Good clipper, gets very hot to hold September 9, 2008
I bought this clipper to cut a large mix-breed dog. The clipper itself worked fine; I think the blade is very good. But, after about 5 minutes, the handle got very hot to hold. It's advertised as having a cool handle, but I can only have it running for about 3 minutes before I have to turn it off and let it cool down enough to use. When grooming a big dog, this can be annoying and time consuming. This could be a glitch in mine, since no one else mentioned it in their reviews.
Great power! Kinda loud. August 11, 2008
This is perfect for dog grooming, though it's a little too loud for my tastes. It has great power, and helps you shear your puppy like you're shearing a sheep! The only crappy thing is that you have to buy and install different sized blades separately if you want to shear at different lengths. There's no guard, and it kinda worries me that I'll accidentally nick my dogs skin. Still, it works better than any dog grooming tool I've tried.

I purchased my first pair of these clippers about 14 years ago. They have just now worn out. I have 32 (yes, number is correct) rescue dogs currently (all neutered or spayed!) and have a lot of grooming. I have been amazed at their durability. Like another reviewer, I have knocked these off tables but fortunately they did not break. I keep the blades sharpened and have never had a moment's trouble. I'm ordering a new pair right now. I also have a Double K 401 clipper, which is more powerful (but cost 3 times as much as the Oster) but is so much heavier and very tiring to use.
replacement clippers February 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I was in high school is the mid 60's we raised standard poodles. My mom ordered a set of Oster clippers. She used them for my years. Then I used them for our small poodle. Just this last week they finally died. Many years of great service and they were finally put to rest. I immediately got on line looking for their replacement. Imagine my surprise when I found the exact same clippers on Amazon ( Golden A5-2 Speed ). I ordered them and just received them in the mail. Fast delivery and I'm anxiously waiting to try them out on our Silky Terrier. They look just like the old ones now if only they deliver the same long time service.
the gold standard in clippers. January 26, 2008

I purchased my original clippers back about 1985 for less than $50. They worked flawlessly for these many years on my various pairs of miniature schnauzers until, alas, I knocked them off the grooming table onto a cement floor where the case smashed into many pieces. The new one seems a replica of the old one which is refreshing since I assumed the casing now would be flimsier while encasing lesser quality innards. I'm happy to say that it seems the same great clipper as before. There were two changes I noted however. It now has two speeds and the cost has doubled.
