Customer Reviews

Great slipper
I previously owned a Wahl kit from Walmart. It comes in a case with all the plastic attachments for length, scissors, comb, DVD, etc.... and all for under $50. Well the problem with this kit is that it just doesn't cut. And you can adjust the blade in and out a bit for length which is a hassle. Also the blade is always loose and crooked. It works so badly that you shove the clipper into the fur and you jsut comb the fur around and it doesn't cut at all. Utter garbage.

I know nothing about animal clippers, so I went online to take a look. I see that there are many brands with Oster and Andis being some of the better ones. I also see that the blades are built as one piece for the length you want. So to get different lengths you swap out blades. No adjustments required so they are perfectly tuned. This is good, but you have to pay $25 or so for each blade and they arn't included with the clippers.

I went to the pet shop and picked up the Andis AGC-2 speed which was reasonably priced compared to the others which are $200-$300. I also picked up another blade. All I can say is wow. It actually works and it works good. I love the blade system without having a single setup and plastic attachments like the cheap ones. It mows right through the worst of fur. I'm sure all pro clippers work great but I'll give a few highlights I noticed.

The feel of the unit is great. It's a bit heavy but just enough to feel solid, not tiring. It has 2 speeds, fast for a going through the thick coat, and slower for trimming and most cutting. The unit is quiet and doesn't heat up like my old Wahl. The old one would heat up so much I had a hard time holding it in certain areas cause it burned. The blades switch out fast and easy with no screws...they just clip in. There are no areas for the fur to get clogged in...so it stays clean. You can do a whole dog without stopping to clean the fur out. The cord is very long as well which is a plus. The kit comes with a #10 (short) for trimming, paws, etc..., a big bottle of oil not a little dropper, and a spare drive mechanism. Uses AG Andis and Oster blades and these are steel not ceramic which I hear dull easily.

Compared to all the pro clippers, this one is well priced and got good reviews from groomers on the net. I did the research. It also fits Oster AG blades which I hear are even better than Andis blades. The Oster clippers are very expensive though. From what I saw on the net Andis and Oster seemed to be the top 2 brands from groomers.

Worked Great!!!!
I bought this for my mom to use on our dogs. We have a terrier chow mix. She has a thick coat. All other clippers have failed when it came to trimming her. These clippers were smooth and quiet. They didn't even bother the dog, she sat there with no problem. I recommend these clippers to all dog owners who want to save money on grooming!

Cool Enough
I've been mowing human hair (myself and 2 kids) for around 17 years now. So at $50+ a pop for 2 border collies at the local puppy coiffure spas I figure to save a few bucks fast, why not? On recomendation of one of these pros, I paid the nice price for the nice new tool shown here. Still the big question was before me. Can I really handle this! Those collies' hair is long, long, long! But determined as ever and with the additional pointer from the pros that one shaves dogs' hair w/ these tight little blades WITH the grain, not AGAINST the grain, I dug in. And I kept digging in. And then I dug in some more! Next time will be a snip and a snap I think as the resulting COOL, beautiful, short and non-shedding coats should go away with one easy pass. The dogs simply love it! What a relief even in this globally warmed paradise we live in! The machine performs as expected.. no problem whatsoever! It's a heavy duty precision device that made me feel like a pro in no time at all!
