Anyone got a long hair dog and groom them yourself?

I’ve got two dogs, both doodles and so I need a clipper set with a vacuum attached.

I’ve seen a bunch of the reviews on a lot of the popular models and all of the lowest reviews are regarding “don’t buy if you have a long haired dog” etc

I can’t find any that either work well or are marketed for long haired dogs.

TIA.

I clip my big doodle but don’t use a vacuum attachment. I just clean it all up as I go.

It’s a bit messy but I only do it every so often. I use professional clippers with the ceramic blades. Regular blades dull too quickly.

I groom our small dog in a dry tub and scoop the hair into the trash when I'm done. Considering opening my own mobile grooming service called Good Enough Grooming. Our motto "It's not great, but it's good enough."

My wife just uses a pair of human hair clippers.

Sure, the dog looks fricked up after, but her hair is definitely shorter.

do not get a vacuum attached set. just vacuum after. it is gonna be such a pain in the arse trying to get your dog to stay calm while you are going at it with a fricking vacuum cleaner. just do it in an area that is easy to vacuum after
