Review on πŸ’‡ Wahl Professional 5-Star G-Whiz High Precision Cordless Hair Trimmer #8986 – Perfect Portable Trimmer for Barbers and Stylists by Amber Chandler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rust within 48 hours

I have used the five star little black G-Whiz twice in 48 hours. I rinsed the blades with tap water. The next morning there was rust on the blades. Revain gave me a full refund as I bought it directly from them. End of the story. Choice customer service, I want to buy your products and I liked them, but now I have to ask which of your products do not have this problem. I just want a cordless trimmer that won't rust. As a seller and business owner it really doesn't make commercial sense to sell something with metal inside that is guaranteed to rust once it hits the water because people will turn their backs and get a refund. It has the benefit of being easier to work with and resulting in higher quality blades, but having an easily oxidized metal in a product that gets washed frequently isn't really an option. I'm willing to buy Wahl trimmers again, but I need advice on which models don't have fundamental design flaws. I spend money, just tell me what really works. PS Trimmer works fine otherwise. Perhaps a little underpowered in terms of power delivery, but not a hair puller. Pretty loud, but who cares? Just lubricate properly. It's smaller than the Remington MB4900, but the blade width is almost the same. It's light and very small, so I think if you have huge human hands it might not offer the best ergonomics. I actually prefer non-permanent batteries, that was a plus for me. The trimmer heads cannot be removed for cleaning. I don't think the case is very waterproof (aside from the obvious rusting of the blade) so be careful when using it in the shower.
