Clipper Excellent. Attachments...Not so much - Review written on December 20, 2007

I've used this clipper at least 30 times, and it still cuts well. I've used the awkward and flimsy trimmer 1/2 time, and it still is awkward and flimsy. Unfortunately after just the 3rd cut the guide comb I use the most became slightly loose, and subsequently vibrates, annoyingly. Wahl has got the important part of making a good clipping machine down, but should perhaps use metal guide combs or include duplicates of the most popular sizes of the cheap plastic combs. I highly recommend Wahl clippers, at least with "Powerdrive", but would suggest you look for the best price amongst the Wahl sets, and not be distracted by the poorly-designed trimmer-gimmick included in this set. If you decide on this one, you're getting a quality clipper; may you have the finesse to operate the trimmer and the luck to get snug guides combs!

OK, we'll admit that we were pretty apprehensive about having my wife start cutting my hair, until good friends told us that the wife had been cutting her husband's hair for years and it was very easy. For approx. $27.00, we figured what the heck..if it worked, we would pay off the kit in just 2 haircuts.And if it didn't work well, it's only hair and will grow back. I never get my hair styled, just cut rather short. This kit works like a dream. Even the first haircut my wife gave me was better then many cuts I've gotten by professionals. It's pretty much mistake proof, just start cutting longer and work back to as short as desired. I've never attempted to cut my own hair, although I don't really see where that would be much of a problem either, just start longer and work back. I highly reccommend this kit. Personally, 23 pieces are too much for me: I could get away with much less accessories. I don't want to put any barbers out of business but they won't be seeing me for a long, long time.
