Sminiker Low Noise Horses Clippers Rechargeable Cordless Pet Clippers Grooming Kit with Storage Bag 5 Speed Professional Animal Clippers Pet Grooming Kit

Updated 12/17/22: Ok so I don’t know what I did with my original clippers so I bought a second set and I still love them! The design has been updated instead of the white ceramic it’s now black. The noise level is still very quiet and the vibration is lower than expected and it’s a positive for me! I use these for my oldest kitty who turns 10 next year(Ragdoll and Calico mix) because she is both deaf and blind and doesn’t understand grooming and clippers and is extremely sensitive to touch. She can’t groom herself anymore and sometimes has accidents with her back end so it’s easier on her and me if I shave back there. I had to use a pair of out old clippers(for humans) and she didn’t tolerate it well. With these she’s calm, holds perfectly still and doesn’t try to run away and hide or try to claw or bite. It’s harder on her to use a clean damp cloth to wipe her clean so getting these again was a blessing! They’re quick, precise, quiet, low vibration, and I recommend them to anyone who has to shave/trim their fur babies. Original review: I got this because I had at the time 2 dogs and 2 cats(now 3 cats and no dogs). The dog and cat I got this specifically for was a Pomeranian and a Ragdoll/Calico mix because of long hair. For the Pomeranian it was for maintenance on her bathroom area because if it wasn’t shaved off in the back she would get matted bathroom business in her fur and for the Ragdoll/Calico mix she has dry skin, skin allergies and seasonal allergies that flare up along with allergies to fleas and hotspots.(for dry skin I use coconut oil or olive oil and let sit for 1-7 days and bathe. Ask your vet what they recommend.) Both animals did not do well with new people, the vet, or the groomers. This groomers kit is extremely convenient and affordable for what it does and it’s very quiet, works wonderfully, easy to maintain, and it made grooming so much more easy, convenient and enjoyable for them and me. I have 3 cats now and due to fleas I had to shave my Ragdoll/Calico mix, and my domestic shorthair.(youngest never needed shaved thank goodness) It made it safer and easier to groom them at home because they get carsick, the domestic shorthair is extremely wary and does not handle strangers well and it was less stress on them to do this at home. I recommend trimming nails beforehand because with cats(and dogs) their nails can shred you pretty badly. Talk in soft and gentle tones, give lots of praise, and lots of cuddles and treats after it’s all said and done. As it is, my cats get baths regularly every 1-2 months, nails trimmed every week, and as spring hits my eldest gets shaved down completely about twice a year sometimes 3, and about every 2-3 weeks to shave her bathroom area because she can no longer groom herself. I highly recommend this to anyone who has issues with their pets and the groomers so long as you are comfortable with doing this, have some knowledge or experience with this because you do have to be extremely careful with grooming. If you aren’t careful you can end up cutting them so make sure you stay calm and keep them calm and keep a steady hand. The clipper guards to help with length of the coat help but always be careful with trying to groom at home.

I like that it doesnt nick when shaving difficult to reach areas and cuts close, holds a charge a long time and seems well made.

My cat is 18 years old and is no longer grooming herself like she used to. She's a VERY floofy long hair and mats started building up on her underside and haunches. I bought this because it says it is low noise. The first time I turned it on she didn't even look up to see what was happening. This cat runs out the room every time I turn on the vacuum or my husband turns on his electric razor, she hates all buzzing noises. This razor was so quiet she didn't even look over at me. I brought it close to her and still nothing. I did need to have the kids pet her face and neck while I shaved the mats out from her underside but she was totally fine the entire time. The petting was more to distract her from having her belly touched than the sound of the razor. Only issue: when I put on the attachments it DID get loud. Not loud enough to scare my cat but the way the plastic clips onto the metal does cause some rattling. I decided not to try and use those on her since my main goal was just to remove the mats. Everything fits in the case really nice. I don't feel like I have to squeeze everything together "just so" in order to get it to close. I would definitely recommend this to ANY cat owner who needs to remove mats.

Update (7/8/2021): I recently rescued a 12 lb medium-haired stray cat that was totally mat-bound, requiring me to shave his entire torso down to the skin. The clipper was able to perform this task as long as I used it without a comb attachment, going slow enough to prevent over-heating, with frequent stops to clear blades of matted hair, and give the cat a break from clipping. The clippers were quiet enough so that the cat was not frightened, and eventually fell asleep while being clipped. No guarantees that other cats will tolerate the sound, as Mario was quite ill at the time of rescue. He is doing better healthwise months after the "shave", and has proven to be a very chill cat. Other cats might find the clipper noise and vibration too intense to tolerate. Original Review: I am using this product to trim the fur of my two longhaired cats to prevent matting. Basically, I'm shortening the length of fur on the belly, under armpits, and around back legs, to make it easier to comb out the undercoat through the guard hairs to prevent mats from forming near the skin. I am still on a learning curve, and only clip a little fur at a time to keep grooming a more positive experience. Clipper is louder than I hoped, but not as loud as some I have used. My cats tolerate the noise as long as we keep the sessions short. I am clipping without using comb attachments, as they are difficult to comb through the cotton-like undercoat. Clippers aren't really designed to be able to safely cut through mats near the skin. So I am doing any mat busting using hand tools, then adding finishing touches with clippers. I really like the fact that the clippers are cordless, light, and not tiring to use. Since I am spot clipping and not shearing a whole cat, I am not sure whether these clippers get too hot during use. Also, haven't used it enough to have to recharge it, so not sure how long a charge lasts, and the time required for recharge. Haven't had to do major blade cleaning or replacement as of yet, so can't comment on that either.

