Does this have the 3-position taper control like the rechargeable model? I need a closer cut that the adjustible comb offers.

No it does not, and the blades are extremely dull, at least on the one I received, and it was tugging and pulling on my hair. I would not recommend this clipper at all!

No it does not. I bought this as a basic clipper but would not re-purchase it when this one finally goes.

There is just some black plastic hair length covers that go over the blade.Nothing is adjustable, this beard trimmer is basic. Roy

The comb provides the only adjustment, but it has 4 or 5 different positions for hair length. Also, mine was sharp out of the box and is still sharp. I highly recommend this clipper, not batteries to deal with and it gets the job done.

It is highly adjustable and has three cutting heads for thick beard, thin beard and ... thinner beard/hair. It uses a 'dial setting' to keep the distance from blade to hair/face constant until it is changed up or downwards. It's the best trimmer I've used in 27 years and is powerful and the charge lasts a long time with the Lithium battery.

It doesn't come with an adjustable guide comb. That attachment has to be purchased separately. I don't have that attachment, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness.

It has a "lock out" feature, meaning the trigger cannot be accidentally depressed without first "unlocking" the safety. There is NO provision to keep the trigger depressed while using the trimmer.

Yes it sure is. I use the primary blade without the comb attachment for my hairline and neckline. Although I do not use it myself there is a very small blade to aid in trimming around tight places. Now that I have used this trimmer for an extended period of time I like it even more than I did when I first submitted my review. It will not get you razor close but it is not intended to be a razor just a trimmer...

The length of the shaft is not adjustable. The mid grip handle position can be changed for comfort. I liked the power and performance of this unit but it's about a foot shorter than the gas-powered unit I had been using. I'm 6'2" and the shorter shaft means you have to bend forward with the trimmer...which stresses the back if used for a long period of time.

There is only a 1.5mm - 3mm - 6mm and a 9mm. With the adjustable comb attachment it goes .2mm to 16mm.

Actually it DOES have a trimmer in the back that pops up that works reasonably well. I use it when I need to quickly outline my beard. It doesn't trim\outline as crisp as my Andis T-edger or Wahl 3080 but it gets the job done. I purchased mine last August, so the only caveat with my information is that perhaps the newest model that the previous responder purchased could have been changed by the manufacturer. I would suggest going to Wahl's site and confirming.

Yes, it has the closed comb design vs the L5 (Gillette Tech style) open comb.

i think it's a newer model w/a slightly shorter blade. i also went to their site f/comparison before purchasing. either way, you cannot to wrong w/these shears. it's battery lasts forever as you don't have to recharge often. cleanup is easy & if you purchase the extension arm, edging is a breeze. this is the best shears i've purchased.

Hi Karen, First, you have to learn to read Japanese! Seriously, the instructions, brief as they are, are printed on the back of the paper insert. Just think of it as a comb, One side has equally spaced and length teeth and that side is for tapering and blending the hair. The other side with unequally spaced teeth is for thinning by taking some strands while leaving others. the dial of course adjusts the blades to take more or less hair. Frankly I only use the tapering and blending side and usually with the blade fully out. It takes courage to make the first cut but when you get used to it I just use it like I was combing my hair naturally and it does a good job of a normal hair trimming! Good Luck

The cutting mechanism is 1.5 inches wide. The adjustable comb is just a tiny bit wider than that to cover the cutting mechanism.

It does not. To keep the trimmer running the trigger must be squeezed which is no problem for me and I believe that a "lock on" feature can be harmful. This trimmer is outstanding and light weight, the best that I have ever owned.

The comb is 38mm (1.5in) wide. The comb is removable, and inside are your choice of two trimmers (you swivel the head around to select the one you want). One is 32mm wide and the other is a little less than 16mm. You must select the larger trimmer to put the comb back on the unit -- its not possible to slide it on if you have the small trimmer selected.

Yes it does. I don't think it's the best positioned one they've ever made, but it works very well. The design is only an issue of you're trying to trim just above the ears. Additionally I will add that the charge this battery holds is awesome. I've been using nothing but Braun electric razors for 25 or so years and this one is stellar.

The guide combs are not classified in that way. They are numbered 1 to 8 with 1 being the shortest. With that being said there should be appropriate lengths for your requirements or at least very close to that. Good luck. I have used mine for years and have been pleased with how great a job it has done. Powerful, balanced motor, good weight and easy to control.
