Maxgroom Hair Clippers Set honest Review: I Cut My Own Hair with It

I have to confess something: I actually love cutting my own hair. It’s not because I think I’ll give myself the trendiest or most polished fade — far from it — but because there’s something genuinely relaxing about it. It’s become a little ritual over the years. I still go to the barber occasionally, but I’ve never really enjoyed the experience, so most of the time, I just do it myself.

Over time, I’ve tested quite a few clipper sets. I often found myself coming back to Philips/Norelco because of their reliability. But recently, Maxgroom reached out and sent me their Premium Barber Clippers & Trimmer Set for review. Since I was already impressed by their Body Shaver Set (you can read my review here), I was curious to see how this one would perform.

I’ve now used it twice, and here’s my honest review — from packaging to performance, and whether it’s really worth the hype.

Packaging & First Impressions

Fair play, Maxgroom — the packaging is simply incredible. You can tell right away this isn’t just another random hair clipper set from Amazon. It’s a bit on the heavier side, but that’s because it includes two clippers — and both have very different jobs.

The main clipper is designed for your actual haircut. It’s powerful, fast, and gives a clean, consistent cut. My hair is quite thick at the back, and with many other clippers, I usually need to go over the same area twice (sometimes more) to get it even. With the Maxgroom, one pass was enough — and honestly, that was so satisfying.

Then there’s the T-Blade trimmer, which is smaller and made for precision work. This is the one you’ll use to clean up your hairline, sideburns, and neck, or to add that extra bit of definition that makes a haircut look professional.

Everything comes neatly packed inside the box — a barber cape, carrying case, guide combs, USB-C cable, cleaning brush, and more. The presentation feels premium, and the first impression is genuinely impressive.

The clippers themselves are solid, weighty, and beautifully built — you immediately feel the quality when you hold them. Even the combs feel durable, not the cheap, bendy plastic you get with many budget sets.

If you’re serious about cutting your own hair at home, or trimming your kids’ hair, this set feels like it’s made for you. I honestly didn’t expect something at this level — it feels like professional gear straight out of a barber’s kit.

My Experience

The first thing I really like about the Hair Clippers Set from Maxgroom is the battery life and the neat digital displayon each trimmer showing exactly how much battery you’ve got left. It’s such a small thing, but honestly, a great plus. You never have to guess or stop mid-haircut because the battery died on you.

When I cut my hair, I love experimenting with different styles. Sometimes I’ll go super short; other times, just a quick tidy-up to keep everything clean. I’m 51, so of course, I’ve got a bit of a bald crown (if you know what I mean), and my hairline has receded too — but I still have hair, and it’s quite thick, especially at the back and sides. That’s why I trim it every two to three weeks. If I leave it too long, it starts to look messy and, frankly, makes me look older.

This thing is seriously powerful. One pass, and it’s done. No tugging, no need to go over the same spot again — it cuts clean and smooth. I also love that it’s cordless, which makes the whole process so much easier. It’s not the quietest clipper I’ve used, but it’s not loud either, and that solid weight in your hand makes it feel like the professional clippers you’d find in a proper barber shop.

Swapping the guide combs is super easy, and the included barber cape is another nice touch — it keeps hair off your clothes and the bathroom floor (my wife appreciates that one!).

The T-Blade trimmer is probably the trickiest one to use when you’re cutting your own hair, but after a couple of tries, I managed to clean up my neckline and sideburns nicely. It’s so satisfying to step back and see a sharp finish you did yourself.

Honestly, of all the hair clippers I’ve used in the past — and there have been quite a few — the Maxgroom Hair Clippers Set is the best by far. It genuinely feels like a premium tool a barber would use, but designed for home use. It’s that good.

Final Thoughts

If, like me, you’re the kind of guy who enjoys cutting his own hair — or maybe your partner does it for you — then you should absolutely check out the Hair Clippers Set from Maxgroom. This thing is seriously good. It’s professional-level quality, and the whole experience, from the packaging to the feel of the clipper in your hand, is just fantastic.

It’s also perfect if you’ve got kids and want to save a bit of money (because let’s be honest, going to the barber every few weeks isn’t cheap). The Maxgroom set will quickly become your best ally for keeping everyone in the house looking sharp.

I really love this stuff. Yes, Maxgroom sent this set to me for free to test, but trust me — I wouldn’t be this enthusiastic if it was rubbish. I tried it on my own hair, and I value my hair a lot!

So, if you’re looking for a powerful, reliable, and premium-quality clipper set that delivers professional results at home, the Maxgroom Hair Clippers Set is the one to get. Highly recommended.
