Pet Grooming Clippers

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:43:42 +0000

There are a large variety of Pet Grooming Clippers for sale online and if this is your first time to shop for an electric hair trimmer to groom your pet then you might not have a clue where to start. We are not advocating any one brand of pet grooming tools but instead would like to review a few of the more well known and reputable brands of pet hair clipper tools. That way you can decide for yourself which are the best hair clippers.

It’s a great option to consider clipping your own pets rather than taking them to a professional groomer. Of course once in a while it would be nice to have your dog or cat groomed professionally because groomers really do a good job but you will find yourself saving so much more money being able to do it yourself.

When you think that one grooming session can cost up to $80 whereas a good pair of professional pet clippers could cost you double that and you are able to use them over and over again.

Before introducing you to the various hair clipping tools it’s important to first think about what it is you might prefer and what type of pet you want to clip,taking size and the type of hair you are going to be cutting.

Are you going to be using your clippers for both a cat and a dog? You might be surprised to learn that there are some clippers which can be used for both. If this is the case, you should look out for a set of pet clippers with a variety of blades to choose from for cutting both fine and course hair.

You also will need a variety of blades if you plan to clip more than one type of dog. Long hair and short haired dogs present as different cases. Many of the pet cutting clippers that are for sale online do not include the full set of blades so always be aware of that.

This is quite usual but it’s just to warn you so that you are not surprised when you open the package only to find one standard blade. In the Andis Dog Clippers range the Andis Clipper Blades sell for about $20 a blade. Oster dog clippers and Oster Clipper blades sell for a very similar price.

If you plan to get into the real nitty gritty of pet grooming care then you will probably going to want to trim the air around the ears, face and tail area. A larger pair of clippers won’t do this as well as the smaller pocket sizes hair trimmers that are usually cordless and battery operated.

Do you want a cordless hair trimmer so that you don’t have the trouble of getting an electric cord tangled between you and your dog or cat or would you prefer electric hair clippers? Cordless hair clippers run on small AA batteries. They run for about 30 minutes only and it’s often noted that they are not as powerful as the electric hair clippers.

Are you looking for professional pet hair clippers or don’t you mind and would like anything that is low cost but still value for money?

When reading through reviews online it seems that most customers recommend paying that bit extra for a good quality set of pet grooming clippers. That way, you can hardly go wrong and will get much longer term use out of them. Professional hair clippers can run for as long as 100 hours without having to oil them. This is what you would call a low maintenance pet hair clipper and it’s something you should consider if you are going to be regularly clipping your pets hair.

Dog hair clippers feature a clip-on blade that runs on either a single or 2-speed motor. The difference is in the number of cutting strokes per minute. A single stroke machine will usually cut at up to 3000 strokes per minute and are pretty quiet in comparison to the later.

The 2-speed hair trimmer cuts at 3500 strokes per minute so can cut more hair but is louder because of the extra power. The 2-speed tends to overheat quicker than a single speed motor but some models are built to keep cool otherwise have coolant available to help cool the blades.

In terms of pricing, the professional hair clipper is not cheap. For example the Oster a5 Clipper sells for about $120 and some models go for up to $200.

Now that you you are thinking more specifically about pet grooming clippers we can get down to reviewing the well known pet hair clippers in the industry.

Andis Dog Clippers

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:36:05 +0000

Andis Dog Clippers are a well known and reputable brand in the pet grooming clippers niche. The Andis Company manufactures a complete line of high quality pet hair trimmers for pet grooming for both small and large animals. You will be able to find just about any kind of pet clipper whether you have a big or small pet to groom. Additionally Andis provides a 1 year limited warranty on all their clippers.

When you are clipping your dog, it’s best to choose grooming clippers that operate quietly, especially if you are trimming your pet’s hair for the first time or if you have a very timid dog. However this is not always the case as you will find out further into this article.

Another thing to consider is whether you want Andis cordless clippers or an Andis electric hair trimmer. Keep in mind that if you are going to be trimming your dog outside then you will need to have a long cord or an extension cord.

Right lets get down to business.

We chose the best andis pet clippers based on reviews that we have read online after hours of research. You of course can do that too but hopefully we will save you a lot of time having done the dirty work for you. Our main resource of reviews came from Amazon where Andis hair clippers are much sought after. Obviously the product with the most stars for each review came out tops in our eyes so below are the results that we have gathered.

The First and most popular Andis pet clipper and which seems to be the best hair trimmer is the Andis 2 Speed Dog Clipper Model AGC 2.

