Very strong and high-quality construction, I have had it for about 3 months and I am completely satisfied. I use it for amateur purposes only, specifically for my facial hair. The only real downside is that it requires disassembly to clean it thoroughly, but you know this from the beginning.
Quite mediocre
For the machine:
I use it for fades and the only downside I encountered is that it overheats excessively.
For the small trimmer: it doesn't even cut dust.
Truly tragic.
It gets clogged very easily and doesn't even cut mustache.
With a little extra, you can get the 5 star series from Wahl, which is significantly better in terms of build quality and functionality
It is a good machine. It is amateur. I don't have this specific one, but a friend of mine had lent it to me for a few days and it seemed good to me. It comes with a smaller machine, scissors, a cleaning brush, and many combs as a gift. If you want a professional machine that is similar to this one and for a good shave, but with 10 euros more, buy the Wahl Chrome Pro 79524-216. I have the one I mentioned now, but it is a bit heavy. Anyway, if you are still reading this, have a good day. (If anyone wants to contact me, send me a message on Instagram, my username is @stefanidis_barber_)
I recently bought it to replace the very good Wahl 300 series that I had for 3 years, it didn't break, I just wanted something else, and the machine proved to be excellent. So I will compare the chrome one with it since I don't have any other experience... Initially, the case is of good construction, it can hold things, just put the heads in a box if you have one so they don't break inside the case. The accessories it comes with are more than enough, some may be unnecessary or useless, like the head for eyebrows... The "apron" it comes with is made of nylon, so don't rely on it if you plan on using it professionally... The machine has a more "cheap" feel compared to the 300, more "plastic" let's say, without meaning that it is bad, it just feels less durable in the hand... It is very quiet, lighter than the 300, and has a long enough cord that seems to require attention when folding... It cuts without any problems and doesn't leave tufts... Its guards are the same as the 300 and I looked into this because I wanted to use the old ones if any broke, but they also feel more "cheap" without meaning that they are not good... The scissors are very simple, just like the combs, the small machine has a blade for details but that's it... For amateur haircuts, it is impeccable, I don't know how it is for mustaches... Buy it without a second thought, it's worth it if you find it for around 65 euros... A very decent solution...
Update: Having done several haircuts now, I believe I have a good idea about the machine, so I will write some additional things... The machine indeed has a more "cheap" feel in terms of grip, but that doesn't mean it's not good, on the contrary, it cuts very well even hair with more length (with the number 8 guard, for example). The foot that opens and closes the blades sometimes gets stuck a little... I didn't like the guards it came with because they looked fake (they didn't affect the haircut), so I use the ones I had from the 300... Overall, I would say it is a very good solution for amateur and slightly more advanced haircuts, just don't forget to clean it with a good oil to maintain it properly...
