WAHL Professional Animal Deluxe U-Clip Pet, Dog, & Cat Clipper & Grooming Kit - Red and Chrome

What a great pet hair clipper. I have never been this excited for a product, I had to write a review. I have a little 8 years old maltese. I gave him a monthly haircut since he was 3 months old, so I have given him 100+ haircuts so far. That's crazy when I put it that way. My first clipper was Andis cheap kit. It never worked well and just pushed the hair around. After about 2 years of use, I gave up. My second kit was Wahl 9590-210 Pro-series Complete Pet Clipper Kit - Corded or Cordless Operation. It was much better than the first set, but I never remembered to charge it over night before I use it and it does not keep the charge very long, so it was always out of battery. Consequently, I always used it as corded clipper. I thought it was as good as the clipper gets since it was much better than the first set. After about 6 years, it lost all its power and it does not cut anymore. I had to do a scissor cut last time. So I bought this Wahl 9484-300 U Clip Deluxe Pro Home Pet Grooming Kit since I really don't need the rechargeable option. I was shocked how well it cuts. I never understood when some people say it cuts like butter. It really does. It cuts so easily and effortlessly, I could not believe it. I missed out for nearly a decade thinking what I had was as good as it came. The only negative is that because this is too powerful, my dog is little more afraid when I try to trim his facial hair. I think he will get use to it, though. If you are frustrated with your dull underpowered clipper, get this one. I absolutely love it.

These clippers are AMAZING!!! I had no problem cutting my shih tzu puppy's hair. His hair was about 4 inches; long when I finally decided to cut it, and the clippers worked well. They did not get caught anywhere. My husband, who has been cutting his own hair for years, used them to cut his hair and couldn't believe how well they worked. Yes, this is me telling on my husband :-). He paid much more money for his hair clippers than I paid for these, and these work better than his expensive clippers. My only suggestion to first-time do-it-yourselfers is to be gentle with the clippers when the attachments are on. They are very hard and without knowing it, it is easy to be rough and not realize you're being too rough. I've never cut a dog's hair before, and I was about halfway finished with his back and one side when I accidentally touched my arm with the clipper attachment and realized just how rough they could be. I wasn't hurting him while I was cutting his hair at first, but I'm sure the first couple of swipes with the clippers were not a comfortable experience for him. The DVD was a great help, although they could have been more specific with each breed. They explained everything on the first dog they cut, but then only did really quick (2-3 minute videos) of each of the other breeds. However, for my shih tzu, the body was shaved, while the face, legs, and paws were where the most technical detail was needed. The DVD did cover the face--but for more detailed instructions on the paws, you need to watch some of the other cuts on some of the other breeds. Finally, I would make sure to use the apron they send. I did not--the only experience I had with clippers prior to cutting my puppy was shaving my brother's head (no attachments, on the shortest setting with only about 1/4 inch; of hair to cut, ha ha)--and I was covered in hair! **Update: I used the apron that came with the set, and it did help keep hair away -- for the most part. However, the clasp at the top does not hold the strap that goes around the neck well, and the strap often comes loose. To prevent this from happening, I just tied the end of the strap around the part of the strap that is above the clasp. This keeps the strap from slipping through the clasp.

2015 Update...I have had these clippers for almost a year...I would still recommend these clippers with some things to consider. We have used these clippers many times on our dog in the year that we have owned the clipper. It still works with ease with or without the attachments on our dog's coat, and it does a good job. However, It has however gotten much louder throughout the year...which I don't love. So I make sure to give many treats to our dog to help ease the experience. The blade also has gotten loose so be sure to tighten it up. Also make sure to oil it as well. Overall, I still recommend, but keep in mind it can get louder as time goes on. Powerful, Durable, Reasonably priced...so far very satisfied! I would say that I am very hands on with my dogs...bathing, clipping fur, nails, etc., however I am not a professional nor have I EVER groomed any of my dogs with a clipper. This was my first time buying and using a clipper and I am very impressed! The biggest concern I had in ordering this clipper was the sound...so as not to scare my dog....I read the reviews and people stated it was quiet but I just couldn't imagine what the sound would be like. The comfort of my dog is top priority. Most dog's I know, including mine, don't love being groomed and they don't love loud scary noises. So I must say I am pleasantly surprised at the low hum on this clipper. Quite honestly the loudest noise was turning the unit on, for some reason it is a very loud click, which my dog did take notice to. Not sure if that noise will subside with using the unit...maybe it is just super tight from the factory...If they could fix/change that in any way though, that would be great. That being said, I also garnered the assistance of my husband as well for this first endeavor clipping for extra hands on for movement by my dog for safety, but I am sure I can do it by myself down the road. I also did watch the video first for help/instruction...decent video...slightly dated, however. I should also mention when it arrived I was concerned as I opened the box the cover said for fine/thin/medium hair only and since I didn't see that, or I missed that, on the Amazon website...I thought perhaps I ordered the wrong type clipper for our dog's coat...He is a mixed breed and his coat varies...some thin, some medium and also some coarse fur. But this clipper with the various attachments worked like a charm. We showed him the clipper first...let him smell it, we rubbed it against his body while it was off a few times, praised him, gave him a treat, and then we went to work with it on. Yes we also employed food/treats as our dog is food motivated, so with the help of some steak (yep we pulled out the ultimate tastiest treat) we were able to groom him with relative ease. Again, our goal is/was to keep our dog as comfortable as possible also while getting him used to this so we will be able to eventually do it without food/etc. because our dog will hopefully be fully accepting of it. It did get slightly warm/hot while grooming after 15 minutes or so, so just be aware of that. I ordered an extra bottle of oil to go with this from WAHL as well to keep this clipper in good condition as the oil you get with the kit is very small. I love the various attachments included and I did use them all. They are very easy to attach. The box to keep them in is ok...better than no box but would be better if it had compartments. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase mostly because my dog's comfort was top priority and I was able to get that with this clipper. Lastly it will save me money in the long run as generally, in our area, it costs $65 or more for the dog to get clipped so I am very pleased that this is a good option for us. I have to say that I would highly recommend this clipper! Great purchase!

The one I recieved was so noisy the dog would never allow me near her, and it vibrated in my hand

Funciona de maravilla y la calidad del material es muy buena. Me funcionó a la perfección para cortar el pelo de mi perro Viejo Pastor Inglés (a pesar de que está hecha para razas medianas). En dos cortes de pelo te ahorras y recuperas el costo de la máquina. Llevo tres cortes de pelo a mi mascota y aún no pierde el filo. Se calienta después de media hora de uso continuo como todas las máquinas pero simplemente basta con dejarla enfriar durante 10 minutos.

not happy with the product, im my excitement to buy this product after reading all the good reviews received the product after nearly 25 days. Only to realize that this product does not work in india as in india we have 220v and 50hz frequency but this is a country specific product which requires 115v and 60hz frequency, it does start up but due to the change in frequency makes a tremendous noise and vibrates to fast in the hand, working on different voltage and frequency will eventually damage the product.

I received my order now this machine is really bad. It has a very loud noise and it makes me buy for voltage converter to use this machine it’s really bad please if you plan to buy this item I really say don’t buy on this

One of the comb attachments was missing and the clipper was way TOO loud I wouldn't even go near it myself, let alone use it on my pup. Poor, non-existent customer service too that will not own up to their errors, or issue a refund. When I emailed the seller, they asked me to send it back to them in the US for a refund, which I did back in July. It has now been two months and I never got any refund or response from them. I urge anyone who's looking at this product to look elsewhere!!!!
