Skylar we have a mini poodle but the hair is very soft right now. I will try the inexpensive clippers and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I can order more expensive ones. Did you use those clippers without the comb to do the face, feet, and sanitary?
I'm embarrassed to say it's been so long, I waited 12 years after the tpoo passed away before I got my current minipoo that I don't remember what I did. I assume I used the clippers without the comb attachments on her face, feet and sanitary and used the combs on her body.
I will say that I have the metal combs attachments for my bravuro and they are so much nicer than the cheap plastic ones that came with my cheap clipper.
I have the Andis ProClip AGC 2-Speed Clipper. It's heavy to hold and vibrates and is a little noisy. If my dog didn't have such a heavy thick coat, I would use the Bravura for her body. The Bravura is much more comfortable to use. I use the Bravura for face and sanitary and the Mini Arco for her feet.
I was able to buy all my clippers and trimmers on sale for great prices. While you start out with that cheap one, keep an eye on the prices and sales for a Bravura with the metal comb guides and either a miniBrav or mini Arco (Arco and Bravura are very similar). I wouldn't buy the Andis ProClip AGC 2 unless, as an adult, you discover the Bravura don't work well.
I do recommend buying either a miniBrav or mini Arco (Arco and Bravura are very similar) right now - I always had a horrible time doing feet, especially puppy feet with the regular size blades. It's so much easier with the narrower mini trimmers.
