Heiniger Style Midi Trimmer

Excellent trimmer - very high quality. Attachment combs are really good - wish you could get metal ones though. Has convinced me to save for a Heiniger cordless cutter rather than mains cords getting in the way!

Its not as easy as the WHARl Arco, which I love but only last me around 3 months before I have to replace it at £120 a time. I think this will last longer as the blade unit is self contained and seems to be a lot more robust. I hope so anyway.

I bought these to replace my 2 year old ARCOs that were falling apart. Although the trimmer is comfortable to hold and look nice, thats about the only positives I can find. The blade appeared blunt straight out of the box with only the middle settings actually cutting effectively. They are no quieter than the ARCOs and don't vibrate any less. One of my own dogs (schnauzer) hates them near his ears and I've been clipping his ears for 7 years. The charge doesn't last as long as stated and you need to keep it docked on the charger between uses. The blade is quite stiff to remove for cleaning and not easy to relocate it back on the clipper. They don't appear to clip as cleanly as the ARCOs and quite often find myself covering the same area several times to get a clean clip as it leaves tufts of hair. Plus the little cleaning brush was missing out of the box!! Very disappointed especially as they are sooooo expensive compared to other trimmers.
