Worst choice trimmer we've ever had!

We've been using Wahl's for years and even have one for the dog. This beard trimmer is 100% junk and I'm so pissed I probably should have waited until I'm cool to write a review but. I trimmed my husband's sideburns for years. He likes them so-so and couldn't find a barber who could do my job (only sideburns!) We just threw away our Mini Wahl - it lasted 6 years and was amazing! I went for the cordless/rechargeable and found this to be a good price thinking it would be a typical excellent choice product. NOT CORRECT. I used it for the first time tonight and it's awful! I had to go over and over in a small area to trim all of his hair - we're talking a few days of stubble as we trim his sideburns at least every 4-5 days to keep them looking fresh. After running the same area a million times, we gave up. More hair was plucked from the awful mechanism of the blades than I could cut with the trimmer. In the morning he goes to the hairdresser to clean up the mess until we get to the store to buy a new trimmer but it becomes no choice. I don't care that it was "only" $12, it's my money I work hard for and expect everything to work as advertised. The trimmer ends up in the garbage where it belongs.

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • unreliable
