Wahl Vacuum Trimmer Kit with Powerful Suction for Beards, Facial Hair, Stubble, Nose, & Ear Hair Clipping – Lithium Ion Powered Electric Trimmer with 22 Individual Cutting Lengths– Model 9870-100

Works great! I am absolutely satisfied with this trimmer. I bought this to replace my Norelco 7000 series vacuum trimmer. I loved the Norelco, but the head kept breaking due to poor design with the plastic tabs that secure it in place. I had mine replaced under extended warranty three times in three years. Not knocking it obviously since I used it so long, I really liked it. Decided to try this one and am much happier so far. It seems to be a much better design and the vacuum is just as good, if not better. I use it primarily to shave my head weekly just like I did with the Norelco. It gets it down as close as the Norelco did and the vacuum works well. Take the reviews of the sub par vacuum function with a grain of salt. They are unrealistic. Those reviewers want a trimmer that will not leave one single hair to be cleaned up! It doesn’t exist. If I can shave my head weekly, while standing at my bathroom sink, without getting hair on the floor, and getting “some” hair in the sink, I’m good! As I said, great product so far.

At 70 I have tried a lot of trimmers & got hooked on vacuum ones. Always had a longer beard when younger but now a very well maintained short one. Last trimmer died & decided to try a well known brand like Whal. The price was good but didn’t need all the attachments but that’s ok. Read the reviews doing my man research & decided to give it a try.Got my trimmer & lots of parts so I sorted them out. Took out #1 & #2 combs also the adjustable & safety cover. After trying a #3 I decided 1 & 2 were where I needed to be. Being very careful how I changed these different things on the trimmer became easy. I did find that the adjustable comb didn’t lock in as well as it should & needs a stronger spring.But being a machinist & toolmaker for 43 years I have to say I’m very impressed with the fit of the attachments & also the priceThese negative & low responses just just show you didn’t take the time to figure things out & broke thingsI would recommend this trimmer & oh yea great vacuum

For the most part, this is a great trimmer! It's light-weight, cuts well, and the vacuum is amazing! I've used a Norelco with a vacuum previously and the vacuum on this trimmer is vastly superior! It left very, very little hair behind. I used to not like to trim my beard unless I was going to get in the shower right after so I could wash off all the stubble. That's not a problem with this trimmer. There wasn't even much stubble on the counter and sink. It cut fast and even. The shape and weight make it easy to hold. Throw out the adjustable guard and use the static guards. The adjustable guard didn't stay locked in and could have easily led to a beard disaster! The carrying case is kind of cheap and cheesy. The instructions are weak too but you should read them. Overall, a very good product, I highly recommend it!

Wish I'd spent the extra $ few years ago. I will use it instead of shaving 2 or 3 times a week. Only used once with short stubble. Vacuum worked well. Will update when use few more times. The Remington I was using lasted 2 years before got too dull. Highly recommended, self sharpening great feature.Update: Have been using about 5 weeks now. I haven't put a towel over the sink, vacuum is working great.UPDATE January 15th 2021: Still happy with this trimmer. Use it 2 or 3 times a week instead of shaving still. Staying isolated for the virus and wearing masks to town. Don't have to shave, the mask covers any short stubble. Vacuum still works great. When I clean out the plastic collector. Just blow out trimmings so I don't open it. My thinking is it will last longer and hinge won't break.

I ordered this when my Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer failed after probably ten years of reliable service. It was the old NiCad battery that failed. The unit itself was near perfect. This Wahl is the closest replacement I could find but it's a poor second place. It took me more than an hour just to do initial familiarity and assembly. This unit has multiple difficult to assemble plastic combs (and one difficult to adjust adjustable comb) of various lengths as opposed to the T980 which has a simple single comb with a built-in rotary wheel to adjust length of cut. The Wahl also has a narrower cutting head than the T980. This is my initial observations and I will update with actual use of the Wahl, but already missing my T980. Wondering why Philips didn't just update old NiCad to newer batter technology. Update: 9-15-20: Same as above; very difficult to use if you use the combs. They are difficult to get in place and then they easily fall off during use. So miss my old T980 Philips Norelco.
