Andis 65455 Excel Professional 5-Speed Detachable Blade Clipper Kit - Animal/Dog Grooming, Rotary Motor, Soft-Grip Anti-Slip Housing, 14-Inch Cord, for All Coats & Breeds, SMC, Burgundy

I’m a professional groomer and these are pretty great! I have moved on to a more expensive higher quality product but these are still my backup and I really like how small they are

I used to use my Andis 2 speed clipper and swore it was the best. However, after a few years of grooming I have had a lot of wrist fatigue. One of my colleagues recommended this clipper to me because it was lightweight. It is nearly as light as the bravura! This was a game-changer for me. My wrist hurts a lot less using this clipper I'm in love with it. My only genuine complaint is that the blades heat up supremely quick, so you need to change them often or use a LOT of clipper cool, even if you groom quickly. The other thing is that the cord on the bottom that is connected to the base of the clipper itself is wobbly; I looked at the store use ones that we have and they have the same "issue" so I'm sure I will have to eventually hot glue it down in permanent position. Until then, no worries! I don't know why some other reviewers received different colors than ordered, I received my pretty magenta clipper which has glitter in it, and the buttons are all in working order. Highly recommend! It has held up so far, and I groom typically 5 dogs a day 5 days a week. Go for it! Worth the extra cash compared to the Andis 2 speed. Save your wrists!

Gift: The 5 speed took no time. Fast & glides right over the dog. No knicks, no clogs, & no getting hot. My daughter had a highly rated, but less expensive one & it just did not work on her Doodles at all. After reading the reviews, I concluded that the 5 speed may work better, so I got it for her. The dogs had a million knots. The #10 blade cuts close, fast & perfect. Now she just needs to find a video explaining what blades she’ll need for more designer detailed grooming. Perfect. But 2nd time used did not work the same. Daughter spent tons of time trying to get it right again. She’s pretty handy but it won't cut like before. That was a lot of money for a one time cut. Maybe need videos on maintenance?

So far, I'm very happy with this purchase. I would've liked it to include a hard carry case and some of the attachments, but it didn't. I the bought attachments separately and put everything in a small cardboard box. I bought two other brands of clippers that just couldn't cut through my Goldendoodle's hair, before I bought this one. I'm not a professional, just a doggy mama looking to cut my babies' hair. Their hair is so thick and curly! I had a hard time finding any clippers that would actually cut through it! This one cuts so wonderfully, and easily. The blades do get HOT, so I did like the other reviewers said and bought a second one and switch them out, *Both blades are the CeramicEdge blade. And I love the quick detachable design for the blades, very nice. I don't know if I'd call these clippers quite, it makes a normal buzzing noise, as I think most clippers do. I was leary about spending this much money for a pair of clippers after reading some of the other reviews, but I'm glad I did. I figured if they worked right, spending this amount of money once would be a better investment of my money then to keep buying the cheaper ones over and over again. Worth it and recommend!

I have been a professional groomer for over 8 years, and I groom approximately 40 dogs a week at my business. These clippers are HORRIBLE! Andis used to be the best in the pro groomer world, and they are quickly becoming one of the worst. These clippers have a known issue with the power switch. Every single pair of clippers has this issue but they will not recall them. I returned my first pair thinking I got a dud, but they're all like this. Multiple groomers I work with have had the same issue, as well as hundreds of other groomers in online forums. Andis will fix the issue for you one time (yes the part and labor are free, but you have to pay for shipping even though the issue is their fault). After that you're on your own (and YES the part WILL continue to break repeatedly). It will start with the clippers turning off randomly, and will slowly progress to the clippers not turning on at all making them completely unusable. If you're only grooming your own pets: buy something cheaper. You don't need this much power for one or two dogs and they'll break anyway. If you're a professional groomer: buy literally any brand other than Andis lol.

The clippers are really good quality. I'm happy with the purchase. They do a very nice job. I was disappointed that there was not information on the ad regarding the need for additional products for cooling the blades. The information is in the literature packet however had i been aware, i could have purchased the necessary products and completed the grooming in a timely manner. I had to wait on cool down.

The only complaint is the buttons are not in an ergo friendly area. Otherwise I love these clippers. They are small, and I wear a ladies Small glove, so they are perfect for my hands. I also have arthritis, the weight doesn’t seem to be a problem. Make sure you trip the close areas first because like every other clipper I’ve ever used, they get hot fairly quick. No overheating. I don’t suggest washing the blades, I’ve read complaints of the steel staining. Just brush them well and use a blade cleaner. Oil them up, and store. Too bad they didn’t come in a case, expensive clippers to not have a case to protect the investment.

We have miniature horses that we body clip for horse shows, some years I do 60 body clips in run of the year. I used to have Double K clippers heavy duty motor with long cord...that EVERYONE uses for minis. But tired of fighting heavy cord hurt my wrist...SO tried one of these and SOLD my Double Ks. I also clip my cocker spaniel so there is plenty of haircuts here. They dont get too hot, LOVE LOVE the ceramic blade it came with can clip 3 horses with it at least before starts getting little dull. They are so Light to hold. Have 3 so keep 1 in house for dog, 2 for us in the barn to clip more than one horse at a time.

Super happy to find these on here been wanting them for work since they came out also glad to get the special edition with the fun design. I will say they were a little weird at first and shut off randomly the first day but i've had no trouble since.

Es hermosa 😍, un poco costosa pero vale la pena, funciona súper bien y tiene un cable muy grande (4.1m) soy veterinaria y espero me sirva muchos años.

Purchased this product after watching a few videos online how to properly groom a doodle. Used them a few days after they arrived and they work great. I purchased a 9 piece set of Andis comb attachments. Considering a full grooming is about $135 in my area (tax and tip in), this set will be paid for in no time.

Very light to Handel and I love the 5 speeds makes it easy to get through thick coats

Works great for a person who is a non groomer
