Review (4/5): Good Electric Razor. Had a problem, but resolved - Great Customer Service
I purchased this Wahl shaver to replace a seven year old Remington of similar design who's battery finally died. Recalling an incident several years earlier -- at the airport when my carry-on bag started to make a loud buzzing noise while I was in the security line -- I thought I would give the Wahl a try since it has a Travel Lock function on the on/off button not available from Remington.
This Wahl shaver gives me as good of a shave as the Remingtons I've had in the past, and the battery life is impressive. I usually charge it once every two weeks, compared to once a week with my last Remington.
After three months of use, I did have a problem with my new Wahl - the reason for a four star rather than five star review. The finish on the gray plastic shaver head began to crinkle and flake off (see first picture). Since it was past the return period, I did not contact the Amazon seller but emailed Wahl directly and asked if they would replace the shave head under warranty. They quickly shipped me a free replacement shaver with all accessories in sealed retail packaging. The new version has a metallic chrome finish every place where the original was painted gray (see second picture). Note: the original and new version both have the same model number: 7061-900) . Great customer service from Wahl!
