Customer Reviews of Wahl 5545-506 Dual Head Wet/Dry Personal Trimmer
Customer Review: Trims poorly; battery cover pops off
Summary: 2 Stars
Unlike a number of other Wahl-brand products that I have used over the years, I was disappointed by this trimmer. Specifically,
(a) The trimmer does not cut hair very close to the skin -- about 1/8" of hair is left, so instead of looking "clean" when you are done, trimmed areas look "fuzzy".
(b) The battery compartment cover is on the underside of the handle. Using one hand, when the switch is pushed forward to the "on" position, the battery cover pops off in the opposite direction. This is the only personal care product that I have ever owned that automatically disassembles itself when it is turned on. (However, by holding the handle with one hand and sliding the switch with the other hand, this can be avoided -- but that should not be necessary if the product was properly engineered and manufactured.)
Based on my experience with this trimmer, I do NOT recommend it.
(I purchased this trimmer to replace a very old "Lewis N Clark" AA-battery operated trimmer. Unfortunately, this trimmer is no longer being sold.)
Customer Review: It all depends
Summary: 4 Stars
Before I bought this item I looked at most of the reviews and was struck by the great differences of opinion over what is, after all, the same little appliance. It seems to me that much of the divergence of opinion is due to differences in expectations of the purchasers. If you have used these things before, you know that they are slow. You cannot see the nose hairs and have to wave the cutter head around in your nose for a while to get the job done. With experience, you will learn where most of the nose hairs are hiding and will be better able to target them.
Also, the cutter is next to worthless for removing ear hairs that grow along to rim of the ear. Use a razor. The same is true of sideburns. To me the appliance does its primary job as well as anything does.
Customer Review: Cheaply Made, Didn't Last, Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
WARNING. Before you purchase this look at the other reviews of Wahl 5560 as well to better inform yourself. I purchased this product because of the Wahl name. I own their plug-in electric hair groomer and it is powerful and well made. Unfortunately, this nose trimmer is not of the same quality. It is cheaply made foreign junk with the Wahl name stamped on it. The cutter actually did a decent job, for a week or two. Then started having trouble with the little motor, wouldn't turn or cut. I took it apart and the motor looks like a cheap motor from a toy in a happy meal. Waste of money. I am suspicious of all these hyper positive reviews and unhappy i've wasted money on a cheap product. I was very disappointed. Caveat emptor. osCustomer Review: I'm Happy - It Does the Job for Me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed one of these, read the reviews and ordered it. It was delivered promptly, very reasonably priced and it does the job. The packaging was difficult to open, and the battery cover does come off if you're not careful when you turn it on, but I'm very happy with the results after having used it three times now.
I recommend purchasing this trimmer if you're in need of one. It fits comfortably in my hand, isn't heavy, is easy to clean and it cuts the hairs. As someone else suggested, a quick in-and-out movement chops the nose hairs cleanly and closely, with no skin irritation. I've also used this to trim a few long eyebrows. I find it much safer than using small scissors near my eyes.
Customer Review: Terrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
Wahl 5545-506 Dual Head Wet/Dry Personal Trimmer I found this product absolutely useless! Even after careful insertions and re-inserions, it inevitably cut next to nothing at all. I had to resort to using my old trimmers to get the job done. Do yourself a favor - DON'T buy this piece of junk! I've since purchased the Norelco NT9110 - it's quiet, powerful enough and does a great job of cutting those wiry nose hairs quite closely. In fairness to Wahl, I do own some other good Wahl trimmers, but this is definitely NOT one of them. Trust me on this, gentlemen - it's terrible!
