Hair clippers are no longer in short supply or luxury. Such a device is available for hairdressers and for use at home. Using such a device is even possible for those who have never used them in practice.
The Moser 1400 hair clipper is the best-selling brand and model since this device successfully embodied quality, reasonable price and ease of use.
Why should you pay attention to this particular device?
Varieties and features of the Moser 1400
The hair clipper is available in 2 variations:
- a classic that is suitable for home use;
- Edition Edition for professional use.
The difference between one configuration and another is that the Edition is designed with more power, allowing the Moser clipper to service a large flow of customers in the salons, without completely overheating. Even after a long time, the device does not stop working in the set mode, it does not start tearing hair and ruining the haircut. The Edition also provides surge protection, which allows you to not lose power and intensity of work. Another feature of the Moser 1400 professional hair clipper is its weight in the hand, which allows you to firmly hold the device without wobbling.
Edition does not have a battery, so the work is carried out only when connected to the power supply.
The classic Moser is a bit weaker in power than the Edition, and it’s also semi-professional. In basic terms, it is identical to a professional device.
Both the professional and semi-professional machines "Moser 1400" are not much distinguishable from each other. Therefore, for home use can be purchased as a classic, as well as "Edition". The difference between these devices can only be felt when you can confidently use hair clippers.

The packaging is made of thick cardboard, it is convenient to use for storage of the device.

If during unpacking the box there is a shortage of one or more components, then it is likely that you purchased a fake.

Using a typewriter
Before using the device, it is necessary to seat the person whom you plan to cut, so that his head is at the eye level of the master: this will not only be convenient, but you will also see as much as possible all the shortcomings of the formed haircut.
Before starting the process, one of the nozzles must be put on the machine. Nozzles for Moser 1400 are indicated by numbers from 1 to 4, each of which corresponds to the length of the cut hair:
- 1 - 3 mm;
- 2 - 6 mm;
- 3 - 9 mm;
- 4 - 12 mm.
After nozzles, the device must be adjusted to the desired parameters. All of these steps are described in the Moser 1400 instruction manual that came with each kit.
Having made just a few simple manipulations, you can get a beautiful even haircut:
- After fixing the nozzle, it must be positioned with the cutting edge up, starting to cut either from the neck or from the crown. Hold the machine in your hand firmly and confidently, despite a strong vibration. The device must be pressed lightly against the head. It is worth cutting a small amount of hair at a time. The movements are smooth and short. They begin to cut the hair on the back of the head, moving to the temples.
- After that, the device is turned off, the nozzle is removed and it is changed to nozzle 3 or 4. Proceed to shaving the occipital part.
- When the back of the head is evenly trimmed, turn off the machine and change the nozzle to 1 or 2. After that, they switch to the temporal and parotid region. Then change the nozzle to 3 or 4 and begin to shave the crown.
- After that, they proceed to shaving the parietal part of the head. To do this, change the comb by 9 or 12 mm and cut the hair against hair growth, moving from the crown to the crown of the head. Here it is worth considering one point: the hair trimmed by the machine against hair growth will be shorter than the hair cut in the direction of growth.
- In conclusion, alignment and adjustment of hairstyles. Basically, it is necessary to align the neck, temples and parotid region.
A few recommendations for cutting hair with a hair clipper
The following recommendations will be useful to those who use a hair clipper for the first time.
- The hair that you plan to cut with the Moser 1400 should be clean, but most importantly, dry. Wet hair is difficult to align and control their sheared amount.
- In one pass, a small amount of hair needs to be cut with a blade - it will be easier to control the amount of shaved hair, as well as their evenness. If something does not suit you, you can always go back to the previous site and adjust it.
- You must use a comb - it will be easier to identify uneven strands.
- In the first haircut, it is better to cut a short hair length.
- The first few haircuts should be as simple as possible, because you will need to not only learn how to model your hair, but also hold your hand evenly, not succumbing to vibration.
How to store the machine?
The durability of the hair clipper is affected not only by its careful operation and reliable care, but also by proper storage. The latter is as follows:
- After using the device, you must unplug it from the outlet.
- You can store the machine in a box in a dry place, where there is no access for children.
- Do not wrap the device with a cord, as it may break and become unusable.

