They look like pretty good prices so I'm considering one of the sets. Which one do you think would work best on our yorkies? And is Andis a good brand of clippers? I'm familiar with Oster but I've never used an Andis.

This one? Andis Pro Animal Home Clipper Kit - Electric Clippers

Or this one (which also comes in pink)? BLUE - Andis Easy Clip Grooming Kit - F.O.S.

I think this is the purple one? There's only 1 review: Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Andis 20910 7-Piece Pro Animal Clipper Kit

I think the blue one is the same as pink, some say it runs very hot & it's very loud: Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Andis 60105 12-Piece Easy Clip Grooming Kit

Andis is a very nice quality clipper. I have these & it's very quiet, the 2nd one is a bit heavier: Andis AGC Super 2-Speed Dog Clipper | PetEdge.com

If you're serious about grooming @ home, I suggest investing in good clippers which you can purchase detachable blades according to your needs. Comb attachments are ok, the cut doesn't come out smooth, but if you want a longer length w/out cutting them short, it will do. Just fyi, the coat has to be tangle free in order for the comb to run through the coat...& the plus of using the comb is that you can start w/longer combs & work your way shorter.

7F is great for thicker cottony fur babies & for very hot/humid areas. For thinner silky haired fur babies, 5F would be ideal. 4F is good if you don't want them to look 'shaved' or 'bald' lollll. 10 comes w/the clippers & is used for trimming the private areas & mats that are to the skin.
