Do Not Buy Wahl Cordless Detailer Li ( before you watch this video)

In depth review and comparison of two of the hottest trimmers on the market!

[@joedabarber5127]

Bro I’m an andis guy, i have to confess. I just upgraded my 3 andis I, andis II & the Gtx corded trimmers with clear omnicord clear cases with the led switch, ceramic blade. After watching your Video I went onto Ebay and bought the Wahl Detailer. Thanks

[@jakec5618]

What do you think about these vs the corded versions? Are the cordless clippers/trimmers really as good as their corded versions? Thanks

[@gravydale]

How is the longevity on this product? I had a wahl cordless retro, which i loved, but after a few months it just stopped working after minimum personal use. Wouldn't charge and couldn't stay on for more than 10 seconds Left me weary about cordless wahl products. Any feedback over 6 months? Over a year? Etc

[@vk3nn728]

I do self cut ,So which is best for self cutting ?

[@cimbom007]

Would you really recommend to zero gap the Wahl Detailer Li

[@LEO-qw6lz]

First time watching your review and I gotta say you one of the best...you get right to it and you know ya know what you're talking about and based on your decision I'm purchasing the Detailers .

[@lpage601]

So if you knock down here with a balding clipper and then go back with the Andis cordless t outliner does it get it really close?

[@garoristic]

Is there a difference between the wahls corded & cordless detailer? Which between the two do you recommend for face shaving? I just need it to trim facial hair & i use the babyliss fx2 foil to clean it up

Excellent and very honest explaining, I´ve chosen a Wahl Cordless Detailer Li. I´m subscribed to you here. Now that I know that you are an experienced Barber, please let me know, in your opinion, what is the best Cordless Clipper that you recommend me to buy, please. I am writing to you from the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean area.

[@bbnCRLB]

Just got one. It looks solid to me. Made in Hungary. I haven't aligned it for zero-gap yet it worked well. I hope this one lasts longer and remains sharp for at least two years.

[@patrikpallos8438]

I have a WMARK with adjustable speed and battery display, very strong and robust. You can remove(drill or hit out) the plastic taps on the moving blade assembly (Looks like they purposefully have made a place for modification.), and replace it with an appropriate size nut and screw to adjust the gap... or get a Wahl blade.

That 5 star blade is the bomb hands down. I heard about the andis gtx blade but never use it, andis need to come back or else they will be left in the dark, but andis corded trimmer no doubt will blow away all other trimmer when its come to power and hit if you get the blade to set right. But what i do i use wahl 5 star for line up and andis corded for jaw and neck line because of power. Both my wahl and andis trimmer or corded, the wahl is the old version with 5 start t wide blade but is not powerful enough on neck and jaw but its sharp, but i love it. But i think i need on upgrade on the wahl trimmer, its my number one trimmer that's why.

I would like to get your opinion. I'm balding. Actually I've been balding for some time. I can't use razor blades because I'll break out in bumps. So, instead I use Andis trimmers and profoil lithium shaver. But I feel like they're not getting the job done. Which clippers do u recommend I use to get a clean bald shave?

[@fallguy6196]

Braun series 9 foil shaver. It's crazy powerful balds my head 3 times a week easily

[@markgray7249]

I've always had a problem with setting my blades right so they don't leave a scar line afterwards. I actually have both clippers and like you I prefer Detailers as well. The Detailers are the best one for shape ups because the lines are much cleaner. I haven't used a modifier on my blades as of yet. As far as adjustments the only thing I have done is to even the back and front blades on a flat surface and then tighten them back and the shape ups are hitting but after a day or two the shape up scar lines show up. Any suggestions Brah....?

The question i have is about the wahl Heroes , are they better than wahl detailers ?

[@lc4903]

They are the old detailer with new name. They have the original detailer blade while the new detailer has a T-wide blade which many prefer. The Hero is also only available corded. The best would be in my opinion the new Detailer LI and if you prefer a smaller blade you can purchase and replace T-wide type.

Awesome video. As for the Babyliss skeletonized trimmers, they are complete trash. I've had them for a month and a half and they are acting up. Sometimes they don't turn on when I hit the power slider, so I have to slide the power slider down and then up. That said, the most annoying thing about them, the loud noise. Damn these trimmers are loud when they get the tiniest particle of moisture, such as Coolcare or Clippercide. I've babied them and have not dropped them. I clean and oil them everyday and still, they drive me nuts. Worst purchase other than the Babyliss Gold FX clippers due to the glare that bounces off of them. I'm definitely thinking of buying these Detailers.
