TechGearLab bought six dog clippers for side-by-side testing and named this oneisall its best overall, saying its blade quality and cutting ability were superior to the other cordless models in the group. It measured the clipper at 61.5 decibels and reported a 2.5-hour charge for a 2.5-hour run time. The same review faults the build: after a drop from 2 feet onto a yoga mat the blades sat offset until realigned, and the body is slick in the hand.
Full review
Top pick in TechGearLab's six-clipper test
TechGearLab bought six dog clippers at retail and ran them through grooming sessions on different fur types, weighting cutting effectiveness most heavily. The oneisall took its Best Overall award. The reviewer, Kyle McCann, wrote that its blade quality and cutting ability were superior to the rest of the cordless options tested, and grouped it with the corded Andis EasyClip Pro and Wahl Pet-Pro as the clippers that performed exceptionally well for cutting. TechGearLab notes the oneisall uses a combination of stainless steel and ceramic blades, which it said worked smoothly.
Noise, battery and cleaning
TechGearLab measured the clipper at 61.5 decibels, under the 65 dB ceiling the reviewer prefers, and described it as exceptionally quiet even at its highest speed. oneisall's own listing claims less than 50 dB, so the measured figure is the one to plan around.
In the battery test TechGearLab recorded a 2.5-hour charge time and a 2.5-hour battery life, second to the Wahl Lithium Ion Pro for charging speed. For cleaning, it found the head and blade remove easily, which it calls an essential step for clearing hair from behind the blade. It also notes the onboard battery display and blade control.
Where TechGearLab marked it down
Build quality is the weak point in the review. After a drop from 2 feet above a yoga mat, TechGearLab had small issues with the blades being offset, which it fixed with a quick adjustment to the blade alignment. It also found the body somewhat slick, so the clipper did not feel as sturdy in the hand, and listed 'not very ergonomic' and 'not the sturdiest build' as its reasons to avoid. The reviewer called these minor next to the clipper's strengths.
What comes in the kit
oneisall's listing for the Model X2 includes the clipper, six guide guards (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 mm), a cleaning brush, a comb and scissors, and says the clipper can be used while charging. TechGearLab said the included accessories were what it needed and nothing more.
Strengths
- +TechGearLab found blade quality and cutting ability superior to the other cordless clippers it tested
- +TechGearLab measured 61.5 decibels and called noise and vibration very low
- +2.5-hour charge for a 2.5-hour run time in TechGearLab's battery test
- +Head and blade remove easily for cleaning, per TechGearLab
Watch-outs
- −TechGearLab's 2-foot drop test left the blades offset until they were realigned by hand
- −TechGearLab found the body slick and the clipper not very ergonomic
How it compares
TechGearLab measured the oneisall Dog Clipper Model X2 at 61.5 decibels, a little above the Wahl Lithium-Ion Pro Series at 60.6 and below the corded Andis EasyClip Pro-Animal at 63.2 and Wahl Pet-Pro Grooming Kit at 73.8. Its 2.5-hour charge for a 2.5-hour battery life compares with the 15-minute charge and 2-hour battery life TechGearLab recorded for the Wahl Lithium-Ion Pro Series. Unlike both Wahl clippers, its head and blade come off for cleaning.
