Best clippers I have owed if you cut your hair bald or short it’s the best at what it does great value for money highly recommended whal clippers have always been best at cutting black Afro hair.

This is a fantastic product. Exactly what I wanted.

I'm very pleased with the WAHL Balding hair clipper. It is a very close cut which is exactly what I need and on reflection, I wonder why I have only just discovered it given I've been shaving my head for the past 30 years. It is light weight and very ergonomic to handle compared to my previous WAHL clipper. The only downside is that I've noticed a hairline crack on the case but have decided to keep it as it works perfectly.

I gave this 4 stars cos there's no case or nothing with it. You don't want dust getting in these things so they need to be covered and you get nothing. The quality is good and you get a good close cut. If you want closer than this you need a razor and soap. It's easy on the skin for such a close cut. People say it's heavy, but that shows the quality. What do they want, light plastic feel. This feels good and does the job well. You get a good long cable. This is as good as you,l get for the money.

This clipper set is very very sharp if you use it with just the blade part it cuts your head. Very dangerous set of clippers. I am not even sure if these really are real Wahl clippers I think they might be knock off copies. I cant see Wahl producing these very sharp clippers that cut your head and make your head bleed.

I don't like the look or feel of a completely bald head. It's too shiny, hats slip off and you feel the cold more easily. And I get a nasty, itchy scalp when the hairs start to push back through the skin, leaving bumps that can't be shaved again for another week in case I get cuts. Over the past few years, I have bought several clippers and none of them cut shorter than 0.5mm. Now that's pretty short but when you are balding, you want to get it as short as you can but in my case, without shaving it all off. I resorted to using the Babyliss I-Trimmer, which is supposed to be for stubble but at 0.4mm (supposedly) was the best thing I could find. I then discovered that using the beard trimmer on my Panasonic shaver, gave me the closeness I desired. However, using a small, flimsy and poorly positioned beard trimmer to shave your head, is a cumbersome and time-consuming operation! The Wahl Balding Clipper gives the same closeness as the trimmer but with none of the hassle. Some reviewers complain of cuts - this is virtually impossible if you set the blades up correctly. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! My clipper was actually not cutting short enough for my liking when I first tried it. So I loosened the two screws behind the blades and re-aligned them so that it was almost at 0.0. It was a bit fiddly re-positioning the blades but I won't ever have to do it again, as I now have the perfect close shave. Literally less than 5 mins to do my whole head - no mess, no cuts, no rash, very little noise and as close as you can get without a wet shave. I cannot recommend this highly enough, only wish I'd known about it years ago. Got mine from Sahara Beauty - said would take 3-5 days, got it NEXT DAY! Also recommended!

I find this really effective when used without the guards for getting a very close cut. Used without guards it will not shave you completely bald and will leave some growth. If you want closer to the skin you will probably need to use a manual razor. Maybe I was lucky in that my set of these clippers came with the blades aligned but I have had no issues with skin getting cut and have not needed to adjust anything. I do oil the blades regularly though. I was initially going to take a star off as the clipper is heavy and you can feel the vibration through it so cutting your own hair with it takes a little bit of effort in terms of manoeuvring the clipper around your head. But it does feel powerful and does the job pretty well so I'm giving it 5 stars. Probably not a good idea though to use it on your face like a previous reviewer. By way of comparison I recently bought Wahl's cordless Lithium Power Clipper for a similar price which came with all sorts of dubious extras but which is totally inferior to the balding clipper in terms of actually cutting hair and also feels like a much cheaper clipper. So best to stick to the Wahl professional series as opposed to the home/domestic series (which have the cunning slogan "The Brand Used By Professionals" on the box).

I have been shaving my head with clippers for about 15 years. I started using cheaper "Home" clippers and I strongly advise that people avoid them as the motors/batteries are too weak so they slow down when cutting and pull at your hair. Also whilst they are fine for a mother cutting her kids hair a few times a year they don't tend to last very long when used at least once a week. In short they are a false economy so don't be tempted by the lower price and cordless capability. I upgraded from those to the Wahl Professional Super Taper clippers (white back) which are absolutely superb due to being designed to survive daily use with junky blades and a strong mains powered motor. These Balding clippers appear to be pretty much identical to the Super Tapers aside from blades. You get what appears to be the same case and the motor sounds similar and is powerful enough to glide through the thickest hair without pulling at the roots. Addressing some of the issues raised in previous reviews - I haven't noticed that it is any louder or prone to vibration than the Super Tapers. It could be those reviewers had a faulty product or were not familiar with the extra power you get from the industrial mains motor versus the cheaper "home" clippers. I also had no issues with razor burn. It was every bit as comfortable as the Super Tapers. In terms of results I believe this is as short as you will ever get your hair with a set of clippers. The only way to get closer is to use an electric foil shaver or a razor blade. It cuts noticeably shorter than the Super Tapers do on their closest setting. It isn't as close as a foil face shaver but it is a lot quicker. I'd say the results are closer to a foil face shaver than they are to the Super Tapers. Perhaps the same as a foil face shaver + 12 hours growth depending on how fast your hair grows. If you are someone that is half bald and trying to hide it then you might want to stick to a foil shaver/razors especially if you have dark hair like me as you will still have a "5 o clock shadow" after shaving with these. That being said, if you want to use a foil face shaver then using these balding clippers first would really speed up that job. For those that just want the fastest and closest cut possible from a pair of clippers these are the ultimate.
