Customer Reviews of Wahl 9243-517N HomePro 22-Piece Complete Haircut KitCustomer Review: Works, But is Not Very Powerful Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, so the Wahl brand is a good one in my mind, so I thought for sure I was safe purchasing this haircut kit even though it was the cheapest I could find on Amazon. Well, apparently Wahl makes cheap China quality stuff too.
I first opened the thing up and tried to give myself a haircut one night around 11:30 PM. Sure enough everything I needed was in there, full selection of guards and trimmer attachments etc. It also came with full color directions on how to cut your own hair which was nice. Great. I prepared to let some hair fly.
I have thick hair to begin with, but I figured I'd start a little longer than I usually need and then trim down from there. I started with a No. 5 trimmer attachment. Well, long - VERY long - story short, I didn't actually finish the haircut until well after 1 AM. Granted, I'm more of a hair-cutting novice than anybody, but the fact is these here clippers are as weak as snot. They jammed literally every 3 seconds of cutting. Oh, and I ended up with a No. 7 length haircut simply because it would NOT cut my hair with the No. 5.
About halfway through I realized that there had to be something wrong and I scoured the owners manual for a troubleshooting guide. It said you can actually turn up the clipper's power with the adjustment screw on the side. So, after ruining the little plastic screwdriver they sent in the kit to no avail, I got a real screwdriver and adjusted the power. Ok, it was a lot better (I could actually CUT the hair), but it still jammed probably every 15 seconds. I would stop, knock out the little remnants of hair in the clippers, sometimes take the plate off, blow on it, put it back together and most of the time it worked. Sometimes it didn't and I would have to insert various heated insults into the process.
The kit was cheap enough that it would be too much trouble to send back so here's a lesson for me: cut your hair once a week so it only needs the faintest of trims. Lesson for you: don't buy this if you have thick hair. If your hair is wispy thin you probably won't have a problem, but otherwise steer clear and get something with a little more quality.
