✓ PROS & ✗ CONS
ANDIS ZEPHYR QUIET CORDLESS CLIPPER #564618
- ✓Andis builds it around what it calls an ultra-quiet rotary motor, to support lower-stimulation services
- ✓Two speeds, 3,500 and 5,500 SPM
- ✓Ten attachment combs from 1/16" to 1"
- ✓At 9.3 oz it is among the lightest clippers in the catalogue
- ✓USB-C charging with a station charge stand, two-year warranty
- ✗5,500 SPM at the top speed sits below the heavy-bulk clippers here
- ✗A specialised second clipper rather than a replacement for a primary one
- ✗Andis publishes no decibel figure, so the quietness cannot be compared on numbers

- ✓F32 Fadeout blade is designed for fade and blend work
- ✓Up to 150 minutes of cordless runtime
