I am typically a review reader, not writer. However, this product is so good, I felt compelled to share my experience. I ordered the Afloia Dog Grooming Kit last night. It arrived as scheduled early this morning. I quickly & easily assembled it and got straight to work on turning my shaggy pup into the Casanova of the dog park.Let's back this up for a minute... I have a 2-year-old male shih tzu who HATES to be groomed... (Or should I say, he used to hate being groomed!). The hair on this breed grows pretty quickly and can easily become a tangled mess if you do not stay on top of maintenance. As the temperatures rise, my boy needs to be trimmed every 3 weeks. Growing tired of the battle (and then clean up) of trimming him by hand, I decided to order the Afloia Dog Grooming Kit per the recommendation of a woman I met at the dog park.Not going to lie, my little fella wasn't having it at first. But, about 5 minutes in, when he realized it didn't hurt and I was getting the knots out, he laid right down in my lap and let me trim his entire body. As I previously stated, I usually trim him by hand. This was so much easier and certainly less stressful. And BONUS, b/c it sucks up the hair as you go, the clean-up time when I was finished with his trim was also painless.I was so jazzed up on how well this worked on the dog, I decided to push my luck and groomed the cat right after. The kitty LIVES to be brushed but is not a fan of loud noises or suction. I was honestly shocked that he too laid down in my lap and let me groom him without incident.So far, this nifty unit is worth every penny. I highly recommend.A++ on the pet friendly sound level, quality of the device and all of the attachments.

Where has this little gadget been over the last 10 years. I started grooming my dogs at home as they got older. The stress and anxiety of visiting the groomers became too much. I had a set of clippers and they worked fine, but when we had to have one of our small dogs put down due to an illness and adopted a larger dog, the clippers just weren't cutting it. I decided to try this little contraption out. It literally cut my grooming time down on my other small dog to like a half an hour. And it has been a God send on the larger dog. Although he isn't this easiest to groom, this makes the process that much quicker and saves both our sanity

I was skeptical about buying this but after reading reviews and thinking about saving my grooming fees for my Havanese pup, I realized I could save my $65 grooming fees every month. Well it came and I am not one bit disappointed. IT HAS PAID FOR ITSELF. All you have to know is which guards to use on the clipper. (That might take trial and error). The vacuum sucks up all the clippings while you’re trimming. NO MORE TRIPS TO AND FROM THE GROOMERS.

