A solid well built item that is easy to use and is nicely balanced. The battery seems to stay charged for a long time & the blades cut through tough knots without stalling. It did not worry my dogs even around the ear area so it's quiet enough for that. I have three dogs all with different types of coat and it worked on all with no problems
I bought these clippers for my two small poodle crosses and am very pleased with the results. They are very well made and the battery life more than I need to clip two dogs all over. The only reason I have rated them with 4 stars and not 5 is that the combs are a bit tricky to put on securely and the cutter clogs up with hair too easily. Having said that I would still recommend them at the price (less than 1 visit to the groomers!) and would purchase again if I needed to.
I am very pleased with these clippers. I have purchased some expensive well known clippers in the past and these out perform them easily. They are very quiet in use which doesn't upset the dogs making clipping easier.
