The fact that WAHL is one of the most famous brands in the world producing trimmers and professional hairdressing tools, hardly anyone can dispute. But are these Illinois guys the best in the world? Is it generally possible in our time of high technologies and market satiety to surpass their competitors in everything? Well, a NASA supplier with one of the lowest return rates in the world is worthy to compete for the title of 'best of the best', isn't it?
As you already understood, we will talk about WAHL trimmers and why the machines of this particular brand can claim to be the 'best in the world'. And we'll start by explaining how trimmers differ from hair clippers. Inexperienced users may not see the difference between the devices, but meanwhile it is huge. To discuss a subject, you need to understand its essence.
What are trimmers
The trimmer is indispensable in fine work – editing hairstyles, caring for a beard and mustache
Despite the functional and visual similarities between the trimmer and the hair clipper, the machines have one fundamental difference. In a narrow sense, a trimmer is an electric hair clipper, as well as an element of an electric razor or razor for trimming a mustache and beard; in a broad sense, a trimmer is an electric device for safely cutting hair anywhere on the body. This is possible due to a wide selection of attachment options, including those with a minimum cutting step of 0.5 mm. A hair clipper is not so versatile in this regard.
Advantages of trimmers compared to a clipper:
- 1.5-2 times smaller and much lighter than professional typewriters (from 250 grams);
- do not have perceptible vibration in the hand during work;
- practically silent;
- the attachments do not require special care, it is enough to rinse in water (the attachments for the machine must be lubricated, otherwise they will not cut, but 'chew' and pull out the hair).
- works from built-in rechargeable batteries or replaceable batteries, more mobile;
- the charge lasts longer compared to batteries or rechargeable machines.
The only advantage of the machine over the trimmer is the power and the possibility of a long session from the mains. The trimmer cannot cope with thick and long hair, but it is indispensable in delicate work – editing hairstyles, creating a shape and pattern, caring for a beard and mustache.
If a trimmer, then why WAHL?

WAHL create technologies, others master them
First of all, WAHL is a hair clipper
Hair clippers are the 'native' WAHL technology. The company's production facilities allow it to produce hair dryers, curling irons, scissors, combs and even sockets, but do not forget how the success story began – in 1919, Leo J. Wahl created and patented an electromagnetic clipper called 'model 66'.
Throughout its existence, the trade mark has developed its basic brainchild, introduced new technologies, and improved it. The 1960s saw the creation of the world's first vacuum clipper technology and the world's first cordless clipper. In 1984, WAHL introduced the world to the cordless facial trimmer.
On March 31, 2004, the corporation made an invaluable contribution to space exploration by developing a hair-clipper intended for NASA astronauts. Prior to this landmark event, a haircut in orbit was an ungrateful, impractical and even dangerous business: one person trimmed, and the other had to collect cut hairs, which, due to the lack of gravity, could 'travel' around the space station, be hammered into equipment, and this is a potential a threat to safety and serious inconvenience to astronauts. Wahl Clipper adapted their proprietary technology and created an immediate collection vacuum pump trimmer that can withstand the harsh conditions of space travel and can handle temperatures from -48 ° C to + 50 ° C without compromising performance or reliability.
