Clippers were binding, unit was heating up. They just plain didn't work.
What i ended up doing was going to the pet store and don't even bother with the kits they sell in
the box. They are all junk for long haired dogs, despite the happy picture of the poodle and owner on the cover.
Go to the locked glass case. Look inside and that is what you want. If it is a good pet store.

A good dog shear costs about a hundred bucks and then you have to buy the blade. I think they are about thirty.
They come in different lengths, there are no adjustments. Just blade attachments.

They are shears. Not clippers. They still might be called clippers but they don't clip, they cut.
They work great.
When you see on tv how they shave the sheep or cut the marines hair and it is one pass and it's done.
That is done with this type of unit.

What you can do is talk to one of the groomers in the back and ask what they use. Guaranteed they are not using one of those box kits.
My friends sister grooms dogs and she turned me on to this.

You won't be sorry.
