There is a good chance that your barber uses some of the Wahl’s hair trimmers.

Features

Wahl’s Power Pro all in one grooming kit is currently one of the most wanted corded clippers on the market so we were curious as to how it would perform given its very attractive low price and a nice feature set. From the moment we opened the retail package we were pleasantly surprised with the amount of equipment that comes included.

The whole kit comes with one Power Pro model no. 9686 hair trimmer, a single stainless steel blade, detail trimmer, beard comb, cleaning brush, blade oil, storage case and an instruction manual available in English and Spanish language. There is one stubble, one medium and a full beard guide comb included. Users have a choice of 8 available clipper guide combs and they come in the range of 1/8 for the smallest up to 1 inch for the biggest comb guide in size.

These heavy duty corded trimmers come with stainless steel blades and the manufacturer specifies that they are made to last longer and stay sharp even with extensive use. The cord is long and doesn’t get tangled during use so it will provide plenty of movement range during hair trimming or beard grooming.

Seeing how the Power Pro clipper comes with 17 trimming length positions – it will come in handy for both hair and beard detailing. This provides plenty of freedom when it comes to different hairstyles users would want to try out.

Its compact size and streamlined body make handling the clipper a pleasure and we experienced no slips or balance issue when we were using it on a daily basis.
