⚖️ Side-by-Side Comparison

	Andis Phenom Corded/Cordless Clipper #562312	BaBylissPRO GoldFX Boost+ FX870GBP
Score	8.8/10	8.8/10
Price	Check current price	Not available right now
Motor	Brushless, 7,000 SPM	Brushless 6,800 RPM
Battery	—	120+ min
Cordless	✓ Yes	✓ Yes
Zero-Gap	—	✓ Yes
Best for	A barber who keeps a clipper for years and wants the parts that wear — blade, housing, grip — to be the parts that come off.	High-volume shops cutting thick or coarse hair all day who need maximum battery and motor power.
Verdict	A brushless clipper built to be worked on rather than replaced. The Phaze blade detaches and adjusts, the housings and grips swap out, and it runs corded or cordless, so a chair that needs it plugged in all day is not a problem. At 7,000 SPM it is a steady cutter rather than the fastest in the catalogue, and the brushless motor is the part that keeps it that way over time.	Same legendary FX870 platform but with the BOOST+ motor upgrade — a brushless motor at 6,800 RPM for more cutting power through thick hair. Gold titanium finish resists corrosion. 120+ min battery and a DLC fade blade.
