Mine is super worn but motor is strong and reliable. About 20 years plus. Made in US.

Using 2-3 times a week for all this time. That’s at least 2000 times used.

I have a similar wahl that I bought in 1995 when my wife and I were dating. She has been cutting my hair with it since. I am pretty sure it was like $35 back then, and it's seen a lot of monthly haircuts...

Good on you!

It's probably saved you thousands.

Here's to many more years

team Wahl for the win.

I really admire and respect someone who keeps all their equipment spotlessly clean.

Same. $35 ~12 years ago and still going strong. Now if I could just remember where I put that tiny bottle of oil for it…

So clean, do you even use it? ^^

I bought cordless Wahl

The charge is fine but the unit itself is falling apart in the first year or 2 and its only used once ever 2 months

These things are great. The ones I use have been truckin since 2010, but their dog shears wear out from heavier use (expected). Replaced our dog clippers 3x in the same time span. Saved thousands at this point, $20+ a pop for my hair, $100+ for dogs (2x), plus I started cutting our toddler’s hair earlier this year.

Given the slightest care and occasional oiling, these things do indeed last forever.

I'm impressed with how clean your box is. Mine looks like its way overdue for its own haircut!

Hey you can get replacement blades for them ..

Whatever you do, keep that forever. Do NOT buy the new ones, I'm on my third one in 4 years. They have gotten worse. My old one lasted me 15 years

Update: found it! I wrote my original comment, half joking. But laying in bed last night I did start to wonder where the heck I put it, so this morning I looked around and I found it in the top of my toolbox. I remember now that I stored it there so it wouldn’t tip over and leak.

When I started balding I decided to just go full shaved head. I've been doing it myself for 10 years or so at this point. Lots of money and time saved.

Nice! My gf has been cutting my hair since the pandemic, and she's got so good at it, I won't be going back to a barber. She can also do our daughter's hair, and somehow, even her own. Frugal win!

1997- wahl clippers going strong.

I just did actually, sporting brand new set. It is the body shell that’s worn and faded

I like how wahl is still making good stuff ... Even the dirt cheap ones feel a lot better in the hand that anything matching the price

Got the same one. On the third set of blades.

Same! Except I started earlier when I realized my barber was just putting a #4 blade guard on and shaving straight across the back of my neck. I can do that myself, and have for 25 years now. I see these in thrift shops with accessories and sometimes a case for $5 to $10. What a deal!!!!

I've been using an Oster for over 20 years for my semiannual haircuts, no complaints. My sister gave me a Wahl, and it cuts much better. The tools (guards) are also more robust.

2008 was 20 years ago. Fuck

I've paid for only about 10 haircuts since 1992 since I do it myself.
