Wahl Lithium Ion Stainless Steel Groomer #9818
The best beard trimmer
This sturdy steel-bodied tool is sharp, precise, powerful, and versatile. No cordless beard trimmer is perfect, but this is the only one our pro barber testers said they’d use in their shop.
$60 from Walmart
The Wahl Lithium Ion+ Stainless Steel beard trimmer ( #9818) has the power and versatility of a professional tool in a cordless body, with one of the fastest, most high-powered motors we’ve ever seen in a rechargeable beard trimmer. It was the clear favorite among the barbers who tested 13 of our top contenders, and the onlyrechargeable trimmer they said they would actually use in their barbershop. It has more attachments and clip-on guides than most of the models we tested, an unusually sturdy all-metal body, and a resilient battery that delivered more than five hours of continuous power in our endurance test—enough to last several weeks without charging, depending on how often you use it. Like most cordless trimmers, it has occasional issues with its electronics, but it has a five-year warranty, and Wahl is reliably responsive to complaints.
