Customer Reviews of Wahl 79524-500 Chrome Pro 24-Piece Complete Haircut KitCustomer Review: Good enough for the price, but not the best Summary: 3 Stars
Considering I've had better, I'm less than satisfied with the Wahl 79524-500 Chrome Pro. My previous clippers were the Wahl Designer Pro 8355-400, which worked great for about seven years and the blades stayed sharp. The only reason I replaced them is because the motor finally died.
The Wahl 79524-500 Chrome Pro is adequate for the price, but if you want better quality and can afford the extra $15 or $20, I suggest buying the Designer Pro model instead. I use the clippers to shave my entire head, so if you only need them for trimming the edges or if your hair is thin, the Chrome Pro should be good enough.
Here's a comparison of the two models:
Wahl 79524-500 Chrome Pro
1. Without the setscrew on the bottom plate, blade alignment is fixed and straight
2. It is not likely to cause any nicks
3. It gets the job done but takes more passes than it should to get all the hairs
4. The on/off switch is easy to operate by thumb
5. More ergonomically shaped and the soft grip is nice
6. The smoother contours make it easier to clean
7. Lighter and quieter than my old model
Wahl Designer Pro 8355-400
1. The blades are more adjustable with a setscrews on the bottom plate, so it cuts closer
2. It takes a steady hand to set the blades straight and it's possible set them to cut TOO close, in which case it can nick the skin
3. Cuts more efficiently (i.e., gets more hairs in a single pass)
4. The on/off switch is inordinately difficult to operate with one hand
5. The design is basic and not the most ergonomic, but still easy enough to handle
6. Assembled of more parts and fewer smooth contours, cleaning can take more time
7. Quite noisy and a bit heavier than my new model
Both models have the handy "multi-cut" lever on the side to adjust the depth of cut, and each comes with a 5-year warranty. The Chrome Pro came with 23 accessories for which I have no use and would rather not have paid for, but it seems all clippers in this price range are only sold in "kits," so buying the spare combs and guards is unavoidable.
Finally, I would not consider buying any model cheaper than the Chrome Pro for concern that the quality might be less acceptable.
