"I bought this clipper based on Youtube videos of different dog groomers. They all seem to recommend this one. I bought the corded one. I have tried it on my Havanese. Cuts like butter. I added the #30 blade as well. Keeps my dog hair much cleaner and easier to bath."

"Mini labradoodles who live to be groomed. Couldn't even really get started due to hot clippers. Did not cool down and stay cool after unplugging and starting over."
