I've had a Wahl for literally 20 years. Sharpenable, replaceable blades (although I only had it sharpened once and never had to replace the blade). Keep it clean and oiled and you can hand it down to your children.
Just avoid their new cheap models. You want corded, you want heavy.
Here is some advice I wrote about in the past when asked a similar question, edited the part in bold that deal with time of posession
> Oster 76 requires alot of maintenance and is very expensive (because you have to buy actual blades instead of guards, so if you wanted a #2 you would snap of the #1 and put a #2) but it is a very durable clipper, assuming you keep up with the maintenance. For a full set it will cost you around $200+ depending on how many blades you buy

>If you dont want to deal with the maintenance you can look at the Andis Improved Masters, they are durable, require the basic maintenance (oil and wipe of blades in between use). Downside is that it gets hot very quickly. This clipper will cost you about $100 including the guards which you will buy separately. These are probably the most popular clipper, probably more popular than the 76 because it is better for all around clippers and requires less maintenance. There is also the Fade Masters which is the same clipper but with a different blade, recommend the Improved Masters over the Fade if you wanted to buy one clipper.

>Another option is the Wahl 5 star senior, it is a good all around clipper like the Masters, it is a bit more cheaper, it will cost you around $60-70 including the guards. It is more powerful than the Masters (especially if you get the one with the latest v9000 motor) and doesnt get as hot as fast. Also, all Wahl products come with a 2 year warranty, some even 3.
There is also the Wahl 5 star Magic Clipper which is the same as the Wahl 5 star seniors except they have a plastic housing instead of metal. Which makes it less durable but also means it takes longer to heat up. As a result of the plastic instead of metal housing it is a little cheaper at about $40.Also requires basic maintenance.

>I have the Magic Clipper and I like them even more so than my father's Andis Masters which I used exclusively for about 4 yrs until I recently got the Magic Clipper almost a year ago. I have very coarse hair, so I appreciate the extra power the Magic Clipper has over the Masters, you might not need it. Look on youtube for more in depth reviews for these clippers.

Wahl 5-star Magic Clips are not a bad choice. They're about as cheap as you're going to find a good clipper, and Wahl has the best included guards from any of the major companies.
For outliners, the Andis Slimline pro Li are all you need. They're cordless (which is nice for outlining), the battery lasts quiet awhile, and they have a nice, non-aggressive cutting blade out of the box, which you can adjust to zero gap when you're more comfortable (and won't cut people). Just don't drop them, the teeth can break pretty easily and a new blade is around $25.
I have a Wahl Professional and LOVE it. They're much better than any of the cheap clippers I've owned over the past 10+ years. I don't have to go over the same spot multiple times or change directions to get every hair.

Hello again, I found this and it has a lot of reviews and it looks a bit more sophisticated . It's the same price as the Elite, how would this compare to the Elite?
