Re: [RC] Clippers - Linda Nichols

Title: Re: [RC]   Clippers
I agree with Lynette. I too am a pet groomer and although I have not used Laube clippers b4 I have observed others get really frustrated with them. I use Andis and I love them. I have body clipped my horse with the Andis AGR rechargeable clipper. One of the really nice things about Andis is you can throw them on the concrete, pick them up, and they keep on running. My horse flipped my clippers out of my hand. They flew over the fence and landed in a pile of dry cow poop. I picked them off and they kept on running. Oster clippers tend to shatter if you drop them and they have so many parts that need maintenance. Andis clippers have only 3 parts that need replacing every now and then and they are really easy to do. Buy the AG, AGC, or AGR series clippers.

As a pet groomer for many years and having used many different brands of
clippers, I am going to advise you to not waste your money and buy a
Laube. I bought one brand new, it broke down and quite in a week. So I
took it back and got another one. This one lasted just long enough to
get past warranty. Sent it in to get fixed, I was told by the repair guy
that they get a lot of Laube because they break down a lot. After I paid
$50 to get it repaired, it worked for another two weeks and quit again.
I sent for some parts and tried to fix it myself, ran maybe another
week. It is know in my drawer with an Oster that I bought and ran for a
while.

Andis is a company that stands behind its clippers and I have had good
luck with them. Most of the grommers that I know have either Oster or
Andis, both are good clippers that hold up well, but Andis stands up
behind their clippers better, smaller company then Oster.

If you really want a Laube, I will sell you one really cheap, hardly
used and just needs a little work. :-)

Hey for you guys who clip your horses for the winter season - trace clip

whatever - I know this seems SO stupid in light of...current
issues...but I need  
to know who makes the best clippers for body clips and such. I have a
site
for  Laube and they have two that look great and have gotten great
reviews but I
 cannot decide. Anyone know anything?
