Why did I waste so much time and money on rechargeable trimmers from big box stores over the years? This thing is simple and works great. Batteries last a lot longer than I expected. It uses alkaline AA batteries so I never have to wait for it to charge. Just swap and go.

Why I Need This: I've been shaving with Norelco electric razors for years. And while I like the way they shave, their built-in pop-up trimmer leaves something to be desired. I don't have a beard. But I do have a mustache and sideburns that need to be trimmed. It's not that that Norelco's pop-up trimmer doesn't work. But in order to get the desired results, I have to keep going over the same area multiple times. I thought to myself, if only I could find an inexpensive trimmer that would do the job quickly and easily. Tada! Wahl to the rescue! The Performance: All I can say is wow. For fifteen bucks this little trimmer is amazing. I was all set to buy something a lot more expensive. I'm glad I didn't. First of all, I don't need or want a trimmer for hair in my nose and ears (I prefer scissors and tweezers for that). Secondly, I have no use for a dozen different attachments to trim the hair on my head (my barber would kill me). And thirdly, I'm not the sort of guy who likes to manscape my manly parts, or even think of shaving off my treasure trail (look it up if I lost you). The Cutting Mechanism: Surprisingly for the money, the blade mechanism on this trimmer is not a flimsy piece of stamped metal. The base plate is thick, and it's "precision ground" per Wahl. I believe it. And unlike the crappy trimmer on my Norelco razor, this trimmer contains a lot of closely spaced teeth. The end result is that I can set the length of my sideburns and trim my mustache in about 1/3 the time. Power Requirements: This trimmer does not work or come with a cord. Nor does it have a built-in rechargeable battery. Nor does it come with any batteries at all. It uses two (2) AA batteries that you'll have to supply yourself. You can power it using regular alkaline batteries. But I already have a battery charger and a bunch of rechargeable AA batteries, so that's what I use. Warranty: The warranty on this trimmer is three years. But considering the cheap price, it may not even be worth the cost of postage to return it to Wahl if it quits working. Maintenance: This trimmer is not waterproof. Don't use it in the shower, or use water to clean it. Use the included brush to brush away unwanted hairs in the cutting mechanism. Wahl includes a little bottle of oil. You're supposed to apply a few drops to the cutting mechanism every month. Country of Origin: Unlike some Wahl products that were made in the USA, this trimmer was made in Vietnam. Closing Comments: It's inexpensive, and it works very well for my needs. I didn't mention it earlier, but the shape of this trimmer is easy to hold. I'm very pleased with this product.

This product was to be used outside of US. So all those trimmers with 110v chargers were out of contention. Now the problem is that nowhere does Wahl mentions the input rating for it's trimmers. I called up their office and after a couple of tries and a voice message later a lady called me back. She put me on hold and went out searching for the information. Finally it turned out that the Wahl trimmers sold in US can only be used within US, unless of course you wish to buy a bulky step down converter. How thoughtful Wahl! Don't people in US travel out of the country? Why can't your chargers be made to operate within a range of voltage like the laptops and so many other electrical and electronic equipments do? Thus the available choices reduced to a few battery operated ones only. And this one appeared to be the most promising from the various reviews on the Net. So I went ahead and ordered one on Amazon. It arrived well in time and was well packed. About the product, I think it is pretty good by itself. Here are my observations, What you will like *************** -- Pretty ergonomic in terms of the grip. -- Sound is not as loud as some people say it is. Most trimmers and electric razors make similar or even higher noise in my opinion. -- It does not grasp a tuft of hair or pulls on it the way some people said it does. In fact it works pretty smooth. Ensure though to have dry beard when you run this trimmer. -- Comes with different guides which makes it easy to find the one right for you. What you will not like ******************* -- It looks to me like the trimmer head is not made out of stainless steel. If you get it wet you may even have orange rust marks on it. My one seems to have come with one such blemish and it refuses to go away. -- The guides are made out of pretty flimsy plastic. At least twice they fell off from the trimmer while in use because they do not grip the trimmer head very securely. -- The base/stand is pretty useless in my opinion. It has lots of cuts and crevices but many can't fit in any of the attachments provided in the pack. You will still be left with some attachments for which there is no space in the base. -- The manual, if you can call that multiple folded pamphlet so, is pretty flimsy. A clear documentation on the usage of the equipment and the attachments is required but is sorely missing in the pack. So there are no major deal breakers as such. All in all I will say it is a pretty nifty little device that comes cheap and works well once you get a hang of it.

I FINALLY(!) got that "bastar* blister-pack open! (More on that later). I was SO excited I grabbed the "TALLEST" ATTACHMENT, thinking "THIS IS the SAFEST" because it will keep the BLADES 'FURTHEST' from my 'new beard' and moustache. ~ wrong. What I didn't know is; THAT >"ONE ATTACHMENT"< actually has "FIVE Settings"! Position "ONE" brings the blades "CLOSEST" to the skin! Mine was set to "1" so in seconds my moustache WAS indeed "trimmed and uniform', BUT it was also HALF the length of my beard! Three days later my moustache is just starting to fill-in again. This handsome Trimmer has a WONDERFUL and POWERFUL feel to it. It also offers REAL 'PRECISION' with no dangling cord to distract you. It is perfect for moustache trims above your lips. I must add that RIGID "blister pack amor" is outrageous. I finally opened the damned blister pack off using my 'best' shears and that took at least 10 minutes. ~ It was truly overkill@! Now my best heavy duty shears have a wabble and will never be the same... so expect a battle. I strongly recommend tin snips instead.

This a great trimmer. It is more powerful than my other trimmer. Takes care of my beard and mustache. Works great.

Great product

تم استلام المنتج كما هو معروض تعمل بالبطارية عدد ٢ عيبها صوتها عالي جدا لدرجة مزعجة مما اضطرني اشتري غيرها

Muy buena calidad lo que esperaba de la marca

Excellent delivery service and superb product .....

以前に購入したものを、誤って水没させてしまったので購入。以前は髭やもみあげ処理だけじゃなく、鼻毛カットやらシェーバー機能やら盛りだくさんだったが、こちらは至ってシンプル。でも自分の必要な機能はこれで十分でした。 リチウム電池内臓じゃなく、乾電池や充電池で動く仕様になったのは良い点。お値段も手頃で買いやすいのも良い。
