Best Wahl Dog Clippers (Jan 2023 Update)

Completely dead In just 4 months. I was so excited about getting a pair of these in hot pink and they were great at first but now it's been just over four months and they're completely dead. Will not charge will not run. Definitely will not be buying these againDenise

Love the Wahl Arco cordless clippers! This was a replacement for one I had for years but dropped too many times to be usable. Quiet, efficient, adjusts to different levels for clipping, excellent service by Wahl for replacement blades?the list goes on and on! Definitely recommend these clippers!Dana

I read a lot of comments about cordless trimmers before making this purchase. We have a pro grade Andis that we bought to groom our miniature poodles after the $40 clipper died after only a few sessions. That has worked fine, but the cord is a nuisance, especially with the little dogs, and my wife said it was just too heavy for her to be able to use it very long at one time. I don't know why I waited so long to get this Wahl cordless. It is great. The only thing I don't know at this point are how long it will last. I've already used it to do my own hair, too, to keep me looking better, longer between barber visits. Once I had decided on this Wahl, I found Scheiders to be the lowest price I could find online. I am completely satisfied at this point.JJ

So happy with these clippers, they cut so easily, have a fast charge and hold the charge great! They are light weight and perfect for body, face, and feet. I purchased these after reading many different reviews and research on professional clippers to use on my Shih Tzu. She previously had long show coat length hair, and now has Asian Fusion styled cut. Very happy with the Wahl Bravura Lithium Clippers! The turquoise is very pretty and love that they are cordless!!Shih T. M.

Initially, I liked these clippers despite the less than robust power for thick bridle paths. However, they are perfect or were perfect for my Goldendoodle and horse whiskers. Unfortunately, they just stopped. I charged them and nothing…but a new charger, charged them again and NOTHING. They worked for about a year and that was it.MorganGirl

Used on cat. Started by setting clippers on floor and letting them run so cat got more used to noise. Did this several days. Then trimmed a little. Took three days to do back and sides (all I dare do) the first time. He was not so much scared of noise by then, but did not like vibration when touched. He got more used to it all as he was trimmed more and I did most of sides and back in one attempt the second time I trimmed him. Fur looked like child had taken scissors to it when I used the guide comb attachments, so finally used without those and looked smoother. I have a second cat I would not dare trim with these as he is very noise averse. Both are long-haired.Zexia

Purchased to “groom” three Havanese during pandemic closure of groomers. The clippers worked very well with grooming ability far beyond a first-timer’s skills. We were completely satisfied with the product and will continue honing our skills on three unsuspecting dogs. I’m sure we will continue using professionals on a less frequent basis to clean up our amateurs shortcomings. Recouping the clipper cost was done with the first use. We’ll see how our grooming progresses. It’s sort of fun.Tamike

I just bought this a couple days ago. My dog (toy poodle) had needed groomed for awhile now. I had 2 groom w/ out a guard at 1st to get matts out. But after that it worked soo well. It's not silent, but definitely way more quiet then a norm set of clippers. They got the job done & didn't overheat. Said for medium coats, but cut my poodle just fine! I'd highly reccomend this product!Bonita30

I have a goldendoodle with super dense hair and tried to use the trimmer to cut long hair with tiny mats throughout. It was slow going but it held up surprisingly well despite me not washing him first. After a while it started to seize up. But I think if your dog’s hair is well groomed first and you’ve already tried to cut out the snarls then it’ll function great—considering the low price. Probably slower than a more expensive product. But all the different accessories are great! It was everything I needed.Losetheshoes

This is a definite must buy! I got this for a gift from my brothers standard poodle who takes out to run all the time and play, well it just happened that one day Kole went through a bush of burs and had them stuck all through him and the only way 5o get them off was to shave him because it was so bad. I used these clippers and they are so quiet and just slid right through his fur and some matts he had due to the thickness of his fur with no problem at all. I am now buying a 2nd set for my pups that have long hair.Jessica

