Oster Professional Octane Heavy Duty Cordless Clipper with #000 & #1 Blades

I have been a loyal Andis BGR+ User for the past three of four years...great clipper with one big problem the battery....I had to routinely buy a new one at least twice a year at 60$ per. I received my new octane today and have been using it all day and it meets or exceeds my expectations in every area. The power is great and steady there is no "winding down" of power as the clipper is used throughout the day. Once it is out of power it turns off although I've never come close to running it out. The charging station has a slot for an optional extra battery but again I haven't come close to needing an extra and I cut all day long. The station charges one at a time...not a big deal once the clipper is fully charged your optional extra battery will be charged up and ready. A few things that are noteworthy about the clipper that I feel customer service is lacking in knowledge on after talking with them. It uses titan and classic 76 blades and Andis Ceramic and ultra edge blades...they are all interchangeable and work perfectly. When you receive the clipper it’s best to spray all the blades with cool care or the like while the clipper is running to remove all the shipping/warehouse anti-rust coating. Then oil the blades. Dont use it until it’s fully charged and then dont charge it again until the clipper completely dies. This only needs to be performed one time. And it will take at least 5 complete charges to get the maximum battery life out of the ion battery. Detachable basics: Turn the clipper OFF before depressing the blade release button and removing a blade. Conversely place a blade on the hinge and turn the clipper ON before snapping the blade into cutting position. It comes with 1 ion battery, a 000 and 1 blade, blade oil, and the standard cheesy cleaning brush that no barber ever uses anyway. One thing of note about any new blades they are usually coated with a residue to resist rust and moisture in warehouses until sold. They perform best if you clean them thoroughly with cool care, allow to dry completely and then oiled. This clipper does not require grease or to be opened to be maintained. Just make sure the blades are brushed cleaned and oiled. The clipper itself is sealed just brush excess hair at the end of each haircut and you're ready cut. The Octane is lighter, more comfortable, more powerful, and lasts conservatively twice as long as the BGR+ It comes with a 3 year warranty not 5 like the Oster motorcycle rep says in his vids. ****July 4 2018 UPDATE***** I purchased the octane in 2015...It still runs on the ORIGINAL battery as well as the first day I bought it. It is my favorite clipper and I have accidentally dropped it three or four times and suffered no ill effects. It is one of the best purchases I've ever made on amazon. Thanks Sam. It’s ******2021****** still going strong on the original two batteries. Same run time same cutting power….see you in a few more years. It’s *******2022****** still going strong with the original two batteries and charger…..same run time, still same awesome power. Ive dropped it several times now since owning and its as good as the day I bought it. See you ina few more years. It’s *******2024******* still going as good as the day I bought it…Just finished cutting my own hair with it. I have the original battery along with the one extra battery I purchased with the clippers. It’s as good as the day I bought it. The batteries also shockingly have the same run time and power. We’re looking at nearly 10 years of use now. See you in 2025. It’s *******2025******* still as good as the first day I bought…..STILL HAVE THE SAME TWO ORGINIAL BATTERIES! The batteries have lost no charge …same run time same great power and torque. This is one of the best clippers ever made. Ive dropped it many times and ive never had to replace a single part on the clipper. Oster doesnt make a lot of innovative clippers anymore but they made the best detachable cordless clipper in history with the Octane. See you next year.

I love this thing. It is absolutely overkill. It's like the luxury sports car of hair clippers. Very quiet and cuts cleanly. I started looking into professional clippers for hot-swappable metal blades so that I could get a more consistent cut. I noticed that with the plastic combs that go over traditional clippers, sometimes the hairs would come out uneven and it would look messy. I would have to go over a lot to get it to look consistent. With the Oster Octane, it does it right the first time and I don't have keep going over and over and over. The swappable blades allowed me to use a 9.5mm blade I purchased seperately to get the fuzzball look I like that's between having a shaved head and longer hairs. I used the 0.5mm blade that came with the shaver to clean up around my ears. Maybe with time I'll get brave enough to do the back of my neck/head. 🤣 The build quality is really good. It is easy to grip in my hand and it feels really sturdy. The cordless functionality means I can just shave my head in the shower tub before I shower, and then run the water to clump up the hair and then throw it out in the trash. Hopefully I don't have to since there are some reviews saying it lasts forever, but I would spend $375 on this again. I will never part with it and my shaver. I feel so confident when I look at my face in the mirror now. 😊

Great product super fast shipping very much suggest to others fantastic seller unbeatable prices 😀 👍 👌 🙌 hands down the best clipper on the market

I am in love these Clippers! They are an absolute must have in your tool collection! I would recommend these to anyone. They are fairly quiet, lightweight, comfortable to hold and so efficient! If you are thinking about purchasing these clippers I would do it because they are worth every penny! Not to mention they shipped so fast. They were at my doorstep the next day.

