It is a bad product that I can not even used on the first time to cut hair.

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.

I bought this product to cut hair and on the cover was " Quiet But Powerful". Yeah and I have a peice of moon property to sell you...

I should have suspected from the inferior casing and badly packed pieces just thrown in at random with no contoured or individual spaces.

This thing is LOUD, VIBRATES worse than a badly packed washing machine and needs 4 or 5 passes to cut hair! It leaves your wrist sore from the vibration and ears numb from the noise.

If you handle chain saws then this is for you, if you want something quiet, friendly that doesn't scare your child then look elsewhere... I know I am.

What a piece of junk!

I just got this kit to cut my almost 2-year-old son's hair. For the price, if I use it twice it has more than paid for itself v. going to the children's hair salon (my husband's barber won't do children's hair). I've only used it once but the one I got is really quiet and doesn't seem to pull at all. The cord is a pretty decent length as well. My son doesn't mind me using it on him, I let him pretend to play Daddy's X-Box while I'm doing it to get him to be kind of still. There is a printed guide with photos that shows you how to cut hair. I need practice, but at least right now all of his little friends don't talk enough yet to be able to make fun of him! They seem to be of good quality and I think once I get the hang of cutting hair they will work very well.

Nice piece, I used it on my son's hair, and I found some additional accessories I didn't expect to get, the over the ear piece is a great addition.
The last one I bought lasted 12 years and is still going strong, just a little dull.
