"My pup doesn't like noise! I thought all clippers were the same. But no. This clipper is so quiet, my pup doesn't mind it at all."

— ToriW

"I was so bummed with the performance of these clippers. First thing I noticed was the considerable vibration in them.

Bottom Line

It is decent for smaller pets but has major durability and functionality issues, especially with thicker fur, making it less ideal for larger breeds or high-density coats.
