Comparison Moser Genio Plus 1854-0076 vs Moser Genio 1565-0077

— Clipper. The clipper is designed for cutting and modeling hair on the head. Usually, they have a fairly wide blade, which allows them to capture a large amount of hair at a time. It is usually equipped with a wide range of nozzles, as well as additional hairdressing accessories and service materials.

— Multifunctional clipper. Multifunctional devices come with an extensive assortment of attachments, allowing you to perform tasks like hair cutting, beard and mustache trimming, as well as nose and ear hair removal. These devices cater to comprehensive grooming needs for the head, face, and neck. Typically featuring a powerful motor, a multifunctional device excels at various hair care tasks. Many times, it's accompanied by a case or a comprehensive docking station.

— Set clipper + trimmer. The set consists of two separate devices, a hair clipper and a trimmer. The hair clipper allows you to cut and model the hairline on the head. The trimmer is also used to care for the beard and mustache. The sets are good because they allow you to comprehensively approach the care of hair on the head and face. Thanks to the division of devices into a clipper and a trimmer, the set acquires higher reliability and durability than in universal models with many attachments.

— Beard trimmer. Devices created for trimming and sculpting beards, mustaches, and sideb...urns have distinctive features. They set themselves apart from hair clippers through their narrower blades and smaller teeth, ensuring precise and accurate results.

— Beard and nose trimmer. The beard and nose trimmers belong to the universal category. For the care of beards and mustaches, classic serrated knives with a width of 10 to 40 mm are used. To shave hairs in the ears and nose, blades in the form of a tubular nozzle are used.

— Trimmer for beard, nose and eyebrows. The trimmer for a beard, a nose and eyebrows is completed with an expanded range of nozzles. For eyebrows, narrow serrated blades are used, and for beards and mustaches, nozzles with a wider cutting edge are used. To care for the hair in the canals of the nose and ears, special tubular blades are used that easily shave off the hairs in the most inaccessible places.

— Nose and ear trimmer. Nose and ear trimmers come with a cylindrical attachment designed to navigate easily within nasal and ear passages. This specialized attachment effectively and painlessly manages hair removal from hard-to-reach areas. The majority of nose and ear trimmers rely on replaceable battery packs for power.

— Body trimmer. A body trimmer combines the features of an electric shaver and a conventional trimmer. It facilitates both hair cutting and precise shaving for a smooth appearance. The body trimmer is effective in removing hair from areas like the neck, chest, abdomen, and back. Numerous models are battery-operated and feature a waterproof casing, enabling their use directly in the shower.

— Eyebrow trimmer. A dedicated trimmer designed for refining eyebrow contours. It features an elongated nozzle with a slender blade at the tip as its cutting head. On the opposite side of the blade, there might be an additional comb-like blade with a fixed height. This comb aids in shortening the length of eyebrow hair across the entire area without risking complete removal. Eyebrow trimmers are often equipped with attachments for nose and ear hair care.

— Trimmer for body and eyebrows. Using a body trimmer is practical for removing excess hair on the torso, legs, and arms. These trimmers are often accompanied by attachments for eyebrow, nose, and ear hair care. The body trimmer's cutting head can feature a regular blade or a mesh-covered blade. With the former, hair is cut at the root, leaving stubble behind. Conversely, a combined head (blade + mesh) ensures hair is fully removed, leaving no stubble.

— Set trimmer + electric shaver. The kit includes two separate devices. With the help of a trimmer, you can take care of your beard and mustache. The electric razor is designed for smooth shaving of stubble with small and medium length hair. The use of separate devices has a positive effect on the reliability and durability of the kit.

— Trimmer + razor set. The set contains a full-fledged trimmer and a clipper with classic blades for a smooth shave, with foam application. In advanced sets, the clipper can be used both separately and in tandem with a trimmer. Most often, the razor included in the trimmer kit has a head for replaceable blades.

— Animal clippers. Clippers, which are positioned by the manufacturer as devices for animals. They have solid power, which contributes to comfortable work with thick, coarse hair.

The speed of rotation of the motor of the clipper. The speed of movement of the blades directly depends on this parameter, and the quality of the haircut, in turn, depends on it: the faster the blades move, the faster and more accurately the clipper cuts.

— Mains. The clipper is powered by a 230 V electrical network. The benefit of this power source is the unrestricted operational duration (no need for periodic battery recharging). However, drawbacks include the necessity of an available electrical outlet and the limitation imposed by a power cord, which can impede movement and cause operational inconvenience.

