Wahl Icon Clipper vs Wahl Legend Clipper 

Where I work we're only allowed to use Wahl, but I want to isolate myself as a female barber and be on top of my clipper game. I was having a hard time in deciding what would be best for me in order to have more clientele request me, and came to the conclusion that I would need to have multiple clippers at my station. I narrowed my decision down to the Icon as it is considered an "advanced" clipper among the Wahl line, but lacked in fading abilities, so my final decisions were between the Magic Clip and the Legend, but after seeing this video, I have made my final decision, thank you!

Excellent video. I'm in the uk and skinhead my own hair. I'm sick of cheap clippers aimed at joe public - I wanted to buy a half decent set if clippers just to cut my own hair down to 1mm or so. If a set of clippers last me more than 5 years I will be well happy. Looks like I'm getting the icon. This video is a big help. Thanks mate

Thanks for that clarity..i liked it.

Russell Crowe explaining hair clippers

Great video and information thank you

Is it better to use the wahl clipper for a fade or is it better to use the metal detachable blades?

Excellent thanks for sharing

ugreat review, thanks a lot, but how is the noise, does the icon make louder noise than the legend? i ve seen that they can be adjusted to make less noise, i am wondering if the legend it makes different noise when its cutting hair, for me is very important to hear when im cutting hair, i owned a super taper and i didnt like it was too noizy and vibrating a lot.... hope i will get some answers guys. thanks

hello my friend...i have this clipers and i notice the legent is more noise than the icon...you notice that to or i must worry? thanks

Very informative video. thanks!

I love how u explain tngz ur pro I swear

very informative

Finally someone does a comparison of these two! Thank you! Does one cut closer and cleaner than the other? I cut my own hair and use a #1 comb for a buzz cut (no fade) and have been torn between these two clippers for some time now. I currently use the wahl pro elite clippers (top of the consumer line up) but have to go over my head several times to get all of the stray hairs left behind... And it doesn't seem to give a sharp clean even looking cut. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Barberco - most excellent information here. Wahl Professional website is not helpful! I cut my own hair, and currently at Amazon and RU-vid to figure out which model to buy - upgrading from basic $20 Wahl. My typical cut is #6 guard (3/4") on top, and #1 guard (1/8") on sides - using #2 and #3 to fade. I don't know much about different blade types or motor types, etc. Anyway, I was looking at the Cordless Magic Clip, which has very good ratings at Amazon, but should I stick with the V9000 motor? Wahl Pro has so many models and they do not explain the differences. I suppose professional barbers know all of this. But what is the main difference between Senior, Legend, Icon, Sterling 1/4/9, Pilot, Designer, etc.?

My 20 year old Super Taper looks like it has a bigger motor to the legend's in this video. Is it true that old wahl motors are more powerful than newer ones? Maybe for energy saving/efficiency regulations?

Which one is the best as a trimmer for beard?

yes 220-240V

I thought the Icon and the Legend are supposed to have the same power V900, how come they look different inside, why was this not addressed.

Thanks for the video. I recently purchased the icon and I am a bit confused. My icon gets really hot after 20 minutes of running. I thought with the V9000 motor the clipper could run smoother ad cooler. Should I be concerned????? I have 2 legends and I don't have this problem. Is there a way I can fix it???? Does this happen to you???? I can appreciate what you can share or what direction you can point me to.

Can the legend be used for general purpose cutting? I keep hearing you need a mower like the Oster 76, a detailer for finer work, and a main hand for most of your applications. Will the Legend serve this purpose?

Would you suggest , the seniors as your go to over these clippers ? Can't decide between the 3. Thanks!

Hi! Can I adjust the Wahl Icon a nearly zero gap (less than 0.5mm) cutting length like the Walh Legend? Thanks! Zsolt

legend or icon ???

how about the lever..its move by it self while u cutting.how to fix it.

If I have legends already, would I need Icons say for tapering? Or would legends be fine for tapering?

Can you put the legend slider and blade to the wahl icon And will it open to a 1 ?

HI WHAT IS DIFRENT BETWEEN Wahl Legend Clipper AND WHAL MAGIC CLIP

There is a hack to extend the lever

Wahl Legend or Wahl Super Taper? Which one the better choice for fade and bald? Thx

Lgend vs senior ho goin win plz answer me

And is possible to replace a blade Senior FOR a blade of legend?

não entendo nada que ele ta falando

Couldn't you just put a legend blade on an icon?
