Been using my US made Oster 606 since 1985... A LOT/countless hair cuts and beard trims. Fixed the cord many years ago, replaced cord a few months ago, still on original blades (HD milled iron), that can be sharpened. Super powerful, adjustable, and easy to get parts/service decades after purchase. I'd rather get HD used, than buy some of the new clippers I have seen (junk). I do have a cordless trimmer for neck work, but no way would I use cordless for HD use. Good luck, and enjoy huge savings.
