    Es un producto para uso profesional! Un motor muy potente ! Mucho mejor que los modelos cordless !

    They are very well made, and work brilliantly.
    However, they are on the heavy side and I’d have liked a case for them.

    Wahl has always been at the top of my list for clipper brands and this Wahl clipper senior has not let me down. The quality of the clippers is fantastic. They cut very well, leaving no hair untouched. The clippers are relatively quiet and do not get hot while using. The power cord is long enough to reach far away outlets and the cord does not tangle. Included are 3 basic guards, which will cover your basic haircutting needs. Super product for the price!

    I have had this for 2 years and it still looks new and still does an amazing job. I have been using this on a regular basis to cut my husbands hair. I have attachments for it and love it. The blade is still sharp and it does not pull his hair. This was well worth what I paid for it

    I walked into a drug store twenty years ago and bought any old clippers off the shelf and they were Wahls. They are sturdy, effective, easy to use, made of quality materials and gave you a great haircut every time. For TWENTY YEARS. I’ve tried 3-4 Wahls today and the exact opposite is true. Yes, they are more lightweight, and that’s because the materials are thin and cheap. I finally gave up on Wahls altogether and went with a different brand that I don’t recommend either but at least they are better than Wahl.

    Always had a hard time finding clippers. That would clip my fine hair instead of just bending it. These clippers are awesome! Never had such a great haircut!

    This is the third hair clipper we’ve tried. We live on a boat and do our own haircuts on the guys and tried a couple of other clippers. Haircuts where long and painful with cheap consumer grade clippers that pulled and wouldn’t cut after the first haircut. Multiple passes each time barely cutting the hair and pulling the rest, 30-40 minutes for a simple men’s cut. My son in particular dreaded them they were so long and unpleasant.

    Finally I asked a friend who runs his own salon for advice. He told me “Buy a Wahl, and spend a least $50 since the cheaper ones tend to be junk for household use.”

    He was absolutely right. The first haircut my wife gave me with this took about two minutes and never caught or pulled. Same with my son’s.

    The clipper has a nice heft too it, it feels SOLID and hums authoritatively without buzzing or clacking. It is almost all metal and feels like a quality, well built piece of machinery. You know, just like the ones you are used to when you sit in the barber’s chair.

    From the way this thing is built and works, with only two of us getting cuts I suspect it will be the last clipper we ever buy.

    Extremely happy with this clipper. Works great, cuts very smooth and easy to hold. Use it for my own head and don’t have any complaints. Takes one or two times to get used to it to get an even cut, but after some practice it works great. I used to have the Oster76 Outlaw, which was really loud and would get uncomfortably hot within 5 minutes of use; the Wahl however barely gets warm after about 20 minutes of use and is a lot quieter. Also, buying guards for the Wahl has a lot more reasonably priced options as opposed to the Oster and it has an adjustable blade to fine tune the cut length.

    Excelente producto, ya qué es de uso profesional realiza su función de corte con precisión y muy buen materia. Lo recomiendo.

    Used this brand for years

    Have gone through 2 Costco Wahl trimmers. After a year or so of bi-weekly cuts they just stop cutting well and require multiple passes. This professional version seems much tougher. Kind of sucks that the $60-70 versions come with 8-12 plastic guides for cutting different lengths but this commercial version comes with only 3 short ones. Positive is that the blade size of this commercial version is the same as the home versions so you can use the same home cutting guides (or buy them cheap from the used/broken marketplace).

    I got tired of buying a new hair trimmer every year because of lack of power, won’t hold a charge or just plain fell apart. I am a frolicky impaired person who likes to keep my hair trimmed, what little I still have. I have had this trimmer for over a year now and the only thing I have had to do was add a little oil to the blades to keep them running smoothly. Side note: make sure you double check the tightness on the screws after you have cleaned and oiled the blades, unless you enjoy removing the “p” trap on your sink to retrieve a screw that fell off, my bad. My son has a thick head of hair that needs trimming every few weeks (don’t know where that came from, thanks MOM) and this trimmer doesn’t even slow down plowing through his hair, the other shavers would just bog down or not even cut it. It is heavier than most trimmers, maybe that is why it work so well. If you want to save some money on haircuts and aren’t a style monkey, get this trimmer. All the old Barber Shops that I used to go, when I had hair, all used Wahls, there has to be a reason for that, built to last.

    Llegó muy rápido, tardó solo 1 día. Se calienta un poco, pero me imagino es por el material de aluminio. Muy buena máquina.
