Other customer reviews indicate that this may be a fine product, but I don’t plan to find out. What I wish I’d known is the degree of care the trimmer calls for. To quote the instruction booklet: “Blades should be oiled before, DURING, and after each use…The clipper/trimmer should be held in a position shown in Diagram A to prevent oil from getting into motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades. Wipe excess oil off with a soft dry cloth…To clean the blades we suggest to immerse (sic) the blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Oil while the clipper is running.”

Yikes. Call me a whiner but I don’t have time–ok, the patience–for this amount of hand-holding.

Bought this to use on schnauzers’ ears and it works great. Have used a Andis clipper for many years and have had great luck!!!!!!

I love this trimmer at first. I charged for the first time and clipped my own hair in about 15 minutes. I recharged and clipped my dogs hair and it lost power in one hour. It was fine because one hour is very long for a battery powered clipper. As time went on, whenever i recharge to clip my dogs hair, the battery life became shorter and shorter. Not it can barely last over 30 minutes and its only been about 4 months. After the initial 10 minutes, the sound starts lowering in volume. When i say 30 minutues, I mean its after charging it for over 2 days. This is frustrating the heck out of me as clipping my dogs hair now takes over 2 sessions with charges in between. If i can return this product I definitely would.

I'm a cosmetologist who works essentially as a barber. I do a lot of skin fades. California will not allow me to use a Razor, so I use The Andis T-Edjer II. It gets very close and my clients like that. It does a great job of trimming around a haircut. And for trimming mustaches well it is just perfect. So for grooming my clients I just have not found anything better.

There are corded clippers that can cut as close thou they tend to be more uncomfortable to my clients. But I love the freedom of rechargeable cord free clippers.

This clipper is small, it fits in my large hand comfortably. I can run this clipper over the clients scalp holding it backwards and scraping hard, you can hear the clipper nibbling hair below the skin level. I just have not found any clipper that is such a joy to use. It sits in it's stand between uses and gets thru the day, cutting head after head of hair.

It produces an absolutely remarkable finish to a skin fade. I love this clipper!

This is an absolutely horrible clipper. The dang things literally fall apart in your hands. Clippers need to be oiled, the oil seems to affect the plastic housing adversely. And no I do not over oil and I go out of my way to reduce oil seeping into the body of the clipper. After months and months of use it'll stop taking a charge, the motor will stop running at top speed, or the housing will fall apart.

They seem to just get out of warranty or (in this case, I buy 2 or three, to always have one on hand) I'll have bought a clipper over a year ago and when I put it into service it'll stop working after just one or two months service.

After thinking about it I gave it two stars because I've found nothing on the market that I like better. I keep buying them, over and over again.

I hate this clipper.
