Not sure if you groom professionally. I continuously cool lube, clean, and have my blades sharpened regularly....I look for a model that is more durable, one that stands up to abuse, since I've been known to drop things. I still even use an old Oster that my mentor gave to me; about 30 years old. Yes, they're heavier, but their casing, motors, and internal mechanisims stand up to the test of time and use.