I have gotten 2 seperate sets of these. the first one didnt cut hair at all it just ripped the fur out. i even tried it on myself and it ripped the hair out rather than cutting it. the second pair wouldnt cut with a guard on so when the guard was removed it was cutting fine but grabbed and tore my dogs skin open. whal is a great company but they definitely missed the mark with this onewilliam

To start off, these clippers are very noisy. The on/off switch is stiff and sometimes when I turn it on, it makes a loud noise and shutts off. For some reason the different comb lengths are difficult to get on and off. They cut some of my dog's fur and sone it does not cut. They got caught in a matt and would not cut through it. I had to grab scissors and cut through the matt. They also get hot fast. I followed the manufacturers insteuctions very closely. I should return them but because I have used them I will keep them but I will be going to another store and purchase Andis which seems to be the choice of most groomers. I do not recommend.Gramma

We used these clippers on our 4 dogs for years! We did have to replace the blade often and it would sometimes get caught in our dog’s fur. The battery slowly died over the course of the first few months and we had to buy a replacement for that also. It turned out to be fairly expensive to keep up the quality of the clippers.april.s

I have been looking for animal trimmers for a couple of years but reviews have kept me from doing it. Went to the vet and they used these to shave a little off the dog to get to the skin. Decided this must be the brand to get – and as soon as they arrived I went to work on my 3 furry friends. I like the multiple combs that came with it, the metal head also adjusts 5 different levels of depth, the 2 batteries are great to have one charge while working, and the case keeps it all together. It is not silent, but it is quiet – but the dogs still got nervous (first time). It was quick and easy to get them trimmed up. I love it. totally recommend!Iron Man

I am owned by six cats; I have done "trap, neuter, release" for over 30 years and have fostered for Cats Protection charity to the tune of 60 cats/kittens… and counting. I buy Cat Dancers by the half dozen and have given away too many to count. It is, quite simply, the go-to toy in this house for coaxing out stray and semi-feral kittens and cats. The rolled cardboard at the end is light enough so that when it moves, it simulates the way a bug or bee would fly… which fascinates every cat I've met Whipped around over the head quickly, it makes a whirring noise that brings cats running to the scene like nothing else. Dragged on the floor it is nearly as irresistible. And if that weren't enough to recommend it, it's relatively inexpensive! If we had to choose one toy to recommend among the hundreds we have purchased, this one would be it. One word of advice: in our house, anyway, this is a human-supervised-only toy. The wire can form a loop… and a wire loop caught around something is never a good idea for cats or kittens. And it also doesn't hold up well after being dunked in a water bowl for hours on end. We lost more than one that way, and now we hold one end and they go nuts for the other (by the way, they like *either* end of this toy, which also move through the air in different ways. All in all? Brilliant cat toy and a hands down, paws up fave in our home!mcwrenn

We purchased this for our plush coat shepherd who needed her bloomers groomed badly. She hates being brushed and had layer and layer of thick hot undercoat. The clippers were very efficient in removing all the hair and we could tell our Lexi felt much better (and cooler) after she was "cleaned up". I must admit I was a bit intimidated as I've never used clippers on a dog, but the guard allowed me to get the desired result, and gave me confidence within a couple minutes. The various attachments allow for flexibility also. I couldn't believe how fast I was done. The clipper feels sturdy and well made. It is a nice kit and I'm pleased with the purchase. The only dumb thing I did in preparing to use it for the first time was; when applying the oil to the blade as it tells you to do (this will make you giggle… as I said, I've never used clippers before) I was following the instructions that say to "OIL for maximum efficiency…Place one or two drops of oil on blades while clipper running" well, I did that but tried to help the oil along by using the little brush provided thinking it would help spread the oil with the clipper running….yeah, you can guess… it started chewing up the little bristle brush. Oops, LOL. So don't do as I did. Leave the brush in the kit till you're done and ready to clean it, oh, and turn it off : )) Duh!! Other than that little faux pas, all was well. I'd say it was a good investment.Scott

