A good unit for the job at hand - border collie cross with quite a lot of "undercoat". The undercoat did clog the somewhat flimsy steel height guide which had to be cleaned out regularly during the cut, but the blades were sharp, motor powerful enough to get through the hair and did a good job on the 'farm dog" to keep her cooler. She isn't too fussed about the overall look of the cut, and I probably need to practice getting the finesse cut others might expect.