Fewer and fewer commercial groomers will "do" cats. It's costly anyway. Mine recently quit handling cats, giving me a phone number for one that allegedly still does. I can't confirm or deny that -- what I do know is that the one to whom she referred me doesn't return phone calls. My domestic longhair is pretty mellow. So, seeing an inexpensive clipper, I thought I'd give it a try. It's not like I wanted my cat to look like she's all slicked up for a cat show; it's just that in hot weather, when her coat grows out too long, she gets lethargic and generally acts bummed out. Tilda's a medium-size cat, all white, whose coat had grown out to the point where she looked like a miniature polar bear, and acted like somebody who's just too doggone hot. I installed the 3 mm guard and got busy. These clippers are indeed quiet, and the sound they do make is low-pitched. I won't lie -- my cat is slightly uneasy when I'm clipping her. She gets up every 10 or 15 seconds and moves a few feet, then settles down again. But I don't try to restrain her or hold her down. I let her move and then follow her and get some more, praising her lavishly the whole time. This goes on for maybe five minutes, then she's had enough and actually leaves the room. Fine with me -- I got five minutes' worth of fur off her, and tomorrow's another day. When a week or so had gone by, I was satisfied ... she acted like she felt cooler and better. Certainly doesn't look like a professional groomer's job (see "before" and "after" images, but know that the "before" was a few months ago -- she'd gotten way shaggier), but neither of us cares. Obviously, cats are independent beasts who are equipped with sharp claws and who generally do not tolerate foolishness gladly. Mine is sweet-tempered and forgiving. You know your own cat, so your estimation of the chances of happy home grooming should be the deciding factor. But if you want to go for it, let's talk about the equipment I'm reviewing here. The clipper is USB-chargeable, and it comes with instructions, charging adapter/cable, an assortment of guards from the 3 mm I use up to, I believe, 12 mm. There's also a cleaning brush, a small vial of lubricating oil, and a pair of barber-type scissors (which I haven't used). Everything stores neatly in a black zippered storage case. I'm very happy with this clipper, so far. It's an excellent value -- way less expensive than a single visit to the former groomer. Recommended.

I’ve had these clippers since September last year. I love everything about them except that I can no longer use them. About a month ago I was grooming my babygirl and they kept snagging. Turns out there’s two teeth missing. Unfortunately I had to put her down looking a hot mess. It just added to the devastation. I ordered a new set from a different brand which arrived yesterday, and I’ve already initiated a return because they’re complete trash. So instead of going through that over and over, I’m ordering a new pair of these with hopes they outlast the current one. I’ve only used them 6-7 times, so there shouldn’t be missing teeth. The blade is still sharp and everything. They’re still good in my opinion especially at the price point.

These have worked great so far. They are real quiet and cut good for trimming horse manes making the task quick and easy.

Our 11 year old Tabby, Stella, had terrible mats on her back. She's overweight and can't reach back there to groom herself, and they had just gotten out of control. Frankly, I'm embarrassed that we let them get that bad. In the past, we would catch the mats before they got too big (the size of maybe a peach pit) and then just snip them out with scissors. But this time, we couldn't. They were several very large mats clustered together and beyond being cuttable. So, I ordered these. They arrived today, I charged them up (only took about 3 hours) and then we got to work. We expected it to take a good hour to an hour and a half, because we had no idea how she would tolerate it and we thought we would have to take frequent breaks. So, we had cold drinks and kitty treats at the ready, and settled in for a grueling 60 to 90 minutes. Yeah, I don't think so. Even tho it took several minutes to get the hang of it, we were FINISHED within 20 minutes! The mats are totally gone, and she tolerated the whole procedure with zero discomfort and she didn't even seem to mind. We were very careful and went slowly so as to make absolutely certain that we didn't injure her, but within 5 minutes or so, we had the process down and it went very smoothly. The clippers definitely have a hum, but it's nowhere near as loud as I expected. No real vibration that seemed excessive or anything like that. Stella really didn't hardly bat an eyelash (but, to be fair, she is a pretty mellow cat). I am so grateful for these things!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I have been eyeballing all of our pets to see if anyone else needs a shave, LOL. I highly recommend that you look at videos online of cat grooming so you have an idea of how to use them (shave in the direction of the hair growth, things like that) and just BE CAREFUL. Great product!!!!

We are very pleased with this trimmer. It charges really fast. It’s very quiet which didn’t bother him whatsoever. He just didn’t like being held still. But the back where he’s shaved, that’s where he gets his mats. It was very simple to use. It glided right through his hair and now he feels really silky. We tried the spacers, but for his hair they don’t work because his hair is too long. The scissors are really good quality. I love the metal comb that comes with it. It works excellent on little mats balls right behind his ears. Before this, I would use my husband‘s hair trimmer. It did the job, but it was noisy, heavy and harder to manage than this. This is great! His fur needs a little bit more adjusting, but that’s good enough for today and he seems quite happy now. The quality & the price is absolutely fabulous Thank you ever so much.

Low noise, easy to use on horse, dog & human.

It comes as advertised. Quiet, minimal vibration and very easy to use. I found the scissors worked great too! I had no clue what I was doing as I have never groomed a dog, but my little Star looks great! I would totally recommend this product. I can see why others use it for their cats! It’s worth it! I was able to get it at a small discount.

If I could rate this out of 100 I’d give it that! My cat (Norwegian Forest Breed) has been extremely difficult for groomers when it comes to hair removal. I had zero issues and he purred his whole grooming experience which is actually shocking. Great kit. Easy to use and works extremely well with thick fur.
