Wahl Vacuum Trimmer Kit with Powerful Suction for Beards, Facial Hair, Stubble, Nose, & Ear Hair Clipping – Lithium Ion Powered Electric Trimmer with 22 Individual Cutting Lengths– Model 9870-100

Works great! I am absolutely satisfied with this trimmer. I bought this to replace my Norelco 7000 series vacuum trimmer. I loved the Norelco, but the head kept breaking due to poor design with the plastic tabs that secure it in place. I had mine replaced under extended warranty three times in three years. Not knocking it obviously since I used it so long, I really liked it. Decided to try this one and am much happier so far. It seems to be a much better design and the vacuum is just as good, if not better. I use it primarily to shave my head weekly just like I did with the Norelco. It gets it down as close as the Norelco did and the vacuum works well. Take the reviews of the sub par vacuum function with a grain of salt. They are unrealistic. Those reviewers want a trimmer that will not leave one single hair to be cleaned up! It doesn’t exist. If I can shave my head weekly, while standing at my bathroom sink, without getting hair on the floor, and getting “some” hair in the sink, I’m good! As I said, great product so far.

I really was quite satisfied with this trimmer kit. The vacuum feature is awesome, and since I also make a mess while trimming my beard, my wife really loves it too! It makes trimming a breeze and I don’t spend a whole bunch of time like I did with my previous trimmer. One thing I would change is having the heads easier to put on and take off. But if that’s my only complaint, I’d say that’s pretty good. I’m also really digging the nose trimmer. It tickles but it gets those pesky hairs that catch boogers and people stare at. All in all, great product and I’d purchase again.

The packaging was professional and has a nice storage case. Adapter to add nise trimmer was difficult. Area that catches clippings did not slide out easily and difficult to put back on. Trimmer was easy to use and nice vacuum

I was very neutral when I got this trimmer. Not sure if it was anything special. Performance wise it did fantastic. I only needed to trim my beard and mustache a couple times a week. It trimmed very nice and was easy to maneuver. Light on the weight which is important when you're holding it by your face for a while. I charged it before I left town and came back a week after and it was still working great. The battery life is very long. One and only one downside is the vacuum strength. It sucks up some hair, but there's some work that needs to be done to that suction power. I still needed to clean up afterwards. I would recommend it to my friends.

The trimmer comes in a cardboard box that is well-padded to prevent damage during shipping. Inside the cardboard box is a carry pouch with the trimmer and accessories. The trimmer comes with a charger cord, several combs, a small vial of lubricating oil, a nose-hair clipper attachment and user manuals. As instructed by the manual, I fully charged the trimmer first before using it. While it was charging, I read the user manuals. Some of the pictures in the manual are of low quality, but I was able to understand the basics without any problems. The manual is for several different models, so, some of the accessories pictured and described in the manual are not present in the package. Once the trimmer was fully charged, I attached a comb with the appropriate length to it, and started using it. The trimmer is somewhat loud because of the vacuum motor. However, the trimmer is quite sharp and cuts hair smoothly and evenly. The vacuum was quite effective and collected most of the hair clippings. There was a little bit of spillage, but I figured out that most of the spillage happened after the vacuum receptacle was completely filled with hair, and there was no room for any more hair there. I then emptied the receptacle before continuing to use the product, and the vacuum worked well again. The trimmer is quite light, but the size is somewhat bulky. This can make it difficult to hold it and/or manipulate it for someone with small hands. Also, the vacuum outlets are located such that your hands tend to fully or partially cover them when holding the trimmer. That did not seem to affect the effectiveness of the vacuum though. After trimming the overall length of hair, you can remove the comb attachment and use the trimmer blades to shape the outline of your beard or scalp in fine detail. I use the trimmer on my scalp, and I was able to use the combless trimmer on my neck and around my ears to clear away excess hair. Cleanup was also very easy. In most cases, there is no cleanup required for the area where you used the trimmer because the vacuum works quite well. The vacuum chamber is easy to clean up and empty out. The trimmer comes with a stiff brush that can be used to clean the vacuum chamber as well as the cutting blade and comb. Unfortunately, the trimmer is not waterproof, so it can't be cleaned under the tap. But you can clean the combs and the cleaning brush under running water after you are done using the trimmer. Because of the ease of use and maintenance, you can easily use this trimmer every day or every couple of days. The battery is quite powerful, and can last several trimming sessions before needing to be recharged. There is no danger of overcharging the battery, so you can also charge it after every use just to be sure that there is always enough juice left for the next trim. The trimmer can also be used while charging, though the cord makes its use more inconvenient that way. Overall, this trimmer provides very good value for the money. I was more interested in the trimming than in the vacuum feature initially, but after seeing how well the vacuum works, and how much more convenient it makes the use of the trimmer, I can't imagine going back to a trimmer without such a feature. Based on my experience with the trimmer so far, I would definitely recommend it to anybody who needs a hair trimmer. Update on 2/15/2020: This trimmer has become a white elephant. The trimmer head is held in place by cheap plastic tabs and one of them broke off for no reason except that it is cheap and of very poor quality. I have not even removed the head from the trimmer, so it should not have been stressed by removal and reattachment, etc. Now the head wobbles and does not deliver a clean trim any more. Sometimes, it pops out of the trimmer entirely. Please see attached photos for the broken tabs of the trimming head. Anyways, I contact Wahl by email about it, and after more than a week, no response whatsoever. Not even an acknowledgement that they received my email. This company DOES NOT PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS or STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. This one is past the return window, so I can't do anything about it, but I will not buy any other Wahl products ever again.

