"These clippers feel comfortable in my hand. Easy to use & do a good job cutting my poodles fur. She seems to like them as much as I do. Quiet yet powerful"

— Ames

"These came feeling cheap and I should have returned them but decided to stick it out. After a couple months, the blade slips and is unsafe to use. I had started a return when I got them but decided to keep them which I regret."
