Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased this clipper because I have rather dense facial hair that grows quite rapidly, and I am occasionally not quite as diligent about shaving as I should be. Hence, I can end up with some inconveniently-long growth on my face, beyond what my shaver can effectively remove. I've gone through three less-expensive rechargeable trimmers, it seems that it's always the batteries that go, usually three or four months in. So far I've had this one perhaps three weeks, and it serves my needs very well. It cuts cleanly and quickly, with a minimum of noise and fuss. No heating, excessive vibration, or loud noise. For the money, I'd say it was a very good value indeed. I think I finally ended my cycle of burning out and buying trimmers with this one, I'd definitely recommend it! EDIT: It is now the end of August, 2012. Trimmer is still getting used about once a week, and is still running as well as when it was purchased. Every couple months I put a drop of the supplied oil onto the blades (still have half the original bottle left) and twice now I have pulled the blades off to inspect the slides and clean out any hair inside. Didn't need it either time, but it made me feel like I was doing SOMETHING to keep it running better. Still quite pleased with it, two years in. EDIT: It is now the beginning of April, 2014. Still working great, no sign of slowing down at all. I keep the blades oiled periodically and brush off the hair, and it just keeps working! Couldn't be happier. The "Wahl" gold lettering on the grip is mostly worn off now. EDIT: Now early January, 2016. Clipper is still running just fine, no trouble at all. The little bottle of trimmer oil it came with is long gone, and I'm using the mineral oil I use on my chef's knives to keep it slicked up. Still nice and quiet, running strong!
