Z blade. I bought the Oster 76 and Model 10 at the same time. Love them both, but the 76 is so much smoother and more durable. The Model 10 has a slight design flaw in my opinion. The head part is separate from the body held by plastic screws , and it will tweak off of axis, the mechanism when you don't support it when closing a blade. Hard to explain but trust me, the 76 or similar body is the much better design.
I have learned to deal with the model 10 to keep it good, but one jar or bump to the head could really damage it. The size and weight of the 76 is a non-issue. Why anyone ever brought it up in reviews is beyond me. Last edited: May 28, I did buy most of the blades and combs for the clippers, and I can tell you that it is an amazing set of tools to have.
They should outlast me. These clippers require a little maintenance, but what a joy to do and use. I highly recommend Osters 76's, Model 10's, and whatever blades you need. I would say get the 76 over the Model Z blade said:. That's very helpful information. Thank you. It makes me feel better about having the I have been using Wahl Professions 5 star balding clippers for over 10 years. My first first pair lasted almost 8 years. I've had it for a long time so it's probably out of production.
Suffice it to say it's a workhorse and I highly recommend it. I'm searching for a decent clipper. There is a adjustment screw in the side of the body, and I couldn't get that thing to cut worth a damn unless I had it adjusted to where it was uncomfortably loud. And then after half a dozen uses it just wouldn't cut, and yes I'd oiled it it looked like I was trying to thin my hair rather than simply cut it.
I've "round filed" my Andis. But I do have a Andis trimmer that seems to do a nice job, and I have hope that my Andis combs from the Master might fit the 76 blades. You're quite welcome! The 76 is a one-piece body, and is completely rigid, where the Model 10 is a two-piece that has a separately screwed on cap that is the cam area. I wish it wasn't made like that. The motor is effected by pressure shifts in the housing area. Motor will sound like it's off axis and bog down a little.
There is a big difference in using the 76 after using the 10 for awhile. Less vibration. Glad I can pass on my experience of something I have learned. Model 10 is cool to have, like a loud hot rod, and looks great. The 76 it smooth like a Cadillac. Size difference is no disadvantage either way. If you cut your own hair, I've been very happy with the Wahl Pilot.
This is sufficient for heavy duty use and prolonged bulk cutting. The Andis professional cutter is powerful enough to deal with all kinds of hair types including very thick, curly or ethnic. On the other hand, the Oster Fast Feed blade is made of cryogenically tested stainless steel which makes them amazingly durable.
It too is an adjustable blade clipper which can shift from a size to a size 1 via the slightly more rigid side lever on the unit. It is more powerful than others in this range, but still cannot match the power of the electromagnetic motor of the Andis professional cutter. This means that the Fast Feed clipper will still perform very well when balding or fading, but it is not powerful enough to deal with prolonged bulk cutting, especially when it comes to dealing with very curly and thick hair, despite the strong and durable Fast Feed blades.
Due to the fact that the Andis Master is made entirely out of metal , it comes to no surprise that its immensely powerful motor will cause the clipper to heat up considerably during use.
These incredible 14, SPM generated by its motor also cause quite a bit of noise too. On the other hand, many barbers love their professional buzzing sound. The Oster Fast Feed is made of plastic and has a less powerful Whisper Quiet motor, which means that you will not need to deal with too much noise or heating up and the need of coolants if you choose to use this one.
Of course it is not perfectly silent, but compared to the Andis, the Oster Fast Feed will purr like a kitten. So, if noise and heating is a big deal for you, you should opt for the Fast feed clipper. When it comes to the price and the accessories included in the package, once again the Oster Fast Feed is the clear winner in this competition with the Andis Master.
The Fast Feed are affordable clippers which are great for people with medium range budgets. The Master is quite a bit more expensive, but is much more powerful and durable. In addition, you need to consider how easy it easy to maintain, how noisy it is, and how quickly it heats up.
Here is some more information for you as consider which clipper to buy. The motor also impacts how noisy the clippers are and how often they overheat. You need a fast, powerful motor that is also quiet. The higher the strokes per minute, the faster and more powerful the motor will be. If you are a professional groomer, or if you own multiple pets, you will need to get a professional quality clipper that can handle all of the different types of dogs that you will groom.
A universal or rotary motor is the best option for you. Many clippers offer multiple speeds so that you can use slower speeds on dogs with thinner coats, and higher speeds on dogs with long or matted hair. Just remember that faster speeds will heat up faster than the lower speed settings. The length of the blade will determine how short the hair is when you get done with it.
The higher the blade number, the shorter the hair will be. Some clippers come with multiple blades or adjustable blades, but many of them only include one blade.
The good news is that both Andis and Oster clippers often have detachable blades, and you can use the blade from either brand on both clippers. You can also purchase plastic guides or combs that can help you to get the desired length. So virtually every product will begin to overheat at some point. Noise is another inherent factor created by the electric motor within the clippers.
For most owners, noise is not a major factor. But if you have a sensitive dog that gets anxious easily, loud clippers will spook them and make grooming very difficult. Even the most courageous dogs get nervous when you are using a loud pair of clippers around their face. It is possible to find dog clippers with quiet motors, but make sure that you are not sacrificing necessary power for a quieter motor. You truly cannot go wrong with a pair of dog clippers from Andis or Oster.
Both brands have some of the best products on the market. I have gathered some important information about each brand to help you decide which product is best for you.
Andis started as a family-owned company in , and it has remained a family operation ever since. They are not a household name, like Oster, but that is because they have stuck to the grooming markets, instead of expanding into household products. However, they are the most popular brand with professional groomers, and the quality of their products continue to make them a leader in this market.
Originally, the company focused on barber and beauty supplies, which led to creating similar products for pet grooming. However, throughout its many years, it has expanded to things like blenders, humidifiers, and even small motors that were used in airplanes during World War Two.
The expansion of its product lines has made it a household name, but Oster continues to make high-quality grooming products as it has since the beginning. Oster has a small variety of dog clippers available, including their most popular Oster A5, and the upgraded version, the Oster A6.
Many professional groomers swear by their Oster products and have used them ever since their training classes. Overall, the Oster dog clippers are reliable and long-lasting. These are built with the same quality that you can expect from all of the Andis products. They are a great product for any at-home groomer. If you are someone just starting their professional grooming business, this is an easy way to add a backup pair of clippers without spending too much.
There is only one 10 ceramic blade included in the kit, but it also comes with four attachment combs that can be used to cut longer lengths. It might struggle on dogs with long, curly, thick, or matted hair.
The Andis EasyClip Pro-Animal Detachable Clipper is the best price compared to other Andis products, but it is also not the finest one of their products. It is sufficient for at-home touch-ups on medium-length hair, but you might get frustrated if you are trying to groom a large dog with long, thick hair.
