Wahl Colour Pro Cordless Hair Clipper

This hair clipper is very user-friendly, with excellent shaving effect. It shaves cleanly and can be done in one go. And its design is very user-friendly, comfortable to touch, and very convenient to use. At the same time, it is also equipped with various shaving combs, which can adjust the shaving length according to needs, making it very practical. In short, this hair clipper is a highly cost-effective product, very recommended!

Many trimming accessories come with this Wahl trimmer. Its a nice trimmer but you need to be very careful when cleaning. I followed the directions when I removed the cutting head of the unit and when I put it back together, it will not secure tightly like the way it was from the factory. It still works but the cutting edge / head vibrates now and makes a rattling noise that is very irritating. Overall it's nice but I wish it did not rattle.

Great easy to use clipper, affordable and color coated. Works well to cut the hair, and bonus storage box is great to keep everything in one spot. The guards come in a range from short to long and have enough variety to cover anyone’s needs, because of the color coating you won’t have to worry about accidentally picking up the wrong guard. The machine is also quiet. This brand is a trusted brand of hairstylists and barbers

Colourful cordless!

A great, quiet and fairly lightweight shaver that i use on my beard, more than my head. It could possible do with a couple more guards of "in-between lengths" but thats why I have a separate beard trimmer I suppose. Its much quieter than I expected and therefore great compared to my wahl beard trimmer. Particularly on a quiet morning shave. Good price on the website too!

Easy to hold and wide range of comb sizes

Fantastic. Best hair clippers I’ve ever bought. Always used Remington in the past, but batteries don’t seem to last as long between charges. This one is as they say ‘a no brainier’ With the combs being colour coded so you can’t get them mixed up. Believe me I once left the Combes off and nearly scalped myself with the old clippers. Charges quickly enough for a quick trim with fat charge or for the full Monty a longer charge suffices. Easy to hold and direct. Your ache to get a good grip due to the shape. Looks good and you can’t beat the price for value. Covered by a guarantee and well known brand name. I highly recommend this one

Makes a good pet trimmer!

I needed a new pet trimmer for my Lhasa Apso and Mini Schnoodle- both needing regular grooming but one with a double coat and somewhat thicker hair, and the other with very fine soft hair. Wanting to save a few dollars, I opted for this cordless Wahl Pro trimmer with the color coded clipper guards. First, the color coded guards are perfect for knowing which length to cut. I have had clippers with all black guards which forces me to search for the number each time I want to switch to a different guard for different links. This makes the process much more efficientl. The other benefit to this clipper is being cordless, my one dog is not a fan of haircuts to begin with, so having a cord swaying around her in the process actually caused more anxiety in the past. This is ... MoreI needed a new pet trimmer for my Lhasa Apso and Mini Schnoodle- both needing regular grooming but one with a double coat and somewhat thicker hair, and the other with very fine soft hair.

This is a low profile clipper so your dog will not notice it as much as a corded clipper. The noise level to me was the same as the corded versions, and the Wahl Pet clipper (my prior clipper). The charge lasted for the entire clipping of my Lhasa, which was approximately 35 minutes and still had much of the batter remaining. I do agree with another reviewer that if the dog has mats (my Lhasa did), then this clipper has a difficult time clipping through, but it was not a significant difference. Overall, I give this clipper two paws up! Thinking of getting one for my husband too!

Review of WAHL Colour Pro 9649-017 Hair Clipper - White & Blue

Good quality for this price. Doesn't feel cheap at all. I'd recommend it for people who'd like to make haircuts for their family. Not so professional as you expect for this price. But does the job pretty well. Set includes clipper, attachments, small brush, scissors, comb, oil for lubrication

Smooth, but the battery is an issue

This hair clipper/beard trimmer gives a smooth cut with no irritation, but I wish Wahl would move to using Li-ion batteries instead of NiMH that take 12 hours to charge for 1 hour of use. It's crazy that they're still using this obsolete technology in 2023. Is this product worth 37? I don't think so. I also bought their Groomsman beard trimmer in 2019 to replace an older Groomsman that I'd had since around 2013 because it stopped holding charge and had rusted. There was a noticeable drop in quality with the newer one (the blades kept snagging my beard and it left my face red and irritated). Honestly, I think I'm going to be moving away from Wahl products now as they're not worth the asking price anymore. There's much cheaper beard trimmers on the market that do a ... MoreThis hair clipper/beard trimmer gives a smooth cut with no irritation, but I wish Wahl would move to using Li-ion batteries instead of NiMH that take 12 hours to charge for 1 hour of use.

Honestly, I think I'm going to be moving away from Wahl products now as they're not worth the asking price anymore. There's much cheaper beard trimmers on the market that do a decent job and have Li-on batteries that take less than an hour to charge using a USB-C cable. Wahl obviously have no interest in getting with the times when it comes to battery technology. Either adapt or get left behind.

So Far, So Good

The clipper guards are color coded by the length of their allowed cut. They are numerous but made of plastic though and might be prone to cracking and breaking over time. But the good news is that they even include a pair of guards designed to trim around the ears. Wahl also does market a like set of replacement guards incidentally, as well a more expense set of guards featuring metal clips... which might foster a longer work life, should some of the all-plastic guards quickly fail.More generally, I have undertaken self-barbering only about nine months ago. And I have so far been able to produce a fairly decent trim of my top and sides using just a pair of scissors. But I haven't done very well on my back and neck. So, this explains why I purchased these clippers ... MoreThe clipper guards are color coded by the length of their allowed cut.

So, this explains why I purchased these clippers at all. And yes, so far, I have been able to do a fairly decent job with the taper down by my neck. Hopefully, I will be able to do still better with a bit more practice.This clipper package provides a pair of scissors and a couple combs, too. And the grooming instructions are pretty good as well as incisive.One final note: The cutting blade on this clipper has done a good job, so far. But it is not intended for professional use. So, I cannot attest to how long the motor and blades will actually last. And it is also true that the clipper's cleaning instructions are pretty exacting. Be forewarned.

Wahl Colour Pro Cordless Clipper

I had managed to break my Tchibo clipper rechargeable. The Wahl was direct from the manufacturer at an offer price and was a similar arrangement. This type has clip-on guides rather than a mechanical adjustment. It can be used plugged in or cordless. This was like my old shaver.The Wahl is much more powerful but does get hot towards the end of a complete trim. I also use for a full beard trim, without the guides. The included oil is a good idea as I now know this is the best way to keep the blades in good order. Especially if cleaning first with IPA.The power supply/ charger has a cable that looks a bit thin. Time will tell.The instructions were a bit minimal, compared to my old trimmer. The on-line general guides were useful though.
