Wahl Groomsman Battery Operated Facial Hair Trimmer for Beard Mustache Trimming Including Light Detailing and Body Grooming Model

Trimmer works very well and has held up for a couple years now. Blades are sharp and remain sharp. Attachments that are included are sufficient for any general trim. Average noise level, as with any trimmer. For the price of under twenty bucks?, excellent purchase. One thing; buy and keep on hand a 12 or 24 pack of AA batteries. Electric motors require a good deal of power to run for an extended period of time needed for a trim. Use is 3-4 times a week, keeping a close and neat cut. Clean trimmer after each use and oil after 20-25 trims and it should last for a long time. Mine has. Read more

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. Read more

Build quality not the best but the blades are exceptional. Trims my beard and body hair with ease. Plenty of accessories. Reasonably good value considering the price. Read more

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. Read more

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

I don't love these at all. First, they're *extremely* loud. Like, comically, disproportionately loud. Like an electric sander, not a compact beard trimmer. I was not expecting that from these. Second, the width of the blade head is wider than the body of the trimmer, so the rectangular edges stick out. This is good for lining up edges, but not for grooming softer, sensitive skin. For that, you need rounded edges you can hold at awkward angles without fear of getting nicked. To further that point, these only trim if you hold them in an upward direction, like a shovel. You can't really turn it around and use them to pull down, in a scraping motion. They won't work in that direction. If you're trimming in, um, awkward directions, you won't get the safe precision you need. These are great (but loud) trimmers for tidying up beards and hair. But I wouldn't use these for any other grooming. I thought they'd be good for that because they're compact, but, naw. Last, the packaging is annoying. It doesn't affect the product. But it's unnecessarily tamper-proof. You're either going to break your scissors trying to cut them out of the hard plastic, or use a box cutter to slash it and awkwardly break them out that way. Overall, I wish I could return them but it's too late. Read more

I like to save the packaging in case I need to return the Item... However this item packaging must be totally destroyed to open. Perhaps they can make a video on how to open the plastic wrapper. Easily installed two of my own AA batteries. I tried to see if I could straight trim my moustache with the Trimer. Quick Perfect line. You may wake someone sleeping. But the price is so reasonable it certainly a small price to pay. I have had Wahl products for years. They always been loud and perfect. I needed one with batteries for travel. Battery shavers with trimmers just don't work. Wahl products last for years. For the price I would buy again even though I know itis a chore getting it out of the package. Read more
