I have a bunch of clippers (I LOVE grooming tools!!!)...as a porfessional groomer I absolutely love my Andis Super AGC 2 Speeds, they are literally my littler work horses and have survived many a fal and break and are eay to repair.
I also have the Andis Power groom which are lighter but for supremely matted coats I usually turn to the Super AGC 2 Speed. I also got annoyed because the battery pack and cord pack don't like to stay put, it falls out too easily. So that turned me off.
My other groomer swears by her Ultra Edge 2 Speed by Andis (which has the same product specs as the Andis Super AGC 2 Speed).
I have a few Golden 2 Speed Osters and dislike them and never use them and they are our 'emergency incase everything else breaks on us' clippers.
My new 'baby' is my Laube Ivac....I got them for around $450 and I am so deeply in love with them and really wondered how I groomed with them before, but you need a shop vac with them and it is a whole new learning curve using that baby...but it bites for mats.
But on yorkie coats anything longer then a #4f...with Geib metal combs it looks SOOOO good!!
As for blades, don't cheap out. I love Butterbut blades by Geib, so worth the money!!
