I agree with a review posted by "James 'Jamie' Farrous." He posted a very positive and succinct review. Andis BGR+ Rechargeable Clipper


My only gripe is mine has a NiCad battery, which I believe they have now replaced with a NiMH [I would verify the battery type before buying one to prevent being sold a closeout version with NiCad]. I have owned mine for 4 years, and it is still performing. I am now back to replace the battery. I am slightly disappointed because I only groom one dog. She is a Std Poodle, so it's a big groom, but I wish a NiMH battery were available when I bought this originally. I feel the NiCad is archaic technology that cannot hold enough charge, nor endure repeated charges and Andis made a mistake by using it. When I originally bought this it was my only battery option. I would be interested in hearing from a professional groomer on this on charge times and longevity etc. I also wonder if this would be too heavy for a professional [battery is very heavy]. Newer corded models are lightweight to reduce work overuse injury/fatigue.

I have honestly never monitored my exact battery times; when I first got it I could perform an entire Std Poodle groom on one charge, now it takes 3 charges, this is even after faithfully using the discharge feature on the charger. I expect to have a better experience when I switch to NiMH; as stated the product is awesome.

I cannot say enough good about the overall design; Andis is top-notch. They really allowed for customization; you only buy what you intend on using (no need to pay for a cord if you do not want to use it). I also believe that an overlooked benefit is the ability to charge a spare battery without it being attached to the unit. Perhaps in the future designs it will allow you to charge two at once.

Kudos:
-This tramples a $20 clipper from Wal-Mart; no comparison. It has been dropped several times, still perfect.
-It has a powerful motor; it navigates a thick poodle coat like butter in comparison to a $20 clipper.
-Battery: it is replaceable without having to send the unit in [think iPhone]
-Like most clippers, no screwdriver required to change blades
-Paying for a poodle groom @ $45 every month, this quickly paid for itself at my house.

This feels like a $200 clipper; I don't feel ripped-off, but yes, $200 is a lot for a clipper. The design is impressively built, and they really made this customizable. That is my favorite feature. You only pay for what you want (battery/cord options), including blades. I own duplicate blades, and just switch them when they get warm.

Nothing beats great quality. This is an expensive item, and worth every cent! I have had two cheap clippers (already reviewed)and this is where I should have been initially. Don't buy this if you are old, because it will outlast you.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars but returned it because it does not have tapering combs for home use, February 5, 2012

Very Good product but too high end for a casual home user.
I would have kept it because I love good quality gadgets, however, the only missing item is the tapering combs which would be key for me to keep it rather than return it.

While the customer service person was excellent and generously offered parts if any were missing, the missing tapering combs made it a return for me this can not be purchased after market.

No doubt it is a great high quality product but it was more than I needed at this time because I need the combs to properly self-cut my hair. Again. its a buy if this is not a concern. They also don't include a cleaning brush which would have been nice.
