Wahl Arco Cordless Pet Clipper Kit

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

I've tried to find good clippers for my non-shedding dogs for years. All would either burn out or not be able to cut through thick mats and tangles. This is the best purchase I've made for them. Not only does it cut through matted fur, but when it's against the skin I don't risk nicking my dog like I did with scissors. Definitely worth the money for this quality.

Am a big fan of Wahl. Still have and use my first ever clipper from 40 years ago. Wasn’t sure what to expect with this but gave it a try and it is great. Excellent battery life. Cuts right through my poodle and Lhasapoos coats. Nice compact size. Guess the 40 year old is retired!

I’ve only had a chance to use these new clippers once but they were easy to use, quiet and did a great job on my Poochon’s thick, curly hair. Being cordless is a great bonus and the extra battery is a plus. They are comfortable to hold even in my small hands. Love the purple color, too!

They are okay clippers. I would recommend getting a different (more expensive pair) if you are trying to cut a standard poodle. Wouldn’t recommend them to anyone unless you are trimming only faces or small dogs.

I had these clippers for a year. They are pretty much shot. Was good for face and feet only, light weight which was nice at first. But now they won’t even cut face hair. I keep my blades clean and well oiled also.

I have a medium labradoodle and the clippers went through his hair like butter. Very easy to use. I used the #10 blade with the #4 comb and it trimmed him, but not too short.

Purchased 3 years ago and use it once a month on my 20# Yorkie-ship tzu mix. The battery packs no longer last through a grooming session so I’m looking to purchase clippers with a cord again. Was hoping they’d last longer at this price.

I originally groomed my shih poo with human clippers. It took 4-5 hours to groom a 15 pound dog that way. So, I did a bunch of research to find clippers that could handle his thick fur. I was initially worried about these clippers because of the negative reviews that they couldn’t cut think fur and were very loud. I’ve only groomed my dog once with them, but I can tell you these clippers are great for thick, fleecy fur like he has. It only took 30 minutes to groom him, and the clippers stayed very cool. They’re also super quiet, so he hated the whole experience less. If you have a shih tzu or small poodle, these clippers will work great for you.

Great clippers for Yorkie cut or mini schnauzer. I was paying up to $51.00 each groom . And that was too much . I really like that I can use this at my home.
