SUPERB for pets AND people! Nervous dog tolerates well. Pays for itself in 1 cut!
By cr@ft3r$ on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2023
My precious (but very anxious) pup HATED going to the groomer, especially the electric clippers. When my groomer went out of business, I bought Scaredy Clips scissors for grooming my dog at home (which work well but time-consuming). I spent a ton of time picking a buzzer. I wanted a professional grade wireless clipper from Wahl, but those were super expensive and most were corded. When I found this, because they're so inexpensive, I didn't expect much, but I was blown away - these are fantastic and you don't need anything more expensive to cut your dog's fur at home. Your dog loves you and hates their groomer, so they'd probably prefer you groom them instead. This pays for itself in 1 cut. Works well on humans too! I just started cutting my human partner's hair at home and - instead of buying a separate buzzer for him - I use these wahl pet clippers and guards on him! Better than a $60 hair salon cut. I was TOTALLY inexperienced with electric clippers when I got these and now I feel like a pro! So easy to use. Battery life is EXCEPTIONAL! If you want to cut pet or human hair at home, you cannot go wrong with these. TIPS: make sure to oil blades each time. Don't ever use on wet hair or wet fur - must dry completely. On dogs, you go WITH the grain (which is important but feels weird) and on humans, you go against the grain. If you have a nervous dog, before using it on them, spend time each day for 2 weeks conditioning them (can google for more instructions) to this by giving them treats with the buzzer on (don't use it on them yet) and tell them something like "good buzzer!" when they don't bark or bite at it - after 2 weeks of conditioning them to get closer and more comfortable to it, they'll be more ready for their fur cut (my dog actually LOVES it, seems very soothing to him, and by contrast he nips at me when I use silent scissors to trim his toe fur). Whether for pets or humans, watch tutorial youtube videos first - very helpful. You won't regret this purchase. This kit contains everything you need.

JUNK-Made for cutting human type of hair, not animal fur/hair
By Roald on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016
How is this #1 for cat grooming? Seriously? It is nothing more than my beard trimmer with a fatter handle and the exact same cutting edge and space between blades. This is effective for the type of hair humans have but not animal fur/hair. Since the blade teeth are so close, thick fur presses up against it without going between the teeth so it cuts minuscule amounts of hair each time. I have a Ragdoll cat with long and thick hair. I spent 1 hour 3 days in a row trying to groom him. Ridiculous! My cat was a bit nervous at first but then liked it and he would just lay there and roll from one side to the other to get different spots like I was petting him. About an hour was all he was interested in getting and all I could physically do. That said I was only able to trim about 1/2 his body in all of that time. Not sure how this is good for dogs either since all of the dogs I've had also have this type of thick fur next to their skin. The attachments only made the cutting slower. Battery lasted well and I did not have to recharge. The only useful thing in the whole pack was the scissors and i already have one of those. I trimmed more with the scissors in 10 min than an hour with this trimmer. My father in law said he has always used sheep shears to get most of it off and then touch up the more sensitive areas with an electric razor like this. The distance between the teeth allows the fur/hair to easily get between the blades for cutting and that is similar to what some of these grooming clippers should be like although maybe not as extreme. Why do pets hate getting groomed? -Because it takes so long with junk clippers make for human hair. Returning this and will just use a scissors until something that acyually works comes along. My beard trimmer will easily work in the place of this product and I can sterilize my trimmer, or just buy a cheaper $20 version.
