Product Reviews of Andis 21420 Pro-Animal Detachable Ceramic Blade Clipper Kit
Product Review: Andis dog clippers
Summary: 5 Stars
Great clippers. They are easy to use, quiet, and do not get too hot in your hand.Product Review: BEST bang for the Buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried using a cheapy from Wal-mart, somewhere around $20-30. Man, this Clipper is uncomparable to the worthless cheapys. I have a toy poodle, and the hair gets matted pretty bad. However, this clipper does an incredible job without excessive noise/vibration. It's very simple, without countless # of useless attachments or accessories. The barebone product is exactly what you need if you need a effective, efficient product especially at a decent price. Highly Recommended and you wont be disappointed. Hands Down.Product Review: Best of FIVE we tried - the only one that worked on our Himalayan

This review was originally for the Andis MGB2 clipper body mated to the stainless "ultra edge 10" blade. For whatever reason, here at Amazon this combination is available in a multiplicity of model numbers based on included accessories and also many different vendors. The vendor for this review appears to have linked it to a slightly different clipper which appears to have the same body but a ceramic blade. The Ceramic blade should in theory stay sharper longer than a stainless blade but I can't speak to it's performance on fine hair as I haven't tried it.
Original review below:
Animals vary greatly in temperment so if you can borrow a friends clipper to try on your animal first I recommend it before making the investment. We have two cats so this clipper more or less paid for itself the first year in use.
We tried my sister's animal clipper the first year. The second year we tried two from Target and one from Petsmart. Finally bit the bullet and got this one from Petsmart. Pricier than the first we bought from them but worth it. (They were kind enough to let us return the first one)
In hindsight, if we had the option of buying the clipper only we would have as we don't need all the combs, and if you don't need the extras you can get the clipper by itself for a lot less. The black plastic molded case ours came with is very convenient, however.
Be careful when buying this clipper - the actual model of the clipper is MBG2 and it comes with a #10 blade. THERE ARE TWO ANDIS "PET PRO" CLIPPERS and the other one (The body is shorter, without the swoopy curve on the handle) doesn't get very good reviews.
Himalayan cats are like Persians and have massive amounts of extremely fine hair. The other clippers we tried bogged down immediately and got very hot. This blazes through and is also quieter and cooler than the other ones which is good since our Siamese is jumpy.
In terms of cat-trimming technique, we first trim all the nails (just in case) then sit on a chair on our deck, with a towel in our lap.
Cat in lap on towel, pet for a few minutes until they purr, then start clipping. It helps to keep some tension on their skin with the other hand. Imagine you are petting with your left hand to your left, and the clipper is in your right hand moving to your right.
My ratings: 1 star: Avoid! / 2 stars: Some merit but I can't recommend / 3 stars: Decent, nice / 4 stars: Recommended / 5 stars: Nearly perfect!

Product Review: Better than I expected

I was a professional dog groomer for many years and always used the high end Oster clippers. I needed something ASAP to groom my 3 Shih Tzu, did not have the money for the clippers I wanted (Oster A-5), so "settled" for the Andi's 21420. Was a little sluggish compared to the A-5, didn't exactly go through the hair like a knife through butter, but did a very adequate job! I guess the proof will be in how long they last as compared with the 12-15 years of my previous clippers.Product Review: Can't go wrong at the price and terms I paid
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this set for slightly less than half of what "Pet Depot" charges. Unless this is a counterfeit (which I seriously doubt) this is a fantastic deal! The FREE delivery was in-freekin'-credibally fast!
