Verdict

The Andis Recon brings Vector motor technology to the legendary Andis platform. 4-hour runtime is the longest of any Andis cordless clipper. Phaze blade adjusts without tools. OG comb set included. For barbers who want Andis quality with maximum runtime.

The reVITE does something no other clipper in this catalogue does: it takes both an adjustable blade and a detachable one. That removes the usual choice between a lever clipper for blending and a detachable-blade clipper for bulk, and it is the reason the tool earns a place next to the Master. The rotary motor runs on a ball-bearing drive with rubber mounts and gasketing, which is Andis addressing the vibration its rotary platform is known for. Twelve metal attachment combs ship in the box rather than plastic.
