Battery Life
The Wahl Bravura Lithium Powered Clippers offer an impressive run time of two hours when fully charged, making them an excellent option for dog groomers who must trim pets on the go. Their power cord doubles up as an additional charger, so grooming continues even if your battery dies out.
The Ruri Cordless Low-Noise Electric Pet Trimmer features a narrow head ideal for precise trimming in delicate areas around the eyes, ears, and nose, or for those pesky little tufts of fur between paw pads. It boasts an 80-minute rechargeable battery that provides cordless operation; additional features include a storage case with a charging cable, blade oil, and a cleaning brush.
When purchasing a hair clipper, it’s essential to consider its intended purpose. Clippers designed specifically to shave heads tend to be larger and more potent than beard trimmers because they must be capable of cutting through thicker, denser hair on larger areas.
Blades
Trimmers and clippers use blades to shape your hairstyle, with different blades depending on what kind of grooming you’re doing. Blade selection varies based on grooming type; other blades come in various sizes, shapes, and widths for added versatility during grooming experiences. For instance, a set that includes nose hair comb attachments can provide much greater versatility than one that comes only with standard-length comb attachments.
Size matters when selecting a clipper: from its blades and their combs to the handle and any additional accessories such as pouches, cleaning brushes, or blade lubricant that might come with some clippers. A more oversized handle allows you to keep a firm grip. At the same time, ergonomic designs with tapered centers, rubberized padding, and thumb divots may give greater control and steadier hold than standard designs. Some clippers even have adjustable power settings that enable more rapid trimming or cutting thicker or longer hair strands; some also come equipped with storage pouches pouches, cleaning brushes, or blade lubricant – these could all help keep strands under control and steadily hold.
