Product Review
Trips to the hair stylist can really add up. This 14-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 rotary motor for a smoother cut; however, for the extent of its power, the motor is fairly quiet and lightweight. The clipper blades are permanently aligned so you never need to adjust them, and are detachable for thorough cleaning. The clippers come with two adjustable guide combs that offer a total of 14 different hair lengths ranging from 1/8 to 1-3/4 inches. A sliding thumb-operated switch on the clippers lets you easily adjust the combs to the proper height. The clippers operate either with their cord or cordless for up to 40 minutes before needing recharging. Besides the charger, other accessories in the kit include a barber comb, a small flattop comb, barber scissors for trimming bangs or stray hairs, three hair clips, a cape, 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 two-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Reader Reviews
I bought the clipper because it had two features most important to me: (1) cordless operation; (2) adjustable-length comb attachments to eliminate the need to constantly change comb attachments. I used the clipper right out of the box without charging the battery (I used it with the cord attached). I found the motor was extremely weak, stalled every few seconds (requring me to turn the clipper off/on repeatedly), and the clipper pulled my kid's hair out painfully. Perhaps I should have charged up the clipper's battery fully before using it, but according to its manual, it is supposed to work as a corded clipper with the cord attached when the battery is depleted. The clipper comes with two adjustable-length comb attachments - one for short hair lengths and one for long lengths. The short comb attachment seems OK, while the long comb attachment is poorly designed - hair gets trapped easily and builds up in the comb, I had to constantly shake or blow on the comb to get the hair out. Overall, I'm very disappointed with this Wahl clipper. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
