I want to buy this to cut my cairn terriers hair. Will this clipper be powerful enough?

schnauzers are cut easily the ceramic blades are so much better than the old type cutters you will not have problems with a cairn

I haven't used it on kids but with the attachments it should be able to be used just fine. It may be a little light for extended use. For cutting my hair I use something like Wahl 79524-2501 Chrome Pro 24-Piece Haircut Kit. The clippers are heavier duty, and also just heavier, and seems to go forever.

not sure, but the concern would be operational performance and am not sure how loudness is a part of that. I just used my clipper yesterday and it kicks ass, no constant repeat passes over same area, can basically cut my own hair,and the cost was reasonable after wasting my money on conair clippers that only lasted a couple years each.

I use my Oster clipper to clip miniature horses it is better than the a5 much more powerful but I don't know how it would be with dogs.

I would not. It will dull the clipper blade pretty fast, not to mention pull on the hair.

I don't have sheep, but I think that it would be great for working on them. I use mine for Newfoundlands that are long hair and about 200 pounds. The clipper has made grooming totally easy. Good luck, I don't that you will go wrong with this choice pas

Nice thought but actually Shirley I dont think this unit will be powerful enough for thick animal hair. Hope this helps

I don't know. It shaves quite close to the skin, so I think there would be the potential of cutting the skin. Also, I don't know if it would handle hair of the thickness/texture of an animal's. Better to get one designed for animals, I would think.

I bought it for grooming my shih-poo mix. He has a very thick and long coat and I had no trouble.I am very pleased with this clipper.

I'm not sure. To be honest, I don't think this clipper is a heavy duty one. I have a small shih tzu. She has a lot of hair, but it's really silky and smooth. So I've used this clipper only once. During haircut, it worked fine at first, then it overheated. So I had to turn it off, let it cool off a little bit. Then I resumed. One month later, I left it to charge for 24 hours (according to instruction) to use it again, it didn't turn on! No signs of life! So for me, this clipper went straight to the trash can after 1 use. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

It will cut the hair and the blades can even be replaced but it also gets rids of tons of the dead hair. It's one of my favorite tools for using on my Havanese's coat. Their coats are high maintenance. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is a very good trimmer. It is very powerful. I use the the clip included with the package.

I would NOT advise it. I have a Teddybear Shichon and it will not cut through his hair. It is going to take a much more powerful and more expensive clipper. I wish I had NOT purchased this one. It is difficult to master I would imagine with a very good one---but this one is impossible. I am rethinking this because of my try. There are many other things needed like controle loop to keep them in position and good place for them to safely stand. Plus, it is time consuming for unskilled folks. I took about 4 hours and still was not happy with the results. Most had to be done with scissors. I would not recommend these for dog with thick hair.

My friend has a poodle and it did an excellent job on his dog. But be ware this clipper cuts very very short if you don't want it cut so short maybe buy another clipper as well.

I don't see why not. If you think they will sit still for it. My wife has used this clipper on my own head and with amazing results (I use it now in place of my other clipper). It is powerful enough for matted fur. Our dog is wheaten Terrier and her hair grows just like human hair. If we don't give her a hair cut regularly, her hair will grow straight to the ground! And boy does it get tangled and matted! When that happens we just shave her closer. This clipper gets pretty warm, but has not failed to work. (When JD's hair gets that unruly her haircut just takes a little longer. Which she does not mind one bit. She loves all of the attention. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is an awesome clipper. Super easy to clean. Hope my new one lasts 20 years like my old one did

I would not recommend this trimmer/cutter. It is not powerful enough to be effective.