Reviews on the Moser 1400
Those who prefer to trim and cut their hair at home on their own and have chosen the Moser haircut device respond differently about this device.
Nevertheless, there are more positive reviews for the Moser 1400. Those who liked the device say that thanks to it, they can easily cut their hair or trim it. Moreover, the knives can easily cope with both hard and thick, and with soft and thin hair. No jagged or torn edges remain. Some say that the Moser is suitable for beginners, despite the significant weight.
There are those who are not delighted with the machine. Such users have found more disadvantages than advantages. The first drawback is the heavy weight of the machine, which makes it uncomfortable to use and uncomfortable when held in the hand. Although this drawback loses relevance over time, because you can get used to it. The main negative parameter, buyers revealed that during use, the knives constantly slide off, tear the edges of the hair, making the hairdo uneven. It is possible that this is due to the inexperience of a person in using the Moser 1400 machine. Reviews also talk about another problem - frequent breakdowns. Perhaps this is a manufacturing defect or a fake. But according to some buyers, the Moser 1400 repair is a frequent occurrence.
It is likely that negative reviews are provoked by the fact that buyers purchased a fake that will not serve its owner for long. Therefore, you need to be able to distinguish a low-quality copy from the original device.
According to reviews of the Moser 1400, it can be judged that the person who picked up the machine for the first time feels its weight. At first, it will be inconvenient to use the device because of the weight, vibration from the working device will interfere. But over time, the hand gets used to such a feature.
Are fakes possible and how to distinguish them?
"How to distinguish a fake Moser 1400 from the original?" - This question is very relevant. The Moser company with a long history and declared quality has reached the level where the device is faked by anyone who is not lazy. And in order to get a truly high-quality product, you need to know how the original looks, and how - a miserable copy.
- A fake box is less saturated in color. The inscriptions have a fuzzy rendering.
- Moser inscriptions on the devices themselves are different from each other: on a fake it is executed in bold type, and on the original the lines are thin.
- The copy shift lever is noisier.
- Another difference lies in the inscription on the underside of the knife. An inscription with an obvious error is engraved on the copy: Mode in Germany.
- The knives in the original device are polished to a shine, they are denser and are made with high quality. On a fake, the Moser 1400 knives are simply chrome-plated to give a visual sheen.
- A screw is located on the side of the machine, which will also help to catch a fake. On the original device, the screw rises slightly above the surface of the machine and you can only unscrew it using a special screwdriver. But on a cheap copy, the screw is immersed in the machine body and it is possible to unscrew it with any suitable screwdriver.
- At the end of the Moser 1400 cars there is a release date. The date is stuck with a sticker on the fake, and on the original it is stamped with an indelible stamp.
- Another obvious distinguishing feature that allows you to immediately identify a copy is the color of the cord. The original is black, the copy is gray.
- For a detailed study of the fake and the original machine, you can remove the case. Under it, you can find uneven sections of plastic, which are inherent in a poor-quality device. A factory stamp is stamped on the inside, which in the original is better, crisp and even. In a fake, the opposite is true.
- To the touch, the plastic of the fake is thinner and substandard, while the plastic of the original is beyond doubt.
- The motor device is also different. The first is the quality of the parts. In the copy, they are replaced by cheap and quickly deteriorating. The wire is aluminum, not copper, as in the original device. Secondly, this is the number of parts that are much less in a cheap device than in the original. This is reflected not only in the quality and power of Moser, but also in the duration of its operation. Other wiring to ensure the operation of the device, in a copy laid out randomly, which not only looks unaesthetic, but also unsafe during operation.
- Under the removable knives is a different design of the device.
- The inscription Moser is embossed on the motor of the original device, which is not on the fake motor. This is understandable, because the used parts in the copy are completely different: of dubious quality and from various manufacturers.
You will not have to examine the copy in more detail and the original, since all the differences lie on the surface.
The value of the goods may also signal a fake. The price range of the Moser 1400 is from 2000 to 4000 rubles. All indicators below the minimum level indicate a fake.
