For the past 10 years I have been cutting my own hair. I use it on a monthly basis and I usually use three guards. 13 for the sides, 25 for the top, and 19 for blending.

Until today I had a rechargeable machine which I can say had given me a hard time.

The purchase of the Wahl was a great upgrade for me and I truly believe it is a very good buy.

Very fast and clean haircut. No snagging at any point of the haircut. I didn't need to shake or stop cutting to clean the machine until my job was done.

I will agree with others that it vibrates quite a bit, but I can't find any negative in that and I don't think it's a reason to deter you from buying.

With good oiling and maintenance, I don't think there will be any problem.

The machine has two screws under the plate. Maybe from excessive use they loosen and create additional vibrations. Nothing that a loctite and a good screwing can't fix (I will come back to the subject in the future).

Also, the options for guards are much more than the other options out there. In my research before buying, most machines have 2-4 guards and not more. This one covers me perfectly.

Overall, for the money it costs, I don't think it's worth so much complaining. If you were paying 100€ I understand having expectations. Now with 20€ you shouldn't even bother to write a review.

20€ is one haircut outside...

After a very good experience with a 500GB hard drive from the same company, I decided to buy a 1TB one.

Everything was fine until now, almost a month since I got the hard drive. I transferred all the data from my other devices and hard drives and now I use them for other tasks and deleted some files so I don't have them duplicated.

I have stored my whole life and work on this disk! Thank God, I didn't delete all the data from the other hard drives/devices.

Suddenly today, 15/05/24, I connect the hard drive AND IT DOESN'T READ IT!!! I have tried everything, disconnected, connected again, tried, changed the socket, restarted the laptop, turned it off, waited for a few minutes, tried again and again. At some point, it read it! But it showed my files as corrupted!!! It couldn't open them!!!

I have had consecutive mental breakdowns and I can't digest the fact that I spent almost 3 days organizing all my data on this hard drive, deleting some data from my old devices!!!!

For almost half a day, the hard drive was useless! It made noises and mysterious sounds and I thought it was on its deathbed.... At some point, after HOURS! I stopped. I was sure that I lost everything.

I gathered my pieces, said a Thank God and wished for good health, but until the evening it was my only thought. What did I lose and from which devices...

In the evening, without any hope, and just for the heck of it, I connected it again... On the same laptop, in the same port, with the same socket...

EVERYTHING IS FINE!!! I started opening files one by one... Everything is perfect! I took the old 500GB Toshiba, formatted it, and transferred all the data.

The 1TB is functioning normally now. But my trust is lost forever...

Maybe it was a hardware glitch... which eventually worked out?

Honestly, I don't know what happened.

However, three stars because I went through all this trouble.
