My i-stubble makes a very loud noise although it does seem to trim well. Is this normal? It runs really loud from the first use.

The question is how do you quantify a "very loud" noise. What may seem loud to you may not seem loud to me at all. Of course, with age, most things are not as loud as they were! I would suggest going to a store that has a shaver display and run one to see how it compares to yours. Mine does make noise but it is not too loud to me. You can also see if anyone posted a video shaving (I think there are several) to hear the noise as well. Good luck.

I guess mine is pretty loud too...its definitely not the quietest electric razor. Comparing the noise to other hair trimmers devices though rather than razors makes it seem about normal in how loud it is...it is more similar to the noise of other hair trimmers.

I suppose one might consider it noisy. In the scheme of things, you may find sound to be your least problematic symptoms. I've tried a number of brands only to be disappointed. I do not want to change blades/covers/trimmers. Longevity is what i seek.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

Yes. I think it is normal. Mine does the same thing. Unfortunately the manual doesn't bother to mention it.

No, it is noisy! It also has quit clipping the hair from my dog, after 3 clippings. I guess the blades wore out (need sharpening). I'm not very happy about it...

Cannot respond to the question regarding strong facial hair. I do not use it with shaving cream. It is not noisy. Gives a very smooth and excellent shave.

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use this shaver while it's charging?My old ES8152's battery is getting weak. It won't be long before I can't even shave once on a single charge. It now needs $40 worth of replacement parts, and I'm afraid to invest because I don't know how long it will be before it's unusable. Certainly less than the two years it took me to wear out the first outer foil.

I think it is NOT normal cause i got the same from Amazon and it not in original package. I suspect the package and I found some hairs(small). So i believe it used product. I gonna return this product. So...... AMAZON IS CHEATING US.

The one I received seems to be the same to me, cost and performance wise. I know when it's time to change it; it starts pulling at my stubble instead of cutting it cleanly. I use mine daily and it's still going strong.

No it's not normal. I v'e had my shaver for several years. I was concerned that the first shaver that I purchased might die pretty soon, so I bought another one.The only thing that the first shaver needed was a new blade. When the new shaver arrived, I took off the new blade and put it on my old shaver and it works good as new.

John,How do get the trim line to come out of your trimmer's head? Mine requires me to pull the trigger 20 times each time I want to advance it or I have to do it manually.

It has a somewhat medium buzz sound not real loud. It is the perfect shaver for traveling. I took this shaver to Eastern Europe on a 16 day tour and it performed great giving me a close shave every time. I did clean it each time after using it so as to keep it from clogging up. I don't have a real heavy beard which could cause problems for those who do. Hope this helps.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

I think you might have received a faulty one. Mine isn't too loud...I would say it is a little quieter than my hairdryer

It is not loud. Doesn't seem like a piece of junk to me. It would not work for a long-haired dog. It is really for trimming beards.

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

SMILE! Mine does that also. Took me 'aback' for just a quick moment, but, then I figured out it was the oil in the heater that is heating up and getting ready to do it's job. I hope it sounds a bit like 'gurgling'?????I hope this answers your questions.
