TechGearLab bought six dog clippers for side-by-side testing and named this corded Andis its pick for the prosumer, saying it topped the group for overall quality and cut through every fur type it tried. It measured the clipper at 63.2 decibels. The same review calls it expensive, notes there is no blade height control on the clipper itself, and found the kit shipped without scissors, a comb or a blade brush.

Strengths
  • — TechGearLab says it excels on long, thick hair with occasional mats as well as short, thin hair
  • — Grippy body texture and a long, flexible cord, per TechGearLab
  • — Blade removes easily for cleaning, per TechGearLab
Watch-outs
  • — No blade height control on the clipper; length changes rely on the attachment combs
  • — TechGearLab's kit came without scissors, a comb or a blade brush
  • — TechGearLab describes it as larger and heavier, which tires the clipping hand sooner

1 sourceall derived$44.71as of Oct 11

TechGearLab named this cordless Wahl its top choice for a quick charge in a six-clipper test, recording a 15-minute charge time and a 2-hour battery life. It had no trouble on long, thick hair and lets the user adjust blade height with a thumb control. The review found it cut thinner hair less well, called the body slick enough to drop, and measured it as the loudest of the cordless models at 60.6 decibels.

Strengths
  • — Fastest charging clipper in TechGearLab's test: a 15-minute charge time and a 2-hour battery life
  • — No issues on long, thick hair in TechGearLab's test
  • — Blade height adjusts on the fly with a thumb control
Watch-outs
  • — TechGearLab found it does not cut as well on thinner hair
  • — Slick material makes it easy to drop while maneuvering, per TechGearLab
  • — Wahl urges owners not to remove the blade, which rules out at-home maintenance
