Product Reviews of Wahl 9243-517N HomePro 22-Piece Complete Haircut Kit
Product Review: What A Horrible Lemon
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product to cut hair and on the cover was " Quiet But Powerful". Yeah and I have a peice of moon property to sell you...
I should have suspected from the inferior casing and badly packed pieces just thrown in at random with no contoured or individual spaces.
This thing is LOUD, VIBRATES worse than a badly packed washing machine and needs 4 or 5 passes to cut hair! It leaves your wrist sore from the vibration and ears numb from the noise.
If you handle chain saws then this is for you, if you want something quiet, friendly that doesn't scare your child then look elsewhere... I know I am.
What a piece of junk!
Product Review: What a piece of junk.
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing stinks. I shave my head weekly with a trimmer, and my old one was on its last legs so I ordered this. It didn't even make it through one haircut. The blades jammed up. Not with hair, they just were stuck together or something. I greased it up with the little tube of lube it came with, no luck. I took it apart to see if there was hair in there but there wasn't. So after completely disassembling this thing and putting it back together I got it to work for another minute. Then it froze again.
I had to dig my old clipper out of the trash to finish my haircut. I am returning this piece of junk.
Product Review: Will last you years and years!!! Can't go wrong with Wahl.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wahl is perhaps the best all-round clipper set. I was soooo satisfied with this set that I ended up buying three of them. I really hate going to barbers as they can be quite inconsistent, so I bought this set. The Wahl set has been so comfortable to use that I have been cutting my hair at home for the past few years. This set really, really does last that long.I have also tried a Conair clipper set and have been tremendously dissapointed with that one. Do not buy that if you are contemplating between Wahl and Conair....make sure you buy the Wahl instead. The Wahl gives you a clean cut that is very smooth, whereas the Conair feels like it's pulling your hair rather than cutting it. Also, the Wahl comes with many pieces and additions/attachments you can add to it or purchase from the Wahl site. I would recommend Wahl to all first-time users as well as those who have been cutting their own hair for ages.
Product Review: Works, But is Not Very Powerful
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, so the Wahl brand is a good one in my mind, so I thought for sure I was safe purchasing this haircut kit even though it was the cheapest I could find on Amazon. Well, apparently Wahl makes cheap China quality stuff too.
I first opened the thing up and tried to give myself a haircut one night around 11:30 PM. Sure enough everything I needed was in there, full selection of guards and trimmer attachments etc. It also came with full color directions on how to cut your own hair which was nice. Great. I prepared to let some hair fly.
I have thick hair to begin with, but I figured I'd start a little longer than I usually need and then trim down from there. I started with a No. 5 trimmer attachment. Well, long - VERY long - story short, I didn't actually finish the haircut until well after 1 AM. Granted, I'm more of a hair-cutting novice than anybody, but the fact is these here clippers are as weak as snot. They jammed literally every 3 seconds of cutting. Oh, and I ended up with a No. 7 length haircut simply because it would NOT cut my hair with the No. 5.
About halfway through I realized that there had to be something wrong and I scoured the owners manual for a troubleshooting guide. It said you can actually turn up the clipper's power with the adjustment screw on the side. So, after ruining the little plastic screwdriver they sent in the kit to no avail, I got a real screwdriver and adjusted the power. Ok, it was a lot better (I could actually CUT the hair), but it still jammed probably every 15 seconds. I would stop, knock out the little remnants of hair in the clippers, sometimes take the plate off, blow on it, put it back together and most of the time it worked. Sometimes it didn't and I would have to insert various heated insults into the process.
The kit was cheap enough that it would be too much trouble to send back so here's a lesson for me: cut your hair once a week so it only needs the faintest of trims. Lesson for you: don't buy this if you have thick hair. If your hair is wispy thin you probably won't have a problem, but otherwise steer clear and get something with a little more quality.
Product Review: Wow!

This product is a must have. My wife has been cutting my hair off and on for the past 15 years with one pair of traditional scissors. These clippers operate flawlessly. No need to go to a barber since she has learned to use the clippers like a pro. Comes with a case and an assortment of accessories.
