10 best grooming machines
For many dogs and cats grooming is not just a fashionable procedure, needed only to emphasize the status of the owner, but a necessity. In particular, animals of decorative breeds need a haircut, which, for the most part, differ in their wool, which is not the easiest to care for. Yorkshire Terrier, Poodle, Lapdog, Biewer York, West Highland White Terrier and many other dogs not only look unkempt without proper care, but can also experience serious discomfort, because the longer the coat, the more dirt and insects it can collect and the more difficult it is to wash the animal after walking. Grooming is no less important for long-haired cats. Timely haircuts can significantly reduce the number and length of hairs that these clean animals swallow when washing their face, and therefore reduce the risk of lumps in the stomach. All this makes grooming an important part of pet health care.
Special grooming machines are best suited for grooming animals. Unlike devices for clipping human hair, they are designed specifically for wool, which means they do not damage its special structure and effectively cope with their task. However, it is important to choose the right grooming machine, as most of them are designed for a specific type of coat and size of the animal. Such a device is optimal for home use and is relatively inexpensive. For professional use, the most powerful and versatile models designed specifically for salons are best suited.
TOP 10 best grooming machines
10 Oster Cordless Mini
The American small animal edging clipper has become the most inexpensive and miniature reviewer. Unlike its rated neighbors, the Oster Cordless Mini is not intended for the main haircut, but for working in the most inaccessible places: between the toes, on the paws, around the eyes and ears. In addition, the device is suitable for express grooming of exhibition animals between exits to the ring, because its compact size and low weight allow you to take it with you wherever you go. The most intuitive control greatly simplifies the use of the device. At the same time, the machine is incredibly easy to clean and runs on a pair of AA batteries.
Although the Oster development, according to reviews, is distinguished by a decent motor speed and good clear cuts, it is strongly not recommended to use it for the main haircut, as well as on thick coat. After all, the blade of the model is not designed for heavy loads and will quickly become dull when used for other purposes.
9 Ziver-210
Not the most powerful, but the easiest to use and quietest, this inexpensive pet clipper has established itself as a great affordable option for home use. The super-quiet rotary motor with a power of 10 watts and the possibility of operating from a battery make the device suitable even for the first grooming in life, because the less sounds and wires, the calmer the pet sits. Despite the very pleasant price, the grooming machine pleases with a practical package. A set of two reversible attachments allows you to easily adjust the length of your haircut.
Among the main advantages of the model, buyers highlight, first of all, a removable ceramic knife, which is easy to change if necessary, a lightweight ergonomic body, low noise level, battery life for about an hour. But, despite all the advantages, this machine is not suitable for everyone, because it is not designed for fluffy hair, thick undercoat and hair cutting.
8 Monella MHC-01J-Turbo
The Monella grooming machine is one of the most affordable, but at the same time the best in terms of completing the rating participants. Unlike most competitors, this inexpensive and fairly simple device is supplemented not only with a few attachments, but also with everything you need to fully care for your dog or cat.The clipper is completed with a double-sided comb, a brush for removing tangles and even a nail clipper and nail file. The kit also includes a basic plastic case, cleaning brush and blade guard, lubricating oil and a training disc, which will be especially useful for novice groomers. An equally interesting feature is the turbo mode, which allows you to increase the speed of the knife when necessary.
According to reviews, Monella successfully copes with the grooming of Yorkshire terriers, pugs and some other animals with straight hair. However, the device is not designed for thick long hair, as well as for professional use.
7 Ziver-202
The capabilities of budget machines for grooming dogs and cats are mostly far from ideal, but there are also models such as the Ziver-202, which can be characterized as the best price-performance ratio. Adequate cost in this model is combined with a power of 15 watts, battery life up to an hour, small dimensions, a convenient ceramic knife that does not electrify hair, and four convenient attachments for 3, 6, 9 and 12 millimeters. Unsurprisingly, this machine has become the most popular among home grooming advocates.
