Don't hesitate to purchase this item, we have a cavapoochon which we didn't realise needs clipping every 8 weeks at & £40 pound a time at the groomers. I can use the clippers at the longest setting to do the whole dog (except for the face) and its really easy and quiet and the dog loves it. Be aware to brush the dog before cutting to make it easier on you. The only negative was that the scissors where a little blunt but still cut ok.
