Wahl Power Pro Cordless Dog Clippers, Lithium Ion, Rechargeable

Wahl Power Pro dog clippers run for 2 hours on a full charge and recharge in 3 hours, so a grooming session can be planned around a single battery cycle. They can also be used while plugged in, and a 15-minute quick charge gives enough runtime for a quick trim. The clipper comes with 4 guide combs covering cutting lengths from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch.

Who these clippers suit and what to check first

The clipper is built for pet coats and the manufacturer states it should not be used on humans or infants. Grooming works best on a clean, dry coat: the directions say to clean and dry the pet before use and to avoid wet or damp fur. The Max Power high-torque motor is described as cutting through all types of pet coats.

Battery care is part of ownership. The manufacturer asks that the unit be charged in full at least every 6 months, even when it sits unused. The charging indicator shows the state of the battery: solid green means fully charged, solid red means charging, and flashing red means low power.

What comes in the box with the clipper

• One Power Pro clipper in blue, model 3024675
• Four guide combs for cutting lengths between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch
• Stainless steel shears and a detangling comb
• Trimmer oil and a cleaning brush
• A hard handle case for storage

How the blades, motor and handle work

The cutting head is made of self-sharpening high-carbon precision blades. An adjustable taper lever shifts the blade to in-between cutting lengths, which sits alongside the four guide combs.

The Max Power high-torque motor is specified for all types of pet coats. Power comes from a lithium-ion battery that can run cordless or with the cord attached. The ergonomic handle is shaped for maneuverability in hard-to-reach areas such as the ears, which the specs list among the recommended uses.

How is the charge level shown?

How should the clippers be used?