My husband and I read all the reviews before buying this and compared it to other clippers sold on WallyWorld's site. I don't know what the issue is, but people (like the reviewer below me) need to watch YouTube videos on how to shave their pet before leaving negative or neutral comments. We have a very long-haired rescue kitty who has to be shaved twice a year due to California heat (and humidity), otherwise the shedding and hairballs are a nightmare. He has an equally thick undercoat, so we had to make sure that whatever we bought came from a good company and Wahl delivers with this. We oiled the blades (which also need to be turned on for 30 seconds or so before shaving). We also did not use one of the guides. And at 3am, most of his hair is in the trashcan. Due to squirming, I had to make several passes in some areas, but this shaver delivered each time. The clippers did not get clogged, and if you realize that shaving an animal may take *TIME*, *PATIENCE*, and possibly a helper, you'll do fine with this set. (I need my husband's help for our kitty's belly and legs.) Our kitty was not nicked by the blades with a very close shave, and the choppy look he has now is the same choppy look he gets from professional groomers because he's got anxiety issues with anything close to him that makes an electric hum. (Gardening or leather gloves can help prevent scratches on hands, long-sleeved thick shirts are good for arm/back protection if you have an animal who climbs—like a frightened kitty.) I would recommend anyone grooming an impatient or anxious animal use a table or leveled area so you don't have to bend in awkward positions. I used our kitchen sink, which is a single long sink from the 50s. No issues there. It just came today, so I can't comment about how long the motor and parts will last, but seriously, the extended warranty is $2.00, and as with all electrical devices these days, it's cheaper to buy the warranty and not need it than it is to not buy the warranty and then have something go wrong. Above all, please remember that animals have emotions and reactions. Be patient, be kind, give praise and treats, but most of all, invest time into grooming your pet. It'll go a lot easier on you and your animal.RilriiaK

I purchased these because I am unable to locate clippers for my dog. I did an extensive search and looked at many reviews from several sites. This was the only company that could send these within a week. They showed up in 5 days. I also pulled these from the package and was impressed by the sturdiness of the clippers and how they looked. They are not load and work right out of the box. I oiled them to make sure they would not have any problems as recommend. The video CD is very helpful for any dog. I have a miniature Schnauzer. He was very over grown and very shaggy. Lots of tangles and matting. These clippers cut through all that with no problem. Very smooth and quick cut and not a lot heat from the clippers to make my dog feel uncomfortable. I love these clippers and should have bought a set years ago with the ease of cutting my dog. I would recommend these for any light to medium coat dog.Matthew330

Like many Wahl clipper , this is an efficient product. BUT!, i feel this machine heats up a little more than others i used before, and it could feel like it's burning the hand a little, although the clipper still working properly with no fault. Still i must tell that i have an adult schnauzer dog and clipping his hair after many months of hair growing took a long time and finishing was uncomfortable for my hand. I ended up gripping the clipper with the tip of my fingers to avoid the high heat of the body of the grip.ojtok.tepetl

I used these as soon as the set was delivered. I used to have to tranquilize my pet before taking him to the groomers; that's why I wanted to give this item a try. As soon as I got them, I gave them a try. The clippers were light-weight and quiet. My little dog wasn't afraid and sat quietly while I clipped him, right down to his underside and toes! He thought he was being brushed out! I just saved myself over $70 a month on grooming charges…he will let me clip his fur as it grows out and I won't have to drug him up to do it. As I get more adept at clipping, no one will know that he is being clipped at home instead of at a shop. I have been hand-trimming him for several years anyway and now I can do the entire job myself. Thank you for giving me the tools to do t his.annmarie9500

I purchased this for one of my cats who has bad matted fur on her back she was fine with this till I actually tried to use on her I had to have my boyfriend hold her down and I removed one big mat so far and will be trying again tonight. My other cat didn't mind this at all she just laid there and let me shave her she had very little mats in her fur. I do recommend this you just need to be patient and take it slow especially if you have scared cats like I do. I don't know how well it works with the clippers attached I used it without a clipper and went back and forth slowly at the mat.tingargiul_2

It was hard to pick out a brand, but I finally tried this one. Inexpensive at less than $100, and it cut my fluffy dog's fur really well without feeling like I was raking it through her fur or combing it with the blade. It's not super loud, but it's not whisper quiet. My dog wasn't bothered. Happy with my purchase. I'm not a professional groomer, so maybe there's better out there, but worked great for me!N.D.