Andis 2 Speed Dog Clipper

This has a 2 speed motor and runs at 4400 strokes per minute when on the high setting and 3400 strokes per minute on the low setting.

What customers liked about this was that although it is powerful and a 2 speed dog clipper, it does not get too hot to hold after clipping. Also it is a maintenance free dog hair clipper because there is no need to oil the internal parts. You only get one blade with the initial cost of $135 but customers who reviewed this product did say that as much as they liked this dog hair trimmer they did not like Andis clipper blades and preferred to use Oster clipper blades instead.

The next most popular was the Andis UltraEdge AGC Super 2-Speed Animal Clipper which sells for $10 cheaper.

Andis UltraEdge AGC Super 2-Speed

This tool is super speed and cuts at 4400 strokes per minute. This is where the problem for many customers comes in. The machine tends to get really hot and you have to stop often and spray on the cooling fluid that Andis produces. If you have a big dog it’s recommended that you get 2 blades so when one gets too hot you can remove it and replace it with the another blade. I should imagine that this would be too much of a hassle for most people.

The third most popular is the Andis 21420 Pro-Animal 7 Piece Clipper Set. This is the only Andis single speed motor which had lots of positive comments.

Andis 21420 Pro-Animal 7 Piece Clipper Set

The one thing is that the machine cuts slower than a 2 speed motor but that is understandable since it is a smaller sized machine. Don’t be fooled by the 7 piece clipper set advertising. This does not mean that there are extra blades. Once again this pet clipper comes with just one andis clipper blade size 10 for medium length cuts.

Of course there are a whole lot more Andis Dog Clippers for sale but these 3 are what stood out from the bunch. Other pet grooming clippers on the market include Oster Dog Clippers and Wahl Dog clippers and you can read more information on those brands right here on this site.

Click on the links at the top of this site to go to the specific manufacturer that you are looking for.

Also be aware that Andis clipper blades are usually purchased separately unless the pet grooming kit specifically says that it comes with blades. Each andis clipper blade sells for at least $20 a blade.

Oster Dog Clippers

Oster Dog Clippers are yet another well know brand in the pet grooming clippers industry and are known to be tough and durable.

But, how does one know which dog clipper is the best hair trimmer and who do you trust at the end of the day?

Reading customer reviews is one of the ways you can get a clear indication of what is hot and what’s not and that is how we have got the information on the dog grooming kits for this website.

Below you will see the top 3 most popular Oster dog grooming clippers that are currently for sale. The reviews are based on what customers who bought the products really had to say about them.

The best hair trimmer in the Oster pet clippers range is the Oster a5 Clipper 78005-010 and got the most 5 stars out of any products we reviewed over at Amazon.

Oster Golden A5 Clippers Single Speed

They are single speed clippers which are ideal for pet grooming and the motor runs at 2100 strokes per minute. They sell for about $115 which is slightly cheaper than the number 2 rated Oster trimmer

These oster golden a5 clippers will run forever if you take care to look after your product. Unlike the Andis dog clippers the Oster clipper blades need to be oiled before you use them each and every time. Also you should not be cutting pets that have wet hair since this will make the blades blunt. This single speed machine is also far less noisier and great for pets that are scared of the clippers engine sound.

Oster clipper blades have to be purchased separately and oster is compatible with Elite Cryogen-X blades. A storage case comes with this model too.

Next on the list is yet another Oster A5 Clipper but this time it’s the Oster Golden a5 2-Speed Clipper. This model sells for nearly $130. It runs at 3000 strokes per minute.

Oster A5 Golden Clippers 2 Speed

The highlight of this product is that it is powerful and therefore cuts hair faster since it does have a 2-speed motor. However it is not as heavy as similar models which have the same motor strength and is incredibly tough. For some customers who have dropped their pet clippers, Oster A5’s don’t break! So buy Oster if it is durable that you are looking for.

The last Oster Pet Clipper model on review are the Oster Turbo A5 Clippers.

Oster Turbo A5 Clippers

These are also Professional pet grooming clippers.

The Turbo a5 clippers has a motor that functions at 4000 strokes per minute so is the most powerful of all the 3 models under review. This means that you can cut your pets far quicker than you would with any of the other models.

However this also means that blades can get incredibly hot so if you are going to be trimming more than one pet then it might present as a problem. The machine itself does not get hot but the blades do. You might need to consider purchasing extra oster dog clipper blades to use interchangeably.

All in all Oster Dog Clippers are an excellent brand when it comes to dog grooming. You should be prepared to pay that little bit extra because of the good quality that they are.
