant speed control means the motor maintains its power throughout each cut rather than bogging down.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

Battery anxiety is real when you’re mid-haircut, but the VGRPRO delivers here. A full charge provides up to four hours of continuous runtime, which is enough for multiple haircuts or full-day grooming sessions. Charging takes about two hours via USB-C, and the included dual docking stations make recharging effortless.

The built-in LED display shows remaining battery percentage, charging status, and even reminds you when the blade needs oil. These quality-of-life features show attention to detail.

Complete All-in-One Kit

This clipper set truly is all-in-one. You get the main clipper with 10 guide combs ranging from 1/16 inch to 3/4 inch, plus left and right ear tapers for blending. The precision T-blade trimmer comes with four additional guards for beard detailing.

Everything comes in a durable storage case that keeps your tools organized. The replaceable silicone grips are a nice touch, letting you customize the feel and look of both devices.

Quiet Operation

At 70 dB, these clippers run surprisingly quiet even at 9000 RPM. This matters if you’re cutting kids’ hair or doing early morning grooming. The quiet cordless design makes the whole experience less intimidating for nervous first-time users.

Premium Build Quality

The clipper body combines metal and plastic with alloy steel and carbon steel blades featuring DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. It feels heavy and solid in the hand, not cheap or flimsy. The 0.5-1.5mm taper lever gives precise control for fading work.

What Needs Improvement

Guard Quality Could Be Better

The included guards work fine but feel cheaply made compared to the clippers themselves. Several Reddit users in r/SelfBarber noted the same thing, suggesting you might want to swap them out for higher quality Wahl or Andis guards eventually.

The guards snap on and off easily enough, but they lack the premium feel of the main unit. For the price point, this is a reasonable tradeoff, but it’s worth knowing upfront.

Not Waterproof

Unlike some grooming tools, the VGRPRO clippers are not waterproof. You cannot rinse them under running water or use them in the shower. This means cleaning requires the included brush and occasional blade oil.

For some users, waterproof clippers are a must-have for easy cleanup. If that’s you, look elsewhere. The cleaning process isn’t difficult, just more involved than a quick rinse.

Professional Barbers May Be Skeptical

Some professional barbers on Reddit view budget clippers skeptically, preferring established brands like Wahl and Andis. While one barber mentioned VGR is “one of my favorites” after testing several Ali clippers, others feel using these in a shop could appear unprofessional.

For home use or a second set in the barbershop, this isn’t a concern. But if reputation matters in your professional setting, consider the perception factor.

How It Compares

VGRPRO vs Wahl Senior Clipper

Wahl has dominated the professional grooming market for decades with good reason. The Wahl Senior offers proven reliability and parts availability that VGR can’t match yet. However, VGR delivers similar RPM at a significantly lower price point.

If you’re a working barber who needs tools that will last years with heavy daily use, Wahl remains the safer bet. For home users or backup clippers, VGR offers comparable cutting performance at half the cost.

VGRPRO vs Andis Master

Andis is the precision choice, favored by barbers who need sharp, clean lines. The Andis Master runs slightly quieter and has a decades-long track record. But the VGRPRO’s 9000 RPM motor and DLC blades hold their own for most users.

The main difference is reputation and resale value. Andis holds value better, but you’re paying for the brand name. For the average home user, the performance gap is negligible.

VGRPRO vs TPOB PLAY

At $125, the TPOB PLAY is the next step up if budget allows. Reddit’s r/SelfBarber community rates it highly for self-cutting. The VGR sits below this as the best budget-friendly option for those not ready to invest in premium tools.

For a first cordless clipper or someone learning to cut their own hair, the VGRPRO makes more sense financially. You can always upgrade later once you know what features matter most to you.

Who Should Buy

Best For

Home users wanting professional results. If you’re cutting your own hair or doing haircuts for family members, this kit gives you everything you need without trips to the barbershop. The variable speed settings let you work at your own pace while learning.

Parents cutting kids’ hair. The quiet 70 dB operation and cordless design make it less intimidating for children. No buzzing cord to get in the way, and the lower noise won’t startle younger kids.

Anyone maintaining haircuts between salon visits. You don’t have to do a full cut every time. The trimmer handles neckline cleanups and sideburn touch-ups easily, extending the time between professional cuts.

Budget-conscious barbers needing a backup set. At under $70 for a full kit, it’s worth having as a second option in your shop or for house calls.

Not Ideal For

Users who need waterproof clippers. If you want to rinse your clippers under running water or use them in the shower, look elsewhere.

Those wanting only a simple buzz cut. If you just need a basic buzzer and don’t care about fades or precision work, you’re paying for features you won’t use.

Professional barbers prioritizing brand reputation. If your clientele expects to see Wahl or Andis in your hands, the VGR might not fit your shop’s image.

Final Verdict

The VGRPRO Hair Clippers deliver excellent value for anyone wanting a complete cordless grooming kit without the premium price tag. The 9000 RPM motor handles thick hair without snagging, the 4-hour battery life covers multiple cuts, and the included trimmer means you’re set for both haircuts and detail work.

The guard quality is the main compromise, but that’s an easy fix if needed. For home users learning to cut their own hair, families doing regular cuts, or barbers wanting a reliable backup set, this kit punches above its weight class.

Rating: 4.4/5 - Highly recommended for budget-conscious buyers who want professional-level tools.