I bought these clippers at Petco curbside pickup during the coronavirus quarantine. I have a silky terrier (most people think it's a yorkie) and he needed some "tidying up". I was really happy with the heft of the clipper and all the guards that came with it. After watching the included DVD, I bathed and dried my dog and clipped him. My dog is VERY used to being groomed but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Other seemingly similar clippers I researched were over twice the price. These clippers are meant for a dog with a fine to medium coat so I think if you buy them for that type of dog and follow the directions (and oil them as recommended) that you will be very happy with your purchase. They are made in Sterling, Illinois. You can even send the blade in for free sharpening.Friend of Max the Dog

It’s not heavy duty so if you take you time do it in layers it gets the job done. Watch a video on how to groom my particular dog (PWD). Cost half what a groomer would charge. Keep a shop-vac handle and do it outdoors if weather permits. The clipper does heat up and taking breaks keeps it cutting smooth.BenP

I cut my cocker spaniel's fluffy hair with ease. I watched a couple of youtube tutorials and off I went. My husband had to help me keep her in one spot, but otherwise, it went great. She is spotty in some areas, but that's completely my fault, the clippers are amazing, lightweight, not super loud, they did not get hot the entire hour it took to clip her, they did not get caught in any of her matts, just easily slide through and snipped them away. Great price, fast shipping. 10/10 would recommend!dawnmadison

Worked very well with my Bull-Shih T. My girl has medium-thick hair and this cutter went tight thruogh it. Keep it oiled and it won't get hot. Attachments worked great. This cutter even went right through the mattes. I recommend this product.Giib

I wish I had read these reviews instead of relying on the Wahl reputation. In my opinion, these clippers should be taken off the market. I got a beautiful clip with my $20 clippers, smooth, professional looking. I decided to invest in this high-end product. The 1st time I used it on my Maltese, it looked as though I'd used an egg-beater. Returned that one, thinking it was a fluke. Same problems with the new one. Uneven, choppy, scraggly. Power button feels as tho will break any time and I won't even take a chance with the battery problems described here. The 2nd set goes back to Walmart and never Wahl again. And no, I'm not bothering calling customer service. I want my $ back and am happily using my $20 clippers.Rita

I have a 30 pound Corgi/Cocker Spaniel mix. His hair never stops growing. I decided to spend the money on these clippers rather than pay a groomer every few months. My concern was that I would have enough power to get through his coat. Using the chart from the Wahl website, I determined that these clippers should do the job. The results from my first effort were a resounding success. First was the sound level test. I dug out some old clippers that I used on my kids hair to compare against the new Wahl clippers. They were noticeably quieter which was important to me as I didn't want my dog to react badly to the sound. He didn't seem to mind at all, even when I was clipping the hair around his ears. What pleased me most of all was the power level was perfect. I had absolutely no problem powering through the thickest parts of my dog's coat. The clippers never bound up or slowed down no matter where I went. Made the job of clipping easy and fast. As to the comfort of the clippers themselves, I had no problem. Without any cord to get in the way, I was able to hold the clippers in any direction whether I was working on the back, or under the belly and chest. I used the longer comb to do the back and rear of the dog, and the shorter comb around his head and ears. When I took my dog in for his next training session, the trainer commented on how well groomed he looked. She was totally surprised that I had done the grooming myself. As long as these continue to perform this well, the money spent of these clippers will be well spent since every future haircut will be money saved by not paying a groomer.Talos

After brushing my maltipoo this does wonders! So easy to use and the sound of clippers don’t bother him at all! The clippers glide through without issues and he’s half poodle so he has thick curly fur. Wow, I wish I would have found/ tried these clippers sooner! Would have saved me tons of money on groomers…Happymaltipoo momma