The **Afloia Dog Grooming Kit**, with its vacuum and grooming tools, is a convenient all-in-one solution for home grooming, offering tools like **dog clippers, a nail grinder, trimmer, shedding brush**, and a **low-noise vacuum**. However, based on my experience, there are a few key considerations when using it, particularly with cats or when dealing with fur that has debris or tangles. Here’s a detailed review, along with tips on cleaning, and challenges specific to cats and grooming pets with objects in their fur.### **Design and Build**The **Afloia Dog Grooming Kit** is compact and comes with sturdy attachments for a variety of grooming tasks. The kit includes clippers, a shedding brush, a nail grinder, and a trimmer, all of which attach to a **low-noise vacuum** that collects fur as you groom. The build quality is solid, and the attachments are easy to swap out, making grooming sessions smoother.### **Grooming Tools**- **Dog Clippers and Trimmer**: The clippers are efficient for trimming both long and short fur, but there’s one important caveat—**they can struggle with foreign objects or debris in the fur**. If your dog or cat has small items like burrs, twigs, or mats in their coat, the clippers tend to snag or stall. It’s essential to **brush and clean your pet’s fur** before using the clippers to avoid this issue and prevent damage to the clipper blades.- **Nail Grinder**: This gentle tool works well for smoothing nails after trimming. It’s quieter than traditional nail clippers, which can be stressful for pets, but you still need to approach slowly to get your pet comfortable with the sensation.- **Brush for Shedding**: The shedding brush does an excellent job of pulling out loose fur, particularly during shedding season. The added benefit of the vacuum is that it minimizes mess by collecting the fur right away.- **Low Noise Vacuum**: The vacuum is **low-noise**, making it less intimidating for pets who are scared of loud noises. It’s effective at collecting fur, though it might not have the power to pull in all the hair from thicker or denser coats on the first pass.### **Challenges with Cats**Grooming **cats** with the Afloia kit presents its own set of challenges:- **Anxiety**: Cats tend to be more sensitive to grooming, especially when it involves a vacuum, even a quiet one like this. While the vacuum is low-noise, it may still cause stress, so it’s crucial to introduce the tool gradually. Start by letting your cat get used to the sound from a distance before attempting to groom them.- **Sensitive Areas**: Cats are more prone to discomfort when grooming sensitive areas like their belly, legs, and tail. The clippers and brush may be effective for larger, calmer cats, but you may have difficulty using the attachments on smaller or more anxious cats.- **Patience Required**: You’ll likely need to break up grooming sessions into shorter intervals with cats, especially if they’re not accustomed to being groomed. Additionally, using the shedding brush on long-haired cats may require more care to avoid pulling at tangles.### **Performance**The **vacuum suction** is strong enough to pick up most loose fur, though for pets with very dense fur (especially certain dog breeds), you may need to brush over the area multiple times to get all the loose hair. It’s particularly useful for cleaning up shedding fur, which can otherwise spread around the house. The clippers and trimmer work smoothly as long as the fur is **clean and free from debris**.### **Cleaning Tips**To keep the Afloia kit functioning properly and to maintain hygiene, regular cleaning is important. Here are some useful tips:1. **Clean the Fur Before Trimming**: If your pet has any **foreign objects** in their fur—such as burrs, dirt, or twigs—it’s crucial to remove them before using the clippers. This will prevent snagging and keep the blades sharp and functioning smoothly. A quick brushing or combing session beforehand will help clear out any debris.2. **Regularly Empty the Vacuum Container**: The vacuum container fills up quickly, especially if your pet sheds a lot. Be sure to empty it after each session to maintain suction power.3. **Clipper and Trimmer Maintenance**: Remove fur stuck in the clippers and trimmers after each use to prevent them from clogging. Use the included cleaning brush or a small toothbrush to clean the blades and keep them sharp.4. **Nail Grinder Cleaning**: Nail dust and debris can build up on the grinder, so wipe it down after each use to ensure smooth operation.5. **Filter Cleaning**: Check and clean the vacuum’s filter regularly to prevent clogging and maintain proper airflow.### **Challenges**- **Struggles with Foreign Objects**: The clippers work well on clean, smooth fur, but they can snag or struggle if the fur contains burrs, dirt, or mats. Make sure to thoroughly **brush and clean your pet’s coat** before using the clippers to prevent this.- **Vacuum Power for Thick Fur**: The vacuum’s suction is sufficient for most cases, but it may not have the power to pick up all the loose fur from dogs or cats with very thick coats. You may need to go over certain areas multiple times or do some manual cleaning afterward.- **Pet Anxiety**: Some pets, especially cats, may still be intimidated by the vacuum’s sound. Introducing the vacuum gradually and keeping grooming sessions short at first can help reduce stress.### **Pros**- **Low-noise vacuum**: Great for dogs and cats sensitive to loud noises.- **Versatile attachments**: Shedding brush, nail grinder, clippers, and trimmer included for a full grooming session.- **Reduces mess**: The vacuum collects fur while grooming, making clean-up easier.- **Efficient grooming**: Saves time by combining grooming and fur collection in one tool.### **Cons**- **Snags on debris**: The clippers can struggle with fur that contains small objects, so it’s important to clean your pet’s coat first.- **Thick coats**: The vacuum may not pick up all loose fur from pets with thick or dense coats.- **Pet anxiety, especially in cats**: Cats may be more sensitive to the vacuum noise or grooming process in general.### **Final Thoughts**The **Afloia Dog Grooming Kit** offers a convenient solution for grooming pets at home, combining clippers, a nail grinder, and a vacuum in one kit. While it’s generally effective, the clippers may struggle if your pet’s fur contains foreign objects, so a pre-grooming brush is important. Cats can also be more challenging to groom, but with patience and gradual introduction, the kit can still be useful. Overall, it’s a solid grooming system that helps reduce mess and makes home grooming more efficient, especially if you clean your pet’s fur and work with them slowly.

This was such a game changer. I have an Akita and a husky and they shed like crazy and this really helps if you brush them daily while they are in their shedding season. I love that I don’t have balls of hair to clean up and with my girls I can fill up this little tank three times or more in one day. We love this vacuum/brush.

Game changer! I have a giant schnauzer who is scared to go to the vet let alone to a groomer. I was at my whits end trying to figure out how I was going to get this 80 lb fuzz ball groomed. This was the answer!! He loves having me groom him! The clippers are the bomb! Recommend this product 100%.
