I've returned this as it's comp broken within single use.
Not worty for this price range
Lo que no me agradó es que las únicas piezas de toda la máquina que son de metal son la cabeza de corte y el accesorio para la nariz/orejas, todo lo demás es de plástico y me da la impresión que no resistiría una caída. La versiones más antiguas de Wahl son más sólidas. La pieza es un poco grande para manos pequeñas y no es delgada. El instructivo dice que para reemplazar las baterías recargables que incluye y que le dan autonomía deben ser reemplazadas en la fábrica de Wahl lo mismo que los demas desperfectos en USA. Desconozco si existen talleres locales que la reparen.
En general vale la pena por el precio a pagar pero tengo mis reservas si durará por muchos años tal y como dice el instructivo incluído pero por otro lado, la mayoría de máquinas en el mercado son similares o por lo menos para el futuro esa es la tendencia.
It’s like holding a chainsaw in your hand. You don’t need such motor power for a beard trimmer.
Got my trimmer & lots of parts so I sorted them out. Took out #1 & #2 combs also the adjustable & safety cover. After trying a #3 I decided 1 & 2 were where I needed to be. Being very careful how I changed these different things on the trimmer became easy. I did find that the adjustable comb didn’t lock in as well as it should & needs a stronger spring.
But being a machinist & toolmaker for 43 years I have to say I’m very impressed with the fit of the attachments & also the price
These negative & low responses just just show you didn’t take the time to figure things out & broke things
I would recommend this trimmer & oh yea great vacuum
As instructed by the manual, I fully charged the trimmer first before using it. While it was charging, I read the user manuals. Some of the pictures in the manual are of low quality, but I was able to understand the basics without any problems. The manual is for several different models, so, some of the accessories pictured and described in the manual are not present in the package.
Once the trimmer was fully charged, I attached a comb with the appropriate length to it, and started using it. The trimmer is somewhat loud because of the vacuum motor. However, the trimmer is quite sharp and cuts hair smoothly and evenly. The vacuum was quite effective and collected most of the hair clippings. There was a little bit of spillage, but I figured out that most of the spillage happened after the vacuum receptacle was completely filled with hair, and there was no room for any more hair there. I then emptied the receptacle before continuing to use the product, and the vacuum worked well again.
The trimmer is quite light, but the size is somewhat bulky. This can make it difficult to hold it and/or manipulate it for someone with small hands. Also, the vacuum outlets are located such that your hands tend to fully or partially cover them when holding the trimmer. That did not seem to affect the effectiveness of the vacuum though.
After trimming the overall length of hair, you can remove the comb attachment and use the trimmer blades to shape the outline of your beard or scalp in fine detail. I use the trimmer on my scalp, and I was able to use the combless trimmer on my neck and around my ears to clear away excess hair.
Cleanup was also very easy. In most cases, there is no cleanup required for the area where you used the trimmer because the vacuum works quite well. The vacuum chamber is easy to clean up and empty out. The trimmer comes with a stiff brush that can be used to clean the vacuum chamber as well as the cutting blade and comb.
Unfortunately, the trimmer is not waterproof, so it can't be cleaned under the tap. But you can clean the combs and the cleaning brush under running water after you are done using the trimmer. Because of the ease of use and maintenance, you can easily use this trimmer every day or every couple of days.
The battery is quite powerful, and can last several trimming sessions before needing to be recharged. There is no danger of overcharging the battery, so you can also charge it after every use just to be sure that there is always enough juice left for the next trim. The trimmer can also be used while charging, though the cord makes its use more inconvenient that way.
Overall, this trimmer provides very good value for the money. I was more interested in the trimming than in the vacuum feature initially, but after seeing how well the vacuum works, and how much more convenient it makes the use of the trimmer, I can't imagine going back to a trimmer without such a feature. Based on my experience with the trimmer so far, I would definitely recommend it to anybody who needs a hair trimmer.
Update on 2/15/2020: This trimmer has become a white elephant. The trimmer head is held in place by cheap plastic tabs and one of them broke off for no reason except that it is cheap and of very poor quality. I have not even removed the head from the trimmer, so it should not have been stressed by removal and reattachment, etc. Now the head wobbles and does not deliver a clean trim any more. Sometimes, it pops out of the trimmer entirely. Please see attached photos for the broken tabs of the trimming head.
Anyways, I contact Wahl by email about it, and after more than a week, no response whatsoever. Not even an acknowledgement that they received my email. This company DOES NOT PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS or STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. This one is past the return window, so I can't do anything about it, but I will not buy any other Wahl products ever again.
I purchased this razor to replace my aging Remington shaver/trimmer, and overall, I can say I am disappointed.
