Customer Reviews of Wahl 9906-2001 "The Mustache" Cordless/Battery Operated Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Customer Review: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this particular trimmer because I'd had good experiences with Wahl's products in the past, and because I wanted a model that ran on standard AA batteries. But I ended up returning it.
On the plus side ("the good"), it cuts facial hair cleanly and effectively.
On "the bad" side is the cheapness of the three "guide combs" and the razor stand. The stand is so lightweight in comparison to the weight of the trimmer + batteries that I found it pointless to use. And the "guide combs" are made of the cheapest thin and flexible plastic I could imagine them using. They do the job, but are difficult to remove when you need to clean the trimmer, and the awkward way of removing them means you are sure to break them sooner rather than later.
The ugly: the battery compartment. It was a real hassle to install and remove the batteries. What they make you do is wrap a strip of ribbon around each of the three batteries, in a serpentine fashion, as each is installed. The theory is that you should be able to tug on the ribbon and remove each battery in reverse order of their installation.
Let's ignore for now the fact that my trimmer didn't come with a removal ribbon, something I hope was just an isolated problem. When I improvised a replacement ribbon and tried following their directions, I found the batteries to be so tightly and awkwardly stacked inside the compartment that I had trouble putting the battery cover on. Then, when I tried to remove the batteries, the ribbon alone couldn't pull the batteries out as intended. For two of the batteries I had to tug on the ribbon while also prying them out with a lever, and had to use so much force that I gouged the surface of two batteries. To my eye, it looks like they didn't bother designing the case of the trimmer for AA battery use: instead, it looks like they took the case from a rechargeable corded version of the same trimmer and minimally adapted it for consumer-installed batteries.
In short, I give it one star because of the unworkable battery compartment design and the flimsy and hard-to-remove guide combs.
P.S. This could also benefit from a switch to Amazon's "Frustration-Free" packaging...
