WahlClipper Rechargeable Cord/Cordless Haircutting & Trimming Kit for Heads, Longer Beards, & All Body Grooming - Model 79434

I've used an earlier model from the same manufacturer with a similar design. My old one was heavier than this and it had no battery system. That unit is still going strong even after over a decade of usage.It was time, I felt, to get a new one. (Also, I found out my father was using it and he's icky, so I let him keep my old one.)This unit is superior to the one I got for 20$ back in 2009.This item is solid and well made. Its clip options leave no need for anything more. If you keep your hair short in some places and longer in others or need help taming facial hair or other places that you let the hedges grow, this is a good item to have in your arsenal. It is easy to keep clean. It is easy to store. The wire feels a bit flimsy but I can already tell this unit will last me and my needs for an easy ten years.The battery in it is a bonus but it does not last as long and when the battery reaches about 10% power your hair will get caught in the blades so just keep it plugged in. I use this unit just like my old one, plugged in. It is strong enough to take care of my thick hair.I can't really express to you how much money I have saved by never going for a haircut since 2009.If you are starting out on cutting other people's hair, this would be a cheap option to get started in that field but I am not sure how long the unit would last if you used it for several hours every single day for years. This unit is made more cheaply than the old one I have that still runs like-new, but again, if this lasts me ten years, I'll be happy.

Highly recommended! Great cut! Self sharpening works great. Have had mine for 3 years with zero issues!

I purchased a Wahl Color Pro Cordless Rechargeable Model 9649P back in 2018 and I loved it but I did have problems with it. A couple of days ago I dropped it on the bathroom floor and that was it. something in the motor broke. So I went back to amazon and was going to buy another Color pro cordless but saw this one for only $5 bucks more.the difference is amazing. for the extra 5 bucks it cuts better, somewhat quieter, and the overall quality and feel of it is great. The blade guards are a much better quality than the ones that came with the color pro. Guys, for the extra 5 bucks go with this. Its totally worth it.Oh, I want to mention something about Wahl clippers. My father joined the army back in WW1 and he was assigned to an army mule corps somewhere down south. It was called a Veterinary corps something or other. One of the other guys that was with him was the man who invented this razor. My father said he would spend all his free time working on the clipper and testing it out on the mules. LOL . They became good friends and I still have a picture of him and my father and a few of the other guys standing on top of saddled horses. Just standing there holding the reins in their uniforms. My father remained friends with him all his life until Mr Wahl passed away. I remember one time I was sitting in our front room watching TV and an old man walked in the door and asked if my father was there. It was Mr Wahl. He was ill at that time so my father went to visit him a few times until he passed away. I can still see him standing there, a thin gray man in a dark gray longcoat. that was long ago. Its good to see some things are still around today.

Ive had these clippers for 2 months now, i cut my own hair and i use them to clip my dogs fur. I really like how easy it is to use and clip on/off different guards. Especially with having my dog, i regularly shave out her pawpads as it mats easy. this is a hard area to shave as theres a lot of folds and i usually end up knicking her once or twice. I started out with the shortest guard (1/2) but even without the guards i dont knick her with the blade. Only issue i have had so far is the blade. and its more of a design issue and user fault. after the last pawpad trim i did on my dog i noticed a lot of hair trapped under the blade. i thought no worries ill just clean it out. i took the blade apart and put it back and it started grinding. i noticed some other reviews that had this issue. it was very loud and wouldnt cut and i was worried the grinding would damage the blades. it was only after watching a disassembly/reassembly video that i realized i missed a step when putting it back together. it doesnt seem like the blade is meant to be put back that way (spring part on the smaller blade overlaps the top of the bigger blade, i had to get a flathead to get the spring to get on there) however after i did that, it worked again!! so i would say that the blade maintenance is a little more intense for someone whos just using this for personal use and isnt a professional but i recommend to actually watch a video on how to clean it before attempting or you might worry you broke your brand new clippers. Assembly of the blade is not the easiest in the world but is is doable. thats the only reason i took a star off. other than that these clippers work great and cut well. i also feel a lot more comfortable using them on my dogs feet than i did with my previous pair

Great product

Exactly what I needed!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great value and works great. I cut my own hair and this has worked well for over 2 years now

This has been a great tool to start doing haircuts at home. Lots of options when it comes to guards and the included scissors and comb really help with the cut. Battery life is great and it is relatively low noise
