Wahl Dog clipper

abbey2000

Hello, I am thinking of getting one of these for cutting my dogs hair:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wahl-Multi-Mains-Clipper-Instructional/dp/B000PTQ5HS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=garden&qid=1275300280&sr=8-1

I have two dogs, a mini schnauzer and poodle/schnauzer cross. i have a clipper that runs on battery when charged, but it is rubbish, the battery loses power very quickly and it wont run on mains at all. that is why i would prefer a mains operated one.

has anyone ever used the Wahl Dog Clipper, what do you think of it? or does any one know of any other one that they use that they find good?

Thanks.

I have an argos one too, but it was cheaper than that one and I can't find it on the site, it was kinda like the one on amazon I'd say.

I find it good, mains powered is way better than battery powered (I have both). It's not a professional one of course, but it works fine just for pets. I used to use it on my dogs (now they have long hair) and it worked fine.

I do dog grooming, and professional clippers obviously are better but they're really expensive, so for your own pet then it's not really worth it.

I use the wahl clippers, they are fine, I use them on a Tibetan terrier and a Lhasa Apso, as well as a friends wire haired terrier once.
Do make sure the dogs are well brushed and washed first as any dirt wreaks the blades. Always clean and oil as per instructions and they should keep going for a while.
So far mine have lasted a year with 2 monthly, sometimes more often trims.
Oh and they take a bit of practice to use so start with the longest blade and then the next and so on until you get the desired length and the hang of it, "cos once its gone its gone:p

Its the argos set I have too, comes with all the bits you need.

Oh and you might already know this, but always clip in the direction of hair growth, and keep the clipper blade flat to the skin, for an even cut.

I cut my own.
