Customer Reviews of Wahl 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Customer Review: Easy way to tame heavy, curly facial hair In a variety of lenths.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wahl 9918-617 Beard and Mustache trimmer is as essential tool for anyone planning on letting the facial foliage grow a little wild. It comes equipped with eight different cutting length heads, a beard comb, a travel bag, and very detailed instructions on shaping, care, and usage. The wireless feature is great, I achieved 5 cuts before i had to charge the unit for the first time. It has a great weight and is comfortable to use. It also looks great with is minimalistic, ergonomic shape and brushed stainless steel finish. It is quick and powerful, it makes easy work of a heavy curly beard, yet is supple enough to shape and trim detail areas. The instructions that come with the unit are detailed and cover all the questions I had concerning beard shaping, beard care, and trimmer operation.
I really cannot say anything ill of this piece of mangrooming equipment.
Customer Review: Very Nice Trimmer! Received today...
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received this Wahl trimmer today and am very happy! I bought it after reading many other reviews on Amazon, and many of the good reviews were true. The trimmer has already given me noticeably the nicest trim I've ever had. It trims very fast and smooth, very evenly, and does not catch or pull on any whiskers like some of my other trimmers have. Also, the main adjustable length attachment trims very close on my mustache under my nose, where some others have not.
Some of the critiques that I read are correct also. The trimmer is quite noisy, though I don't mind that too much. Also, the plastic attachments were difficult to use. They didn't attach easily the first time, but I assume that will become much easier with some practice.
So far, I'm very satisfied, especially for the price! Highly recommended!
Customer Review: It's ok for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
From the reviews, I expected a little more from this trimmer. The actual trimmer does seem pretty good, but the attachments are abysmal.
The 3 fixed-length attachments just kinda sit on the blades, held on by little plastic tabs. These attachments are made from flexible plastic, so I worried about them falling off. They don't snap on firmly, which would be satisfying. The adjustable attachment is such a pain to put on. I thought I would break it for sure. Taking it off was the same. Fortunately, I never use that one.
The plastic base and included 'case' are jokes. Also, the AC adapter is huge.
This trimmer is very inexpensive, which is good, but I'd gladly pay a bit more for higher quality attachments and a more portable AC adapter. I suppose I should have shopped around a bit more.
Customer Review: Good trimmer, finicky attachments
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a pretty well built and overall usable trimmer, but the attachments are kind of a pain to use. There are two types it comes with:
1) There are several "fixed length" attachments which are easy to use, but aren't labeled and all look very similar.
2) There is an adjustable attachment which changes between lengths 1-5, but it is a pain to get on the trimmer and I feel like I'm going to break the thing when I change the lengths.
Once you get the desired attachment on, it's smooth sailing. I lost the charger for mine and think I'm going to spend the extra $10 on the Remington MB-300. That model also claims not to need oil on the blades. The Wahl comes with oil to use with it but if you forget to use it you will end up with rusty blades like I did.
Customer Review: Great trimmer terrible attachments
Summary: 3 Stars
The trimmer when considered independently is great. It is solid and does what it is supposed to do. The problems come when considering the attachments. They are poor quality plastic and break easily. Wahl tries to make up for this with excellent customer service. They mailed me new replacements with no questions asked. I'm not sure how this is a good long term business plan, covering over a poor product with great customer service. But that seems to be where they are. So, buy this trimmer, use it for defining lines, trimming the beard and keeping back of the neck clean. And as soon as your product arrives call Wahl customer service and ask for a new set of attachments, because the accessories which were shipped arrived and they are 'just about to break'.
