Bro I’m an andis guy, i have to confess. I just upgraded my 3 andis I, andis II & the Gtx corded trimmers with clear omnicord clear cases with the led switch, ceramic blade. After watching your Video I went onto Ebay and bought the Wahl Detailer. Thanks
First time watching your review and I gotta say you one of the best...you get right to it and you know ya know what you're talking about and based on your decision I'm purchasing the Detailers .
Excellent and very honest explaining, I´ve chosen a Wahl Cordless Detailer Li. I´m subscribed to you here. Now that I know that you are an experienced Barber, please let me know, in your opinion, what is the best Cordless Clipper that you recommend me to buy, please. I am writing to you from the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean area.
I have a WMARK with adjustable speed and battery display, very strong and robust. You can remove(drill or hit out) the plastic taps on the moving blade assembly (Looks like they purposefully have made a place for modification.), and replace it with an appropriate size nut and screw to adjust the gap... or get a Wahl blade.
Just got one. It looks solid to me. Made in Hungary. I haven't aligned it for zero-gap yet it worked well. I hope this one lasts longer and remains sharp for at least two years.
@@Themikelawry nothing but love for this guys channel. I’m not tryna steal anyone’s followers, just tryna share something I created that would benefit fellow barbers and save them money. I get where you coming from tho bro, enjoy your day.
Pay this man!! Straight facts ! He spoke the truth against his day 1 favorite. As a veteran barber not a lot of barbers on RU-vid speak the truth about the better product.
That 5 star blade is the bomb hands down. I heard about the andis gtx blade but never use it, andis need to come back or else they will be left in the dark, but andis corded trimmer no doubt will blow away all other trimmer when its come to power and hit if you get the blade to set right. But what i do i use wahl 5 star for line up and andis corded for jaw and neck line because of power. Both my wahl and andis trimmer or corded, the wahl is the old version with 5 start t wide blade but is not powerful enough on neck and jaw but its sharp, but i love it. But i think i need on upgrade on the wahl trimmer, its my number one trimmer that's why.
How is the longevity on this product? I had a wahl cordless retro, which i loved, but after a few months it just stopped working after minimum personal use. Wouldn't charge and couldn't stay on for more than 10 seconds Left me weary about cordless wahl products. Any feedback over 6 months? Over a year? Etc
When you messed up and called it a cordless “Senior” in the beginning, you weren’t lying. I found out they both use the same exact motor, that’s why it’s so powerful and consistent.
Is there a difference between the wahls corded & cordless detailer? Which between the two do you recommend for face shaving? I just need it to trim facial hair & i use the babyliss fx2 foil to clean it up
Wahl detailer Is this trimmer good or not? please Some nice trimmers for a clean shave suggest? Wahl 14000 Moser & Wahl detailer which one is better for clean shave?
"If it ain't crispy, you're dead!" 😆.Sounds like a line from a Ice cube barber shop movie or a customer in a Popeyes chicken drive thru....😁 ..but nice video brotha..you helped me make a decision on my cordless trimmer purchase.
I've spent quite some time researching a perfect wireless trimmer. I use them to bald my head because I cannot use razors, foils, or creams. I searched for the top of the line trimmers online and watched RU-vid videos for reviews. Your video convinced me to purchase the Wahl 5 Star Cordless Detailer Li Trimmer 8171 and I'm thankful I listened. I've used the Wahl Peanut for over a decade; recently purchased the cordless version and wasn't impressed. The Detailer Li is my new go-to and I have you to thank for it!
Your review is what I was looking for. I too shave my head. Although I do use mach 3 razors, Im looking for something that I can use on my head when I get lazy and let my hair grow out too much for going at it straight with a razor blade first. I need something I can keep my beard lined up with also. I was told that this trimmer comes with guards. Is this true?
I've always had a problem with setting my blades right so they don't leave a scar line afterwards. I actually have both clippers and like you I prefer Detailers as well. The Detailers are the best one for shape ups because the lines are much cleaner. I haven't used a modifier on my blades as of yet. As far as adjustments the only thing I have done is to even the back and front blades on a flat surface and then tighten them back and the shape ups are hitting but after a day or two the shape up scar lines show up. Any suggestions Brah....?
@@heisenberg2198 Thanks, I will try to go easier. Is there something to be said about a zero gap setting for shape up trimmers ? Could that also contribute to the scars...?
I would like to get your opinion. I'm balding. Actually I've been balding for some time. I can't use razor blades because I'll break out in bumps. So, instead I use Andis trimmers and profoil lithium shaver. But I feel like they're not getting the job done. Which clippers do u recommend I use to get a clean bald shave?
