The Rechargeable Grooming Clippers are a home dog grooming kit built around a rechargeable clipper with a ceramic blade and LCD display. They are for UK dog owners who want to tidy their dog's coat between professional grooms, or take on regular trims themselves, and the kit includes four guide combs, nail clippers, scissors, a stainless steel comb and the essentials to look after the clipper.
With professional grooming appointments often booked weeks ahead, more owners are learning to keep their dog tidy at home. The right rechargeable dog grooming clippers for home grooming make that far more achievable. In this guide we look at what is in this kit, which dogs and owners it suits, how to approach your first clip and how to care for your clippers.
What is included in the Rechargeable Grooming Clippers kit?
This is a complete set rather than a clipper on its own. According to the product information, you get:
- Rechargeable clipper with a ceramic blade
- LCD display
- Charging cable
- Four guide combs
- Lubricating oil and a cleaning brush
- Nail clippers
- Scissors
- Stainless steel comb
- Instruction manual
- Version: LCD Standard A

Having everything in one box is especially useful if you are new to home grooming, as you will not need to piece together separate tools before you start.
Key features of these cordless dog clippers
Ceramic blade
Ceramic blades are a popular choice in grooming clippers. As a general point, any blade can warm up with use, so it is good practice to check the blade temperature against the inside of your wrist regularly during a session and pause if it feels warm.
Rechargeable and cordless
Being rechargeable means no trailing cable while you work, so you can move around your dog more freely and groom wherever is most comfortable, whether that is the kitchen floor, a grooming table or the garden on a dry day.
LCD display
The LCD display gives you on-clipper information, so check the instruction manual for exactly what it shows on your model.
Four guide combs
Guide combs clip onto the blade to control how much coat is left. They are particularly helpful for beginners, as they help you take off an even length and reduce the risk of cutting too short.
Which dogs and owners suit a home dog grooming kit?
- Owners keeping on top of trims between groomer visits, such as tidying feet, faces and sanitary areas.
- Breeds whose coats keep growing, such as poodle crosses, many terriers and other breeds that need regular trimming.
- First-time home groomers who want an all-in-one kit with guide combs and extra tools.
Not every coat should be clipped. Double-coated breeds such as Huskies or many shepherd types are usually not clipped short as a routine, so check with a professional groomer before clipping a breed you are unsure about. If your dog has skin conditions, lumps or wounds, or is very anxious about handling, speak to your vet or a qualified groomer first.
How to use dog grooming clippers at home: a beginner's approach
Before you start
- Charge the clippers fully and read the instruction manual.
- Brush and comb out the coat thoroughly. Clippers work best on a clean, tangle-free coat. A tool like our Rounded-Teeth Grooming Comb, with long and short pins, helps you check for knots first.
- Get your dog used to the sound by switching the clippers on near them and rewarding calm behaviour, before you ever touch the coat.
During the clip
- Start with a longer guide comb. You can always take more off, but you cannot put it back.
- Clip in the direction the hair grows for a smoother finish.
- Keep the skin taut around loose areas, and take extra care around the face, ears, armpits and belly.
- Check blade temperature regularly and take breaks.
- Keep sessions short to start with. You do not have to finish the whole dog in one go.
Some owners find a support aid helpful for smaller dogs; our Grooming Hammock Helper is designed to gently support dogs during nail trims and grooming. Never leave your dog unattended while grooming.
Care tips for your rechargeable clippers
- Brush hair from the blade after each session using the cleaning brush.
- Oil the blade with the supplied lubricating oil, following the manual.
- Clean the guide combs and let them dry before storing.
- Keep the clipper dry and store it somewhere clean.
- Charge as directed in the instruction manual.
