No wonder my US clippers sounds like it's trying destroy itself from within.
Then what brand is the most quiet?
@@toplespecah666 just get a 220v clippers. No need to modify
@@8gti9 thanks
The converter is much more expensive than the clipper though.
Wow. I’m in Bali and just tried to use my clippers, big horrible racket. Spent some time trying to fix em in my hotel room. SO thankful to have found your video. I’ll go to an actual barber for three weeks instead ;-)
Wait so what's the solution?
Thank you. Great explanation! Ive been trying to figure out why my wall clippers are soooo freakin annoyingly loud overseas plugged into my inverter box. Cheers.
Great explanation, but huge safety no no, please don’t open up an electric appliance when it’s plugged in to 120 or 220v mains. Touch the wrong part and you may get a shock, in some cases it could be fatal.
I should be dead by now then, 70yo and still going.
U posted this video 4 years ago and it is still useful to date 2019... I have a wahl clipper and the sound is annoying after watching your video i now understand why it sounds like that.. Thanks for posting.
O man this is exactly my issue right now. Expat living in Germany and bought some clippers to save money on haircuts. Reviews were great and specifically said they were quite but using them with a 50-60 hz transformer they are HORRIBLE. Thank you for this.
There is also an adjustment screws on some models to correct the distance so there won't be a "bang" sound.
Thank you!!
I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my clippers
Very good.. I had the same problem a few days back and was thinking what was wrong.. now I get it. Thank 🙏🏼 you Sir!
I don't know why I watched this video since I don't even own any clippers. That being said, great informative video. I couldn't stop watching. Thanks!
Where you from
yeah i dont sleep much anymore either damn you youtube lol
Thanks for this video. I live in Jamaica - where we run on 50Hz like the UK, but only 110v - closer to the US 120v. I hardly use my clipper (a Wahl) that I purchased in the US because of how loud it is. After trying many times to adjust it with no success, this video finally explained why. I won't bin the clippers again, but I'm wondering how many other appliances in my house are under-performing for the same reason.
I lived in the Philippines. They use 220V 60Hz on US outlets.
Also Eastern Japan (100V 50Hz) in Tokyo has the same problem by operating 60hz clippers. It works fine in Okinawa and Kyoto uses 100V at 60Hz in western Japan.
120V AC to 12V DC 70w converter with car plug and 115V 60Hz 75w inverter.
Where do you get the converter. I’m in north of Japan
My clipper is still making noise whyy???
I brought my clippers to Perú, and when I plug them in, they started making this very loud noise and overheating. Now I return to the United States, and they still make that same noise but no longer overheat. Are they damaged for life?
Got so angry at my US bought Wahl (walmart) that I slammed it on bathroom counter hard enough to bust it into 100 pieces. Was new after breaking the last new pair! Lesson learned here is not anger management, but rather stay away from the shitty brand!
Watching this in 2024. Thank you, almost trashed my canadian made clippers.
So what I got from this is, throw away your US clippers and buy a new one
Hey man I like how you explain things. it makes understanding that much easier there 's no guessing , we know and that means a lot. because of this I just subscribed to your channel as you say in the UK cheers mate! i have the WAHL'S balding clipper I GUESS IT'S THE SAME AS FAR AS THESE ADJUSTMENTS GO??
Amazing. I just wasted an hour in Amalfi looking for a store that sells screwdrivers.
Hello everyone,
I work at Wahl global headquarters. If you are having issues with the clipper please contact wahl for troubleshooting or you can send it in and they will fix the issue. Hope this helps
So after spending about half an hour trying to fix my noise problem in myclippers, following all steps correctly that I could find (adjusting tuners, lining up blades, cleaning up my clippers etc), I ran into this video. I forgot to consider in the fact that I am trying to use US clippers in Europe (with a US->EU adapter no less) without that handy device you have in the video. Who would have thought?? Not me!! I’m glad I ran into this because I wouldn’t have quit till I somehow made them work or did something dumb!! Thank you!
Hey Larry I have just received your 60hz transformer and alléluia !!! it works i got to say i was a bit skeptical.. Thank you
Wow! Super easy to understand. Thank you
Bought a wahl clipper from US. Now i'm in uk its making a loud sound like in the video. Need to find a convert or just buy a uk spec clipper.
Zan Bautista me too
Ok but will 30min of usage with that loud noise damage the machine permanently?
+RRGMedia yes it will
The simple solution to this problem is to buy a new clipper that works on 50 hz...... you’re welcome 😉🙂
It's not faster reaction at all.
60hz is 16.7ms period.
