Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Some reviewers harshly criticize this product and if I'd read their reviews before buying the Wahl 817 I probably wouldn't have purchased it.But my experience with the Wahl 817 beard and moustache trimmer over the past eight months - from initial trimming of a new beard to preparing to shave it off for the summer - has been quite positive.
The basic trimming functions work well.Just the basic adjustable beard thinning head and the straight trimming edge without any plastic head attached has met all my needs.A plus is that the batteries hold their charge a long time which allows the trimmer to be taken on trips without the hassle of carrying - and potentially losing - the recharging device.
Some people complain the plastic attachments are difficult to put on and remove and break easily.Take it easy and be patient.They will loosen up a bit and none of mine have broken in almost a year.There probably are too many attachments.But so what?Just use the ones you need.
The only shortcoming with this trimmer in my experience so far is that the instructions don't provide examples or directions for using the various attachments and their intended use is unclear to me.But, again, most guys probably will just use the basic head to thin beard growth and the cutting edge to keep their moustache edge neat.
Recommended to anyone who wants an inexpensive, basic, reliable beard trimmer that holds a battery charge well.
