Mollyrulz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just wanting to know from experienced people here whether the WAHL Cordless Clipper is any good... I currently use the Wahl KM2 clippers and was wondering if the "cordless" ones are good for in-between and for my Moodle who fidgets a lot! Just want to know whether to stay away from Cordless as it may not lasts (eg 30-45 mins clip)? THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florise Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 For in between what? why not just use the ones you have? If your dog fidgets having cordless clippers will not change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame ryder Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I had the Wahl Cordless. I used them once, only on my dogs face. That was it kaput! I took em back to the store I bought them from and got a full refund. So just make sure you keep the docket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I just brought a Wahl cordless/ battery opperated trimmer today actually to trim my guys feet as we have a big tick / bur/ bindi problem in our area. I brought a Shear Magic trimmer of simmilar type which lasted only a very short time then stopped working. So hopefully I have better luck with this one. I will keep my docket after teela's helpful heads up advice :) Plan B is to spend more than 3 times the $$ if need be. I have a Wahl cord clipperkit already thats been used once but is too bulky / heavy for me to use due to my hand injury impairment issues.

Mollyrulz Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 For in between what? why not just use the ones you have? If your dog fidgets having cordless clippers will not change that. Shd have said I have 2 dogs - one a Moodle that fidgets and another a medium sized Lagotto and he does not fidget. I want to use for him as he gets very hot in summer. I trim every 8 weeks as I have Fibromyalgia and OsteoArthiritis which makes it difficult sometimes as there is a lot of pain in my joints. IF I can make the "time" required to trim his hair shorter (I am NOT a Groomer)ie reduced from 1 1/2 hrs to 45 mins, it will help manage my pain. That's all ....not entirely about the "fidgeting dog" but it might help as I don't have to fiddle with cords ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at a Wahl Cordless from Clipper World - just below $200 mark... not the cheaper ones but the ones that comes with re-chargeable battery so hopefully can last a bit longer.

Rascalmyshadow Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) My advice stay away from them. The vet clinic I worked at replaced all their corded pairs with cordless, they were ok to start with but it didn't take long before they would lose power just clipping a few knots off a cat. Ended up needing to juggle two sets if clippers just to do a small dog. They were all rechargeable with a docking station.

bedazzledx2 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Agree with everyone... The KM2 is great but the cordless was a waste of money. I haven't bothered to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not sounding very sucessful then the cordless type. That is unfortunate. I was just thinking it would be easier. No cord getting in the way. I will use these cheap ones up then try & find a smaller/ lighter cord version I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I use Heiniger cordless clippers daily for professional grooming, expensive but they last and battery time is excellent, Andis Super AGR cordless are also excellent. If you are doing full body clips a lot of the cheaper cordless will not handle the pace and the coats if the coat is not prepped properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarian Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 We've recently put a Heiniger Saphir (spelling agh) into our salon and love it. It lasts well and we have a back up battery, which you probably wouldn't need. We also have Wahl KM2's as our original clippers, now great as a backup, but the cordless are fantastic. Not the cheapest though - but if that isn't an issue, have a look at Clipper World or Pupkus. Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denali Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The wahl bravura is an excellent cordless clipper :) I have one and it lasts, is quiet and can be used as a corded clipper if necessary. The other cordless trimmer type ones are not fantastic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