I ordered this when my Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer failed after probably ten years of reliable service. It was the old NiCad battery that failed. The unit itself was near perfect. This Wahl is the closest replacement I could find but it's a poor second place. It took me more than an hour just to do initial familiarity and assembly. This unit has multiple difficult to assemble plastic combs (and one difficult to adjust adjustable comb) of various lengths as opposed to the T980 which has a simple single comb with a built-in rotary wheel to adjust length of cut. The Wahl also has a narrower cutting head than the T980. This is my initial observations and I will update with actual use of the Wahl, but already missing my T980. Wondering why Philips didn't just update old NiCad to newer batter technology. Update: 9-15-20: Same as above; very difficult to use if you use the combs. They are difficult to get in place and then they easily fall off during use. So miss my old T980 Philips Norelco.

At 70 I have tried a lot of trimmers & got hooked on vacuum ones. Always had a longer beard when younger but now a very well maintained short one. Last trimmer died & decided to try a well known brand like Whal. The price was good but didn’t need all the attachments but that’s ok. Read the reviews doing my man research & decided to give it a try. Got my trimmer & lots of parts so I sorted them out. Took out #1 & #2 combs also the adjustable & safety cover. After trying a #3 I decided 1 & 2 were where I needed to be. Being very careful how I changed these different things on the trimmer became easy. I did find that the adjustable comb didn’t lock in as well as it should & needs a stronger spring. But being a machinist & toolmaker for 43 years I have to say I’m very impressed with the fit of the attachments & also the price These negative & low responses just just show you didn’t take the time to figure things out & broke things I would recommend this trimmer & oh yea great vacuum

I really liked this trimmer. It comes with a bunch of different attachments - all that you could want. It also comes with a handy travel bag. I really like the sleek design and how it feels light when using. It keeps its charge for a long time and it gives a good quality trim every time. It's pretty quiet too. think I'll be using this for a long time. It feels very smooth in my hand when using it and clearing out the stubble is easy. The only issue I had was the quality of the instructions. I think they could be clearer - I broke a piece of plastic trying to install the main attachment. Other than that, the price was right and I'm quite happy with this purchase!

La rasuradora de cabello Wahl es una buena opción de compra para principiantes y para peluqueros/barberos. Me agradó en primer lugar que está fabricada en USA, y que viene con un instructivo sencillo en inglés y español. Me agradó que el tiempo de carga de la batería es corto, alrededor de dos horas la primera carga y con cargas más cortas después y que se puede usar también con el cable a la corriente que viene incluído. La pieza para cortar es de metal sólido y segun dice el manual, con la calidad de Wahl. Las diferentes piezas para los cortes de cabello y barba son de plástico ligero y viene numeradas del 1 al 7 u 8 (no recuerdo bien) y se montan y desmontan de manera sencilla y rápida. El motor es potente y esto se nota al usarse con pelo grueso. La evolución que me agradó es que la pieza viene con una aspiradora de pelos que funciona con eficacia, se limpia fácilmente también con ayuda de los accesorios. Yo la compré porque incluye una rasuradora circular para pelo de la nariz y de las orejas que también es potente, por lo menos mejor que las piezas sencillas en forma de pluma operadas por baterías AA que hacen lo mismo. No hace demasiado ruido y es ligera. Requiere de ser lubricada con aceite especial con frecuencia para conservar las navajas en óptimo estado. Las navajas de la pieza de corte son autoafilantes. Lo que no me agradó es que las únicas piezas de toda la máquina que son de metal son la cabeza de corte y el accesorio para la nariz/orejas, todo lo demás es de plástico y me da la impresión que no resistiría una caída. La versiones más antiguas de Wahl son más sólidas. La pieza es un poco grande para manos pequeñas y no es delgada. El instructivo dice que para reemplazar las baterías recargables que incluye y que le dan autonomía deben ser reemplazadas en la fábrica de Wahl lo mismo que los demas desperfectos en USA. Desconozco si existen talleres locales que la reparen. En general vale la pena por el precio a pagar pero tengo mis reservas si durará por muchos años tal y como dice el instructivo incluído pero por otro lado, la mayoría de máquinas en el mercado son similares o por lo menos para el futuro esa es la tendencia.

Facile à utiliser et le mini aspirateur intégré aspire très bien.

During the lockdown the best trimming solution for Hair & Shaving .. Very easy to operate.. comfortable & user friendly ..

Muy bien llego un día antes.

I was really excited as I liked the vacuum feature which did suck in most of the hair but on my 2nd use, the head popped off, fell in the sink and one of the little plastic arms that keeps it in broke off. I'd be willing to give it another try if they sent a replacement. It's unfortunate that it broke so soon and the Amazon return just expired. There's $75 down the drain. Would have been cheaper to go to the barber.
