WAHL
Our History
The foundations for Wahl began when Leo J. Wahl invented the first vibrating electromagnetic motor in Sterling, Illinois. This led to the creation of the first vibrating medical massager, which was sold to barbershops, where Leo recognised the need to develop and improve barber tools.
Since Leo J. Wahl filed his patent for the first electric hair clipper in 1919, Wahl have remained at the forefront of the industry, with over 98% of Barbers now using Wahl.

The main advantage of these clippers is that they are very quiet to use. Your hair is next to your ears, and other brands that are battery powered are noisy as hell and make you slightly deaf and induce anxiety, in contrast these have a relaxing hum. Your arms get a workout while you’re using these (if you’re cutting
your own hair). Obvously buy a bigger comb separately if you want longer hair and as with many that can cut long, the hair needs to be pushed into the blades. You might need two mirrors and a hair cape which doesn’t come with this.
Had loads of cordless ones, which are typically flat when i need them or go flat half way through trimming.
Kept it simple with a corded one which is fast and easy. Great se
Been using it for nearly a dozen of times now. Easy to use, blades are sharp and easy to clean.
Comes with everything you need really, would be better if comes with a 5mm rather than 6mm, as it shows quite a difference when using the 3mm after you shave with the 6mm one, so it takes a bit more care to making the hair looks smooth.
Its also quite heavy, i guess this is because most parts are metal rather than others are plastic.
Guys I only purchased this machine in December 2021, I’ve only used it 4 times and now in May 2022 the side leaver that you can change up an down for changing clipper sizes e.g. 1 to 1 and a half has already gone faulty, it automatically drops when I leave it up. The clipper itself stops randomly whilst plugged in to the socket whilst cutting. Honestly don’t waste your money like I did, Wahl really going down hill and im very upset I made a loss without much usage.
Am a woman who likes short but feminine hair. Used this with a separately bought number 12 attachment (also on Amazon) to remove a year of lockdown hair.
Am very pleased with the result – so much so, will use this instead of visiting hairdresser.
It was easy to use, but you need to be patient to be sure you have covered and cut all your hair to the desired length.
I asked help with making sure the back was ok, and cut over the ears with hairdressing scissors.
Not sure how easy it would be to get faded effects without help from another person.
In honesty, would not claim to have produced professional standard results, but think it would not be difficult to do so with help.
Great gadget, which does my hair and beard a treat.
The only reason I did not give this a five star status, was that at one point the clippers TUGGED at my hair.
I didn’t expect the gadget to be oiled DURING the first use, but this was the case.
The best thing to do therefore, is to oil AFTER EVERY USE. That way you have a remarkable trimmer, which COULD last you a lifetime!

On paper, these new Wahl clippers are far superior, but they just don’t seem to give a consistent close cut either without an attachment or with the No.1 attachment for example (I haven’t tried any other attachment). They’re a nice weight and shape to control to trim your own facial hair or head and I keep the blades well lubed and balanced, but they just simply do not cut as well. I frequently have to go over the same area multiple times which without an attachment can cause a bit of irritation, and/or use a second set of trimmers on the back of a shaver to tackle bits these clippers miss every time. They seem to be very good quality but they’re just not as good as my older Nicky Clarke’s. I just needed a reliable set of clippers to buzz cut my own head every few weeks and I also use them to shave with without an attachment fitted and these clippers just aren’t making the cut (pun intended). Once upon a time if I wasn’t cleanly shaved before reporting for duty I would have been disciplined, these days I prefer a close trim/shave but not absolutely clean shaven as with a razor or shaver. It’s not me struggling to adjust to the new from the old either as I’ve now had these Wahl clippers a few months and wanted to really use them properly before I reviewed them so I could comment on any pros and cons honestly. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll quickly and easily remove long hair/whiskers from head or face, it’s just the finish and close consistency that repeatedly lets them down unfortunately.
I still have the Nicky Clarke’s and at this rate I may look into getting the blades sharpened on the original set and maybe give these away as I just can’t get on with them for consistency with a really close cut. I thought a pair of clippers were a pair of clippers lol, obviously not.
Otherwise, they came well packaged in decent retail packaging and not that I’ll ever use most of the accompanying accessories, but they came with a utility vest, various attachments for length of cut, hair clips, cape, left, right and standard combs, a flat top comb and 3 or 4 different brushes/dusters. It also stated they were supplied with a hard case and a DVD, but despite mine definitely being the “Pro” set, mine just have a soft polyester roll that everything tucks into, not a case. Can’t say I was gutted at not receiving the DVD either :o).. My Nicky Clarke set had a hard case, so I simply swapped some pieces around and keep the new one in the original hard case and kept the rest as a backup.
