Wahl
Trips to the hair stylist can really add up. This 24-piece home haircutting kit from Wahl gives the whole family professional-looking haircuts for a fraction of the cost. The powerful, rechargeable clippers are useful for giving crew cuts and maintaining shorter haircuts. The clippers have a high-speed PowerDrive motor, which gives a smoother cut, and an adjustable taper control. However, for the extent of its power, the motor is fairly quiet and lightweight. The clippers' high-carbon steel blades are permanently aligned so you never need to adjust them, and are detachable for thorough cleaning. The clippers come with 11 guide combs that are color coded so you can easily distinguish which length you need. Besides the clippers and guide combs, other accessories in the kit include a barber comb; styling comb; small flattop comb; barber scissors for trimming bangs or stray hairs; three hair clips; a neck duster; a cape; and a blade guard, cleaning brush, and extra oil for the electric clippers. The entire kit fits in a hard plastic storage box. Wahl covers the clippers in this haircutting set under a five-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 NO REGRETS, NEVER LOOKED BACK! July 28, 2010
Iron Man
Although I have owned a couple of Wahl beard and side burn trimmers in the past, this is the first time I have owned a hair clipper from them or any other clipper for that matter. Before making this purchase, I have made careful and thorough research because there are a lot of other trimmers out there to choose from. And for a someone who has not owned a hair clipper before, making an informed decision based on customer reviews seems to be the most concrete way of deciding this purchase. After weighing the pros and cons of the reviews, I finally made up my mind and bought one. And I tell you it has been one of the better purchases I made in my entire life! Going to the barber and spending $13 plus tips almost every month is no easy task for your pocket. And in these tough economic times, anything you can do to make life easier financially should be done. Nowadays, saving money is one of the top priorities for the normal consumer with endearing objectives. Haircuts shouldn't be any different. The money you save from having one every month can go to other endeavors that needs streamlining.
I like the way this clipper is set up: the guide-combs are color-coded, with an instant glance and no fumbling, you can choose your selection. The clipper is contour-designed to fit your hand, thus avoiding awkward positions when making a sweeping action on cutting. Some customers complained about the noise and vibration, I found it quite bearable. In fact the ones that my barber uses are much more noisy and the vibration much greater. The blade can be adjusted with a push/pull of a lever to suit your degree of tapering. It cuts a lot of hair with just one sweep, testament to this clipper's power and the sharpness of the blades. My only hope is that even with a lot of use, with proper care and maintenance, it won't get dull that easily.
The clipper looks and feels durable. The weight is just enough to counter the sweeping action once you start clipping. It also comes with a left/right ear trimming guide comb to buzz through the curving angle action behind your ears and an eye-brow guide-comb to trim those excessive hair in your eye-brows. It also comes with 3 different size hair combs, a scissor, a plastic cape, clips to hold the cape, brush and oil, instruction manual. My Wife and my Mom cuts my hair alternately, and I tell you the first time they used it, they didn't even read the instruction manual and they were able to give me a haircut to my liking. Both of them have no prior experience whatsoever in cutting hair. The first time experience was all they needed (and a little common sense) to get the feel and idea to use this clipper so I would say these clippers are user-friendly too.
The money you will be saving from going to the barber outweighs the price of this clipper, which by the way if you buy them here in Amazon will save you a ton plus no tax and free shipping. It pays for itself already after having just 2 haircuts from the barber! I highly recommend this product!
 I'm taking them back June 30, 2010
Brandi K. Stegman (Chicago)
I wish I would have read the other reviews of this product before I purchased it at Walgreens. After reading the reviews I decided to see for myself how loud the trimmer is and how poor of performance it has; let me tell you that everything every negative reviewer has said here is true.
This trimmer is LOUD.
This trimmer sucks at trimming hair. I have a buzz cut so it's not as though it is that difficult to get through. However, I had to stop trimming my hair several times because the blade kept getting stuck in the guard just from barely pushing the trimmer through.
I'm now looking at some Oster trimmers. My last Wahl trimmer was wonderful but I couldn't find it again in the store.
 Good for about a year, so go for something a little better. June 4, 2010
Armando N. Roman (Hillsboro, OR)
I've been through three of these things in the last 3-4 years, and you'd think I would've learned my lesson after the second clipper died. I think it's the price that gets me, but next time, I'll definitely be spending a little extra for a better shaver. But as it is, this one gets the job done fairly well (until it suddenly stops working after a year). To tell you the truth, I only used the color coded attachments a few times to see how they were, since I shave my head with none of them on and have no need for them since I don't want hair. The attachments broke with an average amount of pressure. If you have thin hair, this shouldn't be a problem, but for people like me with thick, coarse hair, of course you'll be needing to use pressure to get through it. Oddly, there'd be some long hairs in sections that I shaved with these things on, like it somehow missed them. I see that other people experienced the same problem as well.
Since I shave my head without any attachments so the hair is as short as possible, I use the clippers on their own. It actually takes a while to completely shave my head- about 10-15 minutes, which seems pretty long for hair that never goes more than 10 days without being shaved. I usually have to press down pretty hard to make sure it gets the hairs, shaving up and down, and even sideways sometimes. This thing gets hot after a few minutes, so if you buy it, be sure to give it a rest after about 6 minutes of continuous use. And use the brush and oil that come with it to clean it properly, because this thing gets hairs in every possible area. I also don't like how short the cord is, but that'll only matter for people who have electric outlets in odd places.
As for these things dying, yeah, despite me taking good care of these, they all die after about a year. I'll flick the power on, and the clippers move/buzz very slowly. I'll let it go for a few minutes to see if it just needs to warm up, and then instead of going back to regular speed, it flat-out dies. Any time I contact Wahl about their warranty, I never get a response.
For cheap clippers, these are nice, though again, I can't speak much for the color coded attachments since I don't like having hair. But I highly recommend for something a little more expensive, and with more solid reviews. Face it, it's annoying to buy something like this once a year.
Pretty good deal April 18, 2010
R. Yoder
The comments about them being extremely loud are true. I often have to pinch the sides of the clippers (not sure why) to get them back to normal operation. Again, I don't know what causes it or why that helps, but it does. When not in "high gear," though, the clippers work just fine. The color coding is nice, but some of the colors do not really match the color code on the clippers. The general color is there, but most are darker or lighter or a slightly different hue than the color code. That was frustrating at first, but now I've pretty much memorized which colors I use where and do not pay attention to the color code anymore.
The Best Trimmer Set I Have Used April 14, 2010
Logan Alan Derck
I have cut my own hair for the past four years. I've owned two other haircutting sets, and used two others that my roommates owned as well. None of these others had the ease of cutting and options of length quite like this Wahl set has. I never have to worry about the trimmer slowing down during use (as I have thick hair). Also, I really like cutting my hair very short. This set has a 1/8" guard, which is shorter than some other sets I have owned.
If you buzz your head, this set is well worth the money that you will save from paying for haircuts.
