I Truly Like Everything About It
By Steve Chappell on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022
It is very satisfying to find a manufacturer who genuinely cares about all aspects of their product. This is my first haircutting kit and I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. To start off with, I am very particular about packaging, and it is evident that Wahl also cares about this. The clipper comes in a sturdy, cleanly branded cardboard box sealed with a Wahl sticker, so you know that it is new. Inside is the well-designed, functional plastic carrying case holding the easy-to-read instructions, the clipper, attachments, cleaning brushes and oil, two combs, and a pair of scissors that work very well. I will continue to keep the clipper and all accessories inside the plastic carrying case that I will put back in the sturdy, rectangular-shaped box after each use to keep everything together and for ease of storage. They advertised this model as being quiet, which is one of the main reasons I selected it. And it is in fact noticeably quiet. I received this product yesterday and we used it today. This was my first ever home haircut and the first time my wife has used a clipper. Its ergonomic design, solid build, and balanced weight clearly prove it is high quality. It was a lot easier to use than either of us thought it would be. And I was very satisfied with the outcome! We errored on the side of caution and decided to use only the #8 attachment and scissors to start with. That is all we needed! Wahl, thank you for taking pride in your products! I highly recommend this Wahl Clipper kit. Extremely high quality at a very reasonable price.

Works, but pros don't outweigh the cons compare to other models.

I purchased this model because I've cut my own hair since 2020 and wanted a model that was better suited for that. I have an older Wahl model that still works fine and what I've used for comparison. I've used it for a few months now. This new model is much lighter, more compact, and easier to handle. But the rest isn't as good, unfortunately. It pulls hair much more, even with oil. It gets VERY hot after a short period. I sometimes have to let it sit and cool when I'm not using a guard to prevent skin contact. The cord is also thicker, heavier, and gets in the way. The rubber texture is a double edged sword in that it makes handling it easier, but the cut hair is harder to remove. All in all, it works well enough and gets the job done. Though if I had known then what I know now, I would've purchased something else or stuck with the older model I already owned. Especially for the price, you're better off getting something cheaper.
