I bought these clippers after a previous set I had bought from another company. First off, I wanna say these are GREAT clippers if you maintain them as you should. Its worrh the price, they stay sharp, they’re easy to clean, and they come with the 1/2 , 1 1/2, and 2 guards which I believe are the most necessary guards for any clippers. The battery life lasts about 2 hours which is pretty good for a wireless set. They work really well with the wire too, as needed. I also like the indent in the front for my thumb. It keeps my hand comfortable and helps me maneuver easier

A 5 star Made in USA clipper

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

I love that Wahl supporters the American worker. And as long as they continue to do so, I will support and buy from them ALWAYS. My last clipper I bought almost 20 years ago from Wahl, finally hit the bucket. The wire broke from too much twisting. And it was near where it goes into the clipper. So, I could not strip the wire and reconnect. So, I wanted a quality product, but more importantly, support my fellow Americans. So, I knew who to turn to. And of course, I was not disappointed. This clip is wireless. But you do have the option to use the charging wire if you want. But as long as you charge it, it will hold a charge for a long time. The motor noise is very smooth an quiet. No need to adjust the motor speed like the other ones they sell for $20-$40 ish dollars. This is a one speed. You can adjust the height of the blade. Comes with a few clipper blades. I would recommend if you want to use it for longer hair cuts, to purchase a set that comes with small to very tall blades, like the #10, 12, 14, etc. They are found on Amazon. It also comes with a brush and oil, with instructions. It does not come with a barber robe. You will have to purchase that separate if you want to keep the hair off of you. They have nice ones on Amazon for like $15-$25 dollars. The one I got is very nice and has a hair brush to get all the small hairs off. Some people might look at the $90 dollar price and say that is too much. Even say, all I need is a $30 one and it does everything I need. And that may be true. But having both of the price ones, I can tell you, especially if you cut your hair a bit long, over an inch, this is the way to go. With clean hair, and a proper oiled blade, this not only cuts quick, but gives you an even cut. So, when your hair starts to grow, it won't grow uneven because of the clipper. The hair does not get caught in the blades, which may cause pulling. And having it portable, makes it easy to take it with you, and do hair cuts any where. It is very annoying cutting hair with the cord in the way and hitting myself or my kids face or head. I highly recommend this over the $30-$40 ish dollar ones. But whatever you decide to do, stick with Wahl and support your fellow American jobs. Without them having jobs, they cannot buy your products or services. It is not one companies job to create American jobs, so the other companies can have sweat shops in China to have record profit "margins." Buy American, save our country. This is the first review in over 150 that I can say, "Made in the USA."

Clearly Quality and Made for Professionals as Advertised

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019

UPDATE 4/22/2023: Been about 3 1/2 years and this thing is still going strong. Staying nice and sharp. I've noticed getting my hair cut down the street that some of the barbers use these as well. If this breaks I'm definitely buying the exact same one again if it's still around.
____________________________
My main goal for my hair is just in beard/stubble trimming. I am not a professional and I don't cut my own hair. The goal for my trimmers is that they provide reasonably close trimming on the sensitive skin of my face, since I can't use a regular razor. Also, I want something that is quality, and I would rather spend more for something that lasts. My last requirement is that the trimmer be wireless. With that as the background:

The first trimmer I ever bought worked surprisingly well for being so cheap, about $35. It was a ConairMAN HC1100R. Holds a charge well, powerful motor, close-enough shave for the neck area. Only problem is the mechanism for tapering the blade would break after months of going back and forth between neck and face (adjusting for longer length on the face). This caused the blade to become unstable, loud, and cut poorly. I've been through three of these things, and when my third one just broke in October of 2019 despite being purchased in February, I decided I needed to move on.

In a hurry I purchased the Wahl 8290 which I have nothing bad to say about because I never used it. My genius self didn't bother to realize it's not cordless.

I next jumped on the GOOLEEEN hair clippers, cordless, LED display, IPX7 waterproof, and advertised as "professional." Long story short, the motor sounds and feels weak, the cutting mechanism is half plastic, and the thing was immediately tugging out my hair even in already short and not very dense facial hair.

After a bit more research, I decided to try the ConairMAN Super Stubble, also with a waterproof rating. This one has a pre-attached motorized guard that you can adjust digitally. I can't believe I spent $112 on this thing. The motor feels weak and cheap, and the whole unit feels a little cheap. The guard itself is a nice try at innovation but something about it made it take waaaay more passes to evenly cut my facial hair, like I've ever experienced before. And no matter how many passes I did take, it still never quite felt like I was done. Also, that tiny motor that adjusts the guard seems like it will be the first thing that breaks, which is crazy because one of the "features" of the device is that the motor automatically returns the guard to a preset length when you turn the device off, and then returns yet again to whatever length you were using previously once you turn it back on. Meaning there are a ton of unnecessary movements of the motor that are only going to ensure it's the first thing to go. The only positive thing I can say is that when you flip the guard back and just use the blade without the guard, you get a pretty close cut, so close it actually cut my skin a little bit but nothing terrible.

After doing even more research, watching more youtube videos, etc., I finally landed on this, the Wahl 8148. At about $30 less than the Super Stubble, I'm very happy. I'd be happy even if it were the same price as the Super Stubble. The motor feels strong (though it seems to be comparably louder than some other nice professional models I saw reviewed). The unit feels sturdy, and the blades make quick and even work of my facial hair just like my first Conair. I also like that, unlike all the other models I tried, the tapering bar for the blade operates on a smooth gradient, not large clicking progressions. Meaning you can be extra meticulous in your blending which seems extra useful when you're working with hair that's overall short to begin with. You can operate cordless or plugged in. Some reviews complain there's more power when the unit is plugged in, but in my opinion that's a feature, not a flaw. This means the unit can utilized the extra draw from the wall that you probably can't get from a lithium ion battery alone, if you need that extra power for whatever reason.

I expect this thing to easily provide years of reliable use and I will definitely be back to post an update if not.

I had a cheaper corded Wahl for years from Canadian Tire. It stopped cutting properly (probably because I never oiled it) so I went to Can Tire to buy a new one. Got one for 60 but returned it after looking online. This one is NIGHT AND DAY better than the old one! It is AMAZING to have a cordless, the charging works well, and it's quite small, lightweight (but still feels high quality) and cuts about 3 times quicker and cleaner than my old one. VERY accurate cuts, and I feel like a pro with this one. My kids think it's pretty cool looking as well. Don't hesitate, just buy it! NO trace of hairs on mine when I got it. Well packaged and came quickly. My old angled clips for by the ears fit this new machine as well.
