I plan to do the sanitary trim on my skittish young Persian kitten. Is the pink model really quiet, as stated in some reviews?

This model is much more quiet than any other I've used....I've been very happy with it

i thought it was fine, but im not trimming a kitten. my poodles are experienced with clippers so were no problem. my horse doesn't like them around her ears but she wouldnt like them anyway! I really like the clippers, after 2 dogs they did get pretty hot but the dogs didn't seem to care.

It is the quietest I found on the market for my use. I shave my cat into a lion cut every four weeks now where I live. I can even do his paws now that he is accustom to them which is really nice with the litter mess.

I'm looking at a handful right now, and I'd guess it's shaved. It's not particularly rough, and the shavings are fine (not coarse). I put it on top of Yesterday's News, to soften the litter.

i have 2 black cats and the fur is beige, it does not show except in the corners and mine love to be on it, my boy rubs all over and sleeps upside down on the top two platforms. easy to clean, they don't seem to have problems with it. my girl likes to hide in the boxes. mine are both declawed so they like to pretent they are "sharpening" their claws on the shelves. i really like it and so do they, i hope this answers your question.

I'm not an expert here, but the "clips" are wider than for humans. It's not as "quiet" as they said and that was very upsetting for me. I bought it especially for our cats because comments said it was quiet, but they were upset with the noise. It did get stuck once on our Tortie's fur. I wouldn't advice it at all to use on a human. Maybe someone with more experience might be able to answer better than I did.

I'd get the larger one. You can use the edges, or half of the 'brush'. Kittens grow so fast, don't bother with the smaller one.

We use it on our long haired cat to remove matted fur. Worked just fine and cat didn't seem to mind it as it is pretty quiet. I would recommend you try it.

No it's VERY quiet. Not extremely powerful but will do nicely on small dogs. (4 Dobermans and 1 English Mastiff here!)

Marilisa we only have a long haired cat and this tool works great on her. So that being said I really can't comment on the short hair situation. Sorry

I have a mixed breed cat, who has the thickest, finest hair that mats horribly, (she's not the kind of cat to get brushed either.... and shave her every year. this beast, (the clipper) takes it off like butter. it's relatively quiet compared to others i've used. I would say YES

The flap makes a little noise, it is a clicking sound of the magnets. Works well though. I know that the brand name has a website with the specs so you can check the size of the actual opening. It is a great pet door our cat uses it and she is about 11 lbs.

Not quite a mouse, but pretty quiet. I have an older cat that can be violent when it comes to grooming and he actually got used to it pretty quickly even rubbing his face on it (I do 5-10 minute sessions). I ordered a $60 one at the same time as this one and this one is a good amount quieter than it and my cat still prefers it over the spendier one.

I bought this for my cat and quickly returned it. My cat is just impossible to groom, so we have our Vet groom her under anesthesia now. Did not use it long enough to determine temperature. Sorry I can't help.

It is quiet when the motion toy is caught. This is much better than the Cat's Meow toy. We had one of those and it broke in less than one day. The cats love the SmartyKat. They play with it every day. We've had it well over a month and it's still working fine.

I've used this to shave numerous cats at the local animal shelter (mainly due to excessive mats that could not be combed out), and yes, it will work. However, it's true that it is noisy and some cats don't like it, but from my experience, the loud 'click' when it's turned on is the scariest part, so I usually turn it on away from the cat, let them calm down a little and get used to the noise, and then proceed.

I find it very quiet, and the noise it does make is subtle and not grating. I have other brands that are much louder and didn't cost that much less; I recommend this one. Note: it's tall - elevated my laptop noticeably, which works well for me in terms of more comfortable using the keyboard (it's the thinnest & flattest laptop I've ever owned), but something to keep in mind.

Noise level isn't extremely loud, but there are much quieter models. You are going to find that, with this model, buying a less expensive clipper is NOT worth it. The motor on mine burned out after only roughly five hours of use. It takes one hour to groom my shih-tzu, and on the fifth use, the motor gave up. Trust me, spend the extra money to buy a two-speed, they will far outlast the Andis 60105 Versa model.

It is pretty quite. It makes as much noise as a men's shaver!!! I have 7 cats. 3 of them are curious about Roomba and follow it everywhere, others just ignore it. I used to vacuum with Oreck - they were petrified and were hiding for hours! I am so happy I have Roomba! Now I can clean my house more frequently without traumatizing my pets with noise.
