Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had a pair of Wahl clippers for over 20 years that have worked perfectly every time. My experience is what drove me to purchase this pair in preparation for cutting our Golden Doodle for the first time. I oiled the blades out of the box and everything seemed fine. The pet clippers didn't seem any more quiet than my 20 year old pair. I started with the longest guard and my pooch's rear legs and hind area. Things went pretty well. I moved on to her body and as I was finishing that section I started to run into issues with the clippers not cutting and easily getting bound. I unscrewed the blade and there was hair caught inside. I removed that and screwed it back together. It was moderately better but in just a couple of passes it wouldn't cut again. I checked it again and it again had hair caught in it but not as much. I continued to carefully push the clippers through her fur but I think it wasn't cutting well and would leave long tufts or just get caught. They were also making a weird noise and I couldn't push the clippers through the fur, if I persisted, the clippers would bind and stop moving. I cut the first 60% of my dog in 15 minutes. I cut another 25% over about 45 minutes and called it quits. Her front legs and chest I never finished and didn't want to torment her any longer. These are going back to Amazon and I'm going to order something that is more commercially oriented. If you have a small breed dog, maybe these would work but for me they are junk.
