Has anyone considering putting hair cutting oil on it every time after you use it. That's what they do with hair clippers.

It doesn't seem to need it. It is also so cheap that buying and regularly using hair clipping oil defeats the purpose of its cheap price.

I looked up blading clippers and those seem to cut closer. I thought i really liked this product but after using it a few times ive notice it misses alot of hair and have to do it more than once.

I have used the oil 3 times before I discarded it. Any the used oil was still great! I really enjoy my deep fryer.

I also use scissors or a knife and cut the hair. I then just pull it out. On mine, there is a nifty little indentation on the roller that I use for sliding the knife. Just beware the ends tend to collect the most hair and will stop the wheels if it gets to full.

I've had mine for a couple of years now. It isn't as sharp as the day I got it, but it's still better than any new clipper you'll purchase at your local drug store.

I haven't had to oil it yet. Haven;t given it much thought. The one I carry daily or most frequently gets a work out on a lot of chores. Generlly I just wipe it off or if it I cut something I don't want to have become part of an apple I've decidde to eat at a later date, I simply wash it with soap & water. In rare cases I may put some ollive oil on my finger and wipe it down and dry off with a clean cloth, When I sharpen it I am more inclined to use olive oil, but hey! I'm Italian

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

I don't know... I've owned it for about a year, and used it successfully on two malteese like dogs with matted hair, but just this week it wasn't working and a screw popped out, so I don't know what's going on with it. It did work well though on really messed up dogs, giving them an estimate of three hair cuts each. I'm wondering if it just needs to be oiled? If it only gave three hair cuts each then that's kind of poohy, but it did still save me money from a groomer.

I did. The engine eventually seized up - and the crankcase was full of oil. This trimmer was heavy - hard to start - rough running - cumbersome - a total waste of my money. DO NOT BUY THIS TRIMMER!!

Hi Jordan - if you use this unit every day the instructions say to put one drop of oil on the tips of the blades while the unit is running and to hold the unit downward. It says oil should be used at least once a day. It doesn't say anything about oil application after so many hours of run time. Hope this helps. Have a Great Day.

My WAHL clippers came with a small tube of their own oil (not sure of the brand it came with) but I have been using ANDIS for years on them without issue, hope this helps.

According to the leaflet that came with the unit: "About once a month you should oil the trimmer blades. It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper." etc. However, no little oil dropper came with the trimmer, and I have not done so yet (after 6 months of occasional use)

Ifi is the blades, it sounds like you guys used the blades on dirty hair. If not, then I don't kn ow, but these blades do not last long if used on dirty hair. They are meant to be used on clean hair. If it is the clipper itself, I would remove the blade first to see if it comes on, IF the clipper turns on without the blade, then the blade is locked, and needs to b e unjammed bu pushing on the cutting edge while the clipper is running. If this doesnt work then you need to contact Wahl. I am a groomer and own 7 of these clippers and have never had that happen.

I never did, but after using the same blade for years, I had to replace it with a new one. Technically it suppose to be a cold cutting blade and no cutting oil is needed.Hope that helpsRay

yes but you need to get a can of andis cool care plus for clipper blades run the clippers and spray it on the blades it will keep the blades cool and lubricant and you will be surprised of how it will increase the performance of the clippers I will use it throughout the cutting process with the blades cool they don't expand so it can get clogged best clippers on the market 5 stars

Hey, so it's been two years that I have this product.. I think I can finally say that I need to replace the blades (or actually buy a new one, it's less hassle and almost same price)It's not that it's not cutting anymore, rather that it feels it's 'pulling' more on the hair than it used to when it was cutting perfectly.I am using the trimmer on average once a week, sometimes more sometimes less,hope I helped

it is a cutting edge, why would you use oil. the edge is replaceable although I have not had to as yet.
