Andis22340 ProClip 2-Speed Detachable Clipper Blade – Runs in Cool & Quiet Manner, Design with Two-Speed Rotary Motor & Shatter-Proof Housing - 120 Volts, Black

When our groomer raised our rates, it was time to learn about trimming a dog on our own. This product came highly recommended from a groomer. We purchased it realizing that if we trim our dog 3 times, we will have made money. The clippers are nice and heavy to make sure they hold up for long uses. It does get warm after about 45 minutes of use, but seems to cool quickly. We were outside with a breeze. It took us forever to trim our dog and this held up well. As we get better at grooming, it won't take so long. The hardest thing is changing the head. A 10mm is pretty short and good for around the private areas. We bought a 5mm for the body which is also a bit short, but as it's summer, he needs the shorter fur. IT keeps the stickers away. Overall this is a great product.

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.

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 would give these five stars, but they just didn't work for my Great Pyrenees. Her fur is just too thick for this to work with a guide. What hair i could getbto the clipper it cut, but her fur just will not go through a guide. It's more like sheep's wool than a normal dog.

Originally when first handling the removable blade, I remembered struggling to follow the provided instructions. After having used it for half a dozen trims, I know to push down the button at the base of the blade to release the blade. Be sure NOT to push in the hinge blade holder until you slide in the blade (otherwise you'll have to pry it back out). Once you place the blade in, turn on the switch briefly to ensure that the blade locks down correctly into the motor - the blade has one piece that moves back and forth relative to the back plate and will require jostling to catch onto the motor hook. If the blade still does not sit down relatively flat against the housing, it probably means that this moving blade needs to be slid back towards the center - you can actually slide it entirely out to clean which means it can also be pushed out of joint.The steel Andis blades get hot fast so I'm always testing against my skin as I use it and cooling down with Andis cool care spray throughout. I spray both sides and turn the switch on for a second to get it into the teeth then wipe the blade down so I don't streak my dog with the spray. The clipper comes with #10 which I use for the face, feet and sanitary area (butt and around to stomach). As a beginner, I'm happy with this length as opposed to the shorter #15 - plus I like a little fuzz which I think is nicer and less aggravating to my dog's skin. I have a miniature poodle which requires trimming often. The blades cut through her thick chocolate hair cleanly and I use the #10 to give her poodle feet where I dig out the hair between her toes in her webbing. I've purchased in addition, the #4FC for a nice 3/8" soft coat that provides her sun protection and most recently the #7FC 1/8" blade for the humid NYC summer.The cord is plenty long for my small dog needs and I try to keep it out of the way by keeping it to the outside of my cutting arm. I rarely use the higher speed and doubt that I actually need it. Although my dog is small, I still require a couple of hours to trim her and have lately been doing her feet on a separate day so I break up the ordeal for my dog. I like to clip my dog all over including legs and ears for a practical, clean cut. (The only vanity is her pompom tail). For small poodle owners, I recommend Terra Nova's The Toy & Miniature Poodle which goes into detail how to trim them. I haven't been able to find a good video yet and instead surf youtube.The product feels well-made and durable. The motor is not particularly loud nor vibrates too much. It is easy to clean up after trimming - I use an old toothbrush to brush out the blades and exposed attachment area. You can also remove the top plastic cap and lightly brush the top area. The box comes with a 4oz bottle of clipper oil too which you should apply to the blade before use, but be sure to wipe off. Overall, feels like a professional product and appears to cut as smoothly as the ones I see at the groomers.

I’ve had a oster for years and needed a replacement. Tried two brands and did not care for either. One ran too hot, and the other didn’t have stainless steel replacement blades. Then , tried the Andis. So great! Does not run hot, quiet sound, fits all my blades, and cuts my cutting time in half!! Worth every penny!

It seems ridiculous to purchase such an expensive grooming unit, but my puppy doesn't do well at the groomers when they put him in kennels between activities. With that, the cost of one on one grooming is extremely expensive as one session is the cost of this grooming unit. Using this with the removable 10 blade as well as a separate 3 3/4 blade allowed me to fully groom my puppy for the cost of a session, while being able to keep him comfortable. The unit has substantial power to keep going where other units would quit.
