Review
The Wahl 79524-1001 Deluxe Chrome Pro with Multi-Cut Clipper and Trimmer is a complete package for anyone’s trimming and clipping needs. The trimmer and clipper’s blades are made of high carbon with a “Dura-Chrome” finish. The other accessories are made of plastic. The S-trimmer is powered by 2 AA batteries and the clipper needs to be plugged in.
The complete package weighs 2.6 pounds and its dimensions are 10 x 9 x 3 inches. The set comes with a soft black zip bag for storage. This makes it really easy to carry around. The package contains a multi-cut clipper and trimmer with blade guard. It also includes a barber comb, medium comb, scissors, 2 hair clips, cleaning brush, blade oil, mirror, spray bottle and cape. Furthermore, it includes 10 guide combs and an ear and eyebrow trim guide comb as well.
Complete set
This kit is a 27 piece set that includes different guide combs for trimming different body parts. It is a complete hair cutting kit. Several people might not even get to use all of the accessories that this set includes. Regardless, they are there in case they are needed.
Ideally, it is able to cut any hair type. However, the product seems to have a hard time cutting really thick hair. These might not be ideal for pet grooming. At times, one has to make sure that the guide combs are properly attached. If it is not, it can be noisy, pull hair or result in uneven cuts. At worst, it can break the plastic guide comb attached to it.
Built to last
The clipper and trimmer are quite durable. Most of the time, these are the only things that people need. The plastic accessories can be a problem for some. Compared to the clipper or trimmer, plastic is not as durable.
Both the clipper and the trimmer also have nice ergonomic grips. However, the clipper can be a bit heavy for some. The case used to carry it does not contain slots for each accessory, but it offers convenience and it is still handy.
There are some customers who might get “used” sets. It is a good thing that these can easily be replaced. In addition, the clipper comes with a five year limited warranty. The trimmer comes with a two year limited warranty. The whole set also comes with a full-color instruction booklet in English and Spanish.
Bottom line: The Wahl 79524-1001 Deluxe Chrome Pro with Multi-Cut Clipper and Trimmer is an affordable 27 piece set. The set includes a trimmer, clipper and all the accessories needed to cut all types of hair. It might not be good for cutting thick hair. Yet, it is complete and includes everything one needs for cutting hair.
