Wahl Arco Cordless Pet Clipper Kit

These clippers were absolutely fantastic when I got them. However, they were so good that I didn't even notice I was cutting through dense matts . . . which in turn dulled the blades after about 3 full body shaves on my tight, curly aussiedoodle. The good news is, I'm pretty sure I can send these blades in to Wahl to be sharpened. Also, these clippers use an interchangeable blade system so I'm going to purchase the diamond blade set and keep the freshly sharpened standard blades as back up. All in all, not a bad set of clippers for the price range. Just be sure to shave a freshly washed, dried, and completely dematted dog and keep up regular maintenance on your blades no matter how sharp they These clippers were absolutely fantastic when I got them.

The device cuts adequately but the batteries stop holding a charge quickly. I only used mine a handful of times per year and the batteries never lasted that long from the beginning. I thought this was professional quality but I’m not convinced. I also thought the plastic pieces to put on the blade got caught a lot . The device seems to work best without the plastic pieces on the blade but you will have to be really careful. It’s easy to overclip without them. Overall, my biggest gripe Is the short lived batteries. For the price, I think there are better devices. Also I might consider corded next time just to avoid the battery problem issue even though cordless is easier to work with.

I like the way it cuts my dogs hair. However, there was not any directions or pictures detailing how to best use all the different sized attachments for cutting or clipping. I was very disappointed as it said it came with instructions. The book was huge and full of very basic information for every language under the sun. But, it would of been nice to see some different cuts, such as the "Puppy Cut" and tips and illustrations on how to do it. I had to wing it. For the price I was disappointed with lack of how to instructions!!!

I've had a few clippers over the years and this is definitely the best. The blade cuts my poodle's hair effortlessly which makes the job quicker. Cordless and weight-wise, this clipper can't be beat in my mind.

So, I will preface by saying that I’ve only used these clippers for one full groom so far, but they were awesome! Perfect size for grooming terriers. Comfortable in the hand, and not too loud at all. The charge time is quick and it comes with two batteries! Cute colors. The blade cut very well and I had no clogging or issues with it cutting at all. I’m very happy with this purchase so far! Recommend!

This is the 4th clipper I have purchased to groom my 2 standard poodles. It is ultra quiet, grooms with ease. I am delighted after 3 duds. Wahl to the rescue.

Purchased in 2018 (it's now 2021) and this is one of the best purchases I ever made. One of the batteries finally died..3 years later. I've used these on my long haired cat to get mats off of his chest, butt and belly. I use it on my older short haired cat to shave the knots off her back. I also use these on my golden retrievers- no more taking them to the groomer- I just clip them myself. I did purchase an extra blade at the time and both are still functional, although the one that came with the clippers does seem duller than the extra I bought. I was nervous and had no idea how to use these when I first got them but watched a few videos and now I am almost a pro.

Have been using these for almost one year. Both batteries won’t charge anymore. Read other reviews and seems they don’t last that long and they are $30 a pop. Will buy a corded shaver now and try that. They also would get hot and clogged with long hair often. They were okay but the batteries don’t last long and you will have to keep buying them .

It worked 2 out of four uses; nicked my Shih Tzu badly! I maintened it 100% properly, I’m a hair stylist for 30 years and have Wahl products for my human clients! I don’t know if I received a defective unit, and I am grateful to Chewy for refunding my $$. There are better clippers out there for this price. In the photos you can see how it wouldn’t even trim a straight edge!

I am not a pro groomer so I can't speak to this item's use day in and day out but as a home groomer for a cocker spaniel and a yorkie, this quiet and efficient shaver/trimmer gets a+++ from both dogs. The fact that it adapts to shave or trim quite easily using the same blade is great. The head is large enough to make clipping quick but still get into tight spots. The blade is sharp so that there is no pulling and so that it can be used to clip through mats (gently please) without giving a razor burn or pinch. I see that it recommends to stop occasionally to allow the head to cool but I have never experienced it to heat up (i guess we take enough repositioning and rest breaks to keep it from I am not a pro groomer so I can't speak to this item's use day in and day out but as a home groomer for a cocker spaniel and a yorkie, this quiet and efficient shaver/trimmer gets a+++ from both dogs.

Additional "5 in 1" blades are readily available and reasonably priced. The blades really don't wear out quickly if you clean and oil the shaver as directed after each use. Cleaning is a breeze (unlike with fixed blade shavers) and so it only takes a minute, literally, to completely clean both the shaver and blade assembly and oil the bade assembly. The blade easily and quickly slips/clicks on and off the shaver. The shaver gets about 90 minutes of life out of the battery during normal use and the batteries recharge in less time than stated in directions so it's nearly impossible to run out of battery between the two that come with the instrument......as they start to age, of course, this may change. The shaver is so quiet that grooming is not the trauma it used to be with cheaper shavers. I always had a fight trimming around the face and between pads and the efficiency and stealth of this has all but eliminated the issue. It is easy to hold and the round body facilitates holding it to achieve any angle of attack. It is light enough not to be awkward but has weight distributed well to handle comfortably. In other words, its a great fit for home groomers and the efficiency and noiseless operation reduce the pet's stress... always a good thing! … more
