Review

The Wahl Professional 8685 Peanut Classic Hair Trimmer is very small and very light. Its dimensions are 1.8 x 1.8 x 4 inches and it only weighs 4 ounces. Although in theory, it is good for travelling, it needs 110V power source and it is not cordless.

Versatility and power

This small, but powerful trimmer or clipper does have enough power to cut through all hair types. It can also be used as a clipper and trimmer. However, it is not so good to use as a clipper because the biggest guide comb is ½”. It comes with only 4 guide combs and their sizes range from 1/8” to ½”.

It is good for short haircuts. It allows for efficient cutting and it takes minutes to complete a haircut with it. It is easy to hold and use even for people with small hands. Despite its size and weight, it is quite powerful, easy to use and it cuts hair fast. It is good for touch up work.

For cutting really thick hair, one should not start cutting at the bottom or else the clipper/trimmer gets too noisy. Its size does have its limits. Its blade is not as wide as some people would like it to be. Indeed, wider blades can cover more area at a time.

High quality and affordable

This Wahl trimmer is a high quality product. It can last for many years for some users. It is also very affordable. However, replacement blades can get a bit expensive in case the clipper or trimmer does last for years.

It is recommended to apply oil on it every day. However, some people choose to use oil only when they are about to use it and after using.

The Peanut Classic  is quite a powerful clipper/trimmer even if it is small. With proper care, this clipper/trimmer can last for years. It cuts smoothly and steadily.

Bottom line: The Wahl Professional 8685 Peanut Classic Hair Trimmer is an affordable, light and small clipper and trimmer. The width of its blade cannot cover as much area as some clippers/trimmers can. However, it is powerful, durable and cuts well.
