Wahl USA Self Cut Compact Corded Clipper Personal Haircutting Kit with Adjustable Taper Lever, and 12 Hair Clipper Guards for Clipping, Trimming & Personal Grooming – Model 79467

I Truly Like Everything About It
It is very satisfying to find a manufacturer who genuinely cares about all aspects of their product. This is my first haircutting kit and I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. To start off with, I am very particular about packaging, and it is evident that Wahl also cares about this. The clipper comes in a sturdy, cleanly branded cardboard box sealed with a Wahl sticker, so you know that it is new. Inside is the well-designed, functional plastic carrying case holding the easy-to-read instructions, the clipper, attachments, cleaning brushes and oil, two combs, and a pair of scissors that work very well. I will continue to keep the clipper and all accessories inside the plastic carrying case that I will put back in the sturdy, rectangular-shaped box after each use to keep everything together and for ease of storage. They advertised this model as being quiet, which is one of the main reasons I selected it. And it is in fact noticeably quiet. I received this product yesterday and we used it today. This was my first ever home haircut and the first time my wife has used a clipper. Its ergonomic design, solid build, and balanced weight clearly prove it is high quality. It was a lot easier to use than either of us thought it would be. And I was very satisfied with the outcome! We errored on the side of caution and decided to use only the #8 attachment and scissors to start with. That is all we needed! Wahl, thank you for taking pride in your products! I highly recommend this Wahl Clipper kit. Extremely high quality at a very reasonable price.

A downgrade in quality from 10 yrs ago – otherwise works!
Bought an MH-10 or MS-10 model for $20 at Walmart in 2007. It lasted up until 2019 when the cord strain relief broke. It was a good solid-feeling chrome unit with some heft and quick smooth operation. Could have replaced the cable but decided to save myself trouble and replace with a new clipper. I usually cut my hair at home.This new self-cut clipper slightly smaller which I like, and with a bit of a curve to help with self-cut ergonomics, but has that light Chinese plasticy feel. It is a lot louder buzz, vibrates, and the height adjustment lever is distinctly cheap and flexible. It almost certainly wouldn’t survive a drop to the floor. The lever rubs on the body when traveling through its range… why did Wahl not address this? The rubber overmold is nice feeling but after a trim it is difficult to wipe the clippings off the rubber. A smooth plastic with some molded smooth bumps would have been better. Without a guard, this clipper will also nick the skin, whereas the older one did not. With a guard installed (they assertively click on), these clippers cut beautifully. Not complaints on its ability to cut hair.Portability is touted as one of its selling points, but oddly, the plastic carry case is much larger than my older larger clipper from Wahl. The case is also of a thinner plastic and just feels floppy. I transferred the contents into the old case and will continue to use until I have time to replace the cable on the old buzzer. A minor suggestion to Wahl would be to include some type of holder for the guards. Why is it considered normal to have more than a dozen loose objects rattling around in the case, if most people only really need to use the same 2 or 3 things each time? Lets get organized!These are made in USA, so I will continue to support Wahl, but would be nice not to see quality degrade, especially as cost is increased.

I only purchased these because it happened to be the most economical clipper that came with a lever and the often-omitted 1-1/2 guard. But I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality and performance of it, especially at this price point.The smaller form factor gives you a lot more control and nuance when blending fades on your own head; a bigger clipper will cut more and thus be faster, but increase the chance of a mistake. The blades are sharp and cut close out of the box. The motor has this bassy low-end rumbling sound, but it’s not very loud and not at all annoying. Perhaps most importantly is that it does not get hot to the touch even during long sessions.The downsides? There is only one that I can think of. The wire to plug it in is thick and doesn’t always lend itself to being easy to maneuver; you might have to reposition it at times to get it out of the way — the other side of this is that the machine can draw more power from the wall without heating up the wire or the motor.

Gave myself the best haircut I have had in years firs try out. Watched a few YouTube videos first though and my wife helped me as well. Looking forward to my next cut. Easy to use just watch a few videos first and start with longer levels just to be safe. But very easy to use.

Makes it easy for me to cut my hair on my own.It’s a good product that will last and work well a long time.Thanks.