Can’t rate at 5 stars as they’re just not that good, although happy to rate at 4 stars for the price, all the included extras and that they cut the worst off. Would recommend in general, but also add that you may want or need a separate smaller set of clippers to pick up the close in bits these seem to miss.
Having previously only owned cheap clippers I decided to go up in price and buy something slightly better. Heard good things from Wahl so gave these a go.
If you’re going from a cheap pair you’ll instantly see/feel the difference, they feel like a professional pair.
You get plenty of different size attachments, even curved ones for the ears, along with scissors as well a little brush. All comes in a hard case to store everything
3 years on and im having slight issues with the cutters – having to use a screwdriver to tighten and sometimes loosen the cutting range — but its not a massive issue to be hones
Can’t comment on longevity just yet — only had for a few months now. So far works perfectly. The attachments are more useful than I expected, (combs and hair clips) and are also of good quality. It feels heavy in the hand, like it should, and the metal construction makes me feel confident in it’s quality. As for its operation, it is seamless, regardless of hair building up behind the blades. If you don’t know what you’re doing, I don’t recommend unscrewing the metal plate, (I tried to clean it inside and found it harder than expected to put back perfectly – not too hard but it was unnecessary). This has already paid for itself, and will save me a lot of money in the long run. If you have a simple hairstyle, its worth trying to do it yourself. Each time I cut my own hair its slightly easier than before. The oil included lasts longer than I expected too, I bought a huge bottle and it will take years and years to get through, so wait to buy more oil!
The clippers themselves are very sturdy and powerful. They easily cut through fairly long hair at grade 1. They’re fairly easy to use to. Just pop on the guard length you want to use, click the switch on the side on you’re away.
It comes with various bits and bobs like scissors, combs and a brush. All seem to be of a decent quality but you may want to invest in better quality versions in the long run. It also includes a small bottle of oil with instructions on how to use it (it’s very easy).
All in all I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s certainly going to save me a lot of cash in the long run. Even better – no more awkward conversations with a barber!
So I thought I would try this- a little apprehensive I admit, but I am glad I did.
As others have reported, it comes with a wealth of accessories- the ‘combs’ you attach to the blade for the grade of cut, a pointless DVD, an actual comb and some pretty good hairdressing scissors. There is also a plastic cape.
Cutting the hair is actually very easy and it makes a very neat and smart job.
It is basically as simple as putting on the desired comb length by clicking it over the blade (I find number 4 gives a smart short haircut without it being too short) and then switching on and running it all over the hair. You cannot go wrong and cut more out than intended. The comb prevents this. All you have to do is make sure you run it over against the hair growth direction until all the hair is cut down to the preset length. If you miss a bit, just go over it again.
Trust me I am no Vidal Sasoon, but everyone says it looks smart when I have finished. Any idiot could do it- no skill required whatsoever.
As well as the standard comb attachments, there are some graduated ones for cutting in above the ears, but I once tried using one of them and I could tell it was going to go wrong so quickly stopped. I find with a grade 4, all that is required is a little trim above the ears and the back of the neck with the scissors to cut off any longer strands and straighten up.
When you finish use the little brush to brush the hair off the clipper and a few drops of oil (both also included)to ensure is is A Okay to go the next time you get it out.
So, in summary if it sounds like you or your loved ones would like a grade 5 downward cut, want to save money (paid for itself in 3 cuts), can’t be bothered going to the hairdressers and want to save time, get one of these.
I can also attest that you can do the same job on yourself, no problems- all you need is a facing mirror and a handheld mirror to make sure you have not missed any bits at the back.
The clippers seem well made, and are quite heavy and substantial. It has not pulled the hair when I have been cutting and I did not have to adjust the blades.
What can you say about wahl appart from being reliable and very good on price aswell!
This kit is ideal for most folk to have in cupboard it comes in a decent box and has the essentials!
The clipper works brilliantly “dont forget to clean and oil after every use and it will work forever” it has all the blade lengths and a few combs and scissors ok the accesseries are not hairdresser standard but the wahl is brilliant!
No doubt you can up the quality and price of them as they go to around 60 for the rolls royce of them but i would say a proper hairdresser would go for them i stick to the lower midrange on these as they are just as good but you dont cry if you drop them in the sink or one of the inlaws breaks them and doesnt tell you because they dont want to coff up for new set!!!! but as i have said before keep them clean and a little touch of oil and they will be as faithful as little lap dog!!!
hope this helps
