    I have this and personally top notch.. the issues you read about ppl complaining about the power button being hard to turn on/off is BS… learn to be abit gentle and use the item and no issue… nice wide cuts and stubble is very good :)

    • josepet on 05/06/2016 - 15:47

      Is it completely washable? I mean, can u use it in the shower?

      • tomlut on 05/06/2016 - 16:10

        No

      The power button is definitely not great, but its also not a big issue.

      Also:
      Battery is great.
      Closest guide doesnt cut close enough

      However, I have one and would recommend it.

      The power button on mine stays on and wont switch off.

    • spg on 05/06/2016 - 19:50

      I've had mine for just over 2 years, for the last 3 months I've had real problems with the power switch, like a lot of the reviewers on Amazon. When it works it's great, but be prepared to be without it for servicing or spend a bit of time on it yourself pulling it apart completely for a thorough internal clean. I wouldn't buy another one.

    Hey fellas,
    I have had this for about three years now. Has never skipped a beat. The battery life is awesome and the motor is really good, for someone like me - very strong beard hair. Highly recommend.

  • swifty7 on 05/06/2016 - 13:57

    I need to comment on this. Have had one of these for about 4 years, and they are simply the best purchase ever. I bought it at full price form shaver shop, but don't regret it one bit. If you are in the market for something like this, definitely buy it! It's the ultimate body hair trimmer.

      Sack, crack and back?

        Sack = slightly dangerous. Crack = No Issues. Back = No hair for me ;)

        • supnigs super skids on 05/06/2016 - 15:34

          It comes with various length guards. Use an appropriate length guard and you would have no problems 11/10

    Looks good.. Thanks OP

    • swifty7 on 05/06/2016 - 14:13

      The Philips appears to be specifically a beard trimmer where as this is a complete groomer. Comes with all attachments so you can trim your head and body hair, along with the attachments for your facial hair, nose hair etc. This is much more universal and a very solid build.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/06/2016 - 14:31

        Thanks for the feedback swifty.. Might go ahead with the Wahl.

  • ozy on 05/06/2016 - 14:02

    Purchased OP.
    Had $20USD credit on amazon which made the deal super sweet!
    Thanks

  • Powershopz on 05/06/2016 - 14:18

    I bought one of these last Christmas for ~$130. Well worth it if you have a beard. Quick and easy to use, lots of different guide combs to get your desired style.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/06/2016 - 14:29

      $130 from Amazon or Shaver Shop? Been waiting for it to come on special locally but doubt it will ever go on special..

      • Powershopz on 05/06/2016 - 15:34

        Local. It was slightly discounted at shaver shop last Xmas.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/06/2016 - 20:11

          Slightly? It's $169 in there

  • ilikeit on 05/06/2016 - 14:30

    I have one too. Battery goes for ever…. Also, build it top notch.

  • promethbastard on 05/06/2016 - 14:38

    Wahl are the brand most hair salons use as they are that good. Well worth it.

  • flatwhitepls on 05/06/2016 - 14:39

    Ordered!! I have been looking exactly for this a little while now. Thanks a lot OP. Its currently for sale at shavershop for $130AUD.

    • TheElderLegend on 05/06/2016 - 14:53

      Is it really? When I checked this morning, ShaverShop's website still said $169AUD…weird

      • flatwhitepls on 05/06/2016 - 16:16

        In shop/walk in there is sale atm.

    "beard" trimmer

    • TheElderLegend on 05/06/2016 - 14:54

      Haha you make a good point, I should change that

  • themightyboost on 05/06/2016 - 14:52

    May be a dumb question, but does this shaver "catch" trimmed hair?
    I had an old trimmer that would catch hair (sort of like a lawn mower, you need to empty it) and after using my new one where I must lean over the sink I really miss the old one.

    • TheElderLegend on 05/06/2016 - 15:28

      I haven't used it yet, but from the description and pictures, I'm pretty sure it doesn't catch hair unfortunately

    • justtoreply on 05/06/2016 - 17:17

      No, it doesnt. Hair everywhere.

  • elektron on 05/06/2016 - 14:53

    I presume it's multi-voltage?

    • parcus on 05/06/2016 - 15:18
      +1

      It has a tick under 'worldwide voltage' so I'm assuming yes.

      edit: oh and it mentions dual voltage under 'about the product'.

    • justtoreply on 05/06/2016 - 17:18
      +1

      Yes (I have one and it's imported from Amazon US)

  • freakitude on 05/06/2016 - 14:53

    thanks op. bought one.

  • jesho on 05/06/2016 - 15:19

    Picked one of these up from Costco when I was in the states last year. Heard amazing things but I found the lowest cut wasn't close enough for neck/jaw line. Granted I have a thick beard with curly hair. Just my 2c. Using a pretty standard Philips now, gives a reasonably close cut but costs about a quarter of the price.

    • easternculture on 05/06/2016 - 15:27

      i also have a Cordless Philips one i bought from vitacost for $20 4 years ago. Still going strong.

      • Jackson on 05/06/2016 - 15:42

        Which Philips one do you have EC? I've been looking for one and figured TGG with 20% off should get me over the line, didn't really want to spend $90 but did need it to do my whole head.

        • Matt88 on 05/06/2016 - 17:08

          Also interested in details of the Phillips model

        • rexstar on 05/06/2016 - 22:52

          @Matt88: I've got the Philips BT7220. I'm reasonably happy with it and the vacuum means less of a mess. It's a bit tedious cleaning the vaccum compartment out and the attachment clips look a bit flimsy. Battery life is very good and doesn't need to be charged often. It only seems to be available at ShaverShop but their customer service is excellent.

