Wahl Waterproof Rechargeable Electric Shaver 7061-100

Overall, I recommend this electric shaver. I previously used Philips-Norelco triple-head rotary models for several years and recently decided to try something new. At the time of this review, I have been using the Wahl model for about 2 months.

PROS:
– Gives a good shave, about the same closeness/effectiveness as other electric razors I have used. Nothing special, but it works as well as I need it to.
– You’d think the lack of a travel case would be a con, but this shaver is built like the M1 Abrams of razors and does not need a case. It has a standard travel lock feature that prevents activation of the razor by holding the button down for a few seconds.
– Great battery life. I have not let the battery run all the way out yet, but I used it for roughly 12 shaves over about 3 weeks in between charges at one point with no issues.
– Easy to clean, even just using water.

CONS:
– It takes nearly twice as long to get a full shave done compared to previous triple-rotary models I have used…can’t really explain why.
– There is no battery life indicator. You’d think this would be a relatively easy feature to include, but perhaps that is why this model is cheaper than others. It’s easy to work around, as the battery life is very good, but it’s slightly annoying. Supposedly if the battery does run out, you can charge it enough to get a full shave in about 5 minutes, though I have not tried it myself.
– This may just be my own bad luck, but the product was advertised to come with a cleaning brush (it is even shown on the box), and I could not find a brush–or even a place for one–anywhere in the packaging. It looked like it would be a pretty big brush for an electric shaver and I looked freakin’ everywhere for it before I threw out the packaging, but it never turned up. Thankfully I had a couple old ones from other shavers that work fine, so it wasn’t a big deal, but it was weird.

Again, overall I recommend this product and feel that the pros outweigh the cons. It’s a good choice for the price if you think it might be what you’re looking for.

Bought this shaver to replace my 10-year-old Norelco, and I’ve been using it for about two months now I like the bright yellow color – if you’re travelling, you’re less likely to leave it behind. It shaves nice and close – leaving my face as smooth as a baby’s bottom. So far I’ve never had a problem with battery life. I think I’ve charged it twice since I’ve had it, and it was fully charged in half an hour. The shaver’s very easy to clean – remove the head, tap the head and body against each other, and you’re done. I haven’t used it “wet”, although you can. This shaver does its best job when used daily. Sometimes I’d let my beard grow for two or three days and my old Norelco would chop it right off. Shaving takes longer with this one if you’ve neglected shaving for a day or two. One thing I wish they’d change is the charge indicator, which is a bright blue dot that makes it hard to tell if the LED underneath is on or not. All in all, though, I’m very happy with it.

CORRECTION: The blue dot on the charge indicator is actually a sticker. When peeled off, the indicator is invisible unless the shaver is charging.

Es ligera y tiene muy buena bateris , facil de viajar con ella pero en ocaciones jala los pelitos

UPDATE: I’ve only had this shaver for 5 months, and already, it’s DEAD!! Won’t turn on or recharge. DEAD! Shame on you, Whal for more crappy chinese JUNK. Was doing great, just getting ready for a replacement cutter set when it just died. A $48 piece of chinese JUNK!! DONT BUT THIS CRAP!!

Original review now rescinded:

I’m comparing this shaver to a Braun Series 3 and Series 5. The Series 5 is a piece of junk and not worth the money. I bring it into this review because this Wahl shaver has many of the same features. The Braun Series 3 is a great shaver, but with a NiMh battery, it doesn’t last all that well. This Wahl has a Li-ion battery that lasts about 2 weeks of shaving. It’s easy to clean in the shower, and the sideburn trimmer is really good…much better than the Braun. The replacement cutters are about the same price on Amazon as the Braun, but I have not needed one yet. The Wahl seems to be staying sharp much longer than the Brauns do. This Wahl also has the “floating” shave head like the Braun Series 5. It really doesn’t do all that much, but I can certainly tell the difference from the Series 3. I would definitely recommend this shaver if you’re into shaving in the shower like I am. I’ve been doing it for years, and I have to say, this is the best experience yet!! A side hint…you can keep the cutters a little sharper by putting some 3-in-1 oil that has the Teflon in it, on the cutters and letting the shaver run for about 5-minutes before you charge it up each time. I’ve done this for years, too, and the cutters stay sharp and last much longer!

Excellent service from the seller. The razor rums very smoothly and is very durable.

nice
