Mine worked great the first time with my Bichon. I have oiled the blades. The 3rd time it stopped working and I read there is a sensor that detects hair clog in blade. I removed the hair and it will not work. The motor did not grind nor overheat. I see...

I'm not a professional, I purchased this because of the reputation of Wahl. Also, assume that this is a recent purchase on your part. My best suggestion is for you to contact the company (http://www.wahl.com/contact/). I have no doubt that they will want to help solve your problem as soon as possible. The website has phone numbers and a lot of other information. Also, I have found that on other items, Amazon is also anxious to help their customers. Hope this helps and good luck. I don't normally respond to these things, but there seemed as sincerity and urgency in your message. Feel confident that they'll make you whole and get you back to clipping.

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

Hi,I have found that sometimes blades won't cut because there is too much oil on the blade, even with brand new blades. I use clipper wash to rinse them and then use the bare minimum of oil where the blades rub together, not all of the blade needs oiling as otherwise the oil goes onto the dogs coat and then the blades seem to grip instead of cut.

try opening all parts possible and also make sure the filter is CLEAN . Also, should not be to full of hair on the botton, keeping it clean helps the motor to last longer .

I have not had a problem with my trimmer and I wonder if there is just something NOT RIGHT with the trimmer you got. You might return it with the reason and have them replace it if they will???????? I hate it when things don't work right!

Unfortunately, this happened to ours as well. Then, it simply fell apart. We returned it as we had only used it for a trim one or two times before this occured. It is a great design and a fantastic tool if it wasn't so poorly made. If they could work out the kinks we would try it again.

Mine worked for a couple of weeks on barking and any noise the Bichon made near it. He would cock his head and stop. But it doesn't work anymore. He barks again all the time. And it never worked for the Maltese...

Hasn't been for me, I have two yorkie terriers. Maybe you can use those blade cooler sprays?

I've had mine for several months and it's working fine. I do clean it out on a weekly basis by rinsing out both hoppers and the removable blade and blowing out the body of the grinder. If it only worked 10 times, it might be defective. Send it back.

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.

We had an old one from Fuller Brush that we could not get a replacement head for. Too bad. This one doesn't swivel as well as our old one. It does pick up our Shetland Sheepdog'ss hair, but it is hard to shake it off. We wonder if the treatment is the reason and when we wash it that it won't pick up as well. I'd like to hear from Fuller Brush on that last comment. Oh, and they could fix the swiveling feature.

My wife let her clipper land on the floor by accident and had the same result. We found the local Oster dealer did not even have parts and had never seen such a product (he probably doesn't get out much). We ordered a new blade from an internet vender and switched the blades here at the salon. All has been good for over a year now. We have found that some brand of blade wash, the kind that submerges the running blades to wash out clippings, make the cutting quality of the clipper last a very long time. Good Luck!

Hello,My dog has a great deal of hair and when I use this tool it seems to be removing what is usually on all my carpets. I have not noticed at all that it seems to be cutting the hair in any way. I hope this helps.

I had the same issue. I called Dyson, and apparently the OLD version manufactured prior to Aug 2012 does not have the tangle free turbine tool. The new/current DC41 Animal version does.

Sounds like a build up of gunk. I bought the cleaning brushes to clean the motor every other time I change the filter. Also try using vinegar, pour some in the bowl with the water and let it run for an hour or so. It should clear it up. But if it stopped working than you might have to buy another one. But it's very important to keep the motor clean and change the filters every 30-45 days depending on how many animals you have. I always take the water bowl apart and wash it because it gets hard water and gunk build up in it. Hope that helps.

I don't know as I threw out the box and paper work.Have you 1. cleaned and oiled the blades after using 2. Taken the blade off and cleaned it and the white shaft that moves the blade and if you have removed the blade have you reinstalled it correctly as instructed. I have fine hair and and use it every other day around my ears, sideburns and mustache and clean and oil the blade each time.Also once a week I remove the blade and clean inside. With this maintenance I have not had any problems and am very pleased with the trimmer. Best of Luck David PS The 2 screws holding the blade to the trimmer can easily strip.

While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot. It depends on how long the hair is before heating up, if grooming just one dog . We purchased the coolant for the blades but find it does not help that much. Most all groomers have numerous blades of the same size to prevent the heat problem. We have been using the blade combs and it takes longer to cut our poodle's hair therefore heating up. We have just purchased the ceramic blades since they supposedly do not heat up like the regular ones and we will not use the comb attachments. Keep in mind the clipper will heat up quicker when run on high speed. While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot.
