Customer Reviews of Wahl 9918-6171 Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Customer Review: not pleased w/battery life, attachments and size
Summary: 2 Stars
i've been using the beard trimmer for about 5 months now. the first 2 months were great - the charge held for about a weeks worth of daily use (i have a short beard) and the performance was great. now i have to keep it plugged in all the time, it doesn't work "cordless" anymore, which is my main complaint.
the attachments for different levels of trimming are also fairly difficult to remove/attach.
i don't like how long it takes to trim my beard each morning, it just doesn't have the power or "surface trim area"
while i don't really have much good to say, i can't say i'm entirely upset with the purchase, i mean for $25 what can you expect?
i'll be going to a corded trimmer next.
Customer Review: Well built trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second mustache/beard trimmer I've owned,the first was a Norelco Maverick T-3000,made of mostly plastic parts,the only metal was the blades,what held the blade assembly to the body was made of plastic and the blade would always pop off the body,poorly made and cost more then this Wahl.The Wahl is made of metal,the blade assembly is attached to the body with screws and is all metal.I've had this razor for a little over 2 months,so I can't comment on the battery life,yet.It feels good in the hand,small and light,but sturdy,not like it's about to fall apart like the Norelco.The attachments slip on and clip tight.Highly recommend this trimmer and this brand,good quality.Wahl Groomsman Beard and Mustache Trimmer - 9918-617Customer Review: You get what you pay for, but at least it's cheap!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought one of these a few years ago. The quality of construction for the base and the trimmer guides is rather questionable, and the unit itself just feels cheap. About two years after I bought it the motor started to struggle, taking several seconds to actually get up to speed despite me pulling the unit apart and cleaning/oiling it lightly. Finally died on me after about three and a half years. The plastic trimmer guides are somewhat fragile; one of them snapped on me just while putting it on, and if you dropped the unit with one of the guides attached I'd doubt it would survive.
Still, for the price it's easily replaceable. Mine served me well enough for a few years and at this price, I'll be picking up another.
Customer Review: Poor for 3 Months then Terrible!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this trimmer about 3 months ago based on the reviews here and the price. It turned out to be one of the worst trimmers I've had. Although it held a charge well, it tended to pull hairs when trimming my beard. I read the instructions and tried everything to get it to trim my hairs without pulling...no such luck. I gave it a try every other week or so hoping it had 'fixed itself' but always ended up using the trimmer on my electric shaver. Yesterday I tried it once more but the charge had gone out of it. I charged it for a couple hours, unplugged it, turned it on, and it went dead in about 3 seconds. I tried charging it again and now it won't even hold the charge for 3 seconds. Very disappointed with this trimmer.Customer Review: So far, it's great!

I got this trimmer for my husband not too long ago. He has very coarse beard/moustache hairs and requires frequent trimming. So far, he is very happy with this trimmer. It holds a charge well, and is a vast improvement over other inexpensive trimmers he has had in the past. It is also very comfortable and easy for him to hold and operate (he is a quadriplegic, so doesn't have a strong grip). He likes the placement of the sliding switch and button, because he can operate it independently even with his limitations. He does wish it were easier to replace into the holder, and also wishes it were a little easier to plug in for recharging. But other than those minor things he is completely satisfied with this model.
