Wahl Lithium Ion Pro Cordless Hair Clippers Model 79470 — Black, 12 Guards & Smart Charge, 2‑Hour Runtime

Wahl Lithium Ion Pro Rechargeable Cordless Hair Clippers (Model 79470) deliver professional-grade cutting power in a portable, battery-powered kit with Smart Charge LED indicators and 12 snap‑on guards.

This all-in-one clipper set pairs a high-torque motor and self‑sharpening precision blades with lithium‑ion battery technology so you can get multiple home haircuts on a single charge. The package includes 12 easy‑attach guards, an adjustable taper lever for blending and fading, and a full complement of grooming accessories stored in a compact case. Smart Charge technology shows battery status at a glance, and the clipper holds charge long term when not in use.

How long will a full charge last and how long can the battery sit unused?

A full charge gives up to two hours of continuous runtime, enough for several haircuts depending on length and technique. The lithium‑ion cell also resists memory effects and, when stored charged, can hold a charge for months.

• Up to 2 hours run time from one full charge.
• Battery can retain charge for up to 9 months when unused.
• Recommended to fully charge at least every 6 months to preserve battery health.

What cutting lengths and styling options are included?

The kit includes 12 Snap‑N‑Lock guards covering 1/16" to 1" plus left/right ear tapers, giving precise, consistent length options for fades, trims and all‑over cuts. The adjustable taper lever provides intermediate length control for blending and detailed work.

• Guards from 1/16" (closest) up to 1" for varied hair lengths.
• Left and right ear taper guides for tight contouring.
• Adjustable taper lever for smooth fades and seamless blends.

How durable and sharp are the blades for thick or coarse hair?

Wahl uses precision ground, self‑sharpening blades designed to maintain a keen cutting edge through repeated use, so they cut cleanly through thick, coarse hair without frequent blade changes. Regular oiling and basic cleaning keep performance optimal.

• Self‑sharpening high‑performance blades for long‑lasting sharpness.
• Included blade oil and cleaning brush for simple maintenance.
• Blade cover protects edges when stored in the case.

What accessories come in the 22‑piece kit and how does Smart Charge work?

The complete kit bundles the cordless clipper, 12 cutting guards, scissors, barber’s comb, styling comb, cleaning brush, blade oil, instruction booklet, blade cover and a storage case. Smart Charge uses a three‑state LED so you can see when the clipper is charging, fully charged, or low on power.

• 22 pieces including scissors, combs, and storage case for organized grooming.
• LED states: flashing red = low, solid red = charging, solid green = fully charged.
• High‑torque motor offers cord‑like cutting power in cordless form.

Who is this for: The Wahl Lithium Ion Pro (Model 79470) is suited to home users who want near‑professional cutting performance—families, at‑home barbers, and anyone trimming thick or textured hair who needs multiple length options and the freedom of cordless use. It’s also a practical choice for travelers and those who prefer a durable kit with clear battery feedback and easy maintenance.