— Battery. The clipper is powered by its own built-in battery. On the one hand, this gives maximum freedom of movement (since there is no power cord) and battery life — such devices can be used even where there is no electrical network. On the other hand, the battery life is limited, it must be constantly recharged — otherwise there is a risk that the charge is exhausted at the most inopportune moment (for example, during the haircut).

— Batteries. The clipper is powered by interchangeable batteries. In terms of its primary pros and cons, this power source resembles battery power (as mentioned earlier). However, in contrast to built-in batteries, replaceable batteries offer less capacity, making them suitable for low-power devices like nose trimmers (see Type) that don't demand prolonged usage. On the positive side, replaceable batteries allow for swift replacement when depleted, whereas a built-in battery would necessitate a lengthier recharging process in such instances.

— Li-Ion. Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries currently dominate the market due to their high energy density, compact size, and light weight. On average, Li-Ion batteries last for approximately 400 charge-discharge cycles. They exhibit minimal self-discharge and lack a prominent "memory effect" (capacity decrease when charging a partially discharged battery). However, these batteries are sensitive to cold temperatures and require precise charging current conditions.

— Li-pol. Lithium-polymer (Li-Pol) batteries maintain stable output voltage even during significant discharge. On average, Li-Pol batteries offer a lifespan of around 800 charge-discharge cycles. These batteries don't exhibit the memory effect and remain stable across a broad temperature range, from -20 to +40 degrees Celsius. Their drawbacks primarily involve vulnerability to deep discharge and overcharging. This highlights the necessity for specialized chargers that employ optimal power delivery methods tailored to the lithium polymer context.

— Ni-Cd. Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries are engineered to handle substantial charge and discharge rates. They can be stored either charged or discharged without issue. These batteries aren't impacted by heat and maintain their capacity in cold conditions. However, the primary drawback is the "memory effect," which emerges when the battery is prematurel...y charged with residual capacity. Despite being outdated, Ni-Cd batteries are occasionally employed in clippers.

— Ni-Mh. Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries excel at managing substantial charge and discharge rates, making them suitable for demanding electric motors and facilitating quick charging. Contemporary Ni-MH batteries offer a prolonged lifespan of up to 1000-1500 charge-discharge cycles, while being environmentally friendly. In comparison to Li-Ion batteries, they appear bulkier and add weight to the device, yet they come at a more affordable cost. This battery type has replaced the previously mentioned nickel-cadmium technology.

— LiCo. Lithium-cobalt (Li-Co) batteries are renowned for their impressive energy storage within a small and lightweight structure. These batteries exhibit minimal self-discharge and lack the "memory effect". They maintain voltage stability almost until complete discharge. However, Li-Co batteries aren't engineered to handle substantial charge and discharge rates.

Time to fully (from 0 to 100%) charge the battery of the clipper. For rare cases of using the model, charging time is not so relevant, but for everyday use it is better to choose fast charging clippers.

— Scissors. The inclusion of a set of scissors with the hair clipper enhances its value, catering to both experienced enthusiasts and professional hairdressers. This bundled option provides a comprehensive haircutting package, and the scissors serve as a valuable tool for addressing finer details that the clipper may not handle alone.

— Comb. Availability in a set of delivery of the clipper of a comb. A comb is one of the most necessary tools for a hairdresser, so when purchasing it together with a typewriter, the user gets rid of the need for a separate purchase.

— Charging stand. The stand serves a dual purpose as a charger and storage unit for the machine. It facilitates convenient recharging during quick intervals between cutting sessions, making it ideal for hairdressers to keep the machine on the stand while using scissors or other tools. Additionally, it can double as an accessory stand (see Stand for accessories).

— Stand for accessories.The stand is designed to store clipper accessories such as detachable nozzles, cleaning brushes, and oilers. Using this dedicated stand reduces the chances of losing any of these accessories. In cordless clippers, this role is frequently fulfilled by the charging stand, which also serves as a storage solution (refer to Charging Stand).

— Case. Cases include all kinds of rigid structures for storing the clipper. Cases in the form of handbags made of thick fabric also fall into this category. In addition to reliable storage of the device, they also elevate the model to the highest class. In low-cost clippers, a much more primitive fabric cover is included in the package.

The length of the cable determines how far the user can move with the device from the outlet. On average, the length of the current-carrying wiring of the clipper / trimmer is about 2 metres. This parameter is relevant only for networked (230 V) and hybrid (network + battery) models.

The weight of the clipper/trimmer is especially important when the device is planned to be used often and for a long time. The less the clipper/trimmer weighs, the less the user's hand will get tired. Of course, there is a direct relationship between the mass of the device and its performance. Powerful clippers/trimmers use a larger and heavier motor. Additionally, the weight of the device increases due to the presence of a battery pack.
