Wahl Professional Animal Bravura Lithium Ion Clipper - Pet, Dog, Cat, and Horse Corded/Cordless Clipper Kit, Turquoise (41870-0438)

If there were more stars, I’d given them! Wish I had gotten this years ago. I have a Cavachon which has a mixture of Cavalier and Bichon fur. It curls around itself and easily causes tangles which can get matted if not groomed frequently. Combing in between alone doesn’t entirely eliminate the problem because it curls right up again and is very cotton like. I used to cut with blunt dog sheers and cheap trimmer but it wasn’t great looking and took forever so I started grooming appointments. I’ve been through several. One was hard to get a hold of to make appt. and always a different person. The next was rough with her and she was traumatized. They shaved her entire tail!!! She looked like a rat and couldn’t walk right after. She kept walking sideways with her back bent and hitting furniture. Then we found a great groomer, but rebooking within the six weeks or so was near impossible which left me around three months in between appts. I had to trim with cheap clippers to get us by. Enter this beauty. After four months now not able to get in, I decided I need to try myself with better clippers. I read reviews and decided on this cordless hoping it would handle her hair. Worked like a dream. Quiet so she wasn’t spooked and easy to maneuver. I set back on charger any time I stopped to brush or work on a snaggle. Here’s how I did it. First bathed with Burts Bees natural whitening shampoo, rinsed and towel dried. Then sprayed the detangler, also Burts. Brushed it through and a mostly blow dry (low) stopping to brush and detangle areas gently placing fingers between the tangle and her body to lessen pulling, use a good comb with thick and thin tines. Then I finished drying and started clipping using the SS combs which are much sturdier than the plastic ones. Started with 3/8” on top of the #30 blade. Every so often stopping to get a tangle and then back at it. I used the #15 blade for toe pad area, the #10 for belly, private areas and the the #30 again with the 1/4” comb attached followed by the 1/8” combs to do face, top of head, neck. I trimmed ear hair a tiny bit with scissors and anything needing a touch up! Then treats!! Love that it has a storage bag! Love the cordless (cord always got caught in cabinets etc before), Love the quietness! Only negative is that the blade sizes aren’t marked when you change from one size to another. I had to do some quick math, figure to figure if #40 was on the right or left and the count over to get the size. Kind of strange, click, click, click...must be #15? Anyway it’s fine. I made myself a chart for next time. Took less time and she looks great! Buy the SS combs!

I finally had time to use the clippers. The clip went very well! The battery did last for the time that was explained. Not too much vibration as well as not too noisy. I will be purchasing more blades as I hope it will work for a long time.

Hasta el momento funciona muy bien, tiene buena potencia sin cable, nos parece mas fuerte que la mini ARCO, esperemos que la pila se mantenga en buen estado mucho tiempo.

Coupe très bien et en plus n'est pas trop bruyant .

Es una maravilla la máquina. Ligera, dura lo suficiente la pila para hacer un corte.
