Heavy, but easy to use
I bought these for use on my long haired cat. I'm an amateur, having never attempted to clip his hair myself before, but I found the clippers easy to use, and managed a relatively even cut on the first go. They were reasonably quiet and coped easily with his dense and very fine coat. The only negative I found was that they were large (I have small hands) and felt heavy after 10 minutes of use.
