@neil231 on YouTube
The cord is constantly ripping up
@Reignsupreme76 on YouTube
the corded T- outliner is so outdated that I simple can't do it. For me it's taking a step bck.
@clipperhead9261 on YouTube
Mine not working
@RemyChukwu on YouTube
Loved the clipper, hated the inconsistency of Andis replacement blades. Went to the stylecraft saber trimmer and never looked back
@csjr9 on YouTube
I got new blades but they never cut like the original one...plus after cutting both my sons hair these things get so got its hard to hold.

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

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?
Volt7ron on Reddit
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