Inexpensive and convenient, the Ziver-202 model is distinguished by its versatility, which is rare for a state employee. With its help, you can easily trim not only a Yorkie or a poodle, but also dogs with a more complex coat, for example, the Maltese lapdog. Also, buyers note an excellent result when cutting a Persian cat and other furry pets. But there is also a minus - this machine, like everything cheap, is not too durable.
6 Codos CP-9180
Codos CP-9180 is a unique model that, contrary to all stereotypes, is recommended by the manufacturer for grooming not only dogs and cats, but also rodents and even humans. After all, this machine has something that most analogues do not have - three speed levels ranging from 5000 to 7000 rpm, a sharp knife made of steel and ceramic with the ability to choose one of four length positions and an innovative LED display with bright color identifiers that provide better control of the situation. The screen quickly shows not only the charge level, but also the set speed. Convenient, intuitive controls on the front of the device greatly simplify the process.
In addition to ergonomics and aesthetic appearance, the reviews often note a fairly low noise level, thanks to which animals calmly respond to the device, as well as the high speed and quality of the haircut. The machine copes well even with the matted coat of the American spaniel.
5 Moser 1400-0075
The reasonably affordable price did not prevent this practical development with a medium-performance motor from entering the ranks of the best and even squeezing expensive machines for professional use. Since this Moser product is not particularly powerful, it is not recommended for long-term work, which means it is only suitable for grooming cats and small dogs with a low undercoat and no tangles. But in working with these animals she has no equal. Thanks to high quality German knives made with Star Blade technology, friction is minimal. The car runs very softly and smoothly, without causing any disturbance to the pet.
Many owners of miniature smooth-haired dogs call this Moser model the best solution and the best value for money in the budget segment. After all, this inexpensive professional machine is effective, reliable and, if used correctly, will last a really long time.
4 Andis 53165 MBG-2 ProPet
Andis is definitely one of the best friends of the professional groomer as well as longhaired cat owners. Representatives of the feline family, for the most part, have very thick and difficult-to-care fur, which not every clipper will take, and at the same time much shy and intractable dogs, which is why it is very difficult to cut them.However, Andis will help both a specialist and a beginner to easily cope with the task. Very quiet but powerful, this professional 20-watt clipper will handle the extra fur before the fluffy fussy loses patience, because it does its job almost silently and at the same time quickly enough.
A pleasant bonus to the device are four interchangeable attachments, oil for cleaning the knife block and a really handy branded case that helps to keep all the components in perfect order. Thanks to him, the machine is easy to transport.
3 Wahl Bravura Lithium 1870-0471
The grooming machine from Wahl, famous for the highest German quality and thoughtfulness, will become the pride of any pet salon and will take animal grooming to a completely new level and new speed. This model deserves special attention, because it is the only professional machine with a power of 5500 rpm. Such a frequency of knife movements significantly increases the cutting speed and allows you to work without preparation even with a fairly thick coat. At the same time, the device is very versatile thanks to the ability to adjust the cutting height in the range from 0.7 to 3 millimeters and a generous set of six attachments. The package also includes a charging cradle and components for cleaning the clipper.
Professional groomers note the convenient design, thanks to which the specialist's hands do not get tired even during long haircuts, as well as a long service life. At the same time, Bravura Lithium is easy to use, making it suitable for beginners too.
2 Moser Rex 1230-0060
Not the most expensive, but very practical and hardy, this professional machine is better than many analogues for grooming dogs of large soft-haired breeds, even if the procedure takes a lot of time. The powerful machine with good protection against overheating easily withstands hours of work and at the same time easily copes not only with straight, but also with very long and wavy hair, which means it is ideal for clipping Retrievers, Setters, Afghan Hounds and many other dogs, as well as most cats. At the same time, Moser Rex can offer as many as 5 haircut length options: from 0.1 to 3 millimeters. Adjusting the position of the knife is easy and simple - you just need to set the side adjuster lever to the desired position.
The special advantages of the machine, according to the reviews of groomers and pet owners, are completely silent operation, a long period of continuous operation and a professional result. Many consider it to be the best solution for the average price.
