Also, Wahl trimmers last forever. I still have my plugin model that I've had since the 90s and my rechargeable that I've had over a decade.

Not all of them unfortunately. I've owned two of these [1], and both had the on/off switch fail within a year of use. I now have a corded Wahl trimmer that has a more old-fashioned switch that I expect will last quite a lot longer.

I haven’t had my cordless as long as I thought, but it’s this one:

I’ve had it since 2016. I mostly use it for shaving my head.
