I'm surprised at all the reviews that say this clipper doesn't get hot. So far, I've only used it to shave my poodle's face and feet, and it got very hot. The whole barrel got hotter than the less fancy ones at the grooming salon. The blade got very hot and I was glad I bought a can of cool 'n lube spray.
#10 blade performed well around feet but I'm going to get a size 7/8 blade for feet and face for easier detail work.

After using these a couple of times on my long thick haired dog I am very pleased with the way they cut. I have tried cheaper sets purchased from pet stores but they would barely cut her hair. I would definitely recommend these.

These are expensive, but worth it. I bought a $80 Andis model at Petsmart and they lasted six months. I have had these for almost a year, and with 3 dogs, and cat, they are great. Only downside is that they're too big for little faces ( I have 2 shih-tuz and one Lhasa ). I have purchased a set of Oster mini-max for faces, and just use scissors. Haven't tried clipper guards or diff. size blades, but the clippers paid for themselves the first usage. At $50 per dog, per groom, a $150 set doesn't seem so outrageous. Don't bother buying anything cheaper if you groom your dog on a regular basis and are trying to save money on a professional groomer. You'll end up buying a new set of clippers every year.

This is a really good set of clippers. I have a poodle mix with hair that you'd expect to see on a sheep! These clippers don't clog up and they are quiet too! A good investment if you have a dog that needs clipping.

I bought these clippers after using cheaper (~50$) Andis and Oster models for about 2 years. These are far superior - they cut easy and smooth, they do not wear out, and you can actually shrpen their blades at your local pet store.
Only one drawback - Plastic adapter kit with different length adapters do not work. I bought original Oster adapter kit, for this cutter and it is impossible to cut the dog's hair with adapter kit. But it is not the clippers fault.
Just buy 3 different length blades. they are easy to change. I bought 2 different length blades as my dos needs only 1/16 and 1/2. Also these clippers are soo nice in cutting hair - I almost do not use scissors anymore. Even fine trimming I do with the clippers.
disclaimer - I am cutting my own dog, and do not participating in a dog show - I do not use them for comemrcial purposes..
