Bought to replace a cheaper Wahl clipper with a failed switch and poor battery life. Good quality. Li-ion battery holds its charge very well and lasts a long time between charges. Very positive on-off switch. Comb stays firmly attached. Only negative is the charger, which for some reason uses very heavy gauge cable, which makes it a bit clunky. Overall, very happy.
I have already used it several times, and it has been proven to be very efficient and versatile for making haircuts. The only drawback is that if you live in an EU country, you need to buy a UK-EU adapter to charge it.
For the last 3 years since I lost most of my hair (Ok, 10 years) I have been using a beard trimmer to cut my hair and then getting a closer cut by using a Phillips little electric One blade thingy for 2 months and then going to the barbers on the 3rd month to make it look nice and even instead of somewhat crappy & clumpy.
This is a game changer, strangely enough. I can now cut my hair to one length all over and it looks good and there are no clumps like a sheep shearer had a go at me head.
Fabulous.
Great product. Supplied with a great range of tools & attachments. Simple to use. I’ve always been sceptical of the cordless clippers since one set stopped working halfway through a cut, but these have the option of leaving the cord attached, so that’s a bonus in my eyes!
Hopefully these will give me years of short cuts.
I bought this as I was fed up spending 25 every month getting someone to cut my hair. Plus I’m very busy and didn’t have time or money to get this done as often as I needed as my hair grows very quickly. Now I can give myself a weekly trim in 5-10 minutes
All parts included are useful although a guide on how to cut the hair would have been great, as I have struggled doing the back of my head/neck.
Actual razor is good, I was abit weary getting a razor that needed oiling but this is easy enough.
Only downside I would say is that even on the lowest setting it does not cut the hair as thin as I would like, but maybe I am being picky
Since lock down wife has been cutting my hair. Initially with corded clippers, but upgraded to these. I had seen them reviewed on Channel 5s Gadget Show. They got a really good review there. They cut well and seem a quality bit of kit, only problem with haircuts is wife never ever asks if I’m going anywhere nice on holiday.
This item is perfect and ergonomically designed. no cord is a great advantage. You pay for what you get.
A comprehensive set of guards is supplied for various hair lengths.
Already have a 30 head shaver which came with nose hair remover but that would get blocked and probably only good for beard trimming but I should have stayed with wahl as this set cuts with ease, I’m so glad I got these
I’ve just used this for the first time and I’m really impressed. I’m not a hairdresser and only cut my husband’s hair, but for a novice I found this so easy to use. It’s very quiet and easy to clean. Would highly recommend i
Very powerful motor and battery lasts ages. Doesn’t get clogged up on thick hair. Getting rid of the power cord is a game changer because you can maneuvere into the best natural light for trimming and even trim outdoors if needed.
I bought this to replace previous rechargeable clippers, it’s normally the battery that lets these type of clippers down in comparison to mains powered clippers as they slow down and power drops off quicker over time, but so far these Wahl clippers seem fine. Also a nice weight and shape, they don’t feel cheap and flimsy, nice weight and ergonomic design feels good to use.
Have been a fan of Wahl hair clippers for years; their quality blades always providing me with a snag and therefore pain free trim. My old corded ones are still going strong in a pals stables (yes, really) as I wanted to go cordless for even more freedom. These have the same heavy, quality feel to the corded ones. I’ve yet to use up a full battery charge and suspect it’ll be a while before I need to charge but will update here if needed. Overall, I’m really impressed. Battery powered trimmers can sometimes be weaker than corded, but definitely not here. Highly recommended.
The selection of attachments is nice and the clipper-heads feel robust and not likely to snap and break easily which is a huge bonus, the hair clippers are efficient and don’t generate much heat at all even after 40 minutes going over my large melon to make sure i got every little last hair trimmed accordingly.
The charging indicator light is nice to prevent overcharging, the bag provided to store the clippers and everything in is very handy so you don’t lose bits and bobs.
For 50 i’m very happy with the purchase, being able to taper your own hair and trim it by yourself is a huge bonus over other hair clippers like my 10 year old phillips clippers, I’d highly recommend this hair clipper set to anyone, it’s a great gift or upgrade/replacement for worn or old clippers, I recommend you purchase a bottle of wahl hair clipper oil as the provided oil sample will run out quickly and you can buy it as a combo with the set for a few quid more.
10/10 clippers, very good solid purchase, no regrets.
These clippers are a good buy, and are great for home use. They are very light and easy to use with a good choice of cutting attachments. I can’t comment on the battery life as I’ve had not had them long enough.
These clippers give an excellent cut with no snagging. The build quality is very good.
The attachment system is top notch. I’ve had clippers where the length attachments threatened to fall off, but this system is rock solid. The system also allowed me to buy a set of longer attachments from a different company. I use 32, 18, and 9mm lengths, and the after market company designed an excellent product to Wahl’s specs.
I hope Wahl retains this click-on mount as it allows flexibility.
The only negative I have is a minor one. The unit sits a little too smoothly in the hand and has some weight to it, so it has the tendency to shift around because there’s no grip.
I may stick some rubber pads on the sides to add a bit of resistance.
