Scarlett hair clipper

Hair clippers from the company Scarlett refer to the models of the average price category. They allow you to facilitate the process of male-style home haircuts, 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 undeniable advantage is the cost. The price range for them is quite large, but none of the models presented below exceed the price tag of 1000 rubles. If you bought more, it means you were just looking bad.
• Savings on haircuts in the barber shop. If we take the average cost of machine haircut in the province (200 rubles), then we can understand that the machine will pay off in 4 haircuts. If the family has more than two men, then that is faster.
• Easy to use. These machines do not require super-complex blade settings, do not burden the user with the need to adjust the motor power with cogs, and do not require complicated maintenance.
• Wide equipment: comb, scissors, oiler and nozzles in the amount of 4 pieces. With the help of a comb, you can simulate haircuts and smooth the transition between the length, with the help of scissors - to cut the hard-to-reach places near the ears. You can store everything in the case.
• Suitable for children haircuts.
• If the machine tears the hair, you can adjust the position of the knives.
• The length of the hair can be adjusted not only by nozzles, but also with the help of the side ridge. The nozzle can be removed altogether.
• There is a mode of filing, which allows you to make a smooth transition between the strands, removing excess volume, but not cutting off the length of the hair.

Model cars in the budget price category (up to 1000 rubles) differ from each other only in some minor detail - the number of attachments or levels of hair length. All popular clippers ("SC-1263", "SC-HC63C06", "SC-1260", "SC-HC63C07") have a power of 13 W and operate from the network, 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 hair by five sizes (from 3 to 12 mm). Included are scissors, comb, oiler, protective cover on the knives, storage case.

Two models in the line work autonomously. Wherein "SC-HC63054" can work both from a network, and from the accumulator, and "SC-160" - Only from the battery. But both for one and for another model the operating time is 50 minutes. The first is charged 8 hours, and the second - an hour less. Interesting that "SC-HC63054" has 5 hair length steps, and "SC-160" - 7 (with a minimum and maximum length of 3-12 mm and 1-17 mm, respectively). In this case, the first model has two nozzles in the kit, and the second 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 the parts do not corrode.Before the first use, knives and other parts are wiped with gasoline to “squeak”, and then all the parts (except the blades) are applied with the lubricant supplied. If the machine tears the hair, it does not mean that it is faulty. This means that the blades are not adjusted. They are adjusted with a screwdriver, which unscrew the screws on the knives. Immediately I want to say that the fit of the blades is done by trial and error, so the first time you will have to perform it on the person who needs to be cut. Approximate position - the lower blade should not be very noticeable because of the protrusion of the top. It will have to move either to the right or to the left.

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

• Thorough cleaning after clipping. Do not clean the machine for aesthetic or hygiene reasons. Remaining hair after cutting hamper work. They make the motor run for wear and overheat. Sooner or later, the machine will “burn”, 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 with a brush well. Yet the brush is not included for beauty.
• Need to regularly lubricate the blade. It would seem a simple rule, but few follow it. If you clean the machine at least 50% of users, then lubricate - only 20 percent. Ideally, you should 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 the parts of the mechanism.
• You can not grease the machine with hair products, edible and essential oils.
• Setting up the machine, sharpening the blades are done every 3-4 months (with intensive use).
• If you have broken at least one prong on the nozzle, you cannot use it in the future, it can lead to injury.
• If the machine was at a temperature below zero degrees, then it should 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.
• Every six months, you need to recharge the battery, even if you do not use the machine.

Reviews of such devices are very different. If you take the budget, working only on the network, then usually when buying a great role of fortune. Someone very pleased with the acquisition and enjoys more than three years. And someone bought - and did not have time to enjoy the process of cutting, as the machine burned. Almost all users note that the machine heats up the body during operation. Sometimes it is so strong that in the process of cutting the master begins to experience discomfort.

A part of copies “chews” the hair, a part - leaves behind the “uncut field” of long hairs (at the same time, it does not give a result of repeated passage in the same places). But in response to the disgruntled, the second part of users advises to read the instructions, which say that the machine should be driven through the hair no faster than knives work. This part notes that the machine cuts perfect. Such people recommend to buy it. As for the battery-powered 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 o'clock. Usually cars charge for 2-3 hours and work within an hour. However, after making a purchase, it is recommended to carry out a full charge for 8 hours.

Model Scarlett "SC-160" Great for grooming children, because it does not vibrate and is not very noisy. For two or three haircuts, a one-year-old child gets used to a slight noise and is no longer frightened. Separately noted weight in 208 g, the hand does not get tired. But the manufacturer has reduced the weight due to thin plastic, so all in one voice recommend not to drop the machine.

We can say that the Scarlett typewriters are fully recommended for purchase.It is much more offensive to buy a promoted "German" brand, which is also made in China, but 1500 rubles more expensive. As a result, many get a machine that jerks hair or burns hands during work. Scarlett - A great choice for those who do not see the point in giving money to the hairdresser for something that can be done at home on their own.
