How loud is this clipper? I bought the Walh 20 piece pro kit, and it was so loud that it hurt my ear. Nothing like at the barber shop. Thanks!

I find the sound level of the clippers to be about average. About what you'd expect from a barber's clippers. Please note that after less than one year the internal battery gave out on me. I now have to use the cord to power this clippers. I will buy a lith-ion clippers next time.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

Its pretty loud. I wear ear plugs when I'm sanding. Good luck finding a quieter one.

Pretty quite...not very very quite. Not loud at all compared to other clippers.

I can't compare it to regular size clippers because I don't have any, and I'm sure they aren't all the same. But the Wahl touch up trimmer is about as loud as an electric tooth brush or a man's electric shaver.

hold the clipper like you would cutting hair- now push downward with your thump. Now is should come off. When the blade is off, look at the base and you will see a slot where the blade fixes in. Hope this is helpful.

I bought this for my toddler, but when I saw all the reviews, people say that this clipper is low noise, I don't know if it´s a problem with mine, but my clipper actually make noise, maybe a little less than others, but my boy gets really stressed with this.

I have not noticed . . . . but would kind of expect it . . . . I have another clipper for my husband's haircuts . . . . and that one gets hot. With the Wahl . . . . I usually clip for 10 minutes and then take a break . . ..for both me and the dog . . . . and then continue. I really have not noticed anything unbearably hot.

They are not sharper than the originals I found that my other ones were sold out that I thought the same thing as you but that was not the case try using the smallest guard possible to keep it from cutting into your skin until the dull out a little bit I think there's a half for a1 inch that you could use for guard I don't think you installed them incorrectly although I don't have a picture or anything but you would not be able to use the Clippers they would make a horrible sound and would definitely not work I hope this helps good luck

I have had these clipper for a while now and I still love them. They have a quite buzzing, but they do not seem to bother my dog at all, and I shave his nose, ears and around his eyes without any fuss. They are way quieter than my last pair. Probably a 3 or 4, but that is different with everyone. I find them pretty quiet. Walh has a great return or exchange policy

I would have to say they're relatively quiet. No louder than your typical clippers you hear in a barber shop.

I tried to but it was way to loud. My son is autistic and doesn't like loud noises. I bought this because the store person said it was probably the quietest they had. If your kid doesn't mind a loud buzzing noise then it should be fine. It does have a strong motor and cuts well. The attachments are easy to use. However, if you are looking for a quieter clipper for young or sound sensitive kids, look elsewhere.

I agree with Lulu this IS a very nice clipper. I'm also a professional groomer and use it everyday. Sounds like you may need some additional instruction. I also agree with Melissa in that you can check out youtube but also go to the Andis website to see what they have available. Wishing you best success.

Hi! this is my third one. I think it is a great tool. I use it everyday and there are two speeds. I am not bothered by the sound. My hair didn't do well with the ions either....and this one is great.

Not the one I bought! It was so LOUD that I couldn't get near my dog. She's used regular professional grooming and me trimming her in between appointments. The A5 2 speed I bought was loud on low speed and very loud on high. I was never able to use this clipper on my dog. I tried a few times a day to get her used to the noise by turning the clipper on. She ran and hid every time. I feel certain that this is an excellent clipper and recommend it to anyone whose dog is not bothered by noisy clippers. It is heavy because it's well built, with one of the best motors. The body of this clipper gets hot (maybe it was just the one I had). Not the one I bought!

Thats exactly what I bought it for and it works perfectly! The only thing is you have be very careful because you can easily cut your pet. If you go nice and smooth you will not have any issues. I use this to shave my dog and then I use normal clippers to do the finish work around the face and paws. This clipper is loud and a bit heavy but I havent had any trouble using it.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. I don't have experience with others and my dogs hate the clipper, so I don't use it.
