Customer Reviews of Wahl 9906-717 Groomsman Cordless/Battery Operated Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Customer Review: Still Working
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past, I would purchase cheap trimmers and discard them after a few months when they get dull and not function as well as they use to. I found that it was more cost efficient for me to do this rather than buy an expensive trimmer that eventually degrades in performance after a while. I bought this relatively cheap Wahl 9906-717 Groomsman with the intension of using it for about 6 months and discarding it after it loses its sharpness.
Fast forward two years later, and this little gadget is still going strong. I use it every 2-3 days to trim my goatee. It is as sharp and doesn't pull hair (which is a sign that it's time to throw out). The motor is still fast and it performs just like the day I bought it. I didn't really keep up with the maintenance of oiling the blade, I probably did it around 3 times in 2 years. I will continue to use this razor until it finally stops working and then buy the same model.
Customer Review: Does the Job...Very well....
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this item for thinning my boyfriends goatee. I have to say it works wonders, almost too good. If you are not careful it will trim alittle more than what you want to trim off. So, I would suggest testing it before you start trimming your face, as you might trim a lot more than what you actually want to.
The additional components that come with this trimmer are really not very sturdy, they are plastic and are very hard to snap onto the actual trimmer. But if you use the bigger component it has a 5 settings that you can choose from for trimming and this is the only attachment that we use.
If you are looking for something cheap and that will thin a mustache or goatee, I would suggest this one. We do not use this item for trimming we just use it for thinning. It does what it is suppose to, for the price.
Customer Review: Best Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I read countless reviews on beard trimmers and settled on this one. For such a low price this product does a remarkably good job. My first time using it, I started at position # 6. Finally, I settled on position number 1 (shorter beard). I use it every Sunday and when I go to work every Monday I look and feel well-groomed.
One thing to point out. When I installed the batteries I thought the unit had a manufacturing defect. It "appears" that the second battery does not seat itself well in the battery compartment. Don't be concerned though, the battery cover will fit right back on as it should and the product works fine.
I've used the product for about 2 months now and am very pleased. I'm also very happy I did not spend more on a "fancier" trimmer. I cannot imagine any of them working any better than this.
Buy with confidence.
Customer Review: More dependable than the rechargeable model
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third Wahl Groomsman I have purchased. The first was battery operated, and lasted 15 years. It worked fine until the on-off switch wore out. The second was a Wahl Groomsman rechargeable which I bought a few months ago. It wouldn't hold a charge for more than a couple of weeks, so I bought this Wahl 9906-717 Groomsman battery operated model. This one works as well as my first Wahl did, and the batteries last a long time. They have already lasted longer than a charge on the rechargeable model did. Both this one and the rechargeable model have the same exterior shell, and the attachments are identical. However, I believe the new battery operated Wahl Groomsman will last just as long as my first Wahl Groomsman. I would recommend only the battery operated model.Customer Review: Best for the money...years of trouble free use!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this trimmer for over 6 years now. It has been absolutely flawless. I had my doubts about it at first because the attachments and stand seemed cheap. However, I have used this Wahl daily for all these years without a single problem or broken part. I am only now in the market for another trimmer because I want to keep this one as my dedicated travel trimmer. I will buy Wahl again for sure. The recharger even still holds 8 to 10 days! Best $15.00 I ever spent!
