Product Reviews of Wahl 9906-717 Groomsman Cordless/Battery Operated Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Product Review: Horrible
Summary: 2 Stars
Won't run on NiMH rechargable batteries (I use Eneloop, awesome batteries). Drains even quality alkalines really fast (I can get like two sessions out of a set, whereas my Braun Pocketgo shaver will last for a couple months and runs fine with my Eneloops). Doesn't have a lot of power. I got a haircut the other day and I don't know what brand of trimmer they used but it was about the same size, battery operated and it was an amazing difference. This piece doesn't even begin to compare. Do not buy!Product Review: I should have read the poor reviews.
Summary: 1 Stars
Installing batteries is a frustrating chore, because the compartment is too small, which also causes the lid to keep popping off. Also, the product was completely covered with smudge marks.
Product Review: IT'S DURABLE
Summary: 5 Stars
EASY TO CLEAN & EASY TO GROOM AS A WIRELESS TRIMMER. I THINK THIS WILL LAST FOR A LONG TIME!

Product Review: If you purchase this trimmer, then PLEASE KEEP YOUR RECEIPT
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had either a beard or goatee for the last 28 years, and for most of this time I owned a Wahl trimmer. My first Wahl lasted 10 years, my second Wahl lasted for 8 years. I took a 3 year break using a Norelco (which was a Christmas gift), however, I was never satisfied with the cut at longer settings. I ultimately went back to various Wahl trimmers, yet they all gave out (battery, motor, etc) in less than 2 years.
Deciding to give Wahl one last chance. I purchased the "All-in-One Trimmer Kit," given that it had a 5-year warranty. The battery quit recharging after the 3rd month, and Wahl's position was since I failed to keep my receipt, there was no warranty coverage. Please note that my failure to keep the receipt was definitely my fault. However, I can say, through personal experience, that Wahl's quality and performance has SIGNIFICANTLY declined over the years (based on my last four purchases), and this was the last Wahl trimmer that I will ever own. If you cannot purchase any other trimmer but a Wahl, my advice is that you hold fast to your receipt...because I fear you will need it sooner rather than later. If any other option is available to you, I would strongly urge you to consider it, rather than purchasing a Wahl.
Product Review: Lasted 2 years
Summary: 4 Stars
Worked nicely for the last 2 years. In the last couple of months, the motor didn't turn on. If I took the blades off, I could get the motor to start again by moving the very small metal dowel-looking pin that sticks out from the motor and makes the blades move. It was annoying to do this every time I wanted to shave, but it worked for a few weeks and the motor was running strong once I got it started. Now the motor won't start at all.
I'm thinking of buying the same model again (even though it seems to be made cheaply) because:
1) I don't have any confidence from reading other reviews that the more expensive models will last any longer or much longer.
2) For the price ($15 on Amazon), lasting 2 years comes out to less than $1 a month.
