Wahl Lithium Ion Trimmer Kit

Good set of clippers. Lots of attachments for different options to trim my beard. Works well and charges quick.

This is my third Wahl rechargeable. Each has been better than the one before.On checking my purchase history, I see that this one has lasted 11 years. I can’t complain about durability or anything else I can think of.It’s a pleasure to get good value in a purchase these days. I’m thinking about this as I shop to replace a 32 year old refrigerator. Consumer Reports says that the average lifespan for a new refrigerator is just 10 years and the ice maker breaks after just 5 years. See what I mean about value?I recommend this trimmer to anyone looking for good value in a well made product.Now, back to that refrigerator….

I've been very satisfied with the more expensive and stainless steel version of this trimmer that I've used for a few years now, until the plastic button on the unit disintegrated suddenly one day. Plastic will do that, I have discovered over the years: it is fine until suddenly it reaches an age where its structural integrity is suddenly lost and it literally crumbles to pieces. I've seen it happen with an old set of ski boots that crumbled to pieces when pulled out for the first time in a few years (that was something to behold!) I've experienced it with a pair of running shoes that I kept in the closet too long, the soles literally turning to powder as I took my first steps. I'm familiar with this phenomenon, but it always makes me a little angry when it happens. Especially when the rest of whatever the plastic thing is attached to is perfectly fine. Anyway, the old Wahl has a plastic switch and it crumbled.Faced with spending twenty vs eighty dollars to replace the old one, I went with this version as a trial. It's fine so far. The cutting head is narrower and the attachments from the other one don't fit this one, but it came with its own, so no big deal. I don't like the lightweight, cheap feel of it, but for a quarter to a third the price, I can live with it. The technical stats say the battery on this one loses its charge quicker, but I haven't noticed that yet. I still like the stainless steel version better. Thus the rating.

I have had these before over the past 20 years. Does great job on trimming my goatee and mustache. The only negative so far is my attachments from my previous trimmers don't fit this new model. I like move to using USB to charge the trimmer vs the old bricks. The new attachments work fine . I haven't tried the ear or nose attachments. I don't know how well the battery holds charge. I do wish they had added a charge light to indicate when it is fully charged.

An excellent trimmer, as far as how it cuts. BUT - this is a throw away piece, one in which Wahl did not intend the user to ever be able to change the battery! They seem to expect one to simply throw it away when the battery goes bad and buy another trimmer from them!! But, if you're a technically oriented person, the battery is available from Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Cylindrical-Rechargeable-Batteries-Philips-Electric/dp/B00ML5K2OG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1422152997&sr=1-1&keywords=3.7+volt+aa+battery+with+solder+tabs%27Or, search the web for, 3.7 Volt Li-Ion battery, size 14500 (or AA) with solder tabs. It's available from most all battery dealers. The rubber skin covering the plastic case can be pealed back from the head to the tail, to remove it. Doing so will turn it inside out. When the work is done, it can be turned back right side out and pulled back over the body into place with a bit of effort. But, if you don't care about having a rubber grip, you might as well simply slice it off with a razor blade & forget about reusing it - your choice. Then, the case is easily pried open, using a small screwdriver. One will need circuit board repair & soldering skills to un-solder the old battery from the circuit board & to install the replacement battery, and minimal mechanical skills in order to reassemble the unit. If you're willing to do all of this, then it's a great trimmer! The only other issue I've had with it is the small trimming head began to work a bit intermittently, so I ordered a replacement from Wahl with no difficulties and at a reasonable price. However, Wahl has revealed itself to be a very consumer & environmentally unfriendly company with this design, as most folks will simply send a good piece of machinery, & a used up Li-Ion battery along with it, to their local landfill, simply because it needs a new battery!! I openly gave it 5 stars in hopes that more folks will see the review, but it really only deserves 2 or 3!

Works well. Didn't include a charging adaptor.

I wanted to like this trimmer, but it's just not up to par. I love that you can interchange the different head attachments and the battery lasts for quit a while. However, the cutting quality of the blade attachment is terrible. It constantly rips the hairs out instead of cutting them, making for an uncomfortable trimming experience. Of course the blade attachment was my primary reason for purchasing so it's basically useless. I just don't think the cutting speed is on par with the older models and that's why it's pulling instead of cutting. Will go back and purchase the same older model Wahl (Model 9918-6171V) that i had, as that worked flawlessly.

Got this trimmer about 2 weeks ago, been using it about every other day so far. I needed a new trimmer after my old Wahl crapped out on me, and so far, I really like this trimmer. This definitely seems more powerful than my previous Wahl, allowing me to get an even trim on one pass over any given area. Despite the extra power, I don't feel like it's any louder, nor does it create any more uncomfortable vibration while shaving. It's also quite a bit lighter than my previous trimmer.Although it comes with attachments for cutting the hair on top of your head, I can't imagine this would really be strong enough for that job. I'm sure it could work...but I wouldn't want to let someone use it on my head. This is a beard trimmer. Those attachments are just there to boost the "usability value" of this product, not for actual use in my opinion.Despite what I read from another reviewer, I think the deatailer / nose hair attachment works quite well. It's narrow enough to get in your nose and snip those pesky hairs, so what more do you want from it? Switching between attachments is a breeze, so I'm not sure why some people find issue with that either.The foil shaver is great. I've always preferred a rotating head style for electric shavers, as foil shavers tend to pull hair out of your face rather than cut it. Maybe it's the power from the motor, but this foil shaver does a great job. I don't feel the tugging I'm used to from other foil shavers and I think it actually gives me a closer shave than my dedicated Norelco electric shaver (not trimmer like this). Still quicker to use the Norelco, but I really do think this foil shaver gets a little closer.So far, I've ran this out of power once, but it was intentional. I wanted to check the quick charge function. Sure enough, after only a minute of charging (after it was dead), I was able to run it for between 3-4 minutes. That is a great feature for those days where the battery dies on you before work and you don't have the time to wait around for it to recharge so you can finish the job. After running it down from the quick charge, I charged it for an hour, since that's supposedly a full charge. Well, I've been using it every other day for a week and a half since and it hasn't died yet. So, I'm pretty pleased with the overall battery life. But, this brings me to my first issue. It has no light or anything to tell you when it's fully charged. All I ask for is a little LED or something that lights up or blinks when charged. But, no such luck with this trimmer.My other relatively minor issue is the tray for the attachments. I have no idea how they fit everything in the tray. I don't even have the haircut attachments in there, since I'm not ever using those, and I still can't fit everything in it nicely. It's just a small, cheap, plastic tray that doesn't serve much purchase. I appreciate the small size considering I keep this in the medicine cabinet, but still...if I can't really fit the pieces in it, what good is it?Summary: If you want a lightweight, powerful beard trimmer that won't leave you hanging with half a beard in the morning, this product from Wahl is an awesome buy. If you're looking to use this north of your ears and eyebrows, look elsewhere.

Used once and Item did not charge on first charging and unable to returnIs there any warranty?

I used this product and it's great. The shave is close and nice. The shaver feels solid in your hand and not cheap.The delivery and service was excellent!

Justo lo que esperaba, fue un upgrade, mi última wahl me duro cerca de 8 años, cuando la pila dio de si busqué una similar, esta es mucho mejor, más opciones. El rasurado al ras es similar al de la navaja libre, y la barba de tres días queda excelente

The main problem with the trimmer was that it shipped with an American plug only. I had to buy a US to UK plug converter to charge it. The combs supplied were only good for stubble or bushy beard. Nothing in between. Unit looks great and battery life is awesome.

Muy buena máquina!
