Wahl Peanut
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- My wife is a hairdresser and still has her Wahl Peanut she got for beauty school in 2006.
- My wahl peanut is 15 years old- they have been making them for 30 basically unchanged. You can buy replacement parts easily and will be able to for the foreseeable future since they have been around forever.
- Been using the Peanut for like 3 years now and it's still going strong. Only downside is being tethered to the wall but honestly that's kinda nice because you never have to worry about it dying mid-trim
- Just got one of these a few months ago and would recommend. Cords can be annoying but no cordless trimmer will ever be as good or last as long.
- Drop the battery and go corded. Wahl Peanut is great
Cons
- I brought mine with me to Peru and without thinking I plugged it in and got the switch. I remember thinking "wow it seems like the motor is going really fast" for about 2 seconds then it popped and a little puff of smoke came out. That's...

I brought mine with me to Peru and without thinking I plugged it in and got the switch. I remember thinking "wow it seems like the motor is going really fast" for about 2 seconds then it popped and a little puff of smoke came out. That's when I realized it's NOT dual voltage.

Parent context: I bought a Wahl Peanut. It is not luxurious. It is a compact workhorse. Reply: I’ve had mine for 10+ years.
The Peanut has never let me down.

I still use my wahl peanut I got for Christmas in high school over 15 yeaars ago. They have been around basically unchanged since the 90s. They are inexpensive. And have replacement parts and blades available on Amazon and most beauty supply stores.
