Nothing unusual, a normal product.

After 7-10 uses, the batteries ran down, changed to rechargeable ones. Poorly captures hair, used complex trimers from a more expensive segment, the difference is noticeable. Lots of attachments, but I don't really need them. Bought this trimmer to save money but was hoping for a better result because of the brand. At worst, it will come down. I can't say anything about noise because it doesn't bother me.

Cons
  • batteries.

OH! The? Hm? I do not hear you.

At first I thought it was because they are new. I oiled it and removed the lid to have a look. collect back. It's terrible. 1. It hurts to shave without a guard. With a protective cover, he pulls out more hair than he cuts. 2. Super loud cannot be used with your ears without plugging them. I have always used WAHL products (yes, inexpensive) but have always received a decent product that lasts a long time. This goes in the trash. It's been 5 months with this thing and now the batteries are dying

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Expensive

Great deal, great for international travel, if a bit noisy

I bought this battery powered trimmer for a trip to Thailand (I'm from the US). I've had a Wahl 110v corded clipper for years that I use to trim my beard to stubble, but of course I couldn't use them in Thailand and I didn't want to look like a savage after 2.5 weeks there. I bought this and an AA battery charger (which, like most chargers, works with any mains voltage/frequency). I didn't even need a charger; The 2 rechargeable AAs I put in my Wahl Clipper Groomsman trimmer worked several…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Works great - shaving and hair removal

I bought my first unit on March 17th, 2008. That was great. I left him tonight and ended up killing him. I'm glad to see it's still being made. ordered a new one! UPDATE I just got a new one and it's MUCH louder than the old one. So loud it hurts your ears. I have oiled it and hopefully it will settle down otherwise I will have to replace it. Update 2: I have to decline my review. That thing is VERY loud. The first one I had was great but the new model is terrible.

Pros
  • Quality of workmanship
Cons
  • Safety

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…

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • unreliable

Yes it's LOUD - Gentlemen

I also bought this to replace one of those units years ago and I will be returning the unit for two reasons. If it helps, I use it to buzz my head once or twice a week. First, it's LOUD! Yes, everyone else who mentions its loudness is correct. It's really so loud that it's uncomfortable to use. I woke my wife up with it the other day. Second, I just don't think it's a skinny cut and the head seems small so you need to do more passes. The one I had many years ago gave me one of the most accurate

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Long wait

Loud and hyper! It will drive you away!

Why did they make it so loud and over the top? It works like a model airplane motor or a power tool. Sure it cuts great (so I'm giving it 2 stars) but after using this thing I was stressed (around my head and body). I had to replace an old, very good, smooth running unit that eventually broke down and I was too lazy to go back to the bathroom and check the brand. This one looked similar so I figured why not, recognizable brand. When I received this I immediately checked and it was Panasonic, so

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Problems

I have no idea what happened but it's a pretty low quality production.

. The second time I tried to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I tried several sets of fresh batteries and nothing worked. The device just died. I have no idea what happened but this is pretty low end production. Luckily I got my money back.

Pros
  • . Good thing.
Cons
  • . Not as good as they say.

I used this trimmer almost upon arrival because my beard was really out of control. The instruction manual was a bit vague and not entirely clear (no instructions on how to place the trimmer on the blades) but once I figured it out (and also when I saw how to use the different degrees of length) it was very easy to use. I don't think I will ever use attachments because the trimmer itself is basic and more than adequate for my needs. For that alone I can give it the well-deserved five stars…

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Don't Buy Beauty & Personal Care

My wife has been a hairstylist for many years and thinks Wahl Trimmers are the best. I have had a Wahl beard trimmer that has worked great for me for years. So imagine my surprise when this trimmer started pulling and cutting badly no matter what I did. It put me into exploration mode and I didn't stop searching until I knew why. Pay attention to what I've learned. First, go to the Wahl Home Products website. It's on wahlusa.com. Look at all the products and then don't buy any of them. They are

Pros
  • Few Competitors
Cons
  • Annoyed
