Okay for a little dog at home, but not strong enough for a big job

As a professional groomer, I found the Quick Draw lacking. The portability is great, it weighs very little and even comes with a shoulder strap so you can bring it with you easily. It's a little odd that they have the option to use it without the hose as a hand-held unit, since it is heavy enough that it would hurt your wrist to use it that way for an extended period of time. The volume was surprisingly bad, nearly as loud as my full size dryers, and the hose creates a very high-pitched loud squeal. But most disappointing is the lack of power. This little guy can't generate the blasting power necessary to blow out the coat on a dense double-coated dog, such as a husky. It works okay on the small drop coat dogs, but for anything large or with thick hair, it just comes up short. You could get a shorter coated dog like a lab dry with the Quick Draw, but it would take far longer than a more powerful dryer would. And you wouldn't be able to blow out the loose coat, so you would need to spend much more time brushing the dog once it was dry.

Cute shapes, and they work pretty well for cutting out homemade dog treats, but they're not real sturdy. Probably will need to be replaced every 1-2 years, but it's a good price.

I was looking for a solution to prevent my Belgian-German shepherd cross from scaling the fence in my yard and running loose in the neighborhood. I bought this product on the basis of the great reviews, but it just wasn't enough to hold my dog. The installation and swivel action were great, but at 10 months old, my dog was able to rip it out of the ground without difficulty. That being said, he's a very high-drive, strong, and determined dog, so this tie out would be a good choice for a smaller breed and less-intense dog. I'm not new to the Malinois breed, so I should have known better.

I'm a professional dog groomer, and these fell apart in the first month. Might be OK for occasional home use.

Does what I need it to do for toy size dogs.

Not as strong as one would hope from a steamer this size.

This shredder is alright if you have quite light work for it. It ate through yard scraps quite easily and did a reasonable job of mulching it all into a nice fine size.

Where it fell apart was with some palm fronds in my yard. It would clog up like nobody's business when trying to chew through these. To be quite fair, even my lawnmower didn't play too nice when trying to chop up these palm fronds, but I expected this shredder to be a little less wimpy on this stuff than it was.

I recommend not screwing in the top guard piece of this shredder when installing the unit. If it clogs (which it does fairly frequently), instead of having to disassemble the entire top of the machine, you can simply unplug it (VERY IMPORTANT obviously) and then take the top piece off (which we've left unscrewed you remember), reach down and unclog the blades. This worked well most of the time, and with the machine unplugged I don't see why this should be at all dangerous.

Disassembling the entire top is easy enough with big thumbscrews that are made for easy operation, however, it's a time consuming task even if not complicated. Hence my above recommendation for unclogging.

The build quality on the shredder seems pretty good and nothing feels cheap.

Overall this unit is a decent little yard maintenance machine. I'm not sure I would buy it again for my own needs, but if you have a lot of autumn leaves on the ground or a lot of clippings in the spring and such, then this might just do the trick for you.

Lastly, this unit is really quite heavy and not particularly easy to carry because of the odd shape. It has wheels for flat ground which is useful, but plan ahead if you have to transport it up or down an incline.

I had high hopes for this product, but was disappointed when I received it. It seemed very flimsy. It was fairly easy to put on the dog, but neither the hardware(clasps) or the straps that go under the dogs legs appear to be very strong or sturdy. My dog weighs 150 pounds and I was not confident that this product would hold up if he tried to pull away from me. On our first walk one of the front clasps came undone, but luckily there are two so I was able to just re-attach the one that opened up. Unfortunately, yesterday my dog bit right through the under leg strap, which is not much thicker than a large work-shoe type shoelace, and the harness is now in the garbage. Had the product been sturdier, it would have been somewhat effective in stopping the dog from pulling. The price was excellent as compared with online pet stores and/or retail stores (which didn't carry the XL size anyway). I believe this product would be worth buying for a smaller dog, but not for a large, strong dog like my Great Dane, or a dog that is overly energetic and a hard puller. I guess I'll keep looking...

Good for emergency, but not for everyday use. I have a miniature Schnauzer and the diaper is not big enough to contain more than 1 1/2 dog urine. Also fiber seems weak and sometimes urine permeates the diaper.

We've liked these kennels for our two smaller dogs (mini dachshund and beagle) but this larger size (for our 65 lbs Vizsla) didn't feel as sturdy/heavy duty. He escaped several times from the sides so we started zip tying the sides and then had to with the doors as he was getting out of those. And finally he (somehow) ripped a hole in the top corner but gave up and got himself out the door again...

So beware of the larger size kennels; they really need to use larger gauged wire/rods. I don't understand why the build is the same for a tiny kennel and a extra large kennel. Off to find something heavier duty.

Does keep dog occupied, but (medium-sized) dog can also pick it up and drop it off the couch making a loud noise and possibly denting the floor... not ideal.

I am using these to keep a 4' gate closed in front of the stairs and at the entrance to the kitchen. (I've got a 10 month old standard poodle puppy that can leap, and she's accidentally turned on the gas stove a few times.) I'm not using these for curtain tie-backs, but for a rope that attaches to my gates. Unfortunately, the "U" shaped portion of this bracket is hollow, and is not holding up to the occasional movement of the rope/gate and has bent somewhat. It will likely bend more, become brittle and eventually break. They should be mine for even heavy curtains, which is what they're intended for. Relatively easy to install

This would be good for small jobs - the cable is difficult to pull out - maybe due to design? I would have bought a better quality if I had it to do over again. I used two of them to stretch a 5' horse fence. They did the job; it was just somewhat frustrating when they got bound up.

Not very sturdy unlike another I purchased but does an okay job.

Works well for dogs with small nails.  Not good for my larger dog's nails- isn't strong/sharp enough

It works for a small pet, but isn't too sturdy. I like it because its flexible and can be moved where you need it. Our first one broke after 2years so I bought another, for the price you can't beat it.

Easy to apply but doesn't hold very strongly -- especially if my dog starts running around. I applied extra and that helped somewhat but it still doesn't hold as firmly as I expected.
