WahlProfessional Animal Bravura Pet, Dog, Cat, and Horse Corded/Cordless Clipper Kit, Gunmetal (#41870-0425)

Doodle owners are no doubt finding their wonderful pets are very high maintenance, as we quicky discovered. The thick and tightly curled coat of our golden doddle seems to matt instantly, despite our best efforts to comb it daily. Grooming fees every six-eight weeks started to chip away at our budget. I don't begrudge the grooming fees, because it's a lot of work, but since we are retired, I need to stretch the money for other things.This isn't for everyone to tackle, but we decided to try clipping our doodle ourselves. This clipper performed flawlessy with the first use. It's solidly made, quiet, and easy to use as a cordless. There was plenty of charge to finish the trim. It will quickly pay for itself, albeit we have to be willing to put in the effort.

First, we have two Shitzsu pups, both rescues. Younger one always never liked grooming, and groomer had complained that he was fighting her.I decided that I want to cut his hair.I've been doing this to older one for years, using cheap clipper.I wanted good clipper to make it easy on me and Mookie.I read many reviews of many different clippers. It was hard to decide. There are so many of them, and so many different opinions.I chose Bravura due to reports of it running cool, quiet, and being cordless.So First I tried it on Teddy.Oh my!! What a difference. This thing is very sharp, cuts super easy. It runs almost completely cool. It is not silent, but it buzzes a little bit. Not bad at all. Quieter than some corded ones.It is very light, and so easy to use without fighting the cord.SO it took half the time or less to cut Teddy's hair. I used one of provided combs. Bravura had no problem at all, even when going trough some matted hair (our pups get mats around arm pits, and chest). After maybe 45 min, maybe little more battery was still at 2 bars.I started other dog, Mookie. Again, I was very happy with performance, and what's best, he did not mind!! I guess he was more comfortable with me than groomer :)After all, it took about two full charges to cut two dogs hair (13 and 18 lbs Shihtzsu/Shihpoo) And really, clipper did not stop, I just decided to stop when battery was almost discharged.To sum this up.Goods:1. Powerful2. Sharp - very easy to cut, and cuts very well3. Runs cool4. Quiet, not silent, but not annoying.5. Comes with different lengths combs (plastic)6. Light7. Will run when when connected to provided power supply8. I like battery level indicatorBads:Really, nothing. Kinda expensive, but after using it only once, IT WAS VERY MUCH WORTH IT!!!Things to remember:Clean the blades often, and oil them. (Small bottle of oil provided, but can buy bigger one for $4-5 where hair clippers are sold)

I bought these clippers to replace my Andis clippers which quickly became very hot while in use and also started to make a lot of noise. I did a lot of research before selecting these Wahl clippers and I'm very pleased with the results. They held their charge during the hour I was grooming my poodle. They are reasonably quiet and most importantly, the blade does NOT GET HOT. My miniature poodle was so much calmer when I groomed him with these clippers. I was happy to see that combs came with the clippers however the guard combs that came were either quite short or reasonably long. I thought the #4 comb would be a medium cut but unfortunatly my sweet poodle will be wearing his summer cut a little earlier than expected this year!! And in the meantime I've ordered a new set of combs that have a better selection of lengths.

Outstanding quality trimmers that perform great, quiet, are light, and feel good in your hand.

I purchased the Wahl Bravura Lithium cordless clippers on the advice of many other groomers. I am a professional groomer and have been grooming for over 10 years. Originally, my plan was to use these as my main clippers, but in reality they are much better for just face, feet, and sanitary clipping. But I still love them! They are incredibly light-weight and quiet. They have made those first time puppy trims a total breeze, and they are a great size for those hard to reach tuck up areas! The blade that comes with the clippers is very sharp and cuts the hair like a hot knife through butter. And speaking of hot, these clippers have yet to overheat on me, and I have been using them for a few months now.These clippers came with a cute carrying case, a set of plastic guard combs, and a charging stand. I haven't had any issues with my battery going dead, but I also tend to pop it on the charger in between uses. I have not tried out the guard combs yet either, but I personally prefer metal guard combs (which you can buy for these if you want them).Last week I dropped these from a distance of about 4 feet and the housing for the blade did break, I've been looking for a replacement part but for the time being I just used electrical tape to hold the top together and they are STILL WORKING GREAT!Overall I would absolutely buy these again, but they are fragile to a point so you do need to be more careful than I was. Happy clipping!

This tool is a great gift for someone working in the dog grooming profession. Very sturdy and reliable. A great multitool which offers a lot of versatility. Would highly recommend this product
