In this section, we will cross-examine the Wahl Peanut and see how it fares in regards to features and functionality… Comes with a Powerful Rotary Motor for Its Size The Peanut makes it so easy for anyone to maintain a neat and well-kept haircut with sharp and crisp hairlines. I wanted to love this device more than I do. Although it is a solid little device with tons of power I want more options as far as cutting the length of hair than what Wahl gives you in this Peanut. If you just want a solid small trimmer with limited options maybe this is right for you but for me, I want more. I believe this would last years as every Wahl trimmer I have owned has lasted for many many years and I believe the Peanut would last for many years too.

Whether you are using a tool at home or for your profession, it pays to take care of it . The Peanut isn’t any different than other hair clippers, so here are some general tips to maintain it. Without a guard the Peanut can be used as an edger around the beard. Just settle on a spot where you want the edge of the beard and then point the blade perpendicular to the skin. Basically, it can be used at a 90° angle for this. Go around the whole perimeter of the beard.Its delicate design lowers any risks related to children’s usual restlessness during home haircuts. The Peanut is also cute which always attracts the little ones’ attention – at least judging from the experience of a friend of mine (a mother). Finally, it’s possible to use this Wahl hair trimmer for doing some work on your private parts . I advise you to be mindful, though – delicate areas should be handled with extra care. Then pop on a guard to trim down the beard to the length you like. It comes with four different plastic comb guards which with the longest leaving your beard ½ an inch and the shortest leaving it ⅛ of an inch.

For those of you who’re into lineups, achieving proper lines is very easy with the Peanut. Due to its light body and small size, the hair trimmer is highly maneuverable and will cater to all your crazy or not-so-crazy hair lining ideas. I personally wouldn’t use it as a primary clipper, as it is limited in some ways. Yes, you can do a whole haircut with one, but if you’re a barber, then time is money. It is small so it takes longer to do a haircut.

The Peanut’s size can also be a disadvantage if you have big hands. To some people, hair clippers and trimmers should feel solid when holding them. Getting a good grip yields easier, more comfortable results. I am also used to having a wider blade length especially for cutting hair. Another shortcoming of the Peanut is it has a narrower blade length. The blade is only 1 1/4″ inches wide while most clippers are 1 5/8″ inches wide. Thereby you are losing 3/8″ of an inch and this translates to a longer haircut as you are not able to cut the same amount of hair with a smaller blade. This does translate to a positive when using it on your face. As the smaller blade is easier to maneuver and you can trim more precisely as opposed to a wider blade. You’ll enjoy its compactness, reliability, convenience, comfortability, and maneuverability when it comes to trimming hair or maintaining short haircuts. Clipper use aside, this is a quality Wahl trimmer too. As a matter of fact, the first time I saw the Peanut, I thought it was a trimmer. Imagine my surprise when I saw a student doing a full haircut with it! Very versatile, the Peanut offers you a wide range of hair trimming opportunities. It cuts very close, especially compared with a lot of similar budget models (looking at Andis T-Outliner here.)

As you might guess, thanks to its compact body, the Peanut is a wonderful candidate for the best hair trimmer for kids. Forget about it being a trimmer for men.For some cutting length diversity, you will receive 4 Wahl guards (from 1/8″ to 1/2″ in size.) You’ll also fetch a red blade guard, Wahl cleaning brush, clipper oil and the instructions for the Peanut clipper. The smaller blade allows you to trim facial hair more precisely than the standard larger blade would allow you. Our top selling professional trimmer has gone cordless!
