has anyone used this clipper on their dogs underbellies or as with me to get a close cut on my cocker spaniels backs? if so how effective was it?

I bought pair of these Clipper for my beard and hair and we use on our three Dogs to trim their noses and face and they do better then Dog Clippers.

Even though this is not the main reason I bought this clipper -I did use it in this way when I first got it and it works really well. And based on reviews of the balding clipper -I think there is less likely hood of cutting yourself. But since I haven't used the balding clipper I am not sure if it will give a closer trim.

I would say yes. we have 4 miniature Schnauzers and use this clipper and it works great. All clippers will get hot which irritates the animal so take breaks and switch to trimming with other things such as a mini clipper or scissors to allow the larger clipper to cool off or try using a wash cloth with ice to cool the blades. As with anything that uses a shearing action to cut the faster it goes the more heat from friction is produced so keep that in mind.

You are very welcome! In opinion. .it is well worth it.On my longer haired dogs my trimmer takes a beating.it has gotten put knots & tangles.In fact, my pld one would have been stillcworking if it were not that my older dog Charlottle gets so messy, and had a really bad tangle that took awhile and it finally gave our after a year and a half.Like I said, I am rough on the trimmer.It should last aclot longer.Tge second one I have is over a year and still in great condition.It is lightweight& fits easy in your hand.If the blade gets too warm...stop ut for a few mins.and wipediwn w/a cotton ball (not soaked) of alcohol. I hope they never stop making this trimmer! :) You are very welcome!

Hi ;we have four dogs that need to be done twice a year- We use Clippers for approx. 20 minutes -they get smoking hot -and use cool down spray in between breaks. Works well this way for us., Wendy

probably...got this one a while ago, we have a cocker, and it works ok on him, but not great. Build quality is ok, but not great, and you cant (as far as I know) get different blades for this trimmer. we ended up getting this one and love it...tons of different blades, and guards available Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper

We trimmed our Austrial Shepard with them and the worked well. He has very thick fine and human clippers would not even start to work but these did. Use caution as the cut quickly thru even thick hair and hold wrinkles down flat or stretched tight to avoid cutting your dogs skin. Takes some practice to get a even trim, so start long.

I don't know - we are using it primarily on a wire hair terrier for stripping dead hairs. But, when we do that the other two (Australian Shepherd's) want in on the action and they like it, seems to thin out undercoat.I agree with makoola - go to Mar's website and check it out.

yes I use it on my yorkie, I like it better then my cordleess clippers. It is very good clipper for the money.

They do (as per the picture, I'm pretty sure I have the same clipper, but might be an older model as I've had them a bit over a year), but they're very tight. I almost returned them because I couldn't get them on. Took them to my local groomer and she got it on. Basically, put it on opposite from how the directions say (ie. starting in back versus front, or vice versa). I use them on my goats. It has a hard time with the undercoat, but it works. I dont think either of those dog breeds are typically double-coated... so it should work fine. It works great on coarse goat hair... just has trouble with the downy fluff - but seems all clippers struggle with that.

Have only used on two toy poodles. Has performed very well, but as am owner of an Aussie as well, would think I would need bigger heavy duty clippers for her.

I use them on my human clients, and they have been good thinning shears,especially for the price! Thats very inexpensive for decent shears,i dont know about thinning dogs hair, is it for show or the acually thin the hair,you may be better with clippers.

I used it on my rough coat Anatolian Shepherd. It is fairly effective on a dirty matted coat. My dog isn't patient about such treatment but the clippers did their job. They were quiet and did not get hot. They did not stay strong over 30 minutes, probably because it was a tough coat to work on (rather like sheep wool). I like the versitility of the cordless but having the cord adapter would be a good purchase as well. I also use it on my goats.

Both my yorkies have really fine hair, and it works very well. I don't have experience with other clippers, but I've noticed you have to cut the same area a few times and in different directions to get it really straight, specially when using those spacers thingies :)

Hi Peggy this is a fantastic clipper for any dog... if you are new to grooming Suggest you do a little research on the type of blades you will need to achieve the desired look for your dog. There is loads of info out there when you search "how to groom a ----. Suggest going with ceramic blades rather than steel as they stay cooler longer.. I should clarify that I am by no means a pro and only take care of my lasso apso and A cocker spaniel trimming both with a 10, 7 and 3 blades to achieve a puppy cut.. Lower the number longer the cut... Higher the number the closer the cut... A 15 will cut down to skin. You can also use a 10 blade with a plastic rake attachment to get a longer cut but I have not. Hope that helped

works great for my scottie. She's about 22 lbs and is very good about letting me clip her. If your dog is good about grooming I would say this will work fine, if not, I'd probably get something a little heavier. I love mine. Mattie just wants to lay down and let me go so it helps to keep her on her feet which makes it easier.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. I don't have experience with others and my dogs hate the clipper, so I don't use it.
