Why is this clipon attachment more expensive than the standalone Norelco Multigroom Trimmer?

I would have to say it would be the convenience of having just one main shaver unit. It works great. It also fits in the travel case with the main razor and head. You should look for a coupon. I found a $10 off coupon from Phillips Norelco and snapped one up. Glad I did.

Norelco redesigned the shaving head and discontinued the old RQ12. I tried the new RQ12+ on the same shaver and found it better. It is a different head but fits on the previous shaver. It seems the advantage is that when you need to replace it within a year, you only replace the cutters inside and not the whole head.

It looks like the only difference is the special attachment for pet hair. We tried to compare them very closely. If you don't need that it is less costly.

I only use this to trim pads and sanitary area. Im a professional groomer, so on the body ; if you like the cordless get the Ion by ostar, its cost more but i use it daily, big or small dogs ket the extra battery, gomto pet edge.

I purchased this trimmer from Amazon in March 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were willing to pay far more. As to performance, it works quite well and that includes facial hair. That is, if you're looking to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe their reason for the "not to use for facial hair" has more to do with preserving sale for products specifically for the face than it does for anything else.

I agree with Lulu this IS a very nice clipper. I'm also a professional groomer and use it everyday. Sounds like you may need some additional instruction. I also agree with Melissa in that you can check out youtube but also go to the Andis website to see what they have available. Wishing you best success.

Not sure, however I called the company because my scissor battery died pretty quickly and they said they discontinued this scissor back in 2007. I paid about $20 and used it quite a bit fir six months. Good luck!

I can't say for sure why the difference in price but I can say that this saw has performed well at every task I've given it. Not so much as a hiccup. Very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

My dad and brother and me all have the speedmaster 2, and one of them cuts pretty dang close. I'm guessing the way the blade is seated results in that clipper cutting as close as some trimmers.

No it does not. No Norelco I ever owed (over 10 priced $30-$120) had a trimmer size changer.

I don't have it in front of me, however I believe it has attachments up to 1 inch down to 1/4 inch and the larger clipper has a built in sliding guide for about a 1/4 inch down to a close stubble. The smaller one is very close to a shave. The are both very durable and Wahl is what my Barber and Brother, a stylist, use and have for over 20 years, my Barber still uses one he bought in the 80's! I hope this helps, Take Care.

It seems to give a slightly better (smoother) shave on the flat surfaces like the cheek areas but not as good around the chin and lip areas. The double-edge single blade system is much more cost effective than multiple blades. The handle on this model is somewhat short, and could be longer for better balance.

Only owning the 400, I can not make the comparison, but the rpm and power is noticeably different between the 1 and 2 setting. You can see it rotate faster, hear the change in pitch, and see the results on particularly thick or stubborn grass/weeds/etc. Having tried this out as a possible substitution for my Poulan Pro gas trimmer, I never plan to go back to gas (keep in mind I have only a small subdivision lot (~6100sqft) with a privacy fence and multiple landscape areas). I enjoy not having to maintain, keep track of, or charge multiple batteries. The 400 is a sweet piece of equipment.

The attachments are just different sized plastic comb/clips that you snap onto the end of the clipper. Very easy to use.

not loud but not a good pick for clipping. the larger one's blade broke off some teeth amd as you may know is ineffective now. the small one did not cut properly from the beginning. I would reccommend the Yellow Dog cordless trimmer, I am on my 3rd one because you cannot change ot sharpen the blade, but for 20.00 bucks why not replace as needed. I use them around the ears and faces of my 2 mini schnauzers. Good Luck

No there is no difference except that one is listed as being as $22 and one is $18. But there is a variation on this model (Leatherman Style CS) that has larger scissors in place of the pliers. Hope this was helpful - Andrew

not sure, but the concern would be operational performance and am not sure how loudness is a part of that. I just used my clipper yesterday and it kicks ass, no constant repeat passes over same area, can basically cut my own hair,and the cost was reasonable after wasting my money on conair clippers that only lasted a couple years each.
