It looks like it is a single speed clipper. Does it get too hot for use on dogs?

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.

Not at all, this is the first set of clippers that my dogs are not bothered by at all. I still take the dogs to the local groomer but now its once every 4-6 months, and I use the Andis clippers to keep them trimmed each month. Taking three dogs to the groomers every month at 50-60 bucks each was killing me. Now I save enough to pay for the clippers in two months and sometimes I take them for a real professional job and the nails.

I bought this for my cat and quickly returned it. My cat is just impossible to groom, so we have our Vet groom her under anesthesia now. Did not use it long enough to determine temperature. Sorry I can't help.

If you are not an experienced groomer I would not use this you could do more damage then good, like cut your pet, with this grooming tool it is very sharp!!! I would get a slicker brush or a rake for your dogs coat or even the furminator deshedding comb would be a better choice if you have no experience as a groomer.

It would be great for that. I am a dog groomer and use it on all sizes of dogs. It has variable speed so you can use it ins slower speed . I usually dial it up to about. '4'. Good luck! I love this!

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

No my schnauzer has thick hair and it did cut well, it left patches of long hair I had to go over it two or three times. And it runs hot kind of fast so I had to cut half of her then wait awhile and cut the rest of her

I Agree with Lulu, Maybe you need to turn the Clipper speed up a little on the side of the Clipper. You could also check on YouTube To make sure are holding the Clipper correctly. I use these Clippers everyday. Best of luck to you.

I spray it on the blade while clippers are running as a lubricant. It is messy stuff, so I hold the clippers on their side and allow the excess to drip onto a paper towel. Then wipe the excess off the exterior of the blade with the paper towel. A well lubricated blade runs cooler. I do not find that the product actually cools a hot blade.

I'm not sure. To be honest, I don't think this clipper is a heavy duty one. I have a small shih tzu. She has a lot of hair, but it's really silky and smooth. So I've used this clipper only once. During haircut, it worked fine at first, then it overheated. So I had to turn it off, let it cool off a little bit. Then I resumed. One month later, I left it to charge for 24 hours (according to instruction) to use it again, it didn't turn on! No signs of life! So for me, this clipper went straight to the trash can after 1 use. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Based on my experience with a mini schnauzer, I would say no. The clipper is well made, however lacks the powerto cut Any of this dog's coat except the fine hair on the top of his head. The body coat wasn't cut irrespective of the combsize. You could possibly give it a "GI" haircut if a groomer cut it down to 1/2 inch before you tried to clip it yourself.I would suggest purchasing a "heavy duty"clipper for around a $ 100. Linda

I would not catagorize this as a "light weight" clipper. It is very effective, relatively quiet and my hyper schnauzer tolerates it quite well. I do find that the clipper does heat up a bit, enough so that I need to put it down for a short while to let the blade cool. Even given that I would buy another one just like it as I like the action of it and the weight is not a problem for me.

My dog is a poodle mix and it works perfectly on her! And I used it as a way to give her a very first haircut and she was very grown out! I'm not sure if it's a 10 inch or two speed but it works very well and it was new! You won't regret buying these clippers I promise!

Yes. I think they all do. When they get hot I just put them down for a while to cool off. When you are using the Clippers you can put the little plastic length guide heads on them, and then the hot part will not touch the dog so much

My mother has this exact clipper (hence why I purchased it), hers is 30 years old, and still works like a charm. However, mine does not cut my dog's hair like hers cuts his. He is a miniature schnauzer, but his hair seems more frizzy and fine. My personal opinion would be that it would not be worth the money for a longer haired dog as there are not any guarantees that it will fair well. By all means, I may be wrong, but I wish I had saved my money.

I bought it for grooming my shih-poo mix. He has a very thick and long coat and I had no trouble.I am very pleased with this clipper.

I would not. It will dull the clipper blade pretty fast, not to mention pull on the hair.

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