Thanks Carlos for this honest review. I have these clippers and I'm a novice self teaching barber(still very much in the learning phase) and I like these clippers. I have the other Kemei 1986 as well and I prefer the feel of the Pro. One thing that you didn't mention was the lever stops for the blade. It has 5 stops but the wide open stop doesn't hold its position and slips out so if you're going to use that stop you'll have to either hold your thumb on the lever to keep it wide open or you'll have to loosen the lever with a Phillips head screw driver, hold the blade in that open position and then tighten the screw. Also, this is rather petty but if you're going to make a machine with a digital display showing the charge level don't you think it should go up to 100% rather than stopping at 99%? Just a minor QC issue but it's pretty glaring.
Thanks for the honesty. Upgraded to wahl blade and wahl premium guard system and this is still a killer deal and combo when you compare it to what magic clips are selling for right now.
I just bought the pro 1986 for my personal use. Just arrived today. I’ve been cutting my own hair for 30 years. This will be my first cordless machine. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing your prospective 👍🏿
Did my first self cut with the original 1986 model and I love them...surprised that the pro versions are not as good. I wanted the notch lever but didn’t want to wait for the clipper as Amazon was sold out...lucky for me...keep the reviews coming.
U gained a subscriber cuz u actually put time into the clippers before u dropped a review. I had never heard of these until I saw them on Amazon and I googled them and your video came up. I’m looking for some new clippers to do house calls with so I think I’m gonna check the original 1986s out and see how they are.
Thanks for the review long overdue. Barbers table made it like these were the must have kemei’s of 2020. I have been having them for 3 weeks and I still can’t find comfort with them.
I bought a 1986 Kemei. What blades fit this machine and which do you recomend. I heard I can change for some wahls but don't know which ones I should buy. Thank you.
im looking for guides for this clipper i was wondering wich ones fit since the original only comes with like 3 guides if someone can help me out i would really apreciate it
I have been trying to get ahold of you to see if you’re interested on doing a review on new hair clippers that came out. These clippers have a little more powerful motor than the Kemei 1986 clippers (10 watts vs 8 watts). How can I get a hold of you to send them?
Hey Carlos, thanks for the great reviews I just wish I had waited for this review before I went ahead and ordered a set keep up the good work................ love n peace from Ireland
Yeah I'll order me some fade blades n see how it goes 🤞🤞, not holding out much hope cause I got a set of the 1990s and the taper lever flops about like hell so the blade does what ever the hell it wants😠but ya never know, cheers for the advice bro, stay well 😷😷
I can get the wahl fade blade to fit my 1986 pro. I got it to fit the 1996 and 1997 but the wahl fade blade isn’t fitting the kemei 1986 pro? How to mod it?
Hey I just bought the Moohelz look almost the same but I payed lil over $30.. I wanna decent fade. Plus Ive been working with out the .5 & 1.5 gaurds. Which they come with.. Plz lmk what you think
Hello, When you charge it fully does it show a 99% indication? I turn on mine and the indicator shows 99. But have charged it for hours and it still shows 90. Is this a defect or does this happen to everybody?
Anthing beat kenie 1986 yet... i just broke my pair.. looking for replacement or should i just ket same ones? I have different blades so thats not a problem...
If it’s in a hot environment of course blades will heat up all clippers will heat up if it’s in a hot environment and no they don’t come zero gaps but you can easily do that
So I have a really good question about the blades. If I need to change the steal blade out I know that you had indicated that the Wahl blades are good for the clipper, but which Wahl blades would fit it or does it even matter.
@@premiercutts22 Well, that you so much. This is really good. I obviously won’t need to change the blade for a long time of course but when I do this surely does help. Thanks a million!!
