Wahl ProfessionalCordless Designer Clipper #8591 – 90 Minute Run Time – Accessories Included

Muy buen producto exelente maquina buena potencia corta super bien

Note: I am not a professional, but an at home user wanting the benefits of pro level equipment.These clippers have plenty of power, which is not a surprise considering it’s the same clipper internally as the wahl cordless magic clip and cordless sterling 4, both highly praised by professionals. I used this primarily as a beard trimmer to maintain a short stubble style beard under 3mm for which it worked perfectly. My only complaint with the designer is the build quality, it’s mostly plastic and does feel a bit cheap but nothing that is a dealbreaker for me, the magic clip and sterling share very similar plastic bodies. This was only an issue for because of the noise the plastic top housing made sometimes when adjusting my grip or holding it a bit tighter, the body would creak and make noises as the plastic moved around. Again not a deal breaker but spending around $80 you’d hope this wouldn’t come up. For transparency I returned this item not for this reason but wanting a different style clipper and have now returned to the cordless magic clip, and the magic clip at least initially doesn’t creak and make the noises I experienced with the designer. But the price difference I feel for most people will make up for this.ALSO anyone noticing hair or signs of use when first receiving wahl clippers, there is a notice packaged with the user manual that very clearly explains the quality control testing that is likely responsible for many of these negative reviews. This is not deny that there may be cases of buyers receiving repackaged returns, but I suspect many see residue from Wahl QC testing and assume they received used clippers.

I have male pattern baldness. Few things irked me more then going to the barber and paying to get my hair cut. I swear I think they'd stand behind me and clip the scissors together a few extra times just so I'd think I was getting my money's worth. Five to ten minutes TOPS and I'd be out the door having paid exactly as much as the hairy schmuck in the chair next to me - took 2 or 3 times longer to cut HIS friggin' hair! So, I'd previously bought a Braun Head & Beard trimmer and started cutting my own hair. It was cheaper and lighter and smaller then these trimmers. It wasn't bad but the battery life wasn't great and they didn't have great power, I had to go over everything repeatedly to get everything cut evenly. Sometimes I had to plug them back in to finish the job. They also didn't do a great job of trimming the back of my neck closely.These trimmers are better in every way. I use the #1 guide with the trimmer set to zero gap and buzz everything down in record time! Cuts evenly and quickly. I use a neck trimming guide, "Quality Time Neck Hair Line" (purchased here on Amazon) to finish up the back close enough to shaving close to call it a wash. Overall I couldn't be happier. I cut my own hair every 2 or 3 weeks or so and have only recharged this thing a few times - the battery seems to last forever. If you're in my situation, don't compromise like I did and struggle with a cheaper pair. Get what the professionals use and never pay for another haircut again!

So this is the second Wahl cordless designer clippers I purchased within the last year. I bought them first about 10 months ago and I needed to replace them already but I'm still giving 4 stars. The reason I had to replace them is because the charging port somehow got messed up and I can't get them to charge. But when they did charge, I loved them! I love that they are rapid recharge and they never died on me once! (Until the charge port messed up). I cut on average 15 to 20 haircuts a day and so the battery life and rapid recharge was fantastic. They are a little loud at first but they are so light weight that I literally cannot use any other clippers without it hurting my arm and or neck or back. I have been cutting hair for years now and last year I pinched a nerve in my back, these were the only clippers I could use. I am paying a little more now than before but it still beats the hell out of paying 200 or more for other cordless ones. I don't love love that I only got 10 months of use out of them but again for the price and how they saved my back, I'm not really that upset about it. I hope this helps!

I freaking LOVE these clippers! I previously used the Wahl sterling Super Taper II, which are clippers my fiancé bought me because I needed some. (Also kind of a hair school Grad present.) And they were fine but my switch stopped working after about a year and a half or so. I'm a hairstylist now so obviously I needed new ones ASAP. I bought these after comparing them with quite a variety of other clippers and reading plenty of reviews, but I'm so glad I decided on these!I haven't been a hairstylist long, so I know I don't have much in terms of comparison but they make a world of difference on the floor. First of all, I can cut quite a bit faster because not only do I not have to deal with a cord, but also they are a thousand times lighter than my Sterlings. I would never have realized I was previously holding what felt essentially like a brick until I tried these.They cut like butter, or at least much better and smoother than my old ones. I'm able to go through a lot of hair with no problem so long as I go slow enough. My Sterlings would complain and I'd have to go through the same patch of hair a few times or at least go over with an 8 guard before moving on to the actual cut.I'm very happy with my purchase. Also, they came fully and professionally packaged. I can't comment on the shipping because I paid for the fastest shipping possible so I obviously got them quickly. I highly reccomend these!

life of clipper is not made for high volume client use and blades go dull very fast. good for home use.
