Great Product
I’ve been impressed with this trimmer from the first time I used it. And my opinion hasn’t changed the more I’ve used it. I purchased some longer combs which makes it ideal for trimming my hair on my head as well. The handpiece is not thick and bulky, and being rechargeable is an added bonus.

At a glance
The Wahl Waterproof Stainless Steel Grooming Kit Black is a versatile cordless trimmer for beard, stubble, ear, nose and body grooming. It suits home users and travellers who want flexible length control, wet or dry use and easy rinsing. Key strengths include its IPX7 waterproof build, 34 cutting lengths and travel-friendly design. Its main limitation is that it is less specialised than dedicated professional barber clippers for heavy-duty haircut work.

Things to consider
Great for all-round personal grooming, but if you mainly want frequent full haircuts, sharp fading or heavy barber-style cutting, a dedicated professional clipper may be a better fit.
Home barber suitability score
8/10 - strong versatility for beard and body grooming at home, though it is not as specialised as a dedicated barber clipper for full haircut work.
Precision control rating
8/10 - 34 cutting lengths and multiple combs give solid control for shaping, edging and maintaining different grooming styles.
Ease of cleaning
Easy - the IPX7 waterproof design allows quick rinsing under water after use.
Travel friendliness
9/10 - compact cordless design, stainless steel body and travel lock make it easy to pack for trips.
Noise level vs category
Typical for a multi-purpose grooming kit
Key benefits
- 34 Cutting Lengths: Gives you broad control for everything from close stubble to longer, more shaped trims.
- 10 Premium Guide Combs: Makes it easier to switch between grooming tasks and maintain consistent results across different hair areas.
- IPX7 Waterproof Design: Lets you use it wet or dry and rinse the unit under water for simple clean-up.
- Cordless Lithium-Ion Power: Supports flexible grooming without being tied to a power outlet.
- 1-Minute Quick Charge: Gives you a fast top-up for short touch-up sessions when the battery is low.
- Stainless Steel Body: Adds a sturdy, premium feel that is well suited to regular handling and travel.
- Travel Lock: Helps prevent the trimmer turning on in your bag while commuting or travelling.
- Ultra-Close T-Blade with DLC Coating: Supports smoother, closer detail work with a cooler cutting experience.
Q: Can the Wahl WA9898-212 be used for more than beard trimming?
A: Yes. This kit is designed for beard, stubble, detail, ear, nose and body grooming, with multiple attachment heads including a vertical trimmer and detail shaver. It is more versatile than a single-head beard trimmer.
Q: What does the Diamond-Like Carbon Ultra-Close T-Blade do in real use?
A: It gives a closer, smoother trim while helping the blade run cooler during use. The T-Blade also covers more surface area than a narrow detail blade, so it suits edging, neckline work and larger body-grooming sections.
Q: Is the waterproof design suitable for shower use and easy rinsing?
A: Yes. This model has an IPX7 waterproof rating, so it can be used wet or dry and rinsed under water after grooming. That makes it practical for shower use, but it is still a trimmer, not a foil shaver for a clean-shave finish.
Q: How flexible is the cutting length range on this Wahl grooming kit?
A: It is built for a wide range of grooming styles, with 34 cutting lengths and 10 premium guide combs included. That gives more flexibility than a basic trimmer if you want anything from close stubble to longer, tidier beard or hair trims.
Q: Is the Wahl WA9898-212 suitable for travel or gym bag use?
A: Yes. The stainless steel trimmer body is compact, cordless and includes a travel lock to help stop it turning on in a bag. With a 1-minute quick charge for short touch-ups, it suits travel better than corded grooming kits.
