BEETRO500W Electric Professional Sheep Shears, Animal Grooming Clippers for Sheep Alpacas Goats and More, 6 Speeds Heavy Duty Farm Livestock Haircut

Great for the price. Only one of my goats needs shearing, and I had been really struggling with hand shears. I have never used any other electric shears, so I can't really compare the noise level or heat to anything else, but they worked very well. I used the oil that came with them and some cooling spray, but they didn't get excessively hot. I'm assuming these won't last as long as an expensive set, but I think they are a great option for someone who only needs to shear a few animals once or twice a year. Even if I had to buy a new one every year, it is totally worth the convenience. As long as you know general animal grooming safety, they are much safer while giving a closer cut than hand shears.My biggest caution is to be careful not to let the animal kick into the comb (or kick your hand into the comb), but that goes for any electric shears. I also see a lot of people getting these for dogs, and I would NOT recommend using them on a dog. They are much louder than dog grooming clippers, and if your dog is matted, you can use a 10 or 30 blade to get under mats much more safely, with a better result. It is really not necessary to get something this powerful for dog hair.

Great clipper the blades looks dangerous but aren’t hold right on skin no cuts works like a lawnmower minutes instead of hours not to noisy or heavy; thanks for all my free time now

This unit worked fine. It was fairly quiet and cut well. It fell off the table and several teeth broke. They do offer a replacement teeth and it was a reasonable price. We sheared 2 sheep before it broke. Won't need to do for a year so the teeth will arrive in plenty of time. The oil container leaks after opening and made a bit of a mess. Overall very happy with this unit. Broken teeth were totally my fault! I would buy again at this point!

I bought this to use on my two standard poodles. They are farm dogs and get overgrown and matted during winter. Regular professional grade grooming clippers weren’t heavy duty enough so I bought these a year ago. They work great and easily cut through the thick poodle hair. I’m extremely careful and don’t use this on all areas of the dogs, just on their torsos. It’s heavy and it gets hot so taking breaks helps. I’ve cut both my dogs hair several times and the blades are just now getting dull, whereas with my dog clippers I couldn’t even cut the hair on half a dog before the blade dulled.

Thank goodness I finally found something that will cut my Great Pyrenees extra thick double coat and matted pantaloons from the winter. I tried a couple other professional grade pet clippers and they did nothing. Like they wouldn't even cut a single hair. These dog's coats are crazy thick. It's like, well, wool.These Sheep Shears - oh my. AMAZING. I literally laughed aloud with glee as they cut my dog's hair. It was like literal butter on these mattes. Is the cut perfectly even? Nope (might get better with practice), but I don't care. My dog is groomed and he's super happy to not be wearing a 6 inch winter coat outside in the Summer. I wish I had bought these years ago. (I know it said not for dogs, but literally nothing for dogs worked. If you have a super thick coated dog - this is perfect).

I first off I am very adept when it comes to electronic mechanical devices. This item is not built well, the components fail quickly, motor runs hot, clipper teeth will not stay engaged, and the two teeth components will not stay together for cutting.

Heavy, overheats, noise scares my dogs. Bought to use on a sheepdoodle and a poodle. Unfortunately it works great for the first 10 minutes but over heats a lot. You can easily cut an animal with these as well. Only use it on the dogs large areas, definitely do not use on legs, head, or tails. You will really hurt your animal.

I bought these last year after a well known alpaca shearing group left 2 of my alpacas's undersheared - they indicated their coats were oily "alpacas don't have lanolin" after they left as they were shearing in the dark I ordered these as the shearing job was a hack piece - I was able to finish trimming them then put them up in case I ever needed them. Well this year the cost of shearing has gone up again and I cannot afford it so decided to try to shear on my own after spending 7 years having someone professionally shear them. I do not sell or process the fleece so it just needs to be off the animal. I tied my largest alpaca Puck and did a standing shear on him - after 10 mins he's about 3/4 done - I'd rather go slow and spray the blades frequently than go fast and cause harm. I'm ordering a second set of blades so I can ensure all my 5 alpacas are clipped well. I don't know why this is listed as a frequently returned item it worked great for me and I am very particular about products I use on my animals. A++++++
