Amazon.com
Designed for the do-it-yourself stylist, the Wahl Clip-n-Trim set includes a heavy-duty clipper/trimmer and a full set of attachments. Durably built, the clipper is easily adjusted and unclogged with a side-mounted thumb-control lever. Its Powerdrive Cutting System handles fine or very thick hair, and the high-carbon steel blades are self-sharpening for years of efficient results. The clipper also includes a clever flip-over trimmer for precise definition of sideburns and necklines. Should the unit slip out of your hand, the trimmer attachment is designed to pop off, in order to avoid breaking. Wahl includes a veritable smorgasbord of attachments and accessories along with a sturdy storage case for the whole set. Eight guide combs range in length from 1/8 to 1 inch; the other two are suitable for tapering at the left and right ear. Additional styling tools include a barber comb, flattop comb, cape, neck duster, and scissors. Wahl provides for maintenance and instruction too, with blade oil, a blade guard, a cleaning brush, and an English/Spanish manual. Made in the USA, the clippers carry a 5-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Great clipper - needs improvement tho October 13, 2003

I bought this for a bit more at Walmart becuase I needed it asap. My hair grows back at an incredible rate and if I don't trim it within 2-3 weeks, it looks BAD.
This model featured a Powerdrive system that's supposedly more powerful at cutting thick hair more smoothly. It also sports this special detail trimmer that pops out and attaches to the trimmer blade like a silencer for a rifle. The only difference is that it makes 3 times more noise than the regular trimmer. It was so loud I couldn't stand it buzzing next to my ear.
I tried oiling it to no avail, it's just very noisy and vibrates a lot. The regular trimmer is just like the old Wahl I had. In fact this trimmer looks and feels JUST like the old Wahl I had from the mid 90s.
I didn't feel any difference in how smoothly it cut - it just got really hot really quickly.
But it's new and it has a 5 year warranty. It would pay for itself in the 3rd or 4th haircut at home.
UPDATE: After the 3rd cutting, the trimmer appears to be slightly quieter and doesn't get as hot.
I oiled the blades and made sure it was clean.
The small trimmer attachment got a bit quieter but I found that if I just wear earplugs I can handle the noise. No Big deal at all.
The hair trimmer already paid for itself and I'm getting really nice and clean haircuts by myself.
UPDATE:
After about the 10th use, the longer trimmer guides vibrate and the smaller "fuzz hair" adapter vibrates right off of the main trimmer body.
It still cuts great for such an inexpensive trimmer. It does the job of an industrial strength trimmer and after about 3 haircuts, it pays for itself. I can pretty much get a brand new trimmer set each year and still save over going to a hair salon/barber shop.
My hairstyle isn't complicated: Guide #4 for the top, Guide #1 for the sides. High and tight. I see no reason to pay a barber ten dollars to do the same thing.
 Great Hair Clipper Set--but be careful WHERE you but it! October 19, 2003

I bought this from EVERYTHINGHOME.COM The kit arrived in a Pansonic shipping carton which originally contained parts from an importer-exporter--without a Packing Slip, Invoice, or Return Form! Things did not look good. The Wahl clipper inside was missing cutter teeth and the blade was out of sync. I was instructed to return it to it a different company: OCI, with the "O" standing for Overseas (Everythinghome.com considers orders from OCI to be "direct from the manufacturer" shipments. Yeah, right. I was really worried now. EverythingHome charged a 15% "restocking" fee on return of a defective unit--and didn't refund return shipping charges! I was so furious I ended up buying it from Wahl direct. (Actually, I should have bought it from Amazon.com., where I get most of my stuff, and get a lower price to boot.) Who knows where Everythinghome gets their stuff. As for the Wahl clipper set itself, it is great in every respect! It's a complete kit and I love it. Replaces another Wahl clipper I had used for 13 years (during which time I saved over $2,000 cutting my own hair.) Don't hesitate one second in getting this performer. My advice: get it from Amazon.com., and stay away from Everythinghome.com.
Great product, but don't count on the flipover trimmer part. October 9, 2004

This is the very first trimmer I ever used. I was tired of waiting in line and paying what I can do at home in 15 minutes. The trimmer is fairly easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. (I just brushed the hair off after each use.)
It would deserve a full 5-star if the latch of flip-over fine trimmer didn't break the first time I used it. The fine trimmer still works with my thumb pressing to hold it in place. Since then, I have given and received haircuts 20+ times using it (that's what starving graduate students do other than subsisting on Ramen noodles.) When I save enough money, I think I will simply get a beard trimmer to do the fine touches. After all, one can't expect a $20 tool to do everything.

I just got mine in the mail today and the product must have been updated because the accessories I recieved are not what is displayed on the website. Amazon you need to update. I did not recieve a neck brush and only one comb. To top it all off the plastic part of the detail trimmer is cracked. I have not used it yet but hopefully it will work.
 Amazon sent me a used clipper (yuck!) June 8, 2007

Encouraged by the nice reviews about the Wahl 79900, I was excited to open the package. However, there were short pieces of hair within the clipper set box and in the blades of the clipper itself. This was gross and totally unexpected as it was not supposed to be "used"!!
