Wahl USA Rechargeable Lithium Ion All in One Beard Trimmer for Males with Element and Ear & Nostril Hair Trimmer Attachment – Mannequin 9854-600B

Great beard, mustache, nose, ear trimmer. Not hair.
I read a lot of the reviews and that helped me make my decision. I’ve had this trimmer a couple of months now, and really love it. I’ll start with the points I did NOT find easily in other reviewsYes, it does a great job trimming the edges of your mustache above the lip, etc. I’ve had all-in-one beard groomers where the trimming attachment did not cut well. Not so with this one. The first time I used it I was instantly showing a lot more lip than I had planned on. In other words, it trims mustaches better than anything I have used before.The other point I was unclear about in other reviews was the usefulness of the nose/ear trimmer attachment. I have owned 2 or 3 of those battery powered rotating types before, and always found them so-so. This trimmer attachment does a much better job than those, and is faster. Just stick it in your ear or nose and you’re done in 2 seconds, whereas the rotary types make you keep doing it for a while before it seems like you’re done. The noise level is not a problem at all for me – it’s noisy but not objectionable in your ear, about the same or less noise level as my rotary trimmer.For beard trimming (I have a goatee that I keep fairly short), it works well but is slightly less convenient than the all-in-one beard groomers I have owned. You have to switch attachments, which is frankly very easy, though not as easy as just dialing in a 3 or 4 on one of those beard groomers. And the attachments are a bit of a pain because you have to either pick, for instance, a 2 or 3 beard trimmer, or else use the 6-position trimmer attachment. That 6-position trimmer attachment is what I use, and it’s fine, though adjusting it’s height requires a little more effort than it should.Battery life is outstanding, and what puts it above everything else. It lasted 2 months of frequent use on its first charge, and I expect it to last for years. Other beard groomers I have owned (both Panasonic) died after a couple of years and had to be plugged in.The attachments in general are a bit of a pain, as everyone else mentions. However, putting them on and off is really easy – not as complicated (at least to me) as others have mentioned. I keep them all in the tray on my countertop and it works fairly well. The tray gets really crowded, so I’ve take some of the attachments I’m never going to use and put them in a drawer. It is nice to have your oil and brush right there whenever you need them – otherwise I would not clean and oil it as often as I should:)For haircutting, I agree with everyone else. This thing is really narrow, even with the wider cutting head attached. It’s about half the width of my corded Wahl trimmer, which is what I’ve been using to cut my hair (and does a great job). Also, the attachments are not long enough for my hair, which normally takes a 4 and a 5 attachment. Not sure if you can buy longer attachments for it or not. I think the best solution is just to spend another 30 bucks on the corded Wahl unit like I did. It’s a beast, seems to actually dim the lights when you turn it on (semi-kidding here but you get the idea).For all around trimming, meaning sideburns and hairline at back of neck, it’s super. The normal attachment does a great job of shaping your hair and cuts super sharp.In sum – it’s outstanding for moustache/ear/nose trimming as well as shaping your beard or hair at the edges. Don’t bother thinking it’s going to be very good for actually cutting your hair.

Powerful with Great Recharge Speed
Got this trimmer about 2 weeks ago, been using it about every other day so far. I needed a new trimmer after my old Wahl crapped out on me, and so far, I really like this trimmer. This definitely seems more powerful than my previous Wahl, allowing me to get an even trim on one pass over any given area. Despite the extra power, I don’t feel like it’s any louder, nor does it create any more uncomfortable vibration while shaving. It’s also quite a bit lighter than my previous trimmer.Although it comes with attachments for cutting the hair on top of your head, I can’t imagine this would really be strong enough for that job. I’m sure it could work…but I wouldn’t want to let someone use it on my head. This is a beard trimmer. Those attachments are just there to boost the “usability value” of this product, not for actual use in my opinion.Despite what I read from another reviewer, I think the deatailer / nose hair attachment works quite well. It’s narrow enough to get in your nose and snip those pesky hairs, so what more do you want from it? Switching between attachments is a breeze, so I’m not sure why some people find issue with that either.The foil shaver is great. I’ve always preferred a rotating head style for electric shavers, as foil shavers tend to pull hair out of your face rather than cut it. Maybe it’s the power from the motor, but this foil shaver does a great job. I don’t feel the tugging I’m used to from other foil shavers and I think it actually gives me a closer shave than my dedicated Norelco electric shaver (not trimmer like this). Still quicker to use the Norelco, but I really do think this foil shaver gets a little closer.So far, I’ve ran this out of power once, but it was intentional. I wanted to check the quick charge function. Sure enough, after only a minute of charging (after it was dead), I was able to run it for between 3-4 minutes. That is a great feature for those days where the battery dies on you before work and you don’t have the time to wait around for it to recharge so you can finish the job. After running it down from the quick charge, I charged it for an hour, since that’s supposedly a full charge. Well, I’ve been using it every other day for a week and a half since and it hasn’t died yet. So, I’m pretty pleased with the overall battery life. But, this brings me to my first issue. It has no light or anything to tell you when it’s fully charged. All I ask for is a little LED or something that lights up or blinks when charged. But, no such luck with this trimmer.My other relatively minor issue is the tray for the attachments. I have no idea how they fit everything in the tray. I don’t even have the haircut attachments in there, since I’m not ever using those, and I still can’t fit everything in it nicely. It’s just a small, cheap, plastic tray that doesn’t serve much purchase. I appreciate the small size considering I keep this in the medicine cabinet, but still…if I can’t really fit the pieces in it, what good is it?Summary: If you want a lightweight, powerful beard trimmer that won’t leave you hanging with half a beard in the morning, this product from Wahl is an awesome buy. If you’re looking to use this north of your ears and eyebrows, look elsewhere.

Quality and battery life
Wahl quality, with a lasting lithium battery. I’m impressed.

Muy buena máquina!

The main problem with the trimmer was that it shipped with an American plug only. I had to buy a US to UK plug converter to charge it. The combs supplied were only good for stubble or bushy beard. Nothing in between. Unit looks great and battery life is awesome.
