Wahl Groomsman Battery Operated Facial Hair Trimmer for Beard & Mustache Trimming Including Light Detailing and Body Grooming – Model 9906-717V

An amazing trimmer for little money.
Why I Need This: I’ve been shaving with Norelco electric razors for years. And while I like the way they shave, their built-in pop-up trimmer leaves something to be desired. I don’t have a beard. But I do have a mustache and sideburns that need to be trimmed.
It’s not that that Norelco’s pop-up trimmer doesn’t work. But in order to get the desired results, I have to keep going over the same area multiple times. I thought to myself, if only I could find an inexpensive trimmer that would do the job quickly and easily. Tada! Wahl to the rescue!
The Performance: All I can say is wow. For fifteen bucks this little trimmer is amazing. I was all set to buy something a lot more expensive. I’m glad I didn’t. First of all, I don’t need or want a trimmer for hair in my nose and ears (I prefer scissors and tweezers for that). Secondly, I have no use for a dozen different attachments to trim the hair on my head (my barber would kill me). And thirdly, I’m not the sort of guy who likes to manscape my manly parts, or even think of shaving off my treasure trail (look it up if I lost you).
The Cutting Mechanism: Surprisingly for the money, the blade mechanism on this trimmer is not a flimsy piece of stamped metal. The base plate is thick, and it’s “precision ground” per Wahl. I believe it. And unlike the crappy trimmer on my Norelco razor, this trimmer contains a lot of closely spaced teeth. The end result is that I can set the length of my sideburns and trim my mustache in about 1/3 the time.
Power Requirements: This trimmer does not work or come with a cord. Nor does it have a built-in rechargeable battery. Nor does it come with any batteries at all. It uses two (2) AA batteries that you’ll have to supply yourself. You can power it using regular alkaline batteries. But I already have a battery charger and a bunch of rechargeable AA batteries, so that’s what I use.
Warranty: The warranty on this trimmer is three years. But considering the cheap price, it may not even be worth the cost of postage to return it to Wahl if it quits working.
Maintenance: This trimmer is not waterproof. Don’t use it in the shower, or use water to clean it. Use the included brush to brush away unwanted hairs in the cutting mechanism. Wahl includes a little bottle of oil. You’re supposed to apply a few drops to the cutting mechanism every month.
Country of Origin: Unlike some Wahl products that were made in the USA, this trimmer was made in Vietnam.
Closing Comments: It’s inexpensive, and it works very well for my needs. I didn’t mention it earlier, but the shape of this trimmer is easy to hold. I’m very pleased with this product.

Works pretty good
This works pretty good for the price. I love that it takes AA batteries so we don’t have to worry about plugging it in to charge. It is a bit loud. For the money, I would recommend.

No Organizer / No Base / No Storage
This trimmer has no base, no organizer, no storage capability – not even a bag. It appears that Wahl expects that everything will just get dumped on the countertop or crammed into a drawer. The trimmer comes with several accessories, but it has absolutely no means of storing them. I have purchased Wahl trimmers in the past, and every one of them has come with a base, with slots for storing accessories. Sadly, this new Wahl trimmer has no base. To make matters worse, it will not even fit into the base for my old Wahl trimmer (Which gave me good service for many years.).
I called Wahl Customer Service, and I was informed that they are moving away from providing bases. It is not possible to even purchase a base separately. My guess is that another idiot executive got a promotion by making the Customer Experience just a bit more frustrating.
The device itself seems to be of good quality. I especially like the fact that it uses standard AA batteries, rather than the fixed internal rechargeable type. Standard batteries are much easier to properly dispose of, so I find that to be a very positive point.
Wahl has lost a Customer. In general, I have liked Wahl products over the years, and this trimmer is no exception. Unfortunately, in the future, I will not be buying from a manufacturer that ignores the basic realities of their Customer’s experience with their product. Although this trimmer works fine, I am looking for a replacement with a proper base/storage.

Great product as expected. But awesome value.
As I said above the quality is what you expect from this brand name the function is also what could be expected but the price is incredibly fair. The only thing I will add is that it does not come with the battery charger or a plug-in adapters what I’m saying it runs on two AA batteries which I’m fine with easily available and convenient. Everything fits in a case nicely also

Se la compré a mi pareja Y le guste mucho ! Es Muy bueno y de buena calidad ! Si la volveríamos a comprar .

Works as advertised. It also convenient as it requires regular batteries so don’t have to worry about charging your device. Provided accessories are decent.
The only downside is that the trimmer is loud so using it near your ears can result in some hearing loss. Will update in around 10 years.
