 An as-seen-on-TV items that actually works! December 18, 2008
PROS: Quality construction, rechargeable, easy to use, fairly quiet, actually works! After clipping my dog's nails, they would be jagged and razor sharp, resulting in bloody gashes on our arms and legs when we played with him. This solves that problem!
CONS: The guard is a pain. I took it off. My dog didn't like the guard for some reason. It's easier to use with the guard off and it really doesn't make a mess anyway. With the guard on the filing bands kept slipping down, causing me to stop, take the guard off, and reposition the band. The battery can only be charged for 4 hours. You have to basically set a timer so you won't overcharge it.
SUGGESTIONS: Works great but took about a week before my dog allowed me to use it on him. Treats, praise, treats praise! Don't give up. I wish the filing band was hourglass shaped, so it would round the nail easier, but oh well. Still worth it. It takes a while to get the nail as short as I want it. I do one paw a night. It's a nightly routine now.
 Worthless junk October 22, 2008

Own it. For my dalmation it would not trim her nails, just smooth out jagged nail edges. The band wore out quickly. The replacement bands sent with the machine were too loose and would slip off as soon as machine was turned on. I'd have had more fun lighting my money on fire.
Shoddy quality October 10, 2008

I am very displeased with the quality of the filing bands for this product; they unraveled on first use. I want to return the product but because I am beyond the 30 day window I cannot get my money back from the company only replacement bands. Why would I want more of an obviously defective product.
Don't buy here - go right to PetiCure website October 7, 2008

The price from this seller on Peticure products are way higher than the Peticure website. Prices from the manufactuer website: Power = $59.99; Elite = $49.99; and Petite = $29.99. Don't get ripped off by this re-seller; buy the products directly from the manufacturer.
 The best way to cut your pet's nails October 7, 2008

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE PETICURE POWER, PROFESSIONAL MODEL.
I have a great dog with a good temperament. However, to cut his nails and then spend a long time filing them takes a lot of time and patience on both the dog's and dog parent's part.
Even with walking outside the nails are still sharp. I saw an ad for the Pedipaws but searching on the internet, it was an offshoot from the Dremel and Peticure.
Not having much experience with these devices, I compared the prices of the 3 models by Peticure. There are three models: The Petite, Elite and Power. The Petite and Elite come with 3 filing bands. The Power which operates through a plug has 20 extra bands, is lighter and 2 times more powerful. Given the fact that bands are $15 for 20, there is no reason to get nothing but the Power model (except for recharging capability).
The 2 sheets that accompany the model are poorly written. You have to refer to the company website to watch the videos on how to operate this. Putting the thing together is not intuitive. More explicit directions would have been better.
You need to remove the plastic ring at the base of the head to attach the guard. You push the lock button to untwist the mechanism to place the drum on the unit.
The noise is a moderate pitched whirring sound. My dog was not frightened by it. There are preset ports that the nail is placed into. Stabilize the pet's finger and use quick strokes to file the nail. After some awkwardness of the operator, me, I got the hang of it. There are videos on the website to direct you. Dewclaws (at least on my dog's) were impossible to file. The guard prevents but does not entirely eliminate the possibility of hair getting caught into the mechanism so be careful.
After spending 3 times more effort assembling the unit versus actually using it, I was quite satisfied with it.
If you are concerned about cutting your dog's nails but want something quicker to use, this is IT! This helps me round out the 'sharp nails' that I have to deal with when my doggy greets us.
Aside from the stated 4-6 weeks of receiving it from ordering, it was worth the wait.
I highly recommend THE PEDICURE POWER, PROFESSIONAL MODEL.
