Are the Wahl Arco SE Clippers a good choice for grooming?

I have three rescue dogs. I have groomed my two Jack Russell Terriers seasonally using my husbands head clippers. My only problem with that has been the noise distressing my smaller, anxious dog. We have since rescued a mini-goldenoodle. He is 40 pounds of curly hair and hubby's clippers won't go through it.
At $50 or more per grooming, I figure that I can pay off my own pair in one groom. (That and hubby is on to my stealing his clippers and he's not happy.)
I found what seem to be a nice pair of cordless clippers by Wahl for $124. They come with a spare blade, spare battery and have good reviews. The blade adjusts, so I won't need to buy multiple blades. (Unless I choose to get a course blade but isn't that for horses?)
Does anyone actually use this clipper? This is on the high end of what I can afford right now. I'd hate to waste good money on bad clippers. There are so many choices out there, I only need this for the three dogs, every couple months. This is not a daily groomer.
Thanks!
 
I don't know the Wahl, but let me tell you what I got for my great pyrenees, and you can research it and consider it. OH... you'll trash his clippers that way, girl.

Oster A-5 dual speed clipper is heavy duty enough to trim a pyr and all it's fur (100# dogs with a double coat). It is NOT battery run. It cost me about $120. when I bought mine. It's about $170 now, but look at it.

I sent you a link to it as JeffersPet where you can also look at the Andis brand. I don't know the brand, but don't get a clipper that costs less than $100 if you want a sturdy one. -!-