Wahl pet clipper is a fantastic value. It does not overheat and the battery delivers hours of use to groom your pets. I have saved $150.00 grooming my dog and $125.00 grooming the cat. Great Value!!!!!!!Margaret

I wanted a cheaper pair of clippers to try clipping my dogs. Not sure if I could manage so did not want to put out a lot of money. These actually work pretty darn good.KAREN

I purchased the Wahl pro Series rechargeable dog clippers. I was thrilled with the results. My pomeranian gets very thick undercoat and was surprised how well it cut through the very thick fur. I enjoyed the rechargeable clippers whi h lasted nearly 3 hours of clipping!Victoria

I had the Whal elite pro prior to the senior. The elite pro came with great guides with metal clips (the 5-star guides are cheep plastic, and you only get 3) The elite pro guides fit the five star senior perfectly. The five star Senior is superior in every other way. Higher quality, more power, etc. I wish the five star senior came with premium guides. Its kind of sad that a Walmart clipper comes with better guides then Wahls flag ship professional clipper.jefco37

Clipper has the strongest motor on a cordless clipper! For that reason the battery wont last the same as the magic clip. But it will last for the whole day! Needs charging for the next day! Best clipper ever! The power of the clipper will be the same as it would be with low battery! You will not be able to know if the battery is running low like magic clip that powers changes! Best clipper ever! There is no hair stronger than thisprkilla15

I bought this product directly from amazon.ca, not Marketplace. It was sealed, clean, definitely new.It works well. The noise level is OK, similar to my older (and cheaper) clipper also made by Wahl. This one is heavier.Harmony K.

This clipper saved me so much money. I had a different clipper that would get hot from the length of time I'd be having to use it because it would barely cut the dog's hair. (I even had the blades replaced) So I decided to buy this clipper and I was amazed at how it cut the dog's undercoat so effortlessly like a hot knife on butter. I had been tempted to go to a groomer, but with this clipper, I was able to groom the dog myself easily.Eva

I was looking forward to this, because of the great reviews. Well, I have the same problems as all the other 1 star reviews. Guess some of us get a faulty one??? My pup’s fur (maltipoo) was freshly cleaned and completely dry and brushed out. I’ve used buzzers on humans before, so I had a general idea of how this should go. Plus i watched a ton of dog grooming how to videos. All this does is take off a tiny bit of fur and then get stuck. Over and over. The hair never falls off, i had to pull it off every time. We tried adjusting the settings, changing the blade covers, using it with no cover, even turning the blade adjusting screw. Even at its highest possible setting (also very loud) it just doesn’t cut. After several 15 minute attempts, we hadn’t even made a dent. She looks the same. Very disappointed.Ellie

After a failed attempt at giving my fluffy cat a buzz cut with regular clippers, I bit the bullet and bought these "pet" clippers. You wouldn't think it would make that big of a difference, but let me tell you, these cut so much better. Using a guard I didnt experience any pulling or snagging and my cat sat comfortably. The only downside was that they did seem to get hot after 10 or so minutes of usage. The noise and vibration didnt scare my cat, but I would recommend turning them on and petting/encouraging your pet before cutting, to give them a few minutes to feel comfortable. These clippers took off so much hair I barely even recognize my cat 😂 lol. I would efinitely recommend these to others as an affordable option for grooming your pet at home.marissa.b

