Wahl Professional 8685 Peanut Classic Clipper/trimmer - US 110 VOLT - TRANSFORMER REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL USE

Product Information

Note that blades molded with ceramic, titanium, or chrome are stronger, stay sharper longer, and do not heat up. For professional barbers who do close to 15 haircuts in a day, the fast-heating stainless steel blades in the Peanut may pose some inconveniences, right? Also, please remember that, despite the fact that you’ve never had a problem with your Wahl Peanut, there are some customers who’ll experience pulling and snagging. Much more easily said than done. I am extremely mechanically orientated and have tried three times to sharpen them. They are almost useless (Wahl animal Pro Series) after only two cuts.

I have reviewed a lot of trimmers and clippers over the years and what I reach for the most is the Brio Beardscape. Hands down the best trimmer/clippers I have ever laid my hands on. So many options in hair cutting lengths, more than any other trimmer/clippers. Plus it is powerful and cordless and is a serious tool. Brio states this is the last trimmer you will ever need and I 100% agree. My favorite trimmer and I highly recommend it. The Brio Beardscape blows away the Wahl Peanut in every field.Powerful!!! For such a small and compact clipper it sure is powerful and hums right along with anything that is thrown at it. Wahl’s Peanut professional hair trimmer comes with a powerful rotary motor. Translated, this means you get the smoothest of the three hair cutter motor types (the others being the pivot and the magnetic motor.) Rotary motors score high in both blade speed and power, last longer, and are generally considered top notch. Without a guard the Peanut can be used as an edger around the beard. Just settle on a spot where you want the edge of the beard and then point the blade perpendicular to the skin. Basically, it can be used at a 90° angle for this. Go around the whole perimeter of the beard.

If you are used to using a cordless trimmer the cord can be cumbersome and get in the way. Worthy of noting.The blade is sharp and has no problem cutting any hair. It is very lightweight and highly maneuverable. Great for problem areas like around the ears, under the nose, and around the mouth. It works great in these areas. A solid little trimmer.

Being the all-around amazing electric trimmer it is, the Peanut still suffers from a few disadvantages which we will also discuss here in this Wahl Peanut review. The main one would be its tendency to pull hair from time to time. I’m not saying you’ll experience this 100%, but – maybe due to its size, this Wahl trimmer does “chew” on strands. On the other hand, its blades work awesomely when it comes to trimming and maintaining short haircuts. This comes with 4 guide combs #1 (1/8″), #2 (1/4″), #3 (3/8″), and a #4 (1/2″). Where You Can Use It On Your Body I like to use a can of compressed air to blow the hair out from the crannies where the brush can’t reach. But because this trimmer works better for light clipping and trimming, I’d say it’s enough to get the job done.I wanted to love this device more than I do. Although it is a solid little device with tons of power I want more options as far as cutting the length of hair than what Wahl gives you in this Peanut. If you just want a solid small trimmer with limited options maybe this is right for you but for me, I want more. I believe this would last years as every Wahl trimmer I have owned has lasted for many many years and I believe the Peanut would last for many years too. For some cutting length diversity, you will receive 4 Wahl guards (from 1/8″ to 1/2″ in size.) You’ll also fetch a red blade guard, Wahl cleaning brush, clipper oil and the instructions for the Peanut clipper. Please note that despite it having a decently powerful motor, this clipper is not recommended for heavy-duty work. Our top selling professional trimmer has gone cordless! Cut the cord with this lightweight, detachable blade trimmer. The Wahl Cordless Peanut is a compact, versatile rotary motor powered tool! KEY FEATURES Then pop on a guard to trim down the beard to the length you like. It comes with four different plastic comb guards which with the longest leaving your beard ½ an inch and the shortest leaving it ⅛ of an inch.

I love seeing any kind of blade guard provided with a trimmer, as this helps protect against accidental damaging your blade during storage or travel. Accessories – It comes with 4 plastic guards from size 1/8 to 1/2. Sadly, the Wahl Peanut doesn’t have longer guards. So, if you would like to leave the hair longer than ½ an inch, you’d have to use the old trimmer-over-comb technique. I am also used to having a wider blade length especially for cutting hair. Another shortcoming of the Peanut is it has a narrower blade length. The blade is only 1 1/4″ inches wide while most clippers are 1 5/8″ inches wide. Thereby you are losing 3/8″ of an inch and this translates to a longer haircut as you are not able to cut the same amount of hair with a smaller blade. This does translate to a positive when using it on your face. As the smaller blade is easier to maneuver and you can trim more precisely as opposed to a wider blade. When it comes to hair trimming, the Peanut guarantees crisp, sharp, and easy trims and hairline designs to ensure you get the perfect finish. The Peanut’s size can also be a disadvantage if you have big hands. To some people, hair clippers and trimmers should feel solid when holding them. Getting a good grip yields easier, more comfortable results.In fact, it’s one of the best hair trimmers on the market due to its lightweight, miniature, and ergonomic nature.
