| The BEST Quiet Clippers? Your Favorites? I am looking into clipping Max myself. What clippers do you like best? Are they quiet? What size comb do you use? Comb or blade?

My 2nd choice would be an Oster Turbo A5 Single Speed Clipper. Super Quiet and Cooler, a work horse.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I have the Oster Powermax, it is quiet and little less expensive than the Geib. Also, for most one or two owner yorkies, if that is all you're grooming it works just fine. Mine came with a #10 and #40 blade, then I bought the 6 pak of different combs from Petedge.

| I have an Oster A5, and just had to have it repaired. The person that repaired it said that when the time comes to buy a new pair, to get Andis because they have less moving parts and that means they are quieter, and easier/cheaper to fix if there is a problem. I think he also said they are lighter, which is a plus also. I use a #10, #5F, and #3F. (I usually only use the #10 on the Yorkies, the others I use for my Poodles).

| Thanks for that info! I think I am going to have to replace my clippers, they are still not working right after they have been repaired. |

| Cordless Clippers Quote:
BTW I love my Peanut for trimming (you recommended them to me a couple of years ago) and was not sure I even needed to go with a set of clippers. But the cordless idea has me very interested.

I've used my Peanut with the comb attachments on puppies, but as they get older the larger clippers work faster and better. And since I groom, using the Peanuts for actual clipping really puts a wear on them and they need to be replaced to often.

| Thanks again for your input, Mardelin. If I ever find my way to CA, I will have to look you up and buy you a cup of coffee. That would be small repayment, maybe a steak dinner or something, then.

| I have the Andis 2 speed and I just love it. The first one I had what Oster and it seemed to get hot really fast, and the thing was always dull.