    • justtoreply on 05/06/2016 - 17:18

      Agree.. lowest cut isnt low enough.

  • S-Hart on 05/06/2016 - 15:32

    I picked this one up a few years back at Target in the US for $49, back when the dollar was around parity. Worth every penny then, and if you're in the market, worth every penny at this price too. Has never skipped a beat. Love it.

  • ssjgesus on 05/06/2016 - 16:55

    I recently purchased the 9864 is much more than this.
    http://www.amazon.com/Wahl-Lithium-Stainless-Trimmer-9864/dp…

    I think its an updated version of the 9818 but i can't confirm this

    found it via http://malegroomings.com/the-best-beard-trimmer

    It does pull hairs initially but after a few uses it seems to have stopped and now works very well.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/06/2016 - 18:33

      correct, exact same shaver just different accessories and colour

    • parcus on 05/06/2016 - 18:36

      Looks like the only difference over this is the black colour and the addition of a dual foil attachment.

  • j4ck on 05/06/2016 - 17:10

    Have one. Definitely recommend it!

  • leftspeaker2000 on 05/06/2016 - 17:17

    Purchased. I need this to do my manscaping. I will probably add a whole inch to my perceived manhood.

  • nandystam on 05/06/2016 - 17:38

    How short can you trim the hair (well, what's left of it) on your head?

    I have a VS iClip and that only goes as low as 3mm.

    Beware that Wahl australia wont warranty any parts of these unit if its not bought in Australia, I bought this unit from Amazon and the power button plays up and doesnt switch off, and contact them and they wont do anything to help with it.

  • Ozjoey on 05/06/2016 - 18:09

    Reading the Amazon reviews this product has 1 star (18% of users). Something to be noted.

    Found a video of the power button not turning off as well.

  • wako on 05/06/2016 - 18:16

    I bought this from shaver shop jus t before Xmas,
    They had a try for 60days and if not happy send back

    Well I sent it back whilst was a reasonable shaver it wasn't worth the $180 price tag..

    $90 not to bad tho

  • DryScissors on 05/06/2016 - 18:25

    Thanks OP. My old one just started rusting. Great timing!

  • [Deactivated] on 05/06/2016 - 18:34

    Purchased one of these when i was living in states, after going through so many remingtons and "i-trimmers" nothing has compared to this model, ive not had any issues with the power button, but must note that whilst plugged into charger the shaver cant be used

    3 comments on this

    1 as it's completely SS with no rubber grip it tends to be a bit slippery to grip
    2 the unit i bought last year crapped out as the charging port got a dodgy connector after about 6 months
    3 I found my unit pulled the hairs on my chin often when I was trimming…

    FWIW I found the sasson units lower build quality less battery life but as good at cutting and cheaper

    • Last Seen on 05/06/2016 - 18:56

      Fair comments

      On point 1, agree, though it's actually an improvement over their previous model with rubber grip. It's rubber grip was a hair magnet… Only way to remove it was a heavy brush or wet wipes.

    • scar4ace on 06/06/2016 - 12:22

      Yep mine crapped out within year, dodgy charging port. Purchased from US so no warranty here. Very expensive lesson, pulled out my old itrimmer (going on 6 years now) and still thinks it does as good a job.

      Don't be fooled by the made in USA and sleek looks. It's a product which has its issues. Power button was fiddly too. But now it just doesn't charge, tried another charger no dice.

  • infinite on 05/06/2016 - 18:53

    I picked up one of these when it was on sale for $105 (AU) about a year or two ago & even that was great value. I haven't ever seen it come under $100 though, so this is excellent value. No problems with the actual shaver & it's still ticking over nicely on the odd occasion I run out of blades and have to use this.

  • Last Seen on 05/06/2016 - 18:59

    Agree with comments on battery life - it's epic!

    For easy cleaning I can recommend using either a nail brush with thick bristles or a toothbrush. Gets rid of hair better than the included brushes.

    Also please for the love of God, oil the blades frequently. It'll last for years.

    • nandystam on 05/06/2016 - 19:37

      That's a different (and lower) model than this one?

    • DryScissors on 06/06/2016 - 10:33

      Yeah I just noticed that. I feel I may have jumped the gun too early!

  • ghostbuster on 05/06/2016 - 21:08

    Bought one of these from Amazon before and had no problem using it here, lost the charger and ended up buying a replacement from Shaver Shop which had an Aussie plug. \

    You can order spare blades and attachment pieces from Amazon, or if you are in a rush get them from Shaver Shops, means the unit lasts for a lot longer as the blades are usually what wear away first

    Great timing, I broke my trimmer a few weeks ago so I just grew a beard and now the GF is complaining.

  • kizmas on 05/06/2016 - 22:42

    Thanks OP

  • Going Broke on 06/06/2016 - 14:19

    I've never ordered from Amazon yet. How long does it take and is the free shipping online trackable? Also does anyone know if the Amazon one comes in retail packaging?
    Thanks in advance.

    • TheElderLegend on 06/06/2016 - 16:50

      Standard shipping takes roughly 2 weeks to get delivered to Aus. The shipping isn't free, but I've included it in the $63.70USD total, and yes there is tracking of every package. I'm not entirely sure about packaging, but based on the pictures, this groomer does come in packaging that is virtually identical to that found in ShaverShop.

  • weirdthin on 06/06/2016 - 21:10

    Perfect timing! I went into Shaver Shop just looking at what my options were, and the pushy sales guy tried to get me to part with $169 for this one. Thanks OP!

  • pupdog on 09/06/2016 - 20:39

    Thanks for an awesome deal, OP. I promise to manscape forever more.

  • DryScissors on 14/06/2016 - 08:37

    Mine just arrived (QLD). Ordered on the 6rh.
