Customer Reviews of Wahl 79524 24-Piece Deluxe Hair Clipper Kit
Customer Review: Very glad I bought this!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having never cut a single hair my entire life, I was a bit skeptical of actually giving my 2-year old son a haircut. But I watched the DVD (very helpful) and then went to work. It was really easy, and the results look pretty darn good, despite the fact that I cut his hair WHILE HE WAS ASLEEP!
The actual cutter was a lot quieter than I thought it would be. It glided easily thru the hair, with no tugging or pulling. The company has been around for quite some time, so I feel confident that these clippers will also be around for many years to come. Lots of cutting attachments for different lengths, which is really a bonus.
One downfall....the "cape" is nothing more than a garbage bag with ties. Totally worthless. Go to your local Sally Beauty Supply and get a real cape for a couple of bucks.
Customer Review: Quality product, few drawbacks
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this is a great product. I previously had a Conair clipper which wasn't bad either, but this is better. This is a heavy-duty product that is built well, runs well, and cuts awesome. No pulling and very even cutting. Very easy to use, especially for a novice.
The only drawbacks I found are the weight of the unit (a little heavy, much more so that the Conair), and the attachments seem a bit on the cheaper side to me. Other brands seem to have attachments that are a little more solid.
One thing I love is the attachment that protects the blade when not in use and allows you to wrap the cord around it, making storage very easy.
But the advantages far outweigh any drawbacks, and as said previously, this unit will pay for itself in one to two haircuts..
Customer Review: Well Worth the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product for the money. I live by myself and tried cutting my own hair for the first time. It worked great after I figured out how to use a hand held mirror with the wall mounted bathroom mirror for trimming the collar line, behind the ears and back of the neck. I used the largest comb guide first with excellent results. Some previous reviews complained of being too heavy and noisy. I found no issue with these concerns. Also, I like the idea it's AC powered so one has constant power throughout the cut unlike rechargeable types which may gradually run down in a single setting.
This is great if one has young, older, or retired males in the household and can save you a ton of money in the long run, not to mention one doesn't have to wait in line for a hair cut!
Customer Review: Money Saving Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that most of the accessories in this package, I'll never use. However, I do use the clipper for my goatee and sideburns almost every other day. It's a sturdy hard driven cutting blade that doesn't pull and is quiet (you do need to keep the blade oiled with the enclosed oil). Occasionally I will have my partner trim the back of my neck, but to be honest, I trust a barber or salon for my hair. However, if you are good at cutting hair, a family would do very well with this. I only use one guide comb for my goatee, moustache and sideburns, but there are nine others. For the price, it is a money saver, especially if you are a mom who cuts your kids hair. Everything you could possibly need is here. Great guarantee too.Customer Review: No more crying
Summary: 5 Stars
My son is 2 1/2 and has had his hair cut at a kids barber about 5 times. Each time is terrible - he sits on my lap fussing and crying the entire time. At my wits end, I bought these clippers and they worked great. We sat outside and my husband read him books and gave him a mini M&M when he started to get uncomfortable. (The power of chocolate...)
The haircut is a bit of a hack job, but I'm sure I will get better with a little practice.
My only comment is that I probably would have preferred the clippers with colored guards because everything is black. The case is black, the guards are black - it is hard to figure out which guard you have when you are trying to move quickly.
