 Great Clippers, worth higher price. Mar 20, 2008
By Alekur
"AK"
I bought these clippers after using cheaper (~50$) Andis and Oster models for about 2 years. These are far superior - they cut easy and smooth, they do not wear out, and you can actually shrpen their blades at your local pet store.
Only one drawback - Plastic adapter kit with different length adapters do not work. I bought original Oster adapter kit, for this cutter and it is impossible to cut the dog's hair with adapter kit. But it is not the clippers fault.
Just buy 3 different length blades. they are easy to change. I bought 2 different length blades as my dos needs only 1/16 and 1/2. Also these clippers are soo nice in cutting hair - I almost do not use scissors anymore. Even fine trimming I do with the clippers.
disclaimer - I am cutting my own dog, and do not participating in a dog show - I do not use them for comemrcial purposes..

Great Clippers Oct 05, 2007
By Jane
I have purchased 6 different clippers over the last 8 years. This is my second set of Oster's and I will never buy anything else again. The first pair were broken by my parents and husband after 6 years of heavy use (including horses, dogs and a cat). The rest of the clippers were $50-$100, purchased from pet stores and most broke within the first few uses. These are the absolute best clippers ever. I have a long hair cat that needs clipping every 6 months and she hardly fought the clippers this time. Sharp, powerful, and remarkably quiet. Love them!

A Great Clipper Jun 15, 2007
By C. Foote
We got our Turbo A5 2-Speed Clipper 4 years ago, after having used cheaper ones, which did not last long, particularly with our last two very wooly cocker spaniels.
We are quite pleased with it and we highly recommend it.

Fantastic Jan 02, 2008
By C. Townsend
I own a shih-tsu and a persian/himalayan. I have tried three previous clipper sets ($30-80) and they were totally worthless. These clippers cut right through matting and knots and leave a nice smooth short-hair finish.

 Little warmer than expected Jun 16, 2009
By TinCupp
I was pretty disappointed for my latest OSTER experience. I have had plenty of good experiences with OSTER in the past and it was definitely time to be put my Wahl trimmer to rest.
This product produced excessive heat at both the head and body after only 10 minutes of extended use. My Australian Sheppard would whimper every time I came close to him with this shaver. I expected better performance with these CryogenX blades with AgION antimicrobial coatings.
My wife attempted to oil blades since the unit was new to attempt to help the situation. Little change observed with the oil.
I was disappointed with the owners manual as well. It offered little advice and the drawings were a bit crude to follow.
We decided to order a replacement unit from Amazon which is currently in route.
I will update this posting again when second unit arrives.
6/27/09 Update - Amazon return service was fantastic. New clipper arrived within 72 hours. No problem processing my return. I really like the fact that UPS came to my door to pickup.
Second clipper performs better but not optimal. Blade and top of body still get a little warmer than expected. Tolerable. I have an Australian Sheppard with a pretty thick coat. Trimmer muscles through with NO problems. Gave my dog his summer cut to enjoy this +100 degree heat in Texas in less than 30 minutes.
Plan to buy another blade with longer combs to make bulk cutting a bit faster for his main body.
Overall I would change my review score to THREE STARS.
