Wahl hair trimmer. No nonsense hair trimmer. Made in the US. Corded so don't have to worry about batteries failing. Been using it every couple of weeks for probably close to 15 years and only recently replaced it with another Wahl trimmer. Got my money's worth out of the first one many times over and would highly recommend it. I expect the new one to last a similar amount of time.
I got mine about 19 years ago and it still works great. TBF I don't use it as often as I used to.
I got my when I was in the military to save money on hair cuts, and I only recently had to replace it.
Bought the first on in '96.
Have only paid for one hair cut since then for a wedding.
I have a US made Wahl trimmer as well and love it.
Was the replacement also US made? I'm considering sharpening the blades on mine instead of purchasing a new one since I'm worried about the quality of the replacement.
Make sure you get one of the professional ones. In fsct when i got the first one, i went to a beauty supply store that caters to hairstylists and barbers, as opposed to going to Walmart. Not sure if it is/was bullshit, but I had heard that Walmart gets lower quality units (not unlike the claims that the TVs sold on Black Friday are poorer quality compared to regular ones). Both of mine were made in US.
Just a heads up, you can buy new blades for fairly cheap. On my old unit I replaced the blades maybe 10 years into owning it. I think because of how the blades are shaped, sharpening them might not really be possible. But I could be wrong.
Thanks for the advice.
Are you within 15 years of the end of your life?
Are you an insufferable pedant?
