A Gift For Him: Wahl Lithium Ion Clippers {A Holiday Gift Guide Review}

**Product received for review.

Men are hard to shop for, aren't they? Even after nearly 7 years of marriage, finding the perfect gift for my husband is still a challenge. But one thing that I know will always be a hit in our household is a good pair of clippers! And for that, Wahl has us covered.

Being military, my husband has to keep his hair very short, which means hair cuts are done every Sunday night. For a long time, that meant trips to the barber shop- which took a lot of time and a lot of money. So a few years ago, he made the decision to just do it himself at home. We also keep our son's hair quite short, cutting his hair about once a month or so and again doing so at home. With the frequent haircuts given in our household, a good set of clippers are an absolutely necessity. So when Wahl agreed to send me their Lithium Ion Clippers for review, I was thrilled. Here is a bit of info on these clippers:

Powered by lithium ion technology, the clipper outperforms standard Wahl rechargeable clippers by providing up to two times the run time, clocking in at one hour and 40 minutes on a full charge. This eliminates the need for frequent recharging, and provides a versatile solution for people that prefer to cut hair outside in locations such as the garage or patio. It also provides:

• 50 percent more power than standard Wahl magnetic motor clippers to avoid snagging, pulling and uneven cutting
• 15 minute quick charge for over 12 minutes of use, enough for a complete haircut
• Only three hours for a full charge
• Includes full-size detail trimmer in kit

The Lithium Ion clipper kit is a premium product that exemplifies Wahl’s innovation, quality and performance. The kit includes Wahl’s easy-to-use guide comb system and a handful of accessories to make home haircutting a breeze. It also includes a trimmer unit for quick upkeep around the ears and neckline. All Wahl clippers and trimmers feature finely ground and detailed blades for superior performance and one pass cutting.

The Lithium Ion also offers a sleek design and handle that fits nicely into the hand and clean-up is easy with a clipper body and head that permit rinse cleaning. It is also designed from durable chrome to help extend the life of the product, and offers a five-year warranty.
For us, these clippers are absolutely perfect. I love that they are rechargeable, and have a longer run time...that means we can do both my husband's and my son's haircuts back to back without having to charge. And unlike other clippers we've used in the past, they don't require being plugged during use- a huge plus for us since we have only one incoveniently placed outlet in our bathroom. They offer many length options that are easy to use, and work wonderfully on both my boys. I also love the included trimmer for ears, neckline, etc. It truly has everything you need for a great haircut at home. And they are from a brand that we absolutely trust to provide high quality, long lasting products (my mother in law has a pair of Wahl clippers that have to be at least over 20 years old that we recently had to use on our son- and they still worked great!) And at $69.99, a great deal too...in our household, that's just two months of haircuts at the barber shop- saving us a TON of money!
