A razor that cuts both ways--in that I mean that is shaves off the price of taking your furkid to a groomer and it cuts away the restrictions of time--the need to schedule a time to take your critter to a groomer and finding the time to take your furkid in. A first timer to grooming, I was, at first, shaky and jittery and wondering if I had made a mistake in purchasing this clipper. But, after a few timid strokes with the clipper, I gained confidence and got the feel of the clipper and how best to hold and use it. After that, it was such a delight to see the fur fall away and leave a new smooth coat of short, easy to bathe and brush fur. The dog loved being groomed and the cool, clean results and I loved knowing I was saving money with each use. The clipper does get a bit hot, but holding off for a few minutes lets it cool off and you are soon ready to go again. The clipper pays for itself in short-order.

I recently bought these clippers from amazon. They work great. I have an English Springer Spaniel which has quite thick hair. These clippers plowed right through his hair without slowing down. My wife and I were able to give him an decent looking trim considering we've never done it before. My only complaint is that they do seem to get quite hot after using them for a while but it wasn't uncomfortable to handle them.

I thought It was going to be hard just when I saw the Clipper, I was very scared I was gonna messed up my schnauzer's cut but not at all it was very confortable and preety easy and for the price it was even better now I dnt have to waste 51 dollars in my pets groomer anymore!!!
IM SOOO HAPPY WITH THIS!!!

I'm surprised at all the reviews that say this clipper doesn't get hot. So far, I've only used it to shave my poodle's face and feet, and it got very hot. The whole barrel got hotter than the less fancy ones at the grooming salon. The blade got very hot and I was glad I bought a can of cool 'n lube spray.
#10 blade performed well around feet but I'm going to get a size 7/8 blade for feet and face for easier detail work.

After using these a couple of times on my long thick haired dog I am very pleased with the way they cut. I have tried cheaper sets purchased from pet stores but they would barely cut her hair. I would definitely recommend these.
