Great trimmer as long as you're not looking for a cordless. The plug is a bit bulky and heavy for storage, otherwise, the trimmer is light, ergonomic and works well.

I replaced a Norelco whose battery had ceased functioning, intentionally buying this battery-less model. What a surprise to find it is far better than the Norelco. The beard trimming is far smoother and the moustache trimming is quite accurate. In addition this device works fast. What a pleasant surprise.

As a veteran user of first the cordless, then the corded/cordless models, I like the dependable, smooth, steady power of the corded model. Of course it's new, but it seems quiet also. What I don't like is that, unlike the other two models, this one doesn't have the rotatable head with the choice of regular- or mini-sized clipper. I can think of no good reason why this feature would not be included in this model as well. It makes no sense.

This is a great little trimmer for cleaning up scruffy necks and sideburns. The best part is the vacuum--it sucks up the cut hairs so they don't all go down your back, and there's less clean-up. It's not as powerful as the barber's, of course, but it does a great job for home use. I wish there was a big trimmer with this feature. What about it, Wahl??

I rather buy a corded trimmer. Its better is not like the others that you have to charge and dont last anything. But this is a great product. I'm planning to buy a second one.

Yeah, this thing is loud, but it drowns out the wife for a few minutes every third day or so and I haven't found anything that could do that since 1985 when we lived next to the airport.

This Wahl Vac Trimmer works very well and doesn't leave a mess in the sink. The body IS a little bulkier than the cordless non-vacuum model I had for years, but that's to be expected with the added features of vacuum and catch tray. The blade guide is identical to the old cordless model, down to the position numbers so there was no learning curve for that.

I'm extremely happy with this product.

I'm so happy with the one I have, I'm buying it again. I've had this for at least 5 years and it works great. It seems my blade may not be as sharp after 5 years of use so I thought I would pick up another to replace it. My wife bought me some fancy trimmer with all the attachments, and this one still works better. The vacuum really works, no mess in the sink. Its light, and I don't find it bulky, maybe the charger, but I only use it at home. Because of its shape, it's a little hard to get up under the nose to trim the top part of a moustache. If you wife complains about your hair in the sink, get this!

I've owned Wahl trimmers for years because they last and trim with ease. I have a very full beard and make a big mess in the sink every time I trim it. I'm also lazy, that's why I have a beard in the first place so I don't have to shave every day. I'd put off trimming till I just had to because I don't like cleaning up the sink. Which means my beard didn't look neat all the time. This vacuum in a trimmer must be a new idea, or somehow I've missed it.
If it were any other brand I'd of had second thoughts because I've bought those cheap light weight computer vacuums that can't pick up even a speck of dust. But this is a Wahl so I had to try it. I'm glad I did. This trimmer cuts great like all the other Wahl trimmers I've owned, and I'm most impressed that the vacuum works better than I could have expected possible in such a light weight trimmer.

Some say it's bulky? I hold it with 2 fingers and zoom it through my beard with no problem. There's no bulk and very little missed hairs from the vacuum. Again, if it were any other brand of trimmer I'd have doubts that it would last because it is so light weight. But, this is a Wahl. I trust 'em.

Wahl usually makes good products, but I would not recommend this one. The trimmer is very big (about the width of a baseball in your hand) and difficult to use because of its size (hard to see where you're trimming). It is also very loud from the "vacuum". I would recommend getting a beard/mustache trimmer that's smaller and easier to use. Mine has been sitting in the bathroom cabinet and I haven't used it in months. I will be buying a different beard trimmer soon.

I'll never buy another Wahl trimmer. I've always used Norelco products, which don't need oil. This trimmer needs oiling about every third time I use it, which means taking it apart and adding stinky oil to the blades. Plus, they give you only a tiny amount of oil and expect you to pay $20 (inc tax and S&H) to buy more. The product works OK but you can save yourself the trouble and hassle (and smell) of the oily mess by buying a Norelco or perhaps a Remington product.