50hz is 20ms, so on 50hz it is powered longer, and drives farther, has nothing to do with reaction time. 9 years of explaining it wrong.
@@Ozzy3333333 is 16.7ms not faster than 20ms ?
@@larrythebarberman 16.7ms is "shorter" than 20ms, what you dont get it this is the arm DRIVE time, NOT response time. At 50hz, the arm is driven longer, nothing to do with response.
@@larrythebarberman I have an idea, try a $3 lamp dimmer, it reduces the on time, try it about 80 to 100% to see if the noise goes away, but still has the power.
The new clippers are already coming to Europe with Power: Euro - 230V. So they work normally.
Video is cool but metaphors are completely wild….
the sticker on my transformer's output indicates 50 to 60 HZ so I assume it will automatically operate on 60 but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any idea?
I wonder if the difference are the tuning springs being 2 different tensions for the models so if you swap them it corrects this.
I have a Super Taper EU edition that says 230V 50Hz. do i need a 60hz converter for better result?
Thank you for the video finaly i fix my WAHL clipper noise. My clipper has a screw on the side to adjust the spring no more noise. The problem was like you said the parts hitting..Thank you again.
Oiling or changing the transformer will be of good results
where is the fix??did you just adjust the opening of the blades with the side screw?
Hello there my clipper has a screw on the side but not all of then have is not the opening of the blade. If you see the video the hitting part is what make the noise so the screw on the side adjust that, remember not aal the clipper has the screw.
@@pagosa1018 what screw on the side?
@@mrsnoop1820 My clipper has a screw on side of the blade to adjust but not all the clipper have this particular screws
Thanks. I wish I watched this before I bought new clippers in Japan. I thought new old ones couldn’t be adjusted to be quiet anymore, now I have two clippers made for the wrong frequency🤦🏼
that's life!!
I got q clipper fr9n saudi arabia and it says in the box 60hz. I Tried to use it here in the UK and it made the same noise in your video. Going to Boots now to purchase a new on and will look in thr box wheere it says 50hz 220v. Helpful vid and keep it up. CHEERS!!!
I purchased a Wahl clipper that is powered by 230v-50hz (malaysia voltage is 230 - 50hz) about a year ago. Recently, I did zeroing on the blade. At first, it ran smoothly. Lately, It made noisy vibrating sound. Can anyone here assist? Thank you.
to fix the problem more most ppl simply tighten what he tightens at 2:15 in the video. This tightens the spring which helps the arm that cause the vibration to speed up. Here is the vid that refers to the 2:15 mark. Hope i could help.th-cam.com/video/AOijOUuUWwg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NitinTnsGreen
th-cam.com/video/Sl1jMIBUOkM/w-d-xo.html
Is that also the reason why us clipper motors are more powerful than the european version for same product.
I bought a pair of oster fast feeds and used with both a standard 50hz converter as well as your 60hz converter which I bought from ebay. There's no noise difference but the clippers sound like they are moving considerably faster. Is this normal and what I should expect?
jesus I dont care about the analogies just get to the fix
fair enough!!
Which type of whal clipper you explain
I have an Oster Fast Feed 12watt ...does it have more power than the new Fast Feeds at 9watt?
The noise alone I learned how to live with. But the problem is, without the frequency converter, after 5 years of constantly banging, the moving arm finally broke. I just had to replace my Wahl clipper with another also from Wahl but this one runs at 220V.
So it worked, no fire risk?
I have a cheap aet of conairs that i brought on a 45 day trip. If they still work and there is no fire rosk, I may just deal w the noise
@@chrisfurner No fire at all but the blade did get hot real quick, it would only be a problem if used without the attachment. Other than that, it had served me well for five years.
@@chrisfurner hey did you manage to use your hair clippers without starting a fire? I am about to use my hair clippers too and I'll just deal with the noise too....
@@Pham-Bao-Hoa thank you! Is it a good idea to take a break in between while cutting my hair? And what do you mean by attachment?? Do you mean the Guard 1, guard 2, guard 3 attachments??
@@chicksboii Yeah I used to just turn it off for a couple of seconds to let the motor rest a little while moving to different parts of the head. But it wouldn't help much with the temperature though because once it gets hot, it stays hot for quite a while and I did not want to wait too long for it to cool down. As for the attachment, I used the lowest, the 1/16" guard. Basically any sizes, as long as it keeps the blade from direct contact with your scalp.
