Wahl Bravura vs Arco vs Figura vs Chromado vs Motion: Summary – Which One Should You Get?
Our personal choice is the Bravura followed by the Motion.
But, in general with cordless pet clippers, you may want to consider the following types of features when deciding which clipper to select:
Whether the clipper just runs on a battery, or whether you can plug the charger cord in and run it while it’s corded as well
What the clipper is for – light, medium or thick fur?
What battery the clipper has – rechargeable NiMH or lithium ion? Or replaceable batteries? Personally, we like the rechargeable lithium ion batteries the best as they seem to last the longest and give the best performance
How long does the battery last? And, how long does it take to charge?