Like so many other dog owners in lockdown we've been unable to get to the groomers with our Cockapoo, so being ever practical I took matters into my own hands and decided to groom our dog myself. I studied all the reviews of clippers and decided the cheaper budget models seemed to have some limitations whereas the Wahl were getting great reviews from professionals, so although the price is 3x the budget models I decided this would be the one to go for as I plan to continue grooming after lockdown is over. First impressions were "this is a good piece of kit" it feels and looks like a professional tool. Fitting and removing the blade is positive and easy. I also purchased the SS comb set which snap into place with precision. The motor is surprisingly quiet which was a key factor as our cockapoo hates being groomed. So everything was looking good but how about cutting her coat? I can say I was surprised at how easy it was to cut our dogs thick coat, I used a No. 4 comb at first incase I made a 'cock-apoo up' and the Wahl KM5 went through it like a hot knife through butter (but less messy) it was a bit more tricky on her knotted legs so a bit of scissor work was required there. Overall I am delighted with the KM5 and looking forward to the next cut (Peggy our cockapoo is still not100% sure and is reserving judgment). Its still a lot of cash for what it actually is and you need to use it to justify the price but comparing it to all the other pro models it sits in the right price band.ianwill22

These clippers are so perfect! I procrastinated for awhile in purchasing due to the price.. however after several very frustrating grooming sessions with my 3 dogs I finally requested to my husband for Christmas I wanted some really good clippers.. I did a lot of research and decided the Wahl KM10 2-speed Pro Clippers would be the one I wanted. I also purchased the clip-on Blade assortment so I would be able to change the length of the fur being trimmed. OMG! Total game changer! These clippers go thru my doggies hair like butter! Absolutely no regrets for this purchase! They make the whole grooming process for me and my dogs soooo much more enjoyable!Paula

First time grooming my collie/poodle cross and chose these clippers after reading the reviews. The No10 blade supplied cuts close and smooth (no tramlines). It cut very easy although you have to take care when cutting any matting. The trick is to hold the blade flat to the coat and not at an angle. I was very pleased with the result and dont think the end result was that far away from a professional dog groomers.weeandyo

This shedding blade is perfect for dogs with shorter fur. It really helps remove the loose fur and there's no brush to have to clean out afterward.erin.v

I have a very large, furry dog and this is so easy to use and gets out most of his excess fur. I purchased this as my groomer was very poorly and I needed something to keep his fur good.lynda.c

awesome product to trim my 5 lb teacup poodle's face and paws, low noise so less anxiety. Valley Vet ships fast.. had originally bought one on Amazon but dropped it 🙁 and messed it up (owner clumsiness) and was not available currently available with Amazon. So shopped around and found on Valley Vet with great price and fast shipment.Liz P

I’ve only used it a couple times on my standard poodle puppy. So far very easy to use and maneuver. I think I will need the next size up as she grows as this will be too small.Alison J

This trimmer did the trick for my Golden-doodles paws, face and ears. I’ve tried others that just didn’t trim. I like the adjustable 5 position attachment. It’s also quiet. Thank you.Cathy Pat G

I've always purchased Wahl clippers, they are so well made and reliable. This one continues the tradition, it is wonderful quality, all the attachments you need and works wonderfully!!! This is our first foray into doing our own dog grooming and this makes is wonderfully easier. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it. We especially love having a cordless one this time.llewellen53

I haven't used this yet, but look forward to soon enough. I've been looking to buy clippers for a while and I do love the accessories. A great buy and good investmentlori67k

Not as good as the same model Igor 4 years ago. Cuts great with no attachment on. But struggles bad with even the 1/8 of an inch attachment on with fur of 1/2 inch and no Matt's or tangles. Disappointed. Will changes brands after lifelong use of Wahl.David

So many attachments. Well worth the cost! Conair is a well known and well made brand. Very pleased w this item and would totally purchase again as a gift for a friend who grooms her own dogs. Highly Recommend!Shana A

This is a great entry-level clipper/grooming kit. Has everything that you need for light-duty grooming, and then some. The metal comb and small head attachment for getting in smaller places (paws, elbows, etc.) are a nice addition. These clippers have multiple speed settings that are selected on the back-side of the unit and activated when pushing the button on the front (i.e., a "boost" to use as needed). Nice feature. Overall, a solid clipper set for light grooming jobs!Tara

Perfect for quick trimming & grooming! Love that this comes with so many different attachments. I use for light grooming/trims – super convenient & easy to use. Very impressed with the quality of these trimmers!Jenn C
