How does this compare to andis trimmers?

The Oster Taler Trimmer is a rotary motor where as the Andis T-Edger or T-Outliner is a magnetic motor. If you were to open the case on the Taler you would see an electric motor with shaft coming out of the motor to move the blade. WHen you open the case of the T-Edger or T-Outliner you would see an electric magnetic motor (like a door bell) which moves the arm back and forth by magnetic pauses. The Oster Taler moves the blade at a more constant movement and does not vibrate the holder's hand like the T-Edger or T-Outliner making the Taler easier to use. All are good trimmers and have been on the market a long time.

The 4FC Andis blade leaves hair 3/8". The 7FC Andis blade would leave hair 1/8" long. The 3 3/4 leaves hair 1/2". With Andis blades, the higher the number, the shorter the hair. Oster blades are just the opposite I believe. Comb attachments will give you long/longer hair.

One difference I noticed is the brushes are removable so it's makes for much easier cleaning. There is no little cleaning tool with this one either. I saved mine from the first one and just snapped it on the new one. When I remove the brushes I take a pair a scissors and cut what ever is wrapped around the brushes in have the length of the brush and it comes right off. I have an Irish setter and he has long hair and if I do a quick sweep up job with this and get his hair in it the removable brushes make it easy to clean. You just slide one way or the other to remove them. They are spring loaded. Love my sweeper.

I have read some reviews for this trimmer saying trimming nose hair was difficult.. I have not found that to be the case, it is quite easy. It is not as "easy" as the trimmers with circular blades that are only for nose hair, but frankly, I think this trimmer does a far better job than the circular trimmers I have tried. It also works great for ear hair and eyebrows!

I have Goldendoodles and use this blade. However, I suggest going to the Andis site to see which ades are used for different trims.

I didnt like my worx trimmer because in order to get a nice clean edge you had to stay in one place too long then the trimmer would need to be recharged before I could finish the yard, and I dont have a large yard. The features sound good, the way you can position it and it is light weght. I ended up buying another trimmer from Sears. I was not happy with the worx trimmer. It is now a fixture in my garage.

I use it to trim my hair vs. beard trimming. When i opened the package I was skeptical about the blad system. Not like those on Wahl trimmers. After using it for several months, ai like it better than my old Wahl. The trim is less dramatic and more natural. The unit cleans very easy and the combs snap on and off easily.

They do cut closer if they're properly zero-gapped; mine were perfect right out of the box and I'd contend that most of them will be. One advantage over clippers I've had before is that the open/closer lever on the side of the fade master is graduated, and I think this goes for most if not all Andis clippers, but Wahls and others are not. The biggest advantage for me is that you can use the purple magnetic guards on these and they'll never come off on their own and the teeth won't eat into them either; they are the best guards I've ever used.

Definitely,I been wearing a bald head for 16 yrs and that's the only way I can shave is with clippers due to sensitive skin, The Andis GTX, cuts smooth, precise and clean, due to the powerful motor it's even quick, highly recommended

I am not a barber by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been cutting my hair for the last 25 years or so. I've used Andis Outliners for the past 25 years and I decided to try something different over the last year or so. I got tired of the Andis clippers getting hot. I tried the 8081s and they cut just fine and I only decided to get the 8290s because I saw where someone on Youtube say that the 8290s have metal screw holes, so stripping out the screw holes wouldn't likely happen. The 8290s cut fine as well. I'd recommend a T-Wide blade and you may have to adjust them to get a closer cut. I also like the Wahl Hero clippers and the Andis Superliners. I use the Superliners the most, followed by the Heros (I shave with them). I have sensitive skin and the 8290s and 8081 tend to agitate my skin if I use them too frequently. However, they work fine on my son.

Hi, The 4-cycle trimmer starts easier and and runs smoother. In my opinion is more quiet during operation in comparison to the 2-cycle trimmer. It cuts well and is easy to handle.

As for the Andis being superior, I don't buy it. They're just a little cheaper. A few years ago, Andis started making their clippers so non-Andis blades would not work on them. They quickly reversed that decision and offered revised blade clips to customers who had bought these clippers. I'm pretty sure this blade will fit an Oster clipper, but I ain't guaranteeing it.

This Andis model uses a premium rotary motor that makes it more quite and smooth sounding than the wahl clippers that use a vibrating motor that makes a loud buzz sound. I think it's worth the extra price since it's quieter.

I cant remember don't use this anymore. I would recommend the wahl 99180 trimmer. It's way better

We primarily use the 7FC blade on the Andis 22360 AGC for our lab. It leaves just a little fur so he is not bare and there are no bald spots. The #10 blade gives a near bald look and the #5 will leave the fur a little longer than the 7fc. The 7fc is a good middle ground for us.
