Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight and trims without tugging Disadvantages: cutting edges can become a little warm after a while
a month to help hide my baldness, but as I had previously used Wahl hair trimming products I decided to bite the bullet, so to speak, and invest in what I hoped would last for quite some time.
That was nearly a year ago now and the yucky browny purple coloured hair trimmers are still going strong.
This trimmer itself is great for shaving my head, plus, what I really found was a boon about it was it that it is brilliant for the finer details around the edges, such as side burns and the back of my neck, maybe even them tramlines as well, (although I don?t have any tram lines in what?s left of my hair).
The electric cable is of a good length so you?re not stuck to that plug socket near the floor, forcing you to kneel down in a dodgy position until you?ve finished the job in hand.
The three cutting guides are a good quality rigid plastic ...
I run a dog grooming parlour, so feel qualified to post on this subject.
I found Wahl clippers to be nicely small, but very heavy. Design is poor - to hold comfortably, your had covers the ventilation slots. This means you either suffer hand ache or rapidly heating blades. Add to that the fact that the attachable combs (flimsy, flexible things) will fall off the unit at the slightest hint of a knot, and you have a recipe for burnt skin on your dog.
They come with a tiny tube of blade lube - covered in warnings to keep away from the skin. Also with a woefully inadequate little brush to flick hair out of the blades. This shouldnt happen in a clipper. To my mind its a fire hazard for a start.
The clipper is a nice compact size, however, its weight ruins this one plus. Vibration was truly awful, and I have found many dogs ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Wahl Clipper
Advantages: Powerful, Sturdy Clippers at a Good Price Disadvantages: Quite Heavy but not too bad.
I recently bought the Wahl Super Taper hair clipper from Saloneasy.com for £33.99 (the cheapest I could find)and was extremely impressed with the power of the cut. I usually buy retail clippers from argos, but these professional clippers are far superior, and are only slightly more expensive!
According to the box, they have a powerful V5000 professional motor (im not quite sure what that means!), which is more than suitable for home cutting. It come with attachment combs number 1 - 4, and a long cable which is perfect for me as I do like to shave my own head into the kitchen sink.
I would highly recommend these clippers to anyone wanting a pair for home use, as they are designed for professional barbers so you know you are getting a high quality product at little extra expense! ...
