I was introduced to the Wahl Peanut line last year, when a friend lent me an older version of this shaver. It was a very good shaver, and so two months ago I bought this version.
I am very pleased with the purchase. My facial hair grows in a rather convoluted direction field, including a cowlick on my neck, and the shaver has no real problems shaving any of it. Keep in mind however that it is still an electric shaver, and it will only take you down to a very thin stubble, not as close as a cutthroat/safety razor can get. I chose to give this four stars because my particular model seems to give a less close shave than my friend’s model.
The cutting guides are really fantastic however. They allow me to keep my beard without it getting long and unruly, which happens rather quickly in my case.
As previously stated, I have only owned it for a couple of months, so I cannot say anything about its longevity, but at this time I have only minor complaints. All in all it is a very solid product, so far.

Customer Reviews
Great Little Trimmer - Kelvin M. Pillow - Alexandria, VA USA
I really like my Peanut trimmer. It is powerful, far better than battery powered trimmers. It’s compact and light weight. So, it’s easy to trim behind ears and to trim your mustache or goatee. My only complaint is that the attachments do not include a 1/16″ and blending guide. I tend to trim my beard closer than the smallest guide provided which appears to be 1/8″. So, I still have to use my full size clippers to do a full trim down to the level I prefer.
Excellent clippers, small, lightweight, the best that I have used - Cute Chihuahua - Orient, OH USA
I have tried at least ten different pairs of clippers over the years and the Wahl Peanut is without a doubt the best for short haircuts. It’s very small and lightweight yet it has more power than most of the other full size clippers that I have used in the past. The shape and size of it makes it really easy and quick to use because it fits nicely in the palm of your hand and it’s not awkward to hold. It cuts very well for short haircuts but I am not sure it would be the best for longer and thicker hair because it’s so small. It comes included with clipper oil, blade guard, brush and 4 cutting guides. I do wish that it come included with a case of some sort but that’s not a huge deal. Another very nice thing about these clippers is that the blades are removable and replaceable so if the blades get dull then you can just replace the blades.
Geat little trimmer - JOHNNYP - ILLINOIS
The trimmer is great. It cut my hair close to my skin. It is exactly what I was looking for in a hair trimmer. The price was right too.
