WahlProfessional Animal Thick Coat Pet Clipper & Dog Clipper (#9787-300) - Hair Remover - Grooming Clippers for Dog, Cat - for Thick Haired Pets - 2 Speeds - Pink

I hope this helps you. I didn't get these for free--it's an honest review of life-changing clippers. If you have a large breed cat and a lot of fluff to trim off an impatient cat? Yes, these are your clippers. Worth it.Why I chose these clippers: I have a fluffy CAT with an undercoat that is bunny-fur-soft but dense, kinky-wavy in texture, and it jams up most clippers with each pass. This fur is prone to tangled knots and matting. In appearance, he's like a Norwegian. His father was a Persian, so he inherited that challenging-textured fluff. The outer coat is easy--like a Maine Coon and slick, smooth. He's also 18 pounds. He's a lot of cat to wrangle, if he's not having it.Yes!! These clippers are a dream come true! They go through the thick fur so quickly and easily! I was astonished, truly-- at how well these worked! Not because of doubting Wahl quality, but because of the struggle it's been for 5 years to manage the cat's tangles and avoid them. And, the hard-to-manage bum area. Fluffy cat parents know about this. You're gonna be over the moon when you get these clippers. Sanitary trim in one minute, and kitty didn't try to fight me. You could probably spend slightly longer, but I don't usually get very much time to do that part of the trim before kitty gets mad. He's very happy later on, but not right then.The design of the unit makes the thick fur fall away from the clipper blades, so it never clogs. I mean, the fur really falls away as you are GLIDING the clippers through dense fur--and then when you pull the clippers away from the cat to work on another area, there is NO fur stuck to the clippers, that needs to be removed before you can continue. There is NO tugging whatsoever.I usually have to bribe kitty cat to get him to even tolerate a few minutes of getting a trim. It usually also takes 2 or more weeks to fully trim his body. Normally, we can only do small sections at a time, and he needs a break in between trims. But, he gets special treats as the haircut day bribe, with the treat in one hand while I'm using the clippers with the other hand. (The bribe is Churro or Delectables, in the tube, given only during trims.) No it's not easy, and we both get frustrated, and I occasionally would get bitten when the old clippers tugged. I don't get angry, I stop and apologize and we're done for the day. The point is to associate the trims with happy food moments and to be kind to kitty cat, right? This cat never holds still during the trims. He tries to back away or move out of range, but still eat the treat. In the past, kitty would get tangles in between trimmings, because of the length difference between trimmed and untrimmed fur. One time, he started getting matted in between trims. I swore I'd never let that happen again. But sometimes kitty won't have a trim, and you have to respect that.To be able to trim almost the entire body in literally 7-8 minutes is WOW. I've got to say, I am so grateful to Wahl for these clippers, and I'm so happy that kitty is so happy.The clippers aren't very loud. It took me 5 months to be able to have kitty stay in the room when any clippers were switched on, and another 3 months to have him accept being touched by them. That was over 4 years ago when I started this process. The inexpensive rechargeable clippers I started with were louder than the electric clippers. So, as you go up in price to more powerful motors that can go through the thick fur and not overheat, you gain kitty's trust. When it's easier for kitty, your life is easier.The color isn't pink so much as a more purpley-orchid hue. If you care. I don't--I just wanted clippers that did what we needed them to do. We're not going to a cat show. We are getting through summer months with comfort, and year-round without knots or mats.I am also going to try out longer-length trims with other blades. I learned that the higher the number, the shorter the hair. This clipper comes with a 7F blade, which is longer than the #10 that came with the SS Pro clippers I've bought before these. That's too short for fluffy cats. The comb attachments for that model were stainless steel and it's a high quality clipper, but it wasn't working well enough on kitty's thick fur. This 7F blade is amazing. I might try a different blade so the winter haircut isn't as short. Not that kitty would freeze. His undercoat is very insulating, even when it's under a half inch in length.I hope this helps another frustrated cat parent. This is one purchase that pays for itself and I have discussed this whole issue with the Vet. She approved highly of the whole scenario I've told you about. The safety is most important, and not cutting the cat's very delicate skin is critical. Giving kitty a shave is work--and it's risky. Giving kitty a lightning fast & less traumatic haircut is excellent. So, literally, this is Vet approved and kitty friendly.

I had the cordless verion of these clippers and they stopped charging. I am glad I go the corded version, they are more quiet than the cordless were. Use on horses and dogs

We have used these 3 times on our 7 pound dog and they stopped working half way through today and we have struggled with them before. They turn on but barely clip. We have cleaned and lubed them and they still fail to work. The blade is hard to remove and clean and replace but we keep trying that. I have always loved Wahl in the past but I will be looking for a new manufacturer- these are terrible. Don’t buy them!

I purchased this and have been grooming my toy poodle once a month since June 2019. I also purchased and use a Wahl Professional Animal Stainless Steel Attachment Guide Comb Set for Detachable Blade Pet, Dog, Cat, and Horse Clippers (#3390-100) and a Wahl Professional Animal #30 Fine Ultimate Competition Series Detachable Blade with 1/32-Inch Cut Length. I have used all of these together and have not had any issues with them. I will say that the clipper does get warm, however, I expected that as it is the nature of the small motor. I usually give my dog a break after grooming the main part of his body and the clippers cools down then. It's not been a problem for me, however, I am only doing my own dog and it works very well for that. It has a very low noise and my dog usually goes to sleep as I use the warm blade on his neck.

These are light weight and the cut is smooth. My only negative is the blade tends to heat up a little quickly. Overall I’m happy.

These were bought to replace another clipper that wouldn't cut my doodle's hair efficiently. There's a night and day difference with the way these cut. I wished the motor was brushless before I committed to the purchase, but now I'm glad to have them. They were a little loud when I first turned them on. Pulled off the blades and put 'em back (takes about three seconds) and they quieted right down. Dog has no problems as quiet as they are. Recommend you get extra blades so you can rotate a cool one in as needed. The blades I bought did need to be sharpened, but I've never bought blades that came out of the packaging the way they should. Just manufacturers saving money. ETA: These are labeled KM-5 (picture) so ... I got them for about half price.

Didn’t cut my Eskipoo’s hair without countless trims. I’m letting go of Whal brand.

We’ve ordered 2 sets of combs that sound like they will fit the clippers but they don’t fit and have had to return them