Great video! Thanks Larry! 🍻
where can you buy the 60hz from ? i bought a clipper of ebay from usa and its a wahl clipper and its loud as! so this video is telling me if i get a 60hz plug it will be fixed ? info please
- AC to DC converter (Foreign: 100V - 240V AC to 12V DC, 120V AC to DC converter can only be used in Eastern Japan, Jamaica, and Barbados)
- 115V 60Hz 75w inverter from the US.
So how do you fix it??
Thank you! We live overseas and have watched so many videos trying to troubleshoot our ultra-loud Wahl clippers. Now we finally know the reason!
Ok. So what we should do to fix it? I have the same problem in 1 of my Wahl Balding clipper.
That's a pretty good explanation, thanks a lot! :)
Isn't that why there is a screw on side to fine-tune for more or lesser power?
Yes , with the frequency, with the wrong frequency the screw will do nothing
wow i was just to tru mine in garbage and you save it ,thank you for yoyr time
Where can I get the converter
Larry, really a very valuable informative video.....strongly was in need of this...i m from india..just bought Wahl elite pro clipper from amazon US delivered yesterday...here in India we have 220V 50Hz supply...clipper sounds horrible...so what all devices and converters do i need so that my clipper runs without such noise..plz suggest..what device should I ask in shop.. what type of convertor like frequency convertor or voltage transfomer or what else...plz suggest
Did you know what to do? Having the same problem here
@@dr.ahmedaljamal7699 I bought a 110-220v voltage convertor, but still itz very noisy. The issue is with frequency. We have 50Hz n US use 60Hz..n there is no device available which will work on frequency correction..
Great explanation thanks buddy :)
Wow this happened to me while i was in Jamaica. I thought my clippers were conking out. I just plugged them back into my us socket and they work great. Thanks. I almost threw them out.
Can you simple to file the arm?
I would not like to hazard a guess - it would be a lot filing, that much I do know 😎
is that real .??
This problem can be easily cured using a small rubber foot costing 10c from a hardware store... inserted to reduce vibration....
best video ever-good explanation. a lot thanks
❤ wow amazing
👍👍🙏👍👍 best
WOW! SO helpful! I just got a new pair shipped from the US and tried them for the 1st time in Bali and almost threw them out! Thank you !
th-cam.com/video/Sl1jMIBUOkM/w-d-xo.html Make the eork properly.
This is very informative.
I have a question, though.
What will happen when I use a 50Hz clipper in a place where 60Hz is used?
Would it work?
Chu Kang chances are the voltage would not be enough for the 50hz clipper - as they 240v normally and 60hz are 120v
@@larrythebarberman Thank you for the quick answer.
I got a clipper looking like that from my friend.
The product says its voltage is 230V and 50Hz but I'm gonna use it in Korea whose voltage is 220V and 60Hz. I have no idea the machine will work properly.
Thank you very much for the explanation mate!
WalterXP your welcome!!!
My clippers are working just fine, but I have been banging into the back of a lot of cars lately.
Sounds like I just need to start driving a little faster to improve my reaction time. Thank you Larry!
Nice video I am also facing this type of problem..
shayari mehfil I hop it works for you
i have also facing same problem its making loud noise ….i need to buy 60hz amp power
hello , i have wahl 300 series made in usa , its make very loud noise i am in algeria, africa , we use 220..300 V
This explains why my clippers from the US in India are like someone is dying from electrocution in the next room.
if the coverter says 50-60Hz, does it mean i no longer need a frequency converter?
My clipper operates at 50 Hz..
Can I bump it to 60 Hz just like you did in the video?
Do you know where I can get a clipper booster from?
Nandi X booster what do you mean
hi there what if my brand new andis pro alloy makes a banging noise? btw the motor of pro alloy xtr and andis masters r the same. its weird coz i plug my andis superliner (120v/60hz) to a stepdown converter and it works perfectly fine. my andis powerfade also works perfectly fine as well. it doesnt state the hz on the stepdown converter i have. also the clipper and trimmer that work fine on the converter are both rotary motor, if that makes any difference
i have a andis clipper im in montreal 120volts 60hz i got a rattle problems i tried with no blade to see how was about and the clipper continue the noise... i dont know what is the probleme...
Thank you very much very informative
My sis gifted me but I thought it was from scrap. Now how can I change the voltage in India
Thanks just what i was looking for!!!
ps i love you! lol
wow that was a really really good video. Started out making me scared thinking you would go to far down the rabbit hole with Hz and etc... but you gave just enough the video was SHORT and to the point loved it. Thank YoU!!!
Does the 50hz damage the clipper?
I used mine like that for about six hours in total running time, I thought I bought a faulty clipper until I googled it
Question, can I still use them in Europe? They say rated for 110 on the clipper, will it just be noisy or will it start a fire?