It was expensive but the battery life is awesome. I've never had the battery die and I use it about 2x/wk. In the 6 years of ownership I've charged the battery less than a dozen times, and only do so just to top off. I've gone through 2 blades but I love the flexibility of the li-ion cordless w/ corded power. I shave my head outside to I don't make a mess in the bathroom, which was not realistic until I had this. I had another major brand cordless but the battery had a poor life and it lacked the power. Definitely would purchase again if build quality remains the same.

Package arrived on time. The packaging was immaculate. The dock has a nice grip for the clippers. Superb about most of the item. Obvious downfall was that they never charged. If you put the clipper into the dock and the LED light doesn't change from green to red (signifying that it's charging) then it's busted. Go ahead and try to let the clipper sit on the dock for hours assuming you will have any luck. It won't happen. Seems a lot of customers are receiving this item with the same exact issue. Don't waste your time. Now, I have to send it back and waste more time on this thing. Wish I could just throw it away and get my money back. It's a useless item anyway.

2nd pair of these. While they are expensive, they are work horses! Best in the game.

Excellente producto llego muy rapido y Todo funciona Al 💯 me encanto esta maquinas se Las recomiendo mucho muy ligera y cortar de maravilla

I was in the market for a Cordless Clipper. Really any Clipper. My hair dresser used the Oster 76 Wired Clipper. Which worked really well. Like most people in the market for Clippers it gets to the point where you say... Why not buy one and cut your own hair. Especially if you're buzzing it. So I read a ton of reviews and despite the fairly heavy price tag of $400.00 CDN I decided to purchase the Oster Octane. It came promptly. No problem with the charger being dead on arrival as some reviewers had mentioned. It comes with 2 blades. A 1 and a 000 which are perfect for me as those are the two I use. A 1 on top and I use the 000 for fading my sideburns. Now I'm in the market for a 0000 or 00000 just to do clean the bottom/neck. Although the 000 works quite well. 1 thing I noticed right away was the reduction in sound. My Hair dresser as I mention uses the Oster 76 and its always loud in my ear. The Oster Octane sound is probably half. It was so refreshing and nice to not have the loud sound while receiving a buzz. The look of it is really cool. Opening it and seeing it in package was exciting. With that black carbon fiber look. Its appealing. Its fairly lightweight and feels nice in the hands. My fiancees 100 lbs and does most of my cuts. Shes never complained about the weight or feel. Only positive things to say. I have never had any issue so far. Purchased in July of 2018 and here we are in January 2019! I cut my hair once a week since I got it. So far I've charged it twice... so long battery life. In my research I came across another product review to possibly extend battery life. Its a review from Amazon.com. I'll paste it for you below... When you receive the clipper you turn it on and run it WITHOUT A BLADE ON THE CLIPPER until it dies and then Place it on the charger for your first charge... doing so maximizes your batteries long term health. This only needs to be performed one time. And it will take at least 5 complete charges to get the maximum battery life out of the ion battery. I did this and has worked out very well whether it helped or not. If you're thinking about this Clipper. Do your homework. If the price point is in your budget. I would go for it. Because I am extremely happy with my choice. And so is my fiancee who loves my buzz cut look. Thanks for a great product Oster Octane!!!

Se ve que efectivamente es buena pero si hace algo de ruido es bella pero la tube que regresar no me agrado por el ruido y no porque estuviera mal no me convenció soy algo exagerado con mis cosas y por eso la regrese que el vendedor es atento y no hay queja alguna, gracias

Finally received it after long time in transit to Canada. Very exciting to unbox. Device turns on and also charges on the charging stand perfectly unlike what other reviewers said here. Amazing build quality and performance. Feels great in my hand and engine is quiet and very powerful. Cuts on the first attempt and no need to go over the hair again. Battery life is very long almost few hours. I feel I made a good long term investment. I think I won't be going to hair salons anymore as Oster Octane does the job. I let the battery discharge (drain) fully the first time just leaving the clipper in the box while ON without clipper blade. Then charged it fully and works perfectly. Very happy and highly recommend it.

The Oster Octane is high quality..., verry nice clipper. The blades are a bit slow but they're strong and sharp. No hair pulling, it cuts everything in one motion. It's made this way to reduce heat and prolong battery life. It's the exact same unit as the Heiniger Saphir made in Switzerland. I don't know the detail but they just call it an Oster Octane and the warranty by Oster is better. It's hard to find the things you need in one place. The Andis Comb Attachment #66345 and #66320 with one Magnet they are the perfect fit for it, I got that at www.eBay.com. An extra Lithium ion Battery, I got that at www.Goodmans.net.
