We tested these clippers on two Shitzus and clipped twice, 5 weeks apart. They guided through any and all knots with ease, causing no pulling or discomfort for either of our pooch’s! Unrivaled value for money pet clippers The only negative thing I have to say about these clippers is that the instructions are not very clear - we did struggle for a while trying to figure out how to change the blades - but once you have that sorted, the process is very simple.

This range of choice can make deciding on a clipper confusing though. To help you make an informed decision, I’ve put together a list of the best Andis dog grooming clippers along with a mini review of each. Used by dog groomers the world over due to their power, ease of use and their range of features. These are classed as professional quality and as such they have a higher price tag. However, this price tag is justified and perfect for a professional groomer. Andis 2 speed clippers You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: This heavy-duty focus has downsides though. Andis clippers aren’t the slimmest, although they are rarely heavy and are usually comfortable to hold. Some people prefer the freedom of cordless models, for which Wahl and Oster are better options, although this comes at the expense of limited run-time.We cater for all clipper sharpening needs and servicing repairs to your clippers and blades in our well equipped workshop.

Like all SMC and AGC models, the clipper comes with a single 10 blade. You’ll probably want to buy extra blades or a stainless steel comb kit so you can vary length though. It’s compatible with UltraEdge, CeramicEdge and ShowEdge blades so you’ll have plenty of choice – and it can even fit Oster A5 blades.RBC – The RBC range is Andis’ primary cordless series with adjustable blades. The clippers are capable of handling any coat and last around two hours before needing to be recharged. They aren’t as durable as the AGC or SMC ranges, so probably aren’t suitable for professional groomers, but are useful for the occasional home groom. They’re also very quiet pair of clippers. Meaning that even nervous dogs shouldn’t get too rattled or alarmed. You can also buy used or second-hand Andis clippers. Make sure these are still in good condition when you buy though – particularly if they’ve been heavily used by a professional groomer. If comfort is very important (as it should be), you’ll be happy to know that they’re incredibly comfortable to hold and not at all slippery and as mentioned above. SMC – The SMC is a step up from the MBG2 and RACD ranges. This series contains super heavy-duty clippers that are suitable for clipping any coat or breed. The models also come with a detachable CeramicEdge blade.

Like all Andis clippers the AGC 2-Speed takes A5 snap on blades making these easy to change and replace, if need be. The two speed settings give you control over the power running through the clipper and can make it easier to clip nervous animals without causing them any additional much stress. Unless you’re buying a clipper with an adjustable blade, most Andis clippers come with either UltraEdge or CeramicEdge detachable blades. The included blade is usually a 10, so you’ll probably want to buy different length blades and guards depending on the cut. Andis sells a huge range of blade lengths and attachment comb sets, so you won’t have trouble finding one with the right length. Andis is one of the best brands for dog clippers. They produce a wide range of machines that are suitable for almost any purpose or budget, so the company’s popularity isn’t surprising. Fortunately, the company’s clippers are divided into categories depending on their strength and purpose. Here’s an overview of the main categories:

I was pleased to find that this product comes with a rather generous quantity of clipper oil. The oil really does seem to make a definite difference, so make sure to keep putting it on the blade before and during clipping. The first thing to note about the AGC Super is that it’s a professional-standard clipper. The powerful rotary motor can cut through the hair of any breed or coat (with the right blade), while the dual speed feature provides great versatility. Whether you’re grooming a poodle, Golden Retriever or any other breed, this model can handle it. These clippers benefit all dog breeds and always work well on any coat. They’re great for both small and for larger dogs where grooming is vital and more frequently required. Andis also produces EGT UltraEdge blades. EGT stands for “electro-glide” and means the blades are coated for a faster cut. Andis claims EGT blades provide a smoother finish.

These are a set of incredibly durable, well made and a high quality dog grooming clipper. The exterior housing of the clippers are break resistant. They’re heavier than other models but not too heavy to cause your hand to ache. Heavy enough, just to let you know you’re handling clipper quality. And it feels great in-hand. That’s a HUGE saving you’d be making by purchasing a set of these dog grooming clippers as opposed to visiting a dog groomer once per month.Like the other models on this list, the Andis Excel is powered by a rotary motor. This provides powerful cutting performance that can handle any coat or breed. It’s also relatively lightweight and has a durable exterior.
