OsterA5 Hair Clippers for Dog, Cat, and Pet Grooming with 2 Speed Settings and Detachable Blade, Blue, 6.00 x 10.50 x 3.00 Inch

I have a cute Golden Doodle, "Nessie", who is very prone to bad matting, especially behind her ears, but generally she gets matted all over. We like to let her hair grow long because it looks so cute, but the matts get worse as it gets longer.Previously I'd been using a basic set of Wahl clippers which simply couldn't keep up. They would literally cut a quarter inch and then jam up. It took me over 4 hours to cut Nessie!In desperation I finally decided to splash out and go for these Oster clippers after reading good reviews. I can honestly say these clippers are AMAZING. They glide through Nessie's matts like butter. Almost as if they weren't there at all. I've had them for several months now, and given her three cuts. Each time, same result. Effortless cutting. They are definitely on the expensive side, but WORTH EVERY PENNY in my opinion.Pros:Amazing at cutting through matts.Overall very easy to use.Quiet motor.Comes with spare lubricating oil and motor grease.Long cord, so I no longer needed to use an extension cord.Cons:On the expensive side.Quite heavy and chunky, but not excessively so.Seem to get quite hot, but not so hot that it bothers my dog.Final Thoughts:I can cut my dogs hair in 1 hour now! Thats 4 times faster than when I used my old Wahl clippers. I wish I'd bought these clippers sooner. They do what they are supposed to do, and they do it very very well. Buy them, you won't regret it.

I NEVER review items I purchase. I felt the need to review these clippers. I run a small ranch. We have horses, dogs, and breed dairy goats. I needed an all purpose clipper that would work on all my animals. Shipping was FAST and I got them next day (as I specified). I tore open the box, and admired my pretty BLUE clippers. Being it was too dark to clip my livestock, I eyed my hairy, matted Wire Haired Fox Terrier. Much to her dismay (and my delight!) She was the first guinea pig for my new Osters. After many promises of cheese and cookies I wrangled her and started clipping!! Holy HAIR!! Cut her hair smooth and FAST!! The whole job done in about 15-20 minutes (we're talking farm dog special. NOT show pen grooming) there was no hair pulled (as has happened with previous models) and didn't nick her once! She feels and smells SO MUCH better!! I have used many brands. These are FAR superior! The price is decent (TSC wanted more for a lower quality clipper) . They do get hot, but I find taking a rest and using KOOL LUBE helps a bunch. If these handled her rough, coarse, matted coat this well, my horses and goats will be cake!! They come with a #10 blade, so if you want guards or different blades, they have to be bought separate. A simple cut on my terrier runs $50-$60, in two haircuts these will have paid for themselves. They are loud, but having two speeds is awesome!! They are heavy and a tiny bit clunky, but as I said before, I'm doing functional, not pretty haircuts. I will only use Oster clippers from now on!! BEST PURCHASE EVER!

Purchased this to use on my persian cat.First time using it, my cat was really matted and fur was very long. This was excellent at cutting through her mats! It worked like a knife through soft butter. I was really impressed with how easy it was to use and how efficiently it cut. It does get hot super fast so you do need cooling spray and/or an extra clipper to use while this one cools down. I had a small chi I used while this cooled. It also is louder than I expected, other reviewers said it was super quiet but I found it to be louder than other clippers I have used. I did use the slower setting also, because the faster setting scared my cat too much. I did not use clipper guards, as I really needed to get to her skin, and it REALLY got to her skin. I knicked her a few times. So if you are not going to use guards, be very careful.The second time I used it my cat's hair wasn't as long or matted, but I wanted to keep her at about an inch. So I purchased the guards and used them with it. The guards made it a lot more difficult, the hair kept getting clogged after less than a minute and I had to clean and brush it out. It took forever, even longer than the first time. It was good because I never got too close to her skin, and her look afterwards was very nice, but it was a pain and doubled the amount of time.I have used several different clippers on my cat, and despite this one getting hot quickly and being loud, it really is the best I have used.

It seems like the A5 has been around since the 90's, and similar Oster models much longer. It is a simple design, easy to maintain, and functions reliably. Replacement parts are readily available. I am not a professional, but do no see the need to spend $100+ for a different brand.I had a minor issue registering these clippers on the website. This is a common issue among many companies, with broken links or incompatible browsers. An email to Oster support was all it took. Their reply was quick an painless.Its great to support an American company that has a superior product, great service AND a fair price.

After purchasing many others we finally found a winner. Did a great job on our puppers!

Las cuchillas se acaban muy rápido pero la máquina es muy buena

Excelente durabilidad

Cuts way better and faster then the $50 kit I purchased the last two times. Two cuts on dog so far and that means this is half paid for already. I need to shave my golden down to half inch during the summer due to a skin condition and too much lake time. I am able to keep it up over the summer now and not let her grow out between cuts. Worth the extra price when you consider ease of use and cost savings over professional cuts.

Apenas lo estamos probando, se calienta un poco despues de algunos minutosSupongo que esta bien y en breve esperamos dar mas comentarios
