DESCRIPTION :-
Here are the full details, pros/cons, and value-judgement for the VGR V-693 Professional Salon Series Hair Clipper (Gold, 150-min runtime) + observations from user reviews.
Specs & Features
Based on what I found (official site + major listings) the VGR V-693 offers:
| Feature | What it is |
|---|---|
| Battery & Runtime | 1200 mAh Lithium battery, ~ 150 minutes cordless use after ~1.5 hours charging. |
| Charging Method/Power | USB charging; input 5 V – 1 A |
| Blade Material | Stainless steel blades. |
| Trimming Range / Length Settings / Guide Combs | Includes 6 guide combs; trimming range about 0.5 mm to 12 mm. |
| LED Display | Yes — shows battery status etc. |
| Water Resistance / Washable Features | Described as “water resistance” / “washable head / waterproof trimmer” in listings; “fully waterproof / washable head” in Flipkart title. But official site says “non-washable body” (but blades can be cleaned with a brush). |
| Charging Time | ~1.5 hours. |
What Looks Good / Strengths
-
Long battery life for its class: 150 mins is quite good for home/salon use.
-
Fast charging (1.5 hrs) relative to some trimmers with very long runtimes.
-
Multiple guide combs + good trimming range (0.5-12 mm) allow flexibility for different haircut lengths/styles.
-
LED display helps you monitor battery so you’re not surprised mid-trim.
-
Stainless steel blades — decent durability and cutting performance if maintained.
-
Water resistance / washable head (if you get the model that has washable head) helps with cleaning and hygiene.
Possible Weaknesses / Things to Watch
-
“Water resistance” seems to be phrased somewhat loosely. On the official page, it says “non-washable” for the body, and only the blades are to be cleaned with the brush. So it may not be fully waterproof in all parts.
-
Plastic body — less robust than full metal housings; may be more prone to damage if dropped.
-
The motor power (RPM etc.) isn’t very clearly specified in all sources; performance with very thick/coarse hair may be less smooth compared to high-end salon clippers.
-
Heavier use may reduce battery capacity over time (as with most cordless tools).
-
Some listings say “fully waterproof” but others do not — so version differences / seller accuracy matter.
Value & Who It’s Good For
This model is a solid mid-to upper-mid range clipper. If you:
-
Want long battery life and flexibility in trimming lengths
-
Need a trimmer for both hair clipping + beard/body grooming at home
-
Prefer USB charging and some level of washability or easy cleaning
-
Don’t need super-premium build (metal body) or ultra-high motor power
Then VGR V-693 offers a good balance of features vs cost.
