Not a good buy

I have an Andis clipper that I bought the first part of this year from a local pet store. They got so hot we could not finish cutting a miniature schnauzer without having to let them cool several times.



I ordered the Andis Ultra Edge AGC Super 2 speed clipper on the recommendation a person the clips dogs on the side and a partial review of the product on Amazon.com.



We used the clippers for the first time 7 12 07. I am one that reads instructions before using a product because I don't profess to know more about something then the manufacture does like some people do. These clippers were oiled like the instructions say. We could not get the dogs head done without having to stop because they got so hot. You could not hold your hand on them. I also ordered a different blade for the clippers and they also go so hot we had to stop. I have one miniature schnauzer that is kind of butchered up and another one that is not finished. We have to wait a couple days for the Oster clippers to arrive.



I have requested a refund on these clippers and have another brand ordered from Amazon.



P.S.



I am almost bald and my wife can not give me a complete hair cut without having to stop and wait for the clippers to cool.



The clippers came from USA-WORLD-SALES and they will not give a refund on the clippers.

Perfect length!

This length blade was recommended by a professional pet groomer. I have a Miniature Schnauzer mix dog and was having a problem using attachments on the #10 blade...still couldn't get that smooth look I wanted. Bought this blade and it is perfect...not too long and not too short a cut. This length blade is difficult to find in pet stores...they generally stock a #4FC (their longest cut blade) and a #5FC blade and a #8FC blade in addition to the stock #10 blade which comes with the trimmers. I also found that the store prices are slightly higher than found at Amazon.com (especially since you can qualify for free shipping).



Great blade...love the AGC quick changeability of these type of blades. Since I trim 2 dogs and their coats require different length blades I can change them in a snap without having to mess with screws etc.



This length blade is a good all-around blade...it leaves just enough hair on your dog without getting close like the #10 does and you don't have to mess around with the attachments (which I find to be a pain really).More detail ...

Just what I wanted

The Oster oil was just what I wanted the price was right and it was delivered promptly.

Excellent clippers for heavy dog fur

We bought these clippers to trim our long haired German Shepherd Dog. She had a very thick under coat. The clippers worked great. I had no previous training using clippers so I was a bit nervous about accidentally cutting her. That was never a problem at all. The clippers took a bit of practice to get used to but once I got the feel of it I was confident. I bought a #7 blade and that's what we used for her heavy coat. I also bought a can of the Andis Cool Care Plus spray. The blade does get hot while clipping the spray helped to cool it down so we could continue in one session.



The amazing thing about these clippers is that they seem so solidly built. They are not very noisy at all. Actually my husband and I laugh because these animal clippers are much better than the "human" ones they use on him when he gets a haircut. :)More detail ...

Well worth the price

I bought this model 7 years ago for over $100 and it is still running strong although I only use it to clip a small family dog. Nevertheless forget the cheap vibrating 'magnetic motor' clippers - not enough power and the buzzing bothers the animal. This clipper uses a superior rotating motor that is more powerful and provides a consistent cutting action. In fact with the right (replaceable) blade you could use this to cut kids hair as well. It stays cool unlike the magnetic motor design. Use with Oster Kool Lube and you will never have problems getting a clean cut. It uses blades by Oster so there is a lot of versatility possible.More detail ...
