I recently bought it to replace the very good Wahl 300 series that I had for 3 years, it didn't break, I just wanted something else, and the machine proved to be excellent. So I will compare the chrome one with it since I don't have any other experience... Initially, the case is of good construction, it can hold things, just put the heads in a box if you have one so they don't break inside the case. The accessories it comes with are more than enough, some may be unnecessary or useless, like the head for eyebrows... The "apron" it comes with is made of nylon, so don't rely on it if you plan on using it professionally... The machine has a more "cheap" feel compared to the 300, more "plastic" let's say, without meaning that it is bad, it just feels less durable in the hand... It is very quiet, lighter than the 300, and has a long enough cord that seems to require attention when folding... It cuts without any problems and doesn't leave tufts... Its guards are the same as the 300 and I looked into this because I wanted to use the old ones if any broke, but they also feel more "cheap" without meaning that they are not good... The scissors are very simple, just like the combs, the small machine has a blade for details but that's it... For amateur haircuts, it is impeccable, I don't know how it is for mustaches... Buy it without a second thought, it's worth it if you find it for around 65 euros... A very decent solution...

Update: Having done several haircuts now, I believe I have a good idea about the machine, so I will write some additional things... The machine indeed has a more "cheap" feel in terms of grip, but that doesn't mean it's not good, on the contrary, it cuts very well even hair with more length (with the number 8 guard, for example). The foot that opens and closes the blades sometimes gets stuck a little... I didn't like the guards it came with because they looked fake (they didn't affect the haircut), so I use the ones I had from the 300... Overall, I would say it is a very good solution for amateur and slightly more advanced haircuts, just don't forget to clean it with a good oil to maintain it properly...
