Wahl WA8481-012

Strong, quiet better than others 4sure – You can immediately say this is a heavy-duty unit, strong, quick, long battery life, relatively quiet. It doesn't heat up as opposed to other rubbish brands. Negatives: the top cap goes loose and wobbly. Also, the adjusting arm is prone to move as the screw doesn't look very stable; you'd expect a better design for this critical feature. My recommendation is to purchase this over cheaper ones if you are looking at hassle-free a product.

Home haircuts – Bought this Wahl 6000 cc cordless hair clipper for home hair cuts during the COVID-19 lock down. Powered by a lithium ion battery which provides good performance. Have owned this unit for almost three months and it has completed five haircuts so far. Feels solid but not heavy. Comfortable to hold and easy to use. Quick to clean and recharge the battery after use. More expensive than some other clippers but seems like a quality unit which should last many years.

Good while it lasts – 2 weeks in was not maintaining consistent power, lowering and increasing power throughout cutting. Poor battery life, charged it all night, but stopped charging too quick, was deemed a manufacturing faultt. Replaced under warranty let's see how the second one goes. Only has combs up to a number 4, feels solid in the hand, switches are firm and easy to flick on and off. Combs easy to clip on and off.
