From the manual sheet inside the box, do instructions say these clippers can be run for only 20 minutes then they have to be left to cool down?

Hi ;we have four dogs that need to be done twice a year- We use Clippers for approx. 20 minutes -they get smoking hot -and use cool down spray in between breaks. Works well this way for us., Wendy

It says, "The intended continuous operating time is 20 minutes." It also says that it is for commercial use only...whatever that means. We have used it a few times now to shave down our goldendoodle and we have not had any problems with it overheating.

They emit a low hum. Fairly quiet as far as clippers go, especially if you spray them with the cooling lubricant every 15 mins or so.

While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot. It depends on how long the hair is before heating up, if grooming just one dog . We purchased the coolant for the blades but find it does not help that much. Most all groomers have numerous blades of the same size to prevent the heat problem. We have been using the blade combs and it takes longer to cut our poodle's hair therefore heating up. We have just purchased the ceramic blades since they supposedly do not heat up like the regular ones and we will not use the comb attachments. Keep in mind the clipper will heat up quicker when run on high speed. While this clipper is recommended by many groomers, like any other clipper the blades do get hot.

If they do, I have not seen that. I usually just wait about 10 minutes while I am lightly drying my hair and get them hot.

even on lowest setting(1) the battery lasted about 20minutes for me. I am just using it to trim.

I'm sorry but I don't have much for an answer. I had my clippers for about 3 years before I had to replace them. I think maybe just replace the batterie.

The directions say to heat the tool for at least 60 seconds before using. It has 10 heat settings with no actual temperatures listed. Settings 7-10 are for thick, coarse hair. Directions say to keep your hair in the tool for no longer than 8 seconds for medium to coarse hair. The tool does not indicate it has an auto shut off feature and it has never shut off on me even when I let it sit untouched for 20 minutes.

Depends on the use, but as long as you keep the blades cleaned and oiled they should last a very very long time (years). Most likely some other part of the clippers will give out before the blades do.

The head itself will get Hot. I think just about every Clippers will get Hot due to friction. But the parts where you hold it will be fine. I bought two andis Clippers. I prefer the first model I bought awhile back, the unit and Blades were really good and sturdy, but I gave it to my sister, then I bought this clipper thinking its better but after 2 uses, the Blades got dull fast. Dont know why. The first unit stayed Sharp for over a year.

First few time we used them took about 45 min to an hour to get the hair cut and never had them get too hot. A little warm but not HOT, clean and lube them and you should be fine.

If you can last as long as this battery can, you will have gotten a lot of trimming done! I have worked with it for over two and a half hours. Then I will go inside to cool off. When I rest, I plug it into the charger. It picks up a good continuing charge in an hour. I have run the battery completely, twice in the one year that I have used it. It never slowly looses power. When the battery charge is gone, the trimmer stops immediately. On some models, there is a little indicator light that will warn you when you are getting low on battery. Direct answer to recharging completely: probably overnight. Recharging to use again that same day: probably an hour.

The unit will run aprox 40 hrs on low. That's starting with a full 20lb cylinderI have never needed to run the unit on hi for anymore then 30 min to get the chill out and then low keeps the room warm.

I left mine on the recommended time and got good results. Not sure if leaving them on longer will make a difference.

I have a Cocker Spaniel with especially thick and woolly underfur. These clippers are the only ones I've found that don't get jammed up. That being said, the blade does heat up. I think how hot and how fast depends on the thickness of the coat you're cutting. A good feature of these clippers is that it's easy to change out blades if you get a spare. You can be cutting with one while the other is cooling off.

They are used on dry hair, and I have curls within 5 minutes, but you can leave the curlers in as long as you want if you want.

It recommends not more than 20 minutes at a time. It doesn't get too hot though so it's comfortable to use for longer periods.

You have to prepare well in advance and use the towels immediately when ready. The machine cuts itself off after 20-30 minutes and heat dissipates quickly
