@trulyblst54 Ahhhh! Thank YOU for sharing this!! I kinda wondered if this might be the case w/ cordless. Just seems like we need a little bit more development in battery technology before they can compete 100%. I’m sure it’s “nice” to have cordless but since I’m used to the cord, and have two...

@bob_johnson Arrgghh!! I thought I was all set when I made the mistake ;) (haha!) of looking at the Wahl KM. Darn it. I wanted a corded just so it wouldn’t run out of juice but that one is dual corded/cordless AND it has a full 5 year warranty vs 1 year on the Andis. Plus a brushless motor, like...

@bob_johnson Excellent info. I’m definitely going w/ detachable. Was considering adjustable and so forth but the ability to easily replace or upgrade the blades makes a lot of sense. And w/ two full-size doodles, there’s a lot of dog “real estate” to clip so they blades will get dull. I...

@livelifeliving33 Goodness, the advice from so many in this thread has been such a great deal of help! I was really torn between Oster and Andis and thought they’d be similar but so much love for Andis has been an eye opener! I’ll definitely be looking at the UltraEdge. Sounds like that’s...

@chaz1268 So much love for the Andis clippers! I really appreciate you sharing this and the fact that the Oster were awful. I was surprised, thinking that the Oster and Andis would be comparable but it definitely sounds like they aren’t and that makes my decision so much easier. I would have...

@chaz1268 As I mentioned below, the talk of higher end Wahl had me check those out. Goodness! A full 5 year warranty! Makes it harder to consider the 1 year that Andis offers. I appreciate you mentioning this. Not sure which way I’ll decide now but the additional info will help me make a better...

@cornopean Wow! Lots of good thoughts about the Andis. I’ll definitely look into both of these. For the money, is it worth the extra $$$ for the Excel (for a non-pro) vs the UltraEdge 2 Speed? Thanks for this info. Really helped me decide to go with the Andis!

@imagebeastmarkbeast I have a really good “human” dryer but not a “dog dryer”. Can use low heat and high airflow. I’ve generally clipped them first and washed second just to make sure all the loose hair from the clip gets washed off and doesn’t stay in their hair or get around the house. But...

Hello, I hope this is the best place to post this. I didn’t see this subreddit when I searched initially and the r/dog community actually pointed me over here to get the best advice. :) But reading through several of the posts, I was struck by what a kind, caring, and supportive sub this is...

@livelifeliving33 Oh my goodness! That sounds terrible about the 4 & 5 comb guides. Is it the #4 & #5 guards that you’re meaning? (Can’t remember the actual length but somewhere around 1/2”). Is this something that can be improved w/ a different set of universal guards? For instance, I’ve read...

Hello! I’m finally ordering my high quality detachable blade clippers. Excited! I’m also getting a set of blade guards to go on it since I’ll primarily be clipping my two doodles w/ longer “puppy cuts”. (No shaved feet, faces, or anything like that.) I’ll mostly be using a 1” (#8), a 1.25”...

Hello, I’ve been doing a lot of reading as I’m about to invest in a “real” set of high quality clippers for our two dogs. This sub has been brilliant for helping point me in the right direction on this. I’ve been learning a lot now about the different blades that are used on the clippers and...

@chaz1268 @chaz1268, I wanted to take the time to do a shoutout with a massive THANK YOU for sharing about that new design slicker brush from Petco. I had already ordered another well rated traditional slicker from Chewy but I found myself near Petco and decided to take a look. They said if I...

@jedi4christ Oh, no. It’s nothing like that bad! She definitely doesn’t need to be shaved. She’s pretty much mat free. I just find them periodically (one every few days) and have been working them out with the comb when I do find them. I was just wondering if the long tooth undercoat rake would...

@livelifeliving33 Oh, that’s great to know. Thanks. I’ll definitely be looking on YT to learn more but it really helps me to know what to expect and what to look for learning. I really appreciate you sharing!

@dreamylala I’ll definitely check that out on YT. Thanks for the suggestion. I know more what to look for now. :)

Hello! We have two full size doodles - a 70lb labradoodle and a 40lb border doodle (still a pup). My labradoodle is a 1st gen (50/50) low/no shed w/ soft hair that rarely mats. However, my border doodle (BD) is an F2B w/ curly hair and a sort of undercoat from the border collie side. She has...
