This lasted several months, and now the on/off button doesn't work and the device tries to stay on. Everyone has this issue. Has Wahl addressed it?

Let me see if I can help. First the "problem" has been addressed. Wahl was concerned with the power button to be deactivate of activate accidentally so a delay was put into the switch so when it is turned on it can not be turned off for 2 seconds and likewise when the unit needs to be turned off. It turns out an annoyance was created rather than fixed so that has been changed to not have a delay. If you push the on/off switch rapidly, it will not engage the electronic switch. As others have stated, Wahl offers a 5 year warranty and stands behind their product, so if you bought on Amazon, you have a record of your purchase and can get it fixed or replaced at no charge if it you discover an issue.

Same issue after two years-over which I used the unit only twenty times, so less than a month's worth of shaves for someone using it daily. Just read on the Wahl site that there's a 5-year limited warranty, so I'll give that a try.

Had instances where the button didn't respond, but today turned on spontaneously, randomly, and would not turn off. Started to burn up and hand to open it to modulate the switch. Almost cut the leads. Certainly looking up the warranty.

I had this problem. It did not turn off on me this morning. I called Wahl and they are sending a replacement. Let's see how the new one works.

Wahl offers a 5-year warranty, have you thought of using that ? It's probably a defect, unfortunately, no everything can come of the line in perfect condition. Wahl makes professional quality products, meant to last years.

I just bought it yesterday and this happened after the first time I used it. I can't turn it off unless I plug it in. I was just checking Amazon to see if this was a typical issue. I'll call Wahl today to see if I can get a replacement since I don't know about refunds after using it.

My WolVol stopped working - it simply would not turn on - a month after I got it. Neither Amazon nor Wolvol would respond to my inquiries.Harry

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a defect. I haven't had any problem with mine. I think I've had it over a year now. Good luck.

Same here. After about a year and a half, I seem to be losing buttons by the month. Either they stop working, or require massive pressure, and then they repeat. Dissapointed, but will have to replace since I've become dependant on the functionality. Maybe the harmony one, with it's hard buttons, will be more resilient?

I got mine yesterday and worked great for about 5 minutes... But I noticed the SOUND on/off option wasn't available on my unit - as shown on the user manual... I then pressed the factory reset option (hoping the sound option would appear), but instead the unit completely quit working... Dewalt said there isn't suppose to be a sound option and didn't know why my user manual was showing it.... There was no fix so I ended up having to return it for a new one... The wait begins again....

Same problem here. Remote worked great for about a year and a half, now a bunch of my buttons don't work - or when they do they repeat. I finally had to throw it away and am now researching for a replacement.

yes, mine just started turning off and I can not get the buttons on the hose to work. My unit is just over 2 years old. I really love it when it works, but not so much right now.

I have the exact same phone and a while back my phone's power button stopped working and it would turn itself off randomly. So after doing some research (what I am about to describe will in fact void your warranty), I opened up my phone, manually removed the power button so it would not turn itself off randomly. Now I utilize this product as an "On" button for my phone and it works like a charm.

The buttons quit working on mine about 9 months after purchase. I called B&D; and they helped me get a replacement.

I haven't had any problem with mine. I would suggest contacting Worx rather than Amazon. They are the ones that made and marketed them. I think it has been discontinued but they can probably help.

I think yours is defective. I have used it everyday for 3 months and not 1 problem. Best one I've ever owned!

I as well had this unit stop working randomly...but I used it like 20 times over 3 months. First it would not always turn on, today it wont turn on at all!

Mine did the same thing and finally one broke. I wound up tossing it after a couple of months. :(

Mine doesn't work either anymore. I've learned it's better to spend a little bit more and get a better product. I bought another popular brand a few years ago and it lasted two years.

I had a similar problem with the first unit I bought, after several years of use. Ordered a new one thinking it could not be repaired. I live in Panama and there is no Motorola service shop down here, but a friend of mine recommended an electronic store and I took it there and they fixed it. The technician, and a very good one, as it turned out, said it was a problem with the on/off button not making proper contact or something like that, and fixed it quickly, easily, and cheap. Now I'm using the same old one and have the new for backup when the other finally dies on me... I recommend you send it to an electronic technician to take a look before getting rid of it... Good luck!

I had this same issue with mine last night. I finally had to Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds for it to turn off. I also plugged it into the charger to attempt to turn it off. It finally did turn off after an hour of searching here on web. However, it will not move past the android guy in the middle of screen when turned back on. I am returning it today.

I had the same experience as one of the other commenters. I've purchased this two twice, and each time it began to malfunction after only a month. Very disappointing. Purchased the first one in October 2013 and the second in November 2013.
