5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST CLIPPER OUT THERE!, May 27, 2009

I love this clipper! I'm a professional groomer so my equipment takes a beating. I really like the lights on this clipper. I can now safely shave a tummy without worry!
The lights work great. You can see exactly what you're doing. They do NOT produce heat.
The switch has 2 settings so you can choose to have the lights on or off.
It has more power than my old Andis, therefore can easily get through anything (so far).
It doesn't make as much noise as the older Andis (less scary for the dogs).
The blades do not seem to heat up as fast as the older model did. They only heat up if it's jammed up with undercoat, and a quick dip in blade wash seems to solve the problem.
The cord is really long, nothing like the older ones. You won't be restricted because of outlet placement. I think this would also be great for clipping horses because it's quiet & powerful, although I don't know if a light is needed for horses?
I definitely recommend this clipper. It seems to have the best bang-for-the-buck out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did I wait?, July 29, 2009

I've been shaving two cats for many summers now - you'd think it would have occurred to me to buy pro-grade clippers rather than get a cheap set every year that had to be replaced after one use. Not to mention, the cheap clippers would always take anywhere from 1-2 hours per cat. By the end of it, each cat would cry and squirm like a child on a 5-hour road trip. It finally occurred to me that, as a kid, I'd seen people shearing sheep on TV. The sheep have much tougher & thicker fur than cats do, but those clippers would strip the fur off in a manner of seconds - I decided I would find those clippers and pay whatever the price.

Fortunately, I didn't have to look as far or spend as much as I'd expected - I found this clipper set online, read the reviews and put in the order. What a pleasure it is to shave those cats now. It takes 10 minutes (where it used to take at least 45) and it glides through thick cat hair like a knife in warm butter. I've only used it once - time will tell how long it stays effective, but I think as long as I follow the basic maintenance instructions it should last for years.

I have a terrier/poodle/mutt mix lol and I have tried two other clippers to get through his very thick hair and they couldnt do it. This one does it and I am soooo happy to finally find something that can get the job done. If you have a dog with a very dense coat that matts easily this is amazing!