@@premiercutts22 I have a wähl cutting the is too tight to fit on the ligature. The blade s just balancing. Is that normal. Great video all the same. I love your honesty.
bought a kemei 1986 for home use and got my first cut yesterday. Love it. Been wanting a km 1996 for a while, even ordered it from an ebay scammer and got a refund from ebay. Need a replacement from a low end Andis for years! Plural! Been a while. Man it's an upgrade. And bought the 1986 cause you were like, blade works out the box for home use. It does man. African american hair. it blew threw just fine. Hell and still had 90% charge. Came set up with a straight blade, fully charged. Might still change the blade but right now money is tight and the stock blade is ok. Glad i skipped the 1986 pro. Plus the 1986 was on sale on Amazon and i got it delivered in one day! No two months from China for the 1996. I'm not big on the gold. I'm more a silver guy, but i can live with it. It's solid too. I don't know why, but i watched tons of reviews on the km 1996 but and I don't like the gold. But your 1986 review convinced me on that. That and this review and how the 1986 blade was good out the box. Agreed. thanks. So far i'm impressed. love the original 1986.
I enjoyed the in depth video. Can you please tell me is there any difference between the 1986 and surker? Also which is your favorite clipper in your collection?
Have you seen the km2010 yet they look clean, but i respect your view on the off brand clippers and would to know what you think of them if do get them
Love the lighting in your room.. Hey I'm from India and I've gone in with a Rozia - HQ2208.. I was wondering what is the best place to be looking for good replaceable blades for clippers. I'm not looking to change them yet, but I want to know how best i can manage using the clipper over prolonged time..
I just got my normal 1986 in the mail and I'm pretty excited about using them. I got em because you said the blade was good out of the box (I did re-allign it because it was crooked). Thanks for posting this kind of content I appreciate it a lot! Also, are there any cheap trimmers that come out of the box with a good blade?
Unfortunately almost all kemei clippers need to mod to get the right feels for barbering I absolutely agree the regular 86 is better, And i planned to exchange the dynamo from my old 86, becouse the clicks, it helps so much for fade, and my 86 now sound more noisy than usual 😒 Idk if you feel that too Btw awesome vids 🙏
Tengo un problema con esta clipper, funcionaba normal y de la nada un día comenzó a apagarse. La cargaba completamente y al encenderla se apaga a los 10 segundos, y marcaba 0% de batería en el temporizador, la cargaba otra vez y de nuevo lo mismo se apaga a los 10 segundos. Pensé que era la batería así que la cambie pero sigue pasando lo mismo. Al usarla conectada funciona normalmente. No sé si sea problema del temporizador. Alguien puede ayudarme. Gracias
I just got all my clippers from AliExpress that I ordered in May. I don’t like that Kemei and the shop owner where I cut said not to use it in the shop lol. I’m selling these clippers on eBay if anyone’s interested.
That kool I know just bc I don’t like them as much that other ppl still might fine the good that what’s great we all have definitely things we see in each item
Hi bro.. I am really confused with those kemei models... I want one that smoothly cut my hair in even way...So... do you suggest 1996 or 1997? Or ther one.... Thank you
Hi again... I have found only the 1987 model in the nearest retail ... do you think that will be the same as 1986..or should I go for online order for the 1986.. appreciate it...
Got the same pair but mine say 1984. The originals shape motor and blade were good. This fat boy is heavier, the motor cuts slower hence the plus twenty five percent battery life boast. The blades are awful even after zero gapping them. Yes this would be great for home use once you swap to a wahl 2191 blade and I am not a fan of wahl. I can see the weight being a pain in the ass for a barber who cuts all day unless they do a lot of working out . The plus side you catch these on a lightning deal on Amazon you can get them for 30 like I did maybe 35 or ,40 which is cheap for Keimi products nowadays. I saw a bundle that had this clipper and the matching trimmer for 51 on Amazon which isn't bad at all.

Yea only bc I going to be talking about that in the comparison video that why I didn’t mention about the lever but that’s for the feedback
Hello! Whats your thoughts about the 1986s nowadays? Do they still work well?
Thanks for the honesty. Upgraded to wahl blade and wahl premium guard system and this is still a killer deal and combo when you compare it to what magic clips are selling for right now.
For sure I definitely agree
might you be able to link, both the new blade and guard system? thinking of picking up this clipper but heard it requires the blade at least
Man I been waiting for this one bro appreciate the honesty keep up the good work God Bless.
Thanks EMan
I just bought the pro 1986 for my personal use. Just arrived today. I’ve been cutting my own hair for 30 years. This will be my first cordless machine. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing your prospective 👍🏿
Hope u enjoy them
There's a magnet inside near the shaft that connects to the blade and motor take it out. No bog down fixed
What's bog down?