I got a question tho. Which one is better? The Andis Slimline Pro Li or The Wahl Detailer Li? Most people are disappointed by the quality of the Andis Slimline. They say it don't even last 6 months but they cut very sharp. So I'm kinda confused. Andis Slimline or Wahl Detailer?
@@thebarbermosaic took me a little to figure it out. but i wonder what would happen if you use the chuka blade sharpener on them too?? would the be too sharp??
Kodi man will someone please tell me how to adjust this thing to hit harder! I have the cordless Wahl. Same in this video. New to the game. Quarantine got my wife ready to cut my hair but I need it to hit my lines hard!
They are the old detailer with new name. They have the original detailer blade while the new detailer has a T-wide blade which many prefer. The Hero is also only available corded. The best would be in my opinion the new Detailer LI and if you prefer a smaller blade you can purchase and replace T-wide type.
i like the babylyss trimmer for line ups but for doing beard like shaving the neck and shit they snag the hair. im assuming because of the small teeth blades
If you can get your hands on them... those babyliss skeleton trimmers knock all other trimmers out the box and i have the bevel the detailer the t outliner the t cut both slimlines and they hit so well there is no close second.... the blade is super thin.... its the dopest trimmer to date
I'm a old school veteran barber, I guess I'm the type of barber that is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix". But, seriously seriously considering making that switch from the Anddis T-Outliners. So based of your professional experience. (1) Was there any difference when you switched to Wahl Liners? (2) Was there a lost of power when you went cordless? (3) Was the noise level unbearable? (4) And what's your opinion on the Wahl Professional Series Detailer #8081 with adjustable T-Blade? (Amazon) Thanks for the review, I appreciate your time an effort to prepare this video! THANKS.
To reply to the lost of power comment, there isn't loss of power being cordless. The detailer having a dual voltage, making it powerful. From hearing from our customers, the noise isn't much of a problem but it depends on what you consider unbearable haha.
Awesome video. As for the Babyliss skeletonized trimmers, they are complete trash. I've had them for a month and a half and they are acting up. Sometimes they don't turn on when I hit the power slider, so I have to slide the power slider down and then up. That said, the most annoying thing about them, the loud noise. Damn these trimmers are loud when they get the tiniest particle of moisture, such as Coolcare or Clippercide. I've babied them and have not dropped them. I clean and oil them everyday and still, they drive me nuts. Worst purchase other than the Babyliss Gold FX clippers due to the glare that bounces off of them. I'm definitely thinking of buying these Detailers.
Ty Herr thats a fact... that skeleton babyliss trimmer hits better than all other trimmers... my order of cordless trimmers Babyliss skeleton Bevel trimmer Andis t-outliner Wahl detailer Andis slimline li and slimline Wahl retro t cut
No my boy I'm sorry what I mean is the corded detailer under the cutting blade there is the white plastic bracket with a the tension spring that hocks on upper part of the inner body of the trimmer Does the cordless D li has the same built
No, the Wahl cordless Detailer came out 1st(it had an adjustable blade). That’s truly why they’re 100x’s better now. They took customer feedback & improved it. Pretty sure Andis will make their 2nd/updated T outliner better as well, just may take a few years. We’re in the cordless era & the main clippers we’ve used for decades will become better & better until we’re happy.
Both are good since it comes from Wahl brand Choosing between Corded or Cordless depends on Your needs & practicality I do self hair cut since I'm working at remote area.. So cordless version is necessary for Me.. that's why I always bring My Cordless Wahl: Senior and Detailer whenever I'm on duty.. at home I use Wahl Legend Corded
I from brazil. I Dont understand nothing. Anybody can help me? Detailer cordlles li os good? Is better than anothers thimmers? I want to buy one detailer cordlles Li. I am correctly in my decision ?
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ao9VnkQfUTc.html I agree especially with this set up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ao9VnkQfUTc.html
I read the reviews on them.You are exactly correct. I even heard it from my friend who is a barber.Even if you keep up the maintenance or not being dropped. Smh
I'm Wahl all the way, the only Andis trimmers I'll use is the Slimline. I had the T Outliners once and they were straight garbage, i was so disappointed.
Andis forever.....my dad taught me to cut since 9....every saturday from 9am till 9pm in his shop.....then he handed me my first pair of andis speed masters and a pair of andis t outliners....
I wouldn't buy cordless anything. Simply because they will never last as long as the corded version. That battery will slowly lose charge and be worthless. To me, that's just one more thing to repair.
@@familyfirst7027 I changed my mind and did not buy detailer but purchased T-liner.. still didn't like.. it was not than sharp or creating thin line and noisy too. Do you have nay recommendation?
Andis better... U picking wahl because the blade been modified but out the box they didn't hit good. Of course Wahl gone WIN do your Andis T outliner blades like u did the wahl trimmers then tell which one better...
