Nice and compact, quiet.
My Staffy isnt bothered by the noise at all.
Really pleased I decided to give them a try as he doesn't go on enough walks now hes 14 yrs to naturally reduce the length of his nails and clipping them is to much of a risk because if clipped to short they will bleed and thats something i dont want.
Tested the grinder on my own nails to see what the dog would be feeling and it was nothing uncomfortable.after 1 use it does a great job, takes a little time but well worth it...
