I have a Maltese pup that is a little fur ball and grooming can be quite pricey. I was looking forward to trying out these clippers but when they came one of the guards would not fit. The guards are double sided so it is actually missing 2 settings. That is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I still plan on making the best of it and try to use the shorter guards. If it's to short it will grow back. It also comes with a comb and sheers for trimming his face and paws. It's a really nice set and I'm hoping to get alot of use out of it. Hopefully it will save me alot of money by doing the grooming myself.
