“The new ones seem kinda dull”
“the blades over heat and silver coating start becoming discolored and then they become dull”
“They like the White Airforce of Outliners”
“scabbed over with how sharp they are”
“if you have to replace the blade and your not a barber professional there a nightmare bind up and will not cut”
“Tension spring is garbage but I still use it at home for my beard. Never runs out of battery”
“I still have mine from when I was 19. I'm 46 now.”
“I stopped using corded outliners”
“My cords get damaged over time and crack. Don't know how to avoid that.”
“The Andis T outliners with the cord are always a W”
“First set I bought had since 2005 just went out on me last year”
“Andis never solved the heating issue regarding the t-outliners”
“Wow same blade & look and feel. Dats highly disappointing”
“The Black Andis Pro T Liner is the sharpest of the blades.. trust”
“I 100% agree with one exception, I took them internationally and tried to use them but realized the ones I have don’t work on 220v”
“These were king back in the day but they’ve been dethroned. They’re unc clippers now but just like unc they can still do work.”
“I just followed your video and did mines they came out sick!”
“Vary dull just used a Pair the old one's Most definitely”
“Only thing is if you drop the T Outliner the blade is cooked. 7 out of 10 times. I switched to the box blade”
“I've owned these for 10+ years. Solid!!!”
“You shouldn't have to dig in that edge”
“They definitely get the job done and will always be more powerful than anything you can find that's cordless”
“These are literally the goat trimmers”
“the corded T- outliner is so outdated that I simple can't do it. For me it's taking a step bck.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I did mine solely to remove skin line, it doesn’t hurt my client when I stamp, but most of the time I avoid stamping. Only if I absolutely have to, I’d stamp using my t-outliner so very softly.”
“I think I must be holding mine wrong to use it when dry shaving cuz it never gets as low as it does when I’m lining myself up if I try to sweep a whole area”
“Good luck. I think you’ll like it. Andis has good YouTube videos that demonstrate how to oil it and clean it (both are really simple).”
“For the Andis in particular, I’m torn between the corded and cordless trimmers. Is the performance gap noticeable in the cordless?”
“Really depends what you’re looking for Andis if you’re looking for sharp lining up tool The tpob is more for debulking hair”
“I owned 2 pairs in highschool. I'm 39 now. And still have one of the original. I replaced the other one with a black GTO.”
“How has that worked out for you? I am thinking about buying the T Outliner for outlining and trimming as well.”
“Thanks! I ended up ordering the T Outliner and 4 guards with it from Amazon! Excited to try it out”
“That’s the only issue I heard about, and everyone said the same thing. I’m excited nonetheless”
“Ok, I did and see there is actually a tool. I usually manually do it but was asking if there was a better way and looks like there is. Just was curious if there was a better, easier and more consistent way because when I do it, it may or may not come out as a true zero cut.”
“Literally amazing 😂 No way they are 200 now😭 yeah just go t outliners for now”
“The tpob is more for balding and fading the outline is more for sharp lines. If that helps? Both service a function but depending on what it's being used for one may work better for the situation.. get both! Use the TPOB for balding and fading bald lines and the Andis for sharp lines/ line ups.”
“Definitely however the guards don't go that long (I think 5mm is the max if I recall correctly?) so if you're rocking a longer beard you're best off getting the Andis for outlining and the clipper for it's longer guards. If you don't want to do that then you could free hand your beard with the Andis, no guards.”
“T outliner, because if you want to change the blade you can just walk to your local barber supply store or go on Amazon, and if you want to get tpob blade you’ll have to pay for shipping and buy them from their website, or on Amazon and also andis is a really good reputable brand that has been in the game for years,…”
