Customer Reviews of Wahl 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer

Customer Review: Better than expected (Updated)
Summary: 4 Stars

This is my second beard trimmer. I bought a Remington for around $35, a few years back, and I was disappointed the moment I took it out of the package. Since I'd never owned a beard trimmer before, I didn't really know what to expect, but to put it simply, the Remington was a vibrating piece of plastic (update: I believe Wahl makes a plastic version of this exact trimmer, but I didn't realize this at the time of my review.) It wasn't the least expensive trimmer on the shelf, but it had a lot of fancy details and seemed like a good bargain to a newbie like me. It would be difficult for me to list the good things about the Remington, because there were so few and they were far outnumbered by the bad. There wasn't much I could do with the Remington, but I made use of the few things I could do with it, until the battery started to die and I decided that I wanted a trimmer that could give me a stubble look (it was pretty much impossible to do this with the Remington, even without the attachment, because the blades were just so bad.)

So I started by reading reviews on trimmers and found that the Wahl brand seemed to meet my expectations of quality, features and price better than the rest. Although I'd planned to buy a more expensive model, I finally picked this one up on the cheap and I couldn't be anymore satisfied. Upon opening the package, it was obvious that the Wahl trimmer was much higher quality than the Remington I had been using, despite being ~$15 less. Unlike the cheap, plastic Remington, the Wahl is made out of metal with rubber grips. I don't know how to explain the blades, but they're very clearly much better too and the contrast in how they cut is like night and day.

Like every trimmer I've ever used, the attachments leave a lot to be desired. As noted by others, they are plastic, but I've never seen anything else with a trimmer. They are also a little difficult to put on, and even though they leave a lot to be desired with their performance, they're still better than the ones that came with my Remington.

I'm basically thrilled with my purchase, having found the Wahl to be of higher quality than I'd expected. I will say that despite all the reviews touting Wahl as an American company that makes it's trimmers in the States, my trimmer says made in China on it. Regardless, I expect to own this trimmer for a long, long time and I'd just like to thank Wahl for making such an excellent product at a time when most manufacturers don't seem the least bit interested in making quality products. This all goes without mentioning the incredible price, which was much less than what I paid for the considerably inferior Remington trimmer. So thank you Wahl!

Update: After using this for a few days, I've come to realize that I was a little too enthusiastic with my original review. The trimmer, itself, is a good quality product at a low price. The attachments, on the other hand, leave a little to be desired; enough so that I'm returning mine. Specifically, the stubble guide doesn't cut close enough, and like with every trimmer I've ever used, removing the guide doesn't cut at a consistent level, which apparently bothers me more than some. The longer attachments probably work fine for how they're intended to work, so if you're just looking for an inexpensive, simple trimmer with no extra attachments, then this would be a great choice. I'm still very impressed with the quality of Wahl products, though, and I'll be looking to see what else they have to offer soon.

Description of Wahl 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer

Wahl Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer featuring Rechargeable Cord or Cordless Operations with LED and Acculock 6-position Trim Guide.
For daily beard maintenance or for making a big change to facial hair, Wahl?s Groomsman trimmer is the device you need. The Groomsman?s high-carbon steel blades are precision-ground to provide a close cut and stay sharp longer. A six-position beard regulator easily attaches to the trimmer?s head to provide consistent and safe tapering and trimming of beards and mustaches. The six positions range from a height that tackles longer hairs, (for example, if you are shaving off your beard) all the way down to a short height for trimming daily stubble. For convenience, the beard regulator remembers the last set length height until you change it.

For additional comfort during shaving, the Groomsman has a contoured ergonomic handle with soft gripping pads for a secure grasp. The Groomsman operates either plugged in via its electric charger, or runs on its long-lasting nickel-cadmium battery which is estimated to last three to five years before needing replacement. The trimmer and charger are small enough to stash in the included pouch for travel along with the accessories--the beard regulator, the jaw line blender, two close-trim attachments, a mustache comb, cleaning oil, and a cleaning brush. A storage stand holds the trimmer and all accompanying accoutrements in your regular trimming location. Wahl?s Groomsman trimmer is covered by a two-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde


The Wahl Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer offers a durable brushed chrome housing and precision-ground steel blades for consistent, precise trimming. Made from hardened high-carbon steel, the self-sharpening blades stay sharp for years. Plus, you can operate the Wahl Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer with or without a cord--it can be powered by the rechargeable battery or plugged into an outlet with its charger for direct power.

It All Starts with the Blades
Wahl Trimmers feature self-sharpening blades whose teeth are individually ground, rather than stamped, to stay sharper longer. They are made from durable, high-carbon hardened steel, rather than stainless steel, to hold the tooth edge longer. The proprietary manufacturing process used to make the blades eliminates the frustrations with the pulling or snagging of dull blades.

Durable Housing and Ergonomic Design
With the contoured, brushed chrome handle, the Beard and Mustache trimmer lets you can avoid awkward angles and uncomfortable positions. The durable finish keeps the trimmer looking and performing great. The soft-touch, gripping pads on the front and bottom provide a secure grip with every trim.

Operates With or Without a Rechargeable Battery for Convenience
The dual-power function of the Beard and Mustache Trimmer allows you to plug it into the electric charger or use it with the rechargeable battery. Perfect for traveling, the long-lasting, rechargeable battery allows you to use the trimmer while on the road without the need to plug it in. With periodic charging, the battery is estimated to last up to five years before requiring replacement.

Adjustable Beard Trimmer and Individual Guides for a Custom Trim
A convenient, six-position beard guide can be attached to the trimmer's head to provide a custom, consistent cut. The positions range from a 1/2-inch long-hair-trimming to 1/8-inch for fine-trimming suitable for daily stubble. For added convenience, the beard guide remembers the last set position so you don't have to adjust it each time. For those who prefer individual guides, it has them too. Three individual guide combs provide three options: a full look, a medium beard, and that few-days-growth look with the exclusive stubble guide.

Your Choice of Storage
The storage stand conveniently doubles as a chsarger and keeps all of the accessories organized and easily accessible for when you need them. And the travel pouch is roomy enough to accommodate all of the accessories when you're on the go.

The Wahl Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer is backed by a limited three-year warranty.