Use a screwdriver to adjust the clipper star screw.
I am in US with 60hz clipper, but my clipper still makes that horrible noise. What should I do?
Adjust the screw
What is the specification of 220 to 110 convertor please?
Thank you sir for this video learned a lot of things, but I had a question I have a converter I tested the wahl pilot works fine no noise, but on the corded wahl premium senior it does a huge noise as if it's the cordless senior a bit louder.
I tried to adjust the power didn't do anything, tried to open it up and push on the moving arm next to the big screw saw a video on it the guy had the same noise as my corded senior. But still nothing, I also find yours a bit noisy compared to videos I'v seen I know how the legend sounds so when I saw somebody comparing his clippers (he had the same corded senior premium and it was almost the same as a corded legend).
So I tried to contact some barbers that have the corded wahl senior and someone told me it was the spring, but when I opened it removed the blade, there was no spring only the cutting blade holder, with some sponge to hold the hair from entering the clipper. When I tried to put it on while there was no blade it made I crazy sound I was shocked, I don't dare to put it back on.
I pushed on the moving arm while it was on and the sound disappeared should I tighten it up with the two screws on the side?
3:07 reason for it sounding loud starts there for people wanting an immediate answer
Hello Laryy so i just have to buy another transformer is so noise please
Amazing video !
in ksa we don't need these adapter because Ac 60h220 or 110
Rap Rap
Saudi Arabia uses 220V at 60Hz UK outlet.
Same voltage and freq. as 220V 60Hz in the Philippines (US outlets), South Korea (Schuko outlet), Some states in Brazil (NBR 14136 OUTLET), Guyana (UK outlet), Antigua and Barbuda (US outlet) and Montserrat (US outlet), etc.
Rap Rap
50Hz clock will run very fast at 60Hz.
Try 50Hz clock radio fro Europe or UAE on Saudi Outlets.
Got trouble operating European appliances on 220V 60Hz countries such as the Philippines?
I'm from the Philippines too and I'll buy Saudi or South Korean appliaces to the Philippines.
No problem if your device labels "50Hz/60Hz".
Hey! Watch my video and webstore for a solution: th-cam.com/video/sqi_DNjkpAg/w-d-xo.html
i bought it from ksa wahl 300 series and make a lot of noise ? i am algerian
we use 220v what i should do ????
if in my country its 220v and 50 hz this solution can change both of them? i mean- from220 volts to 110 volts and also the frequency from 50HZ to 60 hz? its change both of them?
Voltage converters cannot change frequencies.
Where can i buy this amazing converter?
where can i get one of that 60hz converter????
shop.larrythebarberman.com/frequency60hz-hair-clipper-voltage-converter-240v-to-110v-60hz/
the moving arm is not heat treated properly its not as strong as it should , take your clipper to iron monger and ask him to make it stronger by heat treatment and then for in EU use a normal 220v to 120v and little tuning and it will work 100% ...and for the US heat treatment tun it and just plug it and it will work .... this is the problem that no one know about it. and stop westing money on transformers .
+Marion Haykal Ok Marion, if this the case please show your the video
I'll use that transformers only in the Philippines and 220V at 60Hz countries like South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Antigua, etc.
Jamaica, Japan (Eastern and Northern area only including Tokyo, Hokkaido, etc.), Barbados, Curacao and Bonaire that uses 110V at 50Hz.
im from curacao and i got the 5 star senior jesus that makes a loud noise and turning it all the way down it wont cut right? help thx

Buy a 120V AC to 12V DC 70W car outlet adapter from the US and 75W 115V 60Hz inverter.
Can I get for sweden? What do I need to look for?
Nice video! but what is the solution? Do i have to buy some sort of an adaptor or something? or is there a way to fix it?
Larry explains very well but no solution or suggestion to buy another brand.???
Where can I find this same transformer?
I'm still puzzled.
I have a UK plug Wahl Super Taper, although it does say Made in USA, but it's 230V/50hz.
I'm using it in Portugal, which is also 230V/50hz, but I still get the noise. I've cleaned the entire thing, tightened the screws, and adjusted the powerscrew but it won't fix.
Any ideas?
pLaxton just adjust the power screw on the side
@@larrythebarberman I've adjsted the power screw in all manner of ways. It just brings that vibration down so low that the blades dont cut
pLaxton ignore the clipper and converter and follow the the video th-cam.com/video/UfQsiQ7V22g/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much! Very useful video
Such a helpful video!!! Thanks for posting!
very nice information...
If the item is 110/220 volt does that mean it has 50/60 hz ?