PROS:
-Good battery life
-Easy to use
-Comes in a nice fabric zipper case
-Feels solid in your hand
CONS:
-Despite the vacuum, no matter the angle I trim at, nor the length of my facial hair, this product fails to collect a large amount of the hair & leaves a mess in the sink, as well as on my hand & neck. There is a considerable amount of hair collected in the vacuum chamber, but I would say it is about half of the total hair removed that ends up in the chamber. This was the primary reason for my interest in this product, & thus, in terms of the vacuum to prevent a messy sink, I give this 0 out of 5.
-Impossible to get a close shave. Make no mistake, this is a trimmer, not a razor. If you want a shave closer than a 5 o'clock shadow, you will need to supplement with an additional device (not sure if attachments are sold separately that can rise to this challenge). I did not understand this at the time of purchase & would not have purchased it had that been conveyed clearly. Close shave: 0 out of 5.
-Pulls painfully at hair. Regardless of whether I use the provided plastic guards or just the metal trimmer head alone, the device pinches & pulls my facial hair painfully nearly every time I use it. I have closely examined the trimmer to ensure that the guard and blade piece are seated properly & that neither are damaged. I cannot find an explanation that would excuse the pain. Comfortable shave: 1 out of 5.
-The provided plastic guards are too long to be effective at trimming mustache hair. Therefore, I must remove the guard & trim freehand with just the trimmer head (no guard) to trim my mustache hair down in length. Anything other than an edge-up on my upper lip must be done freehand. Mustache trimming: 0 out of 5.
-I almost always need to follow up with a pair of scissors after using this trimmer on my beard, as it fails to provide a smooth, even cut across my cheeks & chin. There are almost always stray hairs that avoided the blade poking out, which need to be clipped.
I gave this trimmer 2 stars overall, because I guess it gets the job done (sort of), although not efficiently, and could be worse. However, with other similar trimmers available on Amazon, in good faith, I cannot recommend this product, & encourage potential buyers to explore other options.
Pros:
1) Sharp blades with bigger gaps between the blades. As result, this trimmer cuts much faster than any other trimmer I've used in the past.
2) the battery will last for a while on a single charge.
Cons:
1) Once the battery charges to 100%, the trimmer stops working. I have to leave it off the charger for a while (usually overnight) before it begins working again. I reached out to Wahl, they won't respond.
2) the vacuum function sucks (not in the good way). I would guess it catches at most 50% of the hair clippings. (Remington seems closer to 80-90%)
3) the clips on the heads feel VERY cheap and easy to break. I've seen a lot of people say the same thing, so I've been very careful with them. I've not broken any yet, but I've only changed them a few times over the course of 3 months or so.
4) the heads are difficult to get on but SUPER easy to get off. So much so, they come off accidently when removing guards, but sometimes take several minutes to get back on.
I highly recommend the Remington VPG6530 over the Wahl version of the vacuum trimmer. I just couldn't find the Remington vacuum trimmer in stock when I needed a replacement. So I gambled on this one. I wouldn't buy this product again. Low quality, poor overall function, non-existant customer service.
Also, beyond the flimsy design, the cons outweigh the pros anyway: the vacuum feature is basically a gimmick: sure, half your hair will go in the vacuum... but half won't. The clean up process is less about how much hair falls on the sink, but rather where on the sink it fell. This doesn't change the latter part of that, where it fell, so cleanup takes just as much effort and time despite half the hair. My old trimmer could work wet, a feature I found really lacking in this one. I also wanted a trimmer that could work while plugged in if the battery was low, which this doesn't. The battery life was good, but that is really the only nice thing I have to say about this awful product.
Another negative is sometimes the hair clumps in the collection bin and is hard to shake out through the tapered opening. It’s not a big issue.
The positive: the clippers themselves are great and do a really good job. They cut evenly and consistently as you would expect from Wahl clippers.
Also, the bag is very handy and very presentable. Very lovely to carry too. Also there are many blade guards in the package and thus many options for different hair trimming levels which I find interesting. Though I feel the price is a little bit on the high side, I am convinced that the durability and long life span will make up for it. It’s easy to charge too as it charges very fast.
The blade is sharp, the action is quick, the vacuum is better than the 20 yr old model.
The balance is good while moving about the face and head.
Update: Have been using about 5 weeks now. I haven't put a towel over the sink, vacuum is working great.
UPDATE January 15th 2021: Still happy with this trimmer. Use it 2 or 3 times a week instead of shaving still. Staying isolated for the virus and wearing masks to town. Don't have to shave, the mask covers any short stubble. Vacuum still works great. When I clean out the plastic collector. Just blow out trimmings so I don't open it. My thinking is it will last longer and hinge won't break.
