Product Reviews of Andis 23585 Super Deluxe Pet Clipper Kit with DVD
Product Review: Don't buy unless you have a poodle, and maybe not even then
Summary: 1 Stars
These clippers are basically junk. I bought them to trim a spot on my cat and all they did was comb through, cutting only a hair or two. So I tried it on a spot on my dog's leg. Same thing. Both animals have medium length, medium thick straight hair. I called the company, Andis, and talked to a customer service rep and was told that these clippers only work on wire or curly haired dogs and that I would need to upgrade to another clipper that cost three times the price. The picture on the package is of a collie type dog, with long thick staight hair. Completely falsely advertised. She did give me the option of returning them to the store and trying another of the same, or she said I could pay to ship the return to the company for an exchange. Like I want to spend more money on something that doesn't work. The customer service rep also told me that this particular clipper is manufactured for them in China and the expensive clippers she wanted me to buy, and are apparently the only ones they stand behind, are manufactured in Wisconsin. Why put their brand name on something that is obviously substandard and misrepresented? Even if I do upgrade to an expensive clipper, it won't be with this company.Product Review: Good for Price

I purchased this clipper set a few years ago after I got fed up paying almost $100 every time I had to take my dog to the groomers. I have a Newfoundland... so obvious that the charge is high considering they are a larger breed and tend to have very long and somewhat coarse hair. I would have the groomer do a simple lab length shave on her during the summer months as she'd get too hot. We have since moved to Arizona, so have to do the grooming much more frequently to keep her cool. The clippers did pretty well on handling her coat, and I found it worked best when I trimmed it down somewhat without any of the attachments and then went back with the desired length guard for a more even clipping. After using it 4 or 5 times the blades are completely shot and will not trim anything... not even a whisker. The blade does come off, but I haven't tried to replace it yet. I'm debating on buying more blades, or just buying a better set of clippers... as these do tend to get hot after I'm been using them for an hour or two. But for the price they saved me money and did the job!Product Review: Good for some dogs

I imagine this clipper is good for many dogs-wirehairs or others. But our fine-coated English Setters proved too much of a challenge for it. It would bind very quickly on a just washed and dried dog. Seems the teeth are too far apart and the fur bunches up quickly. I had to return to the $20.00 Oster I got from K-mart, which did a better job on their thick and fine textured fur.Product Review: Great value and quality. Wish I had found this sooner.

A really nice kit. Great quality, and a great value. I have purchased several of the home kits over the years, and this is the first one I have liked after using it. It has plenty of power, and cuts very well. On matted hair, you'll of course have to use the scissors first, but then the clippers work fine. The assortment of guards is great. A really great value. Good feel to it while cutting, easy control. A really nice item.Product Review: Nice Clipper for the Right Jobs

I really like this clipper. I clip both our Scottie and our Standard Poodle at our home. The clipper works very well on the Scottie with no pre-clipping and great for the finish clip on the Poodle. I pre-clip the poodle with an Oster A-5 loaded with a rough-cut blade. I do not think this Andis clipper would hold up for primary use on a large dense coat. However, most clippers or their blades would struggle without a rough-cut on a heavy coat. I really like the numerous blade attachments and the clipper runs very quiet and free of vibration. It will heat with extended use, but not as quickly as some.
