The removable battery allows quick swaps, so grooming can continue with minimal downtime. An LED charge light provides at-a-glance status, helping you plan your session without guessing when the power will run out.

• Lithium-ion power paired with a rotary motor to handle a wide range of coat types with steady performance.
• Five speeds: 2,500–4,500 strokes per minute for fine trims to fuller body work.
• Includes a No. 10 CeramicEdge blade that stays sharper and runs cooler than standard steel blades.
• Compatibility with virtually all Ultra Edge CeramicEdge and Show Edge blades for expanded versatility.

Blade technology and comfort

The CeramicEdge No. 10 blade minimizes heat buildup and helps maintain a smooth glide, which can contribute to a calmer grooming experience for pets with sensitivity to heat or noise. The detachable blade system makes routine maintenance and blade swaps straightforward, so you can tailor cuts and finishes without switching tools.

Real-world use and outcomes

Whether you’re grooming a single pet or managing a multi-pet routine, the pulse, balance, and quick blade changes support a calm, efficient workflow. The clamp-free, low-friction action helps you achieve clean lines and blended finishes with less effort. As with any clipper, results will vary by coat texture, length, and grooming technique; consider testing on a small area to determine your preferred settings.
