Wahl Professional Corded Super Taper Hair Clipper with Adjustable Taper Lever | Powerful V5000 Motor for Bulk Removal & Tapering

Suite a la reception de la tondeuse, je me suis fait le même commentaire que "afro jojo", c'est a dire : Ce produit n'est pas original il n'y a pas la vignette qui certifie que le produit n'est pas une contrefaçon. J'ai donc contacté Amazon qui m'a renvoyé vers le vendeur, qui m'a lui même renvoyé vers Amazon. J'ai recontacté Amazon où on m'a indiqué qu'il n'y avait pas de contrefaçon envoyé par Amazon. (Réponse toute faite qui ne prouve rien !) J'ai donc décidé de contacter la marque Wahl. ([email protected]) J'ai envoyé des photos de l'emballage reçu par Amazon et ils m'ont indiqué que Wahl n'utilisé plus les vignettes depuis 3 ans et que mon produit était donc un original. Message de Wahl : Wahl Professional used to sticker it's packaging on the side like one of the above images however we stopped that process about 3 years ago. En résumé : - Tondeuse parait de trés bonne qualité. (Non testé, je modifierai mon commentaire après essai) - Wahl m'a répondu en moins d'une heure a mes emails. (Ce qui donne confiance en la marque) PS : J'ai reçu une prise Française et non Anglaise. Ca m'arrange, mais j'ai donc commandé un adaptateur pour rien. (Attention à ceux qui veulent une prise Anglaise)

First, a little on my personal experiences with clippers; feel free to skip ahead to the next paragraph for the real review. Now, I'm slowly going bald and I look stupid with hair beyond a certain length. I've accepted that, and have started cutting my own hair varying lengths of "short" regularly. For this purpose, I've owned close to half a dozen different trimmers/clippers with batteries and chargers, including three Remingtons and a Philips; one by one, they've all had something go wrong with them, whether a small yet vital plastic part breaking (which can't be bought off eBay for less than the whole trimmers's original cost) or usually the motor simply getting clogged with hair over time until it sounds like an asthmatic hamster running on a squeaky wheel. After getting utterly tired of the flashy chrome and black plastic covered monstrosities marketed with totally misleading ads such as these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m3SUHZUJV6A0HX/ref=ent_fb_link that feature CGI, generic energetic rock, engine sounds totally unrelated to the actual performance of the product, utterly false promises of "superior performance"and powerful motors, I'd had enough. I didn't want a clipper with pointless features such as USB charging and useless digital displays that would get clogged up after a year of moderate use. Hence, this review. I opted for a slightly more expensive option this time, the Wahl Super Taper; mains only, no useless battery (do you really need to cut your hair if you're not even in a place that has power?). It feels heavy in your hand like a professional tool is supposed to, and that weight is all motor. And what a motor it is - it's got the power to get through the dirtiest, thickest and wettest hair with a single pass without ever getting clogged or slowing down. It'll cut hair neatly and without tearing, going through it like a knife through hot butter. The device allows for ample adjustment, and with four separate guide combs and the ability to taper the length you can get any length up to 20mm or so. If you need to go longer, other guide combs are available. And they're all in quality nylon as opposed to hard plastic, meaning they're easy on the scalp (when properly directed) and are much less likely to break (and spares are widely available even if they do). The package contains little more than the device itself, the guide combs and a couple of regular combs and some oil. There are no pointless frills to this product; just a great clipper that should last you a lifetime. Given all that, £40 is a steal. So do yourself a favour: end the cycle of endless frutration with cheap battery-powered clippers and spend the £10-25 extra and get yourself something that just plain works.

Hair shaver was better than the one from other store

Lo uso da moltissimi anni. E' un prodotto ottimo, robusto e preciso. L'ho acquistato ricondizionato, solo la scatola aveva segni minimi di usura. La descrizione pero' non diceva che arriva da UK e quindi haspina Inglese. Meno male che ho in casa un adattatore, per cui nessun problema. MESSAGGIO PER AMAZON: troppo spesso le descrizioni su Amazon.it, a differenza degli altri siti internazionali, sono incomplete/affrettate/poco curate, per piacere state piu' attenti.

This Wahl SuperTaper replaced a much cheaper kit I bought years ago from a local store. For some reason I decided to upgrade, and after reading reviews, I settled on the Wahl. Good choice. More expensive, but for a reason: superior quality and cut. This comes with 4 modifiers for different length cuts, but I just use a #1 all over. My wife actually does the clipping every 10 days or so, and she appreciates the better performance. The older, cheaper model didn't get all the hair so she had to go over with scissors, chasing the recalcitrant hairs. No more. I haven't taken the blades off yet, to clean underneath, but I'm quietlty confident that I'll manage quite well. There are lots of instructions/videos online. Part of my upgrading included a proper hairdressers "cape" that protects clothes, and a big, soft hairdressers brush to clean the neck. Also excellent investments. And given the cost of even a #1 cut all over (outrageous!), this kit pays for itself very quickly. By the way, I don't know why it's called a "super taper"; it doesn't do anything differently to other clippers, just better.
