Does this trimmer work when corded and cordless? In other words, can it run while plugged in, or does it have to be charged first?

Has to be charged first for best results can be used without plug afterwards Ive had quite a few like anything there made to break just bought same one your looking at after 30 to 40 uses done had to pay to send it to Wahl that ticked me off!! but there nice

Yes, after a charge it runs without being plugged in, it works both ways. I just wish it had some sort of light to tell you when it needs charging and when it is charged up.

It no doubt will work, but the instruction guide says not to do it. From reading the manuals of other devices, it seems that running the device while charging somehow damages the battery. The Wahl has a quick charge feature, but I didn't try it. I just plugged it in overnight and sidestepped the whole problem. I'm pretty sure you get the longest battery duration (time before failure) and the greatest amount of stored energy (trims per charge) if you follow the directions and charge it fully before first use.

it's better charge it first, i bought a brand new, it worked earlier with plugged in, but now, it die down even when plugged in because it doesn't get charged enough, so bottom line, it needs to be charged and better use cordless. good luck

You can run it while its charging, but not sure if that is recommended by the manufacturer. Mine will charge pretty quick though, enough for a quick shave.

It is not recommended to run it while plugged in. Like most rechargeable products, it it intended to run from only the battery. Properly charge up the battery before use, let it discharge and then recharge.

The battery on the Wahl trimmer is quite good. I get a full charge in about an hour and it holds it charge for a long time. I never think about if I have enough power or not since I purchased this. I have never had the need to run it with the charging wire.

You may use it with cord (I mean it is working when it is plugged in) but using these devices with cord is not recommended. Yes you can also cut your hair with this! I did and like it!

You have to plug a cord end into it. This comes with the sweeper. You do not want to keep it plugged in all the time because it will eventually ruin the charging ability by shortening the life of the battery. Only plug it in when it dies from use.

Yes you can use it when the battery runs down. Under those conditions, I have just plugged in the cord and it runs fine.

It operates both plugged in and without the cord, when charged. Very handy feature. Hubby very pleased with the razor. It's his 4th Remington of that style but first one that works when plugged in, as well as cordless. They don't make them anymore, so Amazon is only way to go...

That is what happened to this trimmer at just about a year. Have to use it plugged in.

This trimmer is not battery powered. It has a 120VAC motor, so you need an extension cord. Use one that has at least 14AWG wires, especially if it is over 25 Ft., because of the amperage of the Motor.

Yes. It runs on a built in rechargeable battery and can be used corded or cordless.

Yes. With the unit plugged in, it works like any other speaker. Charge the battery and you have the option to go cordless.

Thanks for the reply. I did buy this shaver five months ago and love it. As you say, leaving it plugged in after a full charge doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm sure there are no issues using it with a cord, but it is more convenient to keep the cord stored until needed for charging. I can shave many times on a single charge.For those of you out there thinking about buying an electric shaver, you can't go wrong with this one.

I leave mine plugged in. The last one worked for nearly 8 years. It will do 2-3 full haircuts on a single charge

Yes it does work while plugged in! But, if you want a close shave this is not the unit for you! If I had to do it over, I would have purchased a rotary shaver!

I have 2 batteries for my trimmer. I charge them both up and unplug them from the charger. You do not need to leave it plugged in. When the green light goes out they are ready to use.

No the trimmer is not cordless, uses an extension cord.I like it because it's light weight

Hi...It's not battery operated. It's electric. So while it is cordless you have to use an extension cord (plug into the trimmer and plug into the wall outlet). Hope this helps!

The trimmer comes with a battery charger. The battery is interchangeable with other B&D; cordless devices which is really convenient. Lights on the charger let you know if the battery is fully charged or still in the process of charging.