@@ericvillanueva9852 when the motor sounds like its struggling
Do u have a snap or something where u can guide me through
Hey did you say you changed blade is so to what, I'm looking to get these clippers, only for cutting my own hair, thanks
So which other clippers are better???
Did my first self cut with the original 1986 model and I love them...surprised that the pro versions are not as good. I wanted the notch lever but didn’t want to wait for the clipper as Amazon was sold out...lucky for me...keep the reviews coming.
Appreciate that
Guess I’m returning the 1986 PRO and ordering the original 1986. Thanks for your honest review and opinion.

Thank you so much you SAVED me $$ that I could get another clipper with!
Glad it was of help
Do you think it’s good for self cut?
I appreciate you taking your time to do a thorough review. Luckily I read some comments inbetween and decided to get the original 1986.
That’s what’s up
What does he mean by original ?? The original Kemei ? Or wahl ??
@@soochhay the original Kemei 1986
Do you have to customize the blades or is the quality pretty good out of the box?
What Guards did you use on the original 1986?
WAHL
hi man i need your opinion which one is better between the 1986 the 1996 and the 2010 ? thanks
Like the 1986
What is a really good clipper at a good price
Do the purple andis guards fit the original 1986?
It works but not a perfect fit but it does work with any of the WAHL blades
Thank you, very useful appreciate what ur doing
You are very welcome
I got these and mine came with the fade blade already.
Which clipper did you like better, 1986 pro or 1996? Thanks!
1996
Thanks for the review long overdue. Barbers table made it like these were the must have kemei’s of 2020. I have been having them for 3 weeks and I still can’t find comfort with them.
That’s why I take my time with these videos a lot can change if you don’t really put them to the test
I bought a 1986 Kemei. What blades fit this machine and which do you recomend. I heard I can change for some wahls but don't know which ones I should buy. Thank you.
I use the WAHL Fade Blade
@@premiercutts22 #2161 correct?

I have the original and they are a monster. Blends and cuts anything in its path!
bought a pair and for me there are amazing.
Facts!!
How’s it been holding up?
What are the clippers you use in the barbershop?
I have a video on that go check it out/ 2020 barber setup
I can get the wahl fade blade to fit my 1986 pro. I got it to fit the 1996 and 1997 but the wahl fade blade isn’t fitting the kemei 1986 pro? How to mod it?
It fits on mine I show it in the video
Can whal preimium guards fit this clipper?
Yes
Hey I just bought the Moohelz look almost the same but I payed lil over $30.. I wanna decent fade. Plus Ive been working with out the .5 & 1.5 gaurds. Which they come with.. Plz lmk what you think
I didn’t like the Kemei Pro
Not like the original 1986
So which Kemei clipper in your opinion is the best? I thought about buying a clipper from them ..
The original Kemei 1986
From what your coworker said ,it sounds like if you put a ceramic blade on it and then you put the top blade of a fast feed, it might cut like one
Juan Cordova I don’t think this clipper is worth to do a mod with
Hello, When you charge it fully does it show a 99% indication? I turn on mine and the indicator shows 99. But have charged it for hours and it still shows 90. Is this a defect or does this happen to everybody?

Good Looking out ... I truly appreciate it!
Anthing beat kenie 1986 yet... i just broke my pair.. looking for replacement or should i just ket same ones? I have different blades so thats not a problem...
If that clipper work for you then just stay with that
But I do have a video on my new favorite clipper
Are they still running or have they died out?
Still working
It will be nice to see u do an unboxing and review of Kemei 2010
On the list
So what are the best affordable clippers out there?
Their are a lot of good one but most just need to change the blade to get them to cut at a high level
What is better 1986 or 1986 pro?
I talk about that very thing in the video 🤷🏽♂️
You don't pay attention
Can you please choose one between
Kemei 1986 or Kemei 1986 pro??
And why...with reason...if possible
The 1986
Feels better cuts better and is just better
@@premiercutts22 thnx
Do the blade heat up???
Are they zero gapped by default???
Kindly advise
If it’s in a hot environment of course blades will heat up all clippers will heat up if it’s in a hot environment and no they don’t come zero gaps but you can easily do that
