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.
Jenny, you are terrific! Thanks for coming and giving your input. The advice about the combs was much needed - I am glad to know about them. And I'm very interested now to read about the running hot and being loud - more things I hadn't even thought about.

I'm off to read the links you posted right now.

Give those beautiful babies of yours hugs for me, and extra kisses for my Momo-man!
