The Wahl website says the 796200-2101 is their best, but Amazon sells the 9818 for more money and it looks more substantial.. Which one is better?

Apples and Oranges. The first one is a full size set of clippers and a beard trimmer. The 9818 is only a beard trimmer. To be totally honest I like the full size set of clippers, but the cordless trimer that comes with it leaves a lot to be desired. It uses 2 AA batteries and I have heavy beard hair. The trimmer does not work in my beard. But I have an old 9876 trimmer that I got new blades and a battery for. It combined with the 79600-2101 clippers is a great pair.

DaveS.....what in your opinion makes the Jet 1221VS better than the Delta 46-460? I've never been a fan of Delta myself but the 46-460 is very highly rated in Fine Woodworking.

I know this is much later than the original post, but in case anyone else is wondering the same I thought I'd answer it. I tried both, and ended up sticking with the ES8249S. However, there is not much of a difference at all. They have the same volume when shaving, they have the same comfort level, same close shave, the cleaner unit is the same, the display on the razor is the same.... The only difference is the 4th blade. I do think because of that the 8249S is just a bit quicker to shave my whole face, but it was not much of a difference at all. They were priced the same after Christmas due to steep Amazon price cuts and a 20 dollar rebate, so I got a great deal on the 8249S, otherwise I'd be perfectly fine with the ES8109S for a cheaper price.

Don't buy this one. I used it and it's terrible. Get the silver Wahl clipper, I can't remember the product number.

I don't know about the DW6080 and how it compares to the DW9280. If you are looking for strong steam - I recommend the DW9280. I love mine. The only drawback is it is a bit bulky. However, the amount of steam it produces cuts down on my ironing time.

Tracey, I have the Wahl and it doesn't cut close enough for me do if you looking for something that had zero closeness, ask the seller before buying.

I have the Wahl motion and love it. Don't know anything about the Bravura. All Wahl products are good quality.

Nothing that I can tell except price. If there is something different between the two it is well hidden. The both have the same dimensions, construction material, etc. I personally am buying the $6.97 version and have been very happy with them. I also got one of the 1312 versions and feel I wasted 4 bucks.

I honestly do not know, they actually appear to be very similar. But I can say that the Wahl Professional is the best one I have ever owned.

Shuang Ma. All of these cheaper ones on Amazon are going to be from a Chinese companies that you've not heard of. Mine was garbage but may have just been defective. I also had the little wl v911 which is great. I wish I had tried the wl v912 in that size range instead.

Go for the Incra Master Lift II. You won't regret it. Do not buy the one sold by Rockler. They will tell you it's the same, but it's not.

Take advice from someone who owns both in my opinion the osters are good but I believe that the wahls are great they have more versatility then.the osters and more power

I have no basis of comparison. But for what it's worth, The Wahl 84900 continues to work very well for my wife (who has cut my hair for 50+ years) and myself. It replaced a very, very old Wahl. I have "normal length", old fashioned parted hair that gets cut about every 3 weeks. We do not use the clip-on attachments.

I called Omega (it took a couple tries before I actually reached somebody) to ask about the 8004/6 vs 8007/8 their reply was "there aren't any differences worth mentioning." When I pressed further, "you can see from their description they're basically the same. Unless you like the different handle, i don't know why anybody would pay for the newer model." So either a) they're really bad at CS b) the person I spoke to was having a bad day or c) they're just trying to get an extra $30-40 per machine....

I got the Wahl 41854-7526 Professional Diamond 5 in 1 Blade. Shop around... you may be able to find a better price elsewhere.

The 228 is much better on thick carpets and most other areas. It has larger wheels and simpler construction. The 236 should be discontinued. It has been nothing but trouble for us. I won't buy another Miele vac as it seems too high maintenance. Even the bags are more than $5 each. Good luck.

Both of these items can be found on Amazon with reviews for each. They are nearly the same with the exception that the S3686E is a slightly more powerful motor, 14amp vs 12amp and comes in a different color and is more expensive then the SC3683A. Search for both model numbers on Amazon and read the reviews.
