Is the clipper waterproof? Can it be put under the facet to wash off the hair particles?

No, it's not waterproof and you should NOT put it under the faucet to wash off the hair particles. Use a dry cloth or brush (it comes with a brush) to clean it.

Yes. It is an awesome clipper. Super easy to clean. Hope my new one lasts 20 years like my old one did

I don't think so. I just tap the hair out of my foil/cutter assembly, then rinse it under hot water and also run hot water over it with the head back on while running it for about 10 seconds. I also soak the foil/cutter assembly in alcohol for 10 minutes once a month. The cleaning solution has alcohol in it, so it won't hurt anything. You could also use this option. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liMN23Xqcis

I would not use it on wet hair. I am pretty sure it is not made for that. Traditionally, anyone that has used the comb will tell you, you want your hair as dry as possible. When the heat hits wet or moist hair, it creates steam and can burn the scalp.

no, I use it for all my clippers including my face shaver and clippers that cut my hair on my head.

Yes. It is a sturdy, yet light weight clipper. This is my second one. I advise you to scissor the hair down if very matted. Then use clippers

Ifi is the blades, it sounds like you guys used the blades on dirty hair. If not, then I don't kn ow, but these blades do not last long if used on dirty hair. They are meant to be used on clean hair. If it is the clipper itself, I would remove the blade first to see if it comes on, IF the clipper turns on without the blade, then the blade is locked, and needs to b e unjammed bu pushing on the cutting edge while the clipper is running. If this doesnt work then you need to contact Wahl. I am a groomer and own 7 of these clippers and have never had that happen.

No this clipper is not good for thick hair at all .....you need a big high speed one, well not big but with more power.

The cord is permanently attached to the clipper and at the end of the power cord is the transformer/plug. There is no protective boot nor do I see how or why you would want to protect the power cord and not the clipper. I keep the clipper, several blades (#10, #7FC, #5FC) and a bottle of Andis clipper oil in a drawer by themselves. If I were to travel with the clipper I would probably buy a hard shell case to protect it.

I don't see why not. If you think they will sit still for it. My wife has used this clipper on my own head and with amazing results (I use it now in place of my other clipper). It is powerful enough for matted fur. Our dog is wheaten Terrier and her hair grows just like human hair. If we don't give her a hair cut regularly, her hair will grow straight to the ground! And boy does it get tangled and matted! When that happens we just shave her closer. This clipper gets pretty warm, but has not failed to work. (When JD's hair gets that unruly her haircut just takes a little longer. Which she does not mind one bit. She loves all of the attention. Hope this helps.

It looks like the wheels could be pried off, but I'm not sure it could be done without ruining the wheels. The wheels are not part of the operating mechanism so even if you broke the wheels, the clipper would still function--- hope this helps!

No, I bought one and they are not waterproof. They just hold your hair down.

if you can get the nail into it then yes. If it will not fit under the trimmer I would take to a dog groomer and get it trimmed. this clipper is wonderful, we were paying $10 a month so it has paid for itself. I recommend getting styptic powder in case you go too far in cutting your dogs nails. just something good to have around.

The answer should be know. But after cleaning i run the heads in about a 1/4" of water and dry everything off. No problems for several months and for the price it is a good shaver. I also have the Nivea model that can be used in water but this model may short out if you took it in the shower!

NO-I got this for my son. He uses water to rinse it each use. Then once a week uses the blade wash by Oster for clippers. Sprays it and lets the blade and foil air dry. Spent $8 bucks on blade wash spray at a pet store. The can has lasted over a year at this point.

I assumed it was waterproof as it didn't come with instructions. I use it on wet hair in and out of the shower on wet hair and I have not experienced any problems. I hope this helps. I see the crack you are talking about. I was unable to pull it apart.

YES! Love this clipper. I am a hairstylist and have shaved heads and used it for great finish work on cuts. My favorite clipper. My only issue is I use it so much battery does not have time to recharge enough. I need two of them. Mary Marchese
