These clippers worked great on our Shih Tzu. Very pleased with their performance. After two clippings they will have paid for themselves. Doing it myself was easier than I thought, too.

I have two coarse haired rescue dogs. I bought this product because it was not cheap and had a rotary motor. I had gone through two sets of cheapies in two years. THis is a really nice tool. It cut though their course coats like butter and kept them cool this summer.

For nails I recommend this: Dremel 750-02 Minimite. It is probably the best 30 bucks I have ever spent and doesn't hurt them like the clippers did.

So for the cost of two trips to the groomers, I have my girls taken care of for a long time.

I didn't give it 5 stars because I have only used it once. However, I was VERY pleased with its performance. I didn't heat up (even though I used it continually for about 45 min) and was powerful enough to clip my terrier amazing coat.

I am very happy with my clippers and dealing with Amazon for the first time was great.

I highly recommend this clipper. During the summer my husband shaves our long hair dog so that she is more comfortable. In the past the clippers would burn out after one shaving. This one is still going strong.
