Customer Reviews of Wahl 79111-100 Balder 10-Piece Ultra-Close Haircut Kit

Customer Review: Useful item
Summary: 4 Stars

The blade depth of the Wahl Balder by design is short and fixed for close cuts, not adjustable like the Clipper models. It comes with plastic clip-on combs for cutting different lengths. The smallest of these in my box fits loosely and rattles. Overall the Balder works very well and is a good value.

Customer Review: Just a close-up cut
Summary: 2 Stars

If you think you are getting anything but a bald cutter than do not buy this item! The guards don't stand a shot of staying on so trying to give yourself or someone else a cut other than bald in all but impossible!

Customer Review: Thick Hair, No Problem
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm italian. That means that my body hair is of epic proportions. I completely skipped over all of the trimmers that are labled as "body groomers" because my body hair is thicker than most ppl's facial hair.

With that said, I ordered this clipper about a month ago and have used it about 3 times to trim the jungle of hair on my body from my neck down to my toes.

It's a great tool. I was impressed by the quietness and efficiency. It's just a low "humm" sound (probably because it's new). But it didn't skip or jam at all and I only had to pass over each area once for an even cut. The width of the trimmers is the same as a professional's clippers which saves time for each trim. It handled different variations of each type of hair on me without any faltering.

The contours of the handle were an added bonus. They have a rubbery curved grip so it doen't slip and the indents for the thumb and fingers feel as it was designed with some effort of thought. The handle is made out of plastic which makes it a little bit lighter and easy to maneuver.

The first time I used it, I had it on for a long time. I was testing out different clipper lengths and trying to get all the back hair took longer than expected. What was surprising was, for as long as I had it turned on, the metal blades didn't heat up. I touched them as I was packing it away and they were't even warm. It seems like they can run for very long periods without any overheating issues.

The clippers come with a comb, blade brusher, blade cover clip, travel bag, and 3 attatchments. The attatchments are 3/16th in., 1/8th in., and a 1/16th in. These are all VERY SHORT attatchments. It works great for places that you want to cut most of the hair off. But for places that you want just a trim leaving some hair, you'll have to buy bigger clips. They're available on Amazon for only a oouple dollars.
