It truly helped me know that I’m on the right path, so to speak, for picking the right clipper. Thanks for taking the time to share that. :) I’ll bet that was an interesting experience going from the one cordless to the power of the corded one. It’s great to hear that my intuition was correct on this one, at least for me, at this point in time. I’m sure it’s “nice” to have cordless but since I’m used to the cord, and have two full size doodles, I don’t want to be worrying about my battery dying in order to finish their haircuts. Just seems like we need a little bit more development in battery technology before they can compete 100%. A good grooming begins with a good bath and fluff dry.Īhhhh! Thank YOU for sharing this!! I kinda wondered if this might be the case w/ cordless. Watch videos on force (velocity) drying and fluff drying. You can watch some videos on you tube in proper drying technique. I also agree with the person that recommended getting a professional velocity dryer. They are made by a company that made sheep shearing clippers so the motor is a power house. It's the only one I've ever owned to have no issues after more than 2 years of use. It is the most powerful cordless I've ever used and I use it all day, every day and it never dies. It has a sealed motor so hair doesn't get down inside the housing. It's the best I've ever used in almost 15 years of grooming. If you have money to spend and want the Rolls Royce of Clippers go with the Heiniger cordless for dogs. Andis is the most popular among groomers I'd say. If you're looking for a moderately priced Clipper I'd go Andis Excel 5 speed. Thanks so much in advance! Looking forward to learning. Amazon reviews are pretty mixed which is why I need help & opinions from Reddit, particularly this community!! Any advice would be welcome. Also, I’m interested in a company w/ good service that will stand behind their products. I don’t need to have to recharge in the middle of a session. I’m looking for a clipper that will clip cleanly in 1-2 passes (or whatever is reasonable on that). I’m having to go over the same areas many many times to make sure that everything is clipped evenly. Right now, it’s taking me 3-4+ hours/dog and I simply can’t handle that physically (& they aren’t loving it either!). And if there is a specific clipper model you like, I’d love to know. But I’m wondering what brand you prefer and why. I’ve read as much as I could find and I think that the detachable style will work best for us (vs adjustable). It’s also vibrates a lot and the dogs don’t seem to like it much for all of these reasons. And, it’s so loud it’s impossible to follow a TV show in the background. It’s always required many, many passes to get an even cut and it gets HOT. I can’t say I’ve loved the Wahl, to be honest. It seems most Andis & Oster detachable clippers are have combs & blades that are interchangeable but I’m certainly not stuck on either of those brands, if there is something better. The latter actually does better & is quieter but doesn’t have longer combs available to fit (it’s a proprietary shape, darn it) so I’m looking for a “pro clipper” that will accept fairly “universal” combs/guides for length. I’ve been using a Wahl (Designer?) mostly but also a Remington Indestructable. I’m very ready now to invest in a really good set of clippers. I have always groomed our dogs at home (and did the same w/ the Bichon we had prior, and even the Bichon I had before that as a teenager). A 70lb Labradoodle (12.5 years) and a 40lb Border Doodle (8 months), both female. :) But reading through several of the posts, I was struck by what a kind, caring, and supportive sub this is. I didn’t see this subreddit when I searched initially and the r/dog community actually pointed me over here to get the best advice. I hope this is the best place to post this.
