Stopped working after a month of daily use..fatal design flaw
Had it about a month when it failed completely.... It made a lot of noise, but stopped doing anything. Out of curiosity, I opened the case and found that the the design of the unit has a major fatal flaw. To create the vibration, the unit uses an electro-magnet to pull the massage head one direction, but movement the other direction is accomplished by a piece of soft-steel bent at a 90 degree angel acting as a return spring. As with any soft metal, this rapid back and forth movement causes this piece of metal to break at the 90 degree bend. Apparently, to save money, Wahl uses this method rather than a second coil for movement the other direction. I was actually sort of shocked to see this inept design and wonder about the engineering Wahl's other products.
