wonderful product October 21, 2008
These clippers cut like butter through my scruffy dogs hair and even my poodle mix. They are quite heavy and do get warm but work wonderfully, I hope mine last as long as others who have had them. br / br /Only thing, it wouldn't cut through the tough down shedding hair of my mom's shelty. His hair was just slowing it down, that it was easier with scissors. Also a negative that they don't come with guides and they're pretty expensive and right now amazon doesn't sell them. Oh yeah also if you think the conair's will fit, they don't, tried it and there too chort to clip on.br /br / Other than those draw backs they have been worth the money and I am sure I would of spent this just cutting my 2 dogs hair at a groomer and I think I will have many more years of use with these to save my money and become closer with my pets.
Cuts through fur like a rabid badger! August 31, 2008
Dog grooming is expensive and traumatic for our dog. We decided to do it ourselves. This clipper is the enhanced version of the gold standard in clippers for dogs and pretty much all other furry creatures large and small.br /br /Pros: It will go through the thickest undercoat quickly, without slowing or jamming. It is very high quality built. It protects pretty well against clipper cuts on the skin. The cord is long enough to reach the largest dogs. It comes with replaceable motor brushes. There is a screen over the air intakes. It's very easy to clean. Two screws remove the blade and you can clean and lubricate it. The #10 blade it comes with cuts hair very very short.br /br /br /Cons: It's loud. If your dog has ever been to a groomer before, this sound will likely scare the crap out of him. When I first turned it on, my dog started to tremble, which he never does. This is probably a side of your dog you don't know yet, so proceed cautiously and slowly introduce your dog to the clipper. This one is very important: It gets ridiculously hot. I mean burning hot. DO NOT use this product without getting the Oster Kool Lube 3 - 14 oz. This spray is not a luxury, it's absolutely necessary. It provides instant cooling and lubrication to the very hot blade. If you do not use this spray at least once every 2 minutes, you will most likely burn your dog and get bit in the process. Both issues are handled better with the clipper spray. A properly clean and lubricated blade will be a bit quieter. The only real complaint I have is there is only one blade with the clipper. The blades are expensive. Usually more than twenty dollars. The #10 blade it comes with cuts hair very very short.br /br /Final Thoughts: Despite the glaring problems of being loud and hot, those are easily managed with behavioral conditioning of your dog and the kool lube 3 spray. Those two problems are not serious enough to risk using another clipper. This clipper is it, it's the best you can get and the best at what it does. If you try clipping a dog with a thick undercoat with a regular clipper, it jams every minute or so unless you go very very slow.

This product works great. If you are in the market for a good set of dog clippers this is the one for you. Dont waste time and money on the cheap ones they dont last. The best part about them is the removable blades. Although the seller I bought from sent them to me on a slow boat from china (Ha Ha) No I did not pay for faster shipping but I thought two weeks was a bit slow. But they work great so who cares

I'd previously used a Wahl rechargeable clipper, which was great for mobility but ran out of juice too fast to do my dog's entire coat completely. (She's a 20-pound Cavachon.) Being corded, the Oster clipper has plenty of power for the job, at the expense of working around the cord. It runs cool and is not too loud, but be sure to order a separate set of guide combs unless you want your dog shaven.br /br /Pros: Powerful, acceptable noise, cool runningbr /Cons: It's corded, and does not come with trim guides
