I run a dog grooming parlour, so feel qualified to post on this subject.
I found Wahl clippers to be nicely small, but very heavy. Design is poor - to hold comfortably, your had covers the ventilation slots. This means you either suffer hand ache or rapidly heating blades. Add to that the fact that the attachable combs (flimsy, flexible things) will fall off the unit at the slightest hint of a knot, and you have a recipe for burnt skin on your dog.
They come with a tiny tube of blade lube - covered in warnings to keep away from the skin. Also with a woefully inadequate little brush to flick hair out of the blades. This shouldnt happen in a clipper. To my mind its a fire hazard for a start.
The clipper is a nice compact size, however, its weight ruins this one plus. Vibration was truly awful, and I have found many dogs become quite distressed after a couple of minutes using these. Mine began to give off electric shocks after the first couple of uses. The blades had begun to rust by then anyway.
The result of clipping a dog with these clippers. Warm blades + irritating oil + blade snag + comb falling off. One dog with a bald patch the width of a clipper, and a serious case of clipper rash on this spot. Im afraid the clippers were consigned to the dustbin.
May however be useful to the pet owner who keeps their dog in totally pristine condition and just needs to shorten the length of body hair. They were well suited to just strimming off half a centimetre of coats such as Poodle or Bichon. But if you groom one of these yourself, no doubt you will have opted for a professional type clipper with interchangeable blades.

I clip my folks spaniels and I bought these, they now get the option of pay for a professional or I'll give them a short back and sides!!
I agree with the overheating I find you get half a dog done and youve got to stop and wait on them cooling down enough to handle.

Thanks for that great review, I clip my Irish Water Spaniels coats back once a year to keep them in good condition, I was thinking of getting these clippers but I'll search for something better after that great advice, sounds like you had a terrible time, I hope the dog with the bald patch wasn't for a client, :), jane x
