Good choice for a clean shave.... [Posted on 2005-09-09]
The Baldfader is a great clipper for those of us that like our hair short. It only has a couple of settings and it lives up to its name, Baldfader.

Metro Baldfader - Did Not Work [Posted on 2006-03-08]
The Baldfader I ordered did not work. I carefully followed the instructions for aligning the blades, contacted Wahl and followed their troubleshooting instructions and still could not get the clippers to cut at all - they just scratched up my scalp. I promptly returned them and just got a small and less expensive beard trimmer at my local pharmacy, which has worked just fine. It may have been anomalous, but my experience was very poor.

loud and itchy [Posted on 2006-05-07]
Compared to the generic clippers I've been using for the past several years, the Baldfader did cut a little closer to the scalp, though it's definitely still a "crew cut" and not a what I'd call a "shave." A bigger concern is that the unit I received is *extremely* loud, to the point of making my ears ring. I wouldn't consider using this in my apartment at night - would upset the neighbors. Last but not least, the Baldfader irritated my scalp, which the previous clippers did not.

Summary: I'll probably keep these around as an emergency backup, but I consider it money wasted.

Good Product [Posted on 2006-07-03]
This clipper set seems to work very well for what I need it to do. I use it to keep my head shaved and I wanted something that would work better than what you can get at wal-mart, which is what I was using. It shaves very close and has an adjustable lever to change the closeness. I have cut myself once using it, operator error. The only gripe I would have is that it is very loud and heats up pretty quickly.

Great clipper for shaved or fade type hair cuts [Posted on 2006-08-05]
I've had these clippers for about two months now and very happy with the hair cuts I get with them. I never had any problems with my clipper, unlike the other comments people have left. If you like a fade, bald or even a military high and tight hair cut, these clippers will perform. It shaves very close and very well made. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is, it could use some type of carrying case to put everything inside but other than that it's a great buy.
