I picked the Babyliss clippers over the Wahl and I'm kinda regretting it 6 months in

I picked the Babyliss clippers over the Wahl and I'm kinda regretting it 6 months in. I had to choose between a Babyliss Pro Gold FX and a Wahl Senior back in March when my old corded Oster started dying. I went with the Babyliss because everyone on Instagram hyped them up and I liked the idea of cordless. Fast forward 6 months and the battery life is already dropping off, plus the blade alignment drifts after like 10 cuts. I do about 15-20 cuts a week in my shop in Nashville. My buddy who stuck with the Wahl Seniors hasn't touched his charger in 3 months. Any of you guys switched brands and had buyers remorse like this?

Yeah but did you grab the Babyliss from a legit seller or one of those Amazon third party places? I've heard some of the batteries they ship are straight up duds. But honestly the blade drift thing is wild, I've had mine for like 8 months and it's been solid so far. Maybe it's just the newer batches or something but I'd hit up their warranty before you give up on it completely.

Did you try contacting Babyliss direct about the drift? I had a similar issue with my old trimmer and they replaced it no questions, totally worth hitting them up.
