Wahl USA Stainless Steel Lithium-Ion Cordless Beard Trimmer for Men - Rechargeable All in One Men's Beard Trimmer with Rotary Ear & Nose Trimmer, & Detail Trimmer - Model 9818A

I've had a goatee or beard ever since 1995, so I've owned various cordless trimmers over the years. I've liked the Wahl's trimmers the best, but they have all died after 5+/- years - usually the batteries have stopped holding a charge. I like a neat & precise trim, so having to find a new trimmer I like is always a nuisance, because some permit a closer more accurate trim than others. After reading all the reviews for the various trimmers with 4 stars or more on Amazon, & checking out the reviews on a couple of other sites as well, I decided on the Wahl 9818 All-In-One Lithium Ion. I confess that I usually buy cheaper models, but decided to go up-scale a little this time to see if the quality would justify the additional cost.The 9818 arrived a couple of days ago & so far it has surpasses every model I've ever had before. It is simply outstanding & even has a professional feel to it. The solid metal body is comfortable & all the various clipper heads seem well-designed & work perfectly.I especially like that it's American made; the body is stainless steel; the T-blade, & all the blades are stainless steel & are easily removable; the other heads interchange easily; the rotary nose trimmer performs better than my Panasonic unit; the LED on the on/off button indicates when it's charging & starts blinking when the battery is low; the multiple trimmer guides provide a wide selection regarding closeness of trim; & the motor is relatively quiet & performs very well. I'm able to get a neat, precise, & accurate trim.What I don't like is that the shaver cannot be used while charging - not a big deal as the led light flashes when the battery is low, there is a "quick charge", & the battery, when fully charged - seems to lasts a relatively long time. The battery should be replaceable. The trimmer guides could have been made out of a little better grade of plastic. Another annoyance is the little plastic plug that's in the base when you receive it, don't lose it - you'll need that for traveling to prevent the trimmer from turning on & draining your lithium ion battery - I had to retrieve it out of the recycling bin after reading the manual!The pluses more than outweigh the minuses and thanks to all the reviews I read I knew about them before the purchase, so still give it 5 stars. The Wahl 9818 is well designed & built. I was looking for a better trimmer & it seems I've found it. I highly recommend it.

I recently got this newer model Wahl stainless steel beard trimmer after using the previous model for 8+ years! This is the best trimmer for keeping your beard and hair groomed. The battery lasts a long time, and the cordless design makes it super convenient. The new charging port is a huge upgrade from the older model. The only down side with the newer model is you no longer get a number 8 dedicated guard with it. I found some additional guards that fit this style trimmer https://amzn.to/3FiAUde and contain some larger sizes and they've been great. If you need a reliable trimmer this is the one to get. Highly recommend!

Update....I change my rating of this product to a five-star now because the company did make amends for the lost money order. I want to thank them very much for what they did and that's why I'm changing my rating. I forgot I even wrote this review until I just noticed it today. So I figured I better change the rating now since I noticed it here. I have the new head for the shaver and it works like a charm. As I say this is always been a good shaver,it was just a misunderstanding with the company.all is good and thank you again for everything!!! :-)Original review below.....I have to give this Shaver Kit the lowest rating I can because of the company's incompentency!! First off this shaver does NOT include the foil shaver heads. Granted, I knew that PRIOR to ordering this shaver kit . But that wasnt the issue. I didnt think it was going to be a problem ordering the extra heads direct from the WAHL company itself as they said I COULD with no problem!!I emailed them and they gave me all the info that I needed to order the heads direct from them and thier prices was literally HALF the cost of what third part sellers on Amazon were selling them for. I asked WAHL if i could send them a money order since they DID NOT have any Amazon acount to purchase from or else i would have ordred from thier Amazon store. But they DIDNT. so i had to send them a money order!. As i say they gave me all the information to order them.. SO i sent them a money order on NOVEMBER 8th. Money order was purchased on the 8th and sent out same day!.It was total of 20.95 for two heads and shipping cost.Now mind you this letter only had to go from Northern NY to Conneticut. The letter was supposedly delivered with in that week. But they litterally LOST it in thier company. It has been OVER a MONTH now and it still has NOT been cashed as of yet ...so I guess that shouldnt be an issue, right? .. It isnt like i am out the money ..... But YEAH in away i am because i called the place i got the money order from and they said that it will cost me 15$ initital fee to get a refund. So all i would be getting back is $5.95Now to me that is NOT worth it at all!!! But a friend of mine said he WOULD actually get the refund just to be satisfied that the money order wasnt going to be cashed later from someone at WAHL company and pocketing it. Granted he made a VERY GOOD point because WHO knows what they would do once i completely write it off and forgot all about it. Boom they cash it and put the 20 bucks in thier pocket.But here's the clicker, i would have to get YET ANOTHER money order for the initial of $15 just to send back to the actuall HQ of the Money Order Company just to get a refund and stop payment on the first money order!!!.. Yeah and watch that one get lost too??? Now I ask you all.... what would you do?!?! I guess someone from WAHL is making a nice $20.95 tip from me!!!
