Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BaByliss Super-X Metal Series Cordless Hair Clipper is the number 5 pick in this guide: £90.00, 4.4 out of 5 from 1,439 ratings, and the metal-bodied cordless clipper in BaByliss's Super-X range. The listing sells it on Japanese steel blades, a taper control lever for fades, and 10 comb attachments covering grades 0.5-8, which the specification translates as 0.8mm to 25mm.
Where several listings in this guide contradict themselves, this one mostly holds together. The product name says 10 comb attachments, the bullet says 10 comb attachments and the specification table says 10 comb attachments. Charging time is given as 3 hours in the specification table and repeated in the care guide, while the same bullet promising "up to 3 hours of high-performance cordless use" makes the charge-to-runtime ratio a straight 1:1. The field that does not fit is not a number but a category: the specification lists the recommended uses for product as "Beard, Ear", on a clipper sold with a 25mm maximum cutting length and ten hair comb grades. The ratings add up too — of the 100 ratings in the page histogram, 71 are five-star and 7 are one-star, which is how a 71% five-star share lands on an average of 4.4 rather than something higher. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing, not from a test of our own.
