Andis24675 UltraEdge 2-Speed Detachable Blade Pet/Dog Clipper – Runs Cool & Quiet, Designed with Two-Speed Rotary Motor & Shatter-Proof Housing - For All Coats & Breeds - 120 Volts, Black

Wow! I’m impressed. My dog is sensitive to loud noises and this is the only grooming shaver he can tolerate. My dog is an Australian Shepard, super thick double coat fur, mats easily. This shaver worked wonderful. I was hesitant on it being a plug in but I attached it to an extension cord and trimmed my dog outside in the shade…worked great. I will note that this shaver is not silent like other reviews I read, it’s just not as loud as other products for grooming.

Game changer vs the $30-$40 ones on Amazon. I wish I went with this sooner. I was washing my dogs the day before and letting them dry, my cheap clippers wouldn't easily cut. So I got a blow dryer which made barely an improvement. Then I got a real set of clippers and I mowed through my doodle shaggy winter coat easy as can be. The clippers make the difference and is what you are needing if you are trying to decide.

This clipper is a breeze to use! It cuts my fluffy bunny’s coat very well. The blade gets warm but cools down in just a few minutes if left on a glass table. I finished her groom in around an hour! Highly recommend. I got a 2nd 10 blade to go with it so I can swap between the two and groom faster. The clipper has a little weight to it but not bad. The blades detach with ease.

I do not recommend this shaver for a couple reasons. First, it is so heavy I wouldn’t have been able to finish a groom using this device. It’s awkward and not at all ergonomic. I got it all set up, oiled and was excited to try it out.After 3 minutes I switched back to my old shaver. This one is not useable. Can’t return it because I used it, but I regret the purchase.It is quiet to operate, but is not useable.

I just took this clipper out yesterday to use it for the first time. Since I have a size 7 blade I wanted to put on, and since I am merely an amateur dog groomer of only my own dogs, I read the directions about how to remove the size 10 that came attached to it. Well, it turns out that THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE INACCURATE AND I CUT MYSELF ON THE BLADE pretty badly. (Hence, four stars.) I was worried I might need stitches, but so far the super glue I used on it is holding the skin together.This was completely avoidable since I discovered on accident how to actually easily remove the blade at the same time I sliced myself. (I am pretty sure the cut made it through all the layers of my skin on my pointer finger and I have a minor slice on the palm of my hand. The glue came off in the pic of my finger. You can sort of see the cut on the palm of my hand through the glue. I just took these pics now, not right after it happened. Will be re-gluing shortly.)The instructions say, "While holding down the blade release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade forward." I am here to tell you not to push the blade down at all. You press the release button and then pull up on the blade and it easily comes right off. Both my husband and I tried to get it off using said directions without success, and I even used a rubber shelf liner to protect my hand while I did it. I don't even know how the slicing of my hand ended up happening. The blade was so sharp I didn't even feel it at first. So please be careful. I don't want anyond else to suffer like me.As for the clipper, it worked well on my Mini Schnauzer overall. I didn't even bother using the low setting much as the high setting was really smooth. My old Andis blade combs fit nicely on it. The cord is pretty long, but I still used an extension cord for it. The blade got hot eventually, just like any other blade, so I unplugged and let it cool off a few times. If you are a groomer, you likely have multiple blades, so that will probably only matter for us amateurs. The unit itself wasn't louder than usual. This doesn't come with a case, which I don't like, but it does have a little metal hanger on it. So enjoy the clipper, but be careful!

All I can say is I should’ve bought these earlier. The previous clippers I had were rated professional but were in no comparison to the quality, speed, functionality, and durability of these. I use these for personal use on my Aussie doodle, who has wavy thick hair. I asked a groomer and she recommended these along with another brand that was 4x the cost. Those weren’t in my budget but these work so well that I have no regrets. I would go over the same spots and unstick hair from the plastic attachment combs every few swipes taking me over an hour to simply cut the hair evenly. I bet it took me 25 minutes to do the same job and I could leave it long for Midwest harsh winters. I added a picture of the combs as these were a great pairing. I am unsure if I had gotten plastic ones if I would’ve been as happy with the results. So for $150 I have clippers and attachments that work very well and save me a tremendous amount of time. How much does it cost to groom your pet? This is priced but you won’t buy 3, as I have done in 2 years, if you just grab these the first time and swallow the slightly higher price tag. Also, I spoke with a friend who works in a vet office and the blade can be sharpened if you don’t want to replace it when it gets dull, which saves about $30 in replacement blade cost. She even used these on her horse. Highly recommend grabbing these trimmers and the metal attachment blades for personal use!Slight negative: As others stated, they do get warm. I found I was done cutting as it got to this point. I would think a pause for the motor to cool would take care of it if you are cutting multiple animals.
