Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my clipper feed through the hair?
Chances are that the clipper is functioning properly, however the problem usually is within the blade set. Most often, the blade sets may be dull or have a buildup of dirt and hair. Sometimes all it takes is one hair trapped between the top and bottom blades to affect the cutting performance of the blades. Remove the blade from the clipper and use the cleaning brush provided to remove any accumulated dirt and hair. Oil generously with the Wahl blade oil and reassemble. If the blade is dull or worn, you may elect to have it resharpened at the factory, credible sharpening service, or purchase a new blade at a Wahl dealer.

Can my blades be sharpened?
Most Wahl blades are designed for maximum life and can be resharpened by Wahl Clipper or a credible independent sharpening service. Check with a Wahl dealer or call 800-PRO-WAHL for information regarding your clipper and blades.

Do I need to oil my blades?
It is strongly recommended that you keep your blades well lubricated at all times, even during storage between usage. Although Wahl blades are protected from corrosion, they will eventually rust if not taken care of properly. It is suggested that you apply a liberal amount of oil occasionally during use and after the job is finished. Take the time to properly clean the dirt and hair from your blade and apply oil to the entire blade to prevent corrosion.

What kind of oil should I use?
Every Wahl Clipper is packaged with a tube or bottle of Wahl blade oil. It is recommended that you use only Wahl oil on your blades. Other aerosol type lubricants can evaporate leaving the metal susceptible to corrosion.

Do I need to buy blade coolant?
The majority of our clippers do not require blade coolant sprays, however some of the high performance, high speed professional units may require the use of coolants for the comfort of the animal.

Customers like the quality of the hair trimmer. They say it's a decent product to have at home for dog grooming, it cuts well, is sturdy but lightweight, and has two batteries. The clipper itself runs well, but it does have a considerable buzzing noise. However, the blades are sharp and do a great job, and it gives a really close shave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog Groomer recommended
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023
I have a 16 year old long hair female cat who’s not active, so she’s on the heavy side, more like15lbs. It’s very hard for her to groom herself and she doesn’t like to be groomed. She was so badly knocked that I called a friend who’s a dog groomer. She’s allergic to cats, that’s why she only grooms dogs. I had explained the situation and she recommended Wahl Professional Animal Arco (I will copy her text below).

I know it’s probably more than u want to spend but it’s high quality, cordless, and light. It’s got a long run time and doesn’t get hot as quick as other clippers. The blade is a 5-in-1 which handles very close shaving and should get under rather than stuck in the matts . It’s the only one I would pick for the job. Or you take kitty to the vet or a good cat grooming place. Good luck ♥️

It would cost me almost 300 for my cat to get groomed elsewhere because they would have to sedate her. I decided to take my friends advice and go with the clippers. I’ve tried other brands but not as good as this one. It’s worth it! No struggles, except with kitty. There were two of us holding her down, man can she put up a fight! Good grief! 🤦‍♀️
It was smooth and quicker to remove the hair and I didn’t use any guards, nope not this time. I just wanted everything off. Get this! When I was done, the blade was warm to the touch, not hot. I didn’t have to use a coolant.
Hope this helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not powerful enough for my fluffy cat
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022
I used to use this trimmer for touch ups on horses, for which it was excellent - quiet, easy to handle, portable.

However, I recently purchased it to shave my Maine Coon cat. I had been using the Hansprou clippers, which I also bought on Amazon. They worked well, but after several years, started to overheat rapidly, which my cat objected to - fair enough.

I decided to splurge on these more expensive Wahl clippers and, although my cat prefers their quietness and the fact that they stay cool, they’re not powerful enough to cut through her dense, silky coat. She has no matts, but I found the clippers would perpetually snag on small tangles in her fur, rather than cutting though them. In the image attached, you can see the different between her sides and back, for which I used the Hansprou clippers, and her stomach, for which I attempted to use the Wahl clippers.

I’m bummed that these clippers where not able to get the job done, because I otherwise liked them quite a lot. I simply think I didn’t buy the right tool for the job. If you’re just looking to do touch ups or more sensitive areas, these may be a good option for you, but for a tougher job you may need a more powerful tool.
