Customer Reviews of Andis 01557 Improved Master Professional Clipper

Customer Review: Excellent for clipping cats and dogs
Summary: 5 Stars

I've tried Conair, Oster, Wahl, and other brands available in the U.S. Disliked all for one reason for another with respect to cats/dogs.

All did a decent job of actually shaving, but have one or more flaws IMO:
- too noisy (even if a dog or cat is great about it, why add to their stress, KWIM)
- the blade gets too hot, which means one has to use some funky "cooling" spray/oil containing heaven knows what ingredients vomit
- unit itself gets too hot to hold comfortably in hand
- blade gets dull too quickly (often blade costs almost as much as the cheapo new unit!)

This Andis clipper has turned out to be fantastic. It has none of the issues I mentioned above

What I love about it:
* unit is very solid yet not too heavy
* very quiet motor
* blade cuts through even thick Persian fur like butter
* blade never ever gets hot, and I mean even after 45-50 mins of continuous use, so don't need to use any cooling oil
* unit starts to feel a bit warm after 30 or so mins, but not hot and not to the point where I can't hold it and work w it

The only sorta negative I'd say is that to clean the unit, I have to unscrew the blade using a Phillips head and remove the little bits of fur that get wedged under the blade. But this is true for other brands as well, so I don't know any way around it.

Related to this issue though, is that there is an adjustment button for which one needs a flat-head screwdriver to turn. This is good and bad. Good b/c one can get it to where there is almost 0 sound to the motor i.e. very quiet, doesn't freak out dogs and even cats. Bad that you need to have the 2nd screwdriver handy and after you screw the blade back in, have to adjust the speed/sound. Not a biggie, and worth the positives at least IMO.

I've had mine for 3 yrs or so, and no signs of any problems at all. I haven't had to replace the blade either, so I expect to use it for yrs.

Mine gets a lotta use b/c not only do I clip my Persian rescue every 2.5 to 3 wks or so, I also groom a friend's Maine Coon about once a mo. And 4 dogs (one is a Shih Tzu) every 3-4 wks all yr long. So the clipper gets a fair amt of use, and still humming along nicely.
