When I received this mower, I was very pleasantly surprised. I tried several other models of mowers because I have a dog so small FOX cross with a thick and hard hair, and a mustache, but I've always been disappointed because the clippers skate in semolina ... it does cut not well, hung ca ... In short, I bought this one after reading good reviews. I was very surprised by its weight (well, it is quite heavy) and I immediately saw that it was a lawnmower 'was worth it', not a small beginner's toy. I tested it on my dog. It took about 30 minutes to mow my dog (I mows the whole, different lengths) but it must be said that my dog does not lend itself at all to the situation so it's a little longer than provided in each case;) The mower makes little noise, my dog did not at all afraid and do not fear. The thread is long enough, no worries. The mower is handy, good grip for me. The cut is very good, it does not slip into the semolina, it does not hang in the hair. This is a summary of my first cut, however, to see how it will evolve over time, but this seems to me to be a very good product, robust, and strong.
