Wahl Groomsman Bump-Prevent Shaver & Trimmer Review
EDIT: The picture is now correct.Here's my thorough review. It is based on the description and picture on the site as of the submittal of the review. Subsequent changes may be made to the site. First, the model 9906-1647 is actually the GMAN series. That is what I received. It is black.
It comes with three attachments, none of which are adjustable - stubble, 1/8 inch, and 3/16 inch. No adjustable attachment as pictured at top. The attachments are very difficult to remove. They are useless. All three pull hair like crazy. They are also only meant to be used at a precise angle, otherwise the hair is cut at differing lengths. That makes this model useless for any purpose other than that unshaved look that I so adore, achieved with no attachments. That's why I bought this. But I do have sideburns, so good attachments would have been useful. The no pull, no snag guarantee* is for the blades only, and only applies with new or fully-charged battery usage for the first year. If it pulls when the batteries are low, change the batteries. No problems with that, so far. --Notice reviews for other Wahl products with one-star ratings. No comments from Wahl when customers complain about attachments pulling hair. This leads me to believe it is fairly typical for many models (not a defect but a design flaw). Look to see if there are any comments from Wahl below. It would be nice if I could get attachments that actually work and don't pull hair or cut unevenly, but I assume there are none that exist. Otherwise, I expect comments from Wahl below.--
This model also requires 3 AA batteries (that's right, three) instead of the two stated in the description. A clear vinyl ribbon is included to strap to the first battery inserted and used to pull the second and first out when batteries need replacing. This ribbon broke on my first attempt to remove the two batteries. It's vinyl, for crying out loud. The batteries are very snug and difficult to remove. I felt the vinyl stretch and stretch, knowing full well what was likely coming. That's why I tried to remove them right after inserting them. --I'm using rechargeables in my unit, BTW.-- I am now using electrical tape wrapped around each of the two batteries (both are taped individually) in the same fashion as the original ribbon (the sticky sides are touching each other with no sticky exposed) in order to remove them without resorting to using a butter knife or similar item. Still a difficult task. The third battery is installed last and is fairly easy to remove.
The storage base does hold everything (except the blade oil) albeit loosely, if you play around a little with the arrangement (this is not the case with my GMAN T-blade model - same base, different size attachments, all of those pull as well, but are much easier to remove as they use a different method of attaching). I wouldn't carry the base and all from one room to another without expecting falling pieces. My blade oil (which has no place in the storage base) came in a small, standup, screwtop bottle rather than the tube pictured, and I'm glad of it. The tube can be messy, even after it is closed.
I am using this as a replacement for the GMAN T-blade rechargeable model 9920. The battery on that model is easily overcharged if forgotten about, which I did several times, after which the battery barely trimmed my neck without needing to be recharged. You cannot simply use it while plugged in either, which left me having to wait for a charge before I could finish (several hours, at least). I just finished up with my Conair. I could have bought another battery for [...] bucks (with shipping), but probably would have overcharged that one, too. This unit I use with regular rechargeable batteries which cannot over-charge with my Duracell value charger. The best part is that I can use regular alkaline if I lose my charge in the middle of a trim (or another set of rechargeables). God help me if it comes to that, considering how hard it is to remove batteries. I can also use the T-blade on this by replacing the standard blade with it (though this one is actually more efficient, so far).
This trimmer gives a closer trim than similar from Conair. I still use my Conair for my sideburns. It has adjustable attachment that is precise at all angles and never pulls a hair on my head. For my personal usage, this model is passable, but I would have preferred a 2 battery unit (easier recharging of batteries since my charger only charges 2 or 4 at a time). I'll buy another set of batteries so I always have a backup since I'm using two in my camera. If you can stand the two to four-day unshaved look as opposed to the one to two-day look, may I suggest any of the Conair models available over this, especially for those with varying lengths of facial hair, such as mustache, beard, goatee, sideburns. Though I can't vouch for their strength as my hair is not that thick.
Bluntly stated, you would be wise to avoid this trimmer altogether for anything other than that one to two-day unshaved look.
