Wahl 5-Star Series Cordless Detailer

Awesome trimmer, I use it for my face/beard twice a week. The blades are super sharp out of the box and can cause some hair pulling and knicks if you're not super careful, but they wear in after a few uses. I also used the blade oil that came with the unit which helps break it in as well. The trimmer in the hand feels nice and natural although I do wish there were some more grips and texture to hold onto as the smooth metal and plastic can get slippery with the blade oil and natural oil from hands. Battery life is outstanding and it charges super fast as well. The unit feels decently heavy and very durable. Only downside is the price, but I hope that this trimmer lasts a good 10 years. I ordered the corded version of this previously and while it's nicer and smaller, the heavy cord definitely gets in the way so I'll stick with the cordless.

trimmer works great its reliable battery lasts charges fast also light in hand and cuts so sharp when zero gapped works might have to adjust if heavy handed as it could cause irritation on skin but as a barber would buy again overall 10/10

Very nice clippers! They do a really good job!

Expensive, but they work, super sharp and great battery life.

I owned the “Peanut” but I hated plugging it in when I needed it. This is similar. It feels like much better quality (more durable). I just have it charging and use it every morning to trim and line up my beard. Even with this trimmer I still need to shave. It wasn’t as close of a trim as I was led to believe. However, it is still convenient. I have dark hair so maybe it’s just easier to see when I don’t shave. But it does make lining up my beard easier and more convenient. A little pricey for what it is. It’s a bit better than the “peanut” I had. And the size of this feels better in my hand. If you have the money to spare. This is a great upgrade. But if you’re looking for a shaving alternative this probably will not work. (Unless you have lighter thinner hair).

Great right out of the box

Works well, battery life is excellent for quick shaves, last for a few days without charging. Blade is sharp but not offensively sharp.

Beware!! I work at a barbershop and needed to add an extra trimmer to my collection, so I hopped on here and bought this detailer. A few months later it stopped cutting. So I sent it into Whal (since the warranty was still good) and they were not able to repair because the trimmers that were sent to me were counterfeit. I am really upset that I paid $160 bucks for a piece of crap.

I opened the Amazon box and the Wahl trimmer box was well padded against shipping movement. So I was really surprised when I opened the Wahl box and see the trimmer laying backwards in the molded black plastic container which didn’t prevent its movement as intended and made it bounce around loose! Obviously someone had taken it out and did whatever with it and put it back incorrectly! Then I tried to turn it on and it wouldn’t. Lithium Ion batteries have a partial to full charge so someone was using it until it quit, or the battery was defective or the switch is broken! So I am returning it and they are sending a replacement. One of the reviews said how they received a trimmer that had hair in the blades and others receiving obviously used trimmers. So I took a chance and bingo, bad news! One buyer said he should have bought it directly from Wahl. I thought I would take a risk (same price and free shipping also), at least if it is defective, used or whatever, the shipping back and forth would be faster! So here we go! Maybe two times will be a winner?! This review is for the replacement one. I opened the box which was the same size as the first one. When I opened it there was no packaging paper like the first one had which made the Wahl box slide around during shipment. The trimmer did turn on this time and works great. Actually the specially coated blades are sharper than my first uncoated blades on this type of trimmer I got almost 5 years ago. So the second try worked out and now I have to return the defective one. Because of the improvement with the second one, I changed my rating.

This thing deserves 6 stars. It does it all. I haven’t met a hair this thing couldn’t cut.
