OsterA6 Cool Comfort Heavy Duty Pet Grooming Clippers with Detachable CryogenX #10 Blade, 3 Speed, Aqua Sky (078006-000-000),Black,1.75 x 1.88 x 6.90 inches

i have a miniature poodle mix with very sheep-like hair. i tried few clippers and they usually were pulling his hair. THOSE clippers cut awesome. i only have the blade it came with and it does a great job. it does warm up quickly though on full speed. it doesn't bother me because i only do two areas of a body a day. he was abused before i adopted him and this is a huge deal for him to tolerate clippers. i like the easiness of holding the clippers and 3 speed choices. i maybe will have enough money to get more blades in a future so it would save me time on finishing his paws and face by scissors. i only did cut his hair on his belly and back and his behind, and upper part of legs. this clippers did great job with those parts and #10 blades. i am not a groomer. and for the first time i used it on his body (i do not count the tries of unsuccessful grooming with other brands). i would recommend this clippers. I think having more accessories would be more helpful, but with #10 blades you can do most of the job and just finish with scissors, depending on your budget. It was super easy to use by me.

Our border collie has hair like cotton candy. We have tried several clippers, and these work. It took a while, and she did not look pretty the first few times, but now that we have it under control she looks great in about 15 minutes. At 65.00 a pop at the groomers, they have already paid for themselves.

Bought this A6 Cool Comfort as a replacement for my +25y A5 which recently suffered an accident. I groom my 2 American Cocker Spaniels at home and have for many years now. First off, I ordered the "aqua sky" color and received the yellow-ish orange color. Annoying, but the color doesn't impact performance.I open the box and am dismayed to see that the power cord is in two pieces - a longer cord with a power adapter at the end and the clipper on the other and the wall outlet plug on a short cord. I can see this possibly being an issue falling apart after frequent use. I plug it in and grab my trusty 7F blade, which sounds *completely* awful once I switch the clipper on. I try the 10 cryo blade that came with the clipper and it's much smoother and quieter.After only 20 minutes, my dog starts pulling away and cringing when i touch her neck. I test the blade on my arm and was pretty shocked at how hot it was, even after such a short time! (For reference, my old A5 would run for over 45 minutes without needing to be cooled at all). I grabbed the Kool Lube and sprayed it down. After 3 cycles of this (Fast/Med/Slow didn't matter), I switched to scissors to give the thing a longer chance to cool down. 30 min later, I had my other dog up and after 5 minutes, the front cover cracked and fell off like others have reported. I rigged up a way to hold the cover on long enough to finish what I absolutely had to.These "lightweight" clippers usually rely on smaller motors (which is where the weight is) so that smaller motor just has to work harder which = more heat. You can also see from the design that there are no air vents in the sides of the handle to allow for air flow, so all of the heat generated by the motor just gets trapped which weakens the plastic cover. The combo of more heat with nowhere for it to go means that the metal components heat the plastic and make it break faster. This clipper is a piece of garbage!Lastly, I called Oster directly because I assumed they value customer loyalty and want to do what they can to make things right. I was given the option of either paying out of pocket to ship them something that broke the first time I used it so a technician could repair it (how do they plan to repair something that is just badly designed??) or returning it to Amazon. So it's being returned and I'm going to spend the money getting my old A5 repaired. Learn from my mistake - don't waste your money.

Love these clippers! I work as a hairstylist at a busy mens salon and I use these on almost every client in my chair. They are great for taking off bulks of hair as they are originally for animal grooming. They are a lot quieter and more gentle than the oster 76 clippers which I used for a long time, but the 76's wore a lot quicker and I had to go through three of them because I had a lot of issues( not to mention really loud so I could barely hear my clients!) .These clippers I've been using for almost two years and they are great! They are also a lot lighter to hold which makes a difference when cutting hair all day and doing fades, etc. the clippers come with three different speed options for cutting different textures of hair which is awesome! Most of the time I keep the speed on low but the high speeds are great for cutting some thick and coarse hair! Personally I like to use several different clippers for cutting hair but these always have been my go to clipper ( if I need to go back and fix a spot or see any lines or marks) . Just be sure to take care of them , clean the hair out and oil or grease them regularly and they work like a charm.
