Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using this clipper for my Standard Poodle for about 6 months now - I do his feet and face at least once a month - and it is great for all our needs. I have never taken him to a groomer, and have had show dog friends and pro groomers tell me he looks great with just the clipping we do with this clipper. All clippers will get hot - it's simply a law of physics: two pieces of metal rubbing together at high speed causes heat. I have extra blades and a damp cloth nearby when the blade gets hot. If you find the clipper "drags through the coat" it may be the same thing that happened to me when I first got it - the blade wasn't snapped down into position correctly and it wasn't clipping at all. For my Poodle, this clipper is fabulous, and the price can't be beat!
