I have 2 tight-curly haired cockapoos and my Wahl Show Pro Plus doesn't do the job. Will this Oster A6 work better? What size blade?

By "tight-curly" do you mean matts? If so, mine comes with a 10 blade which is perfect for getting out matts. Otherwise, I have not used the Wahl Show Pro, but the Oster A6 is a higher quality than that specific Wahl model so it should work better.

I use my Oster clipper to clip miniature horses it is better than the a5 much more powerful but I don't know how it would be with dogs.

I have a shaipoo and a Labradoodle and it works great on them. I used the #10 blade that comes with it on the smaller dog and a #4f on the Labradoodle.

I was impressed with this Oster A6. I also purchased a Wahl trimmer few yrs back thinking would work, did not!! My dog is a golden retriever mix which I believe is possibly husky or some kind of dog with a thick undercoat that matts horribly. This trimmer easily shaved thru her thick matted hair, she looked fantastic and felt so much better.

Yes.OSTER products are amazing. Whal is an inferior product. The Oster A6 will work for your cockapoos. I have 6 different breeds of my own all different fur types. I am very pleased with the results. My friend borrowed my shaver for her Cotton Tulear/Poodle mix & was equally as pleased.You will however have to purchase the assorted comb pkg also. Best of luck fellow fur baby owner.

The clippers are good. But I wouldn't know what number blade you would want. I use the 7 for my setter/chessie mix (dog) who has a double coat. You could ask a groomer for advice on that one.

I can't use the blade guards on my Angora Rabbits, I d k if they and the blade will work together. I do like the Wahl bravurs

Wahl clippers are good for shaving the head. They also work on hairline cutting and line work on the beard. Clipper is about 2 inches wide, so not ideal for small, close patterns.

Hi JPSwole, This clipper guide fit standard size Wahl clippers. I own the Wahl Chrome Pro and it fits perfectly. The Wahl Cordless designer clippers appears to be standard size but I am not sure so I don't want sway you in the wrong direction. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it does because Wahl Razors have more than one model and the sizes are very different, so i doubt very much that this 2 Hole Balding Clipper Blade will fit all Wahl Razors. Some do not attach with two screws as this one does. Hope this helps.

I use mine without a guard. And groom my dogs underside and legs. If the blade does heat up spray it with "Kool Lube" by Oster . Then i use an Oster pro turbo w/#7 blade to do my dogs back. The Oster does get hot so has to be sprayed. The Wahl doesnt get as hot and i have not had to spray it. The Wahl is sharper and easier to use than the Oster. I love my Wahl! Kiki Christensen

I believe that the cordless blades are the same size as the corded blades so you shouldn't experience any problems. According to Wahl's website, the #10 attachment "fits all U.S.A. made Wahl clippers and China made clipper series 9113, 9243, 9305, 9655." If you want to be sure, you need to find out what series number the 85910 cordless clippers are part of and check to see that it matches with one of those four series.

Don't know about the Oster, but I use it to cut my son's hair and it works great. I also use it on my poodle. Neither minds. lol

I have a standard cockapoo who weighs 30 pounds. The clipper does not work too well. I only use it for his feet. Of course, a pomeranian's fur is not as coarseor curly as a cockapoo's. Although I am not a professional groomer, I have personally groomed my cockers for over 20 years. Therefore, I am aware of the various clippers. I would not use this touch-up Wahl for full grooming. Please note that I am a big Wahl clipper fan. All my best clippers are manufactured by Wahl. Beth

Not sure as I have a 20-blade for my English Cockers that works very well. Guess I'd suggest the 12 over the 10, but not entirely sure.

Yes....I have used them with various Oster clippers as well as Wahl. They can also be used over Oster 76 Blades. They are "one size fits all" attachments, and they work rather well.

This clipper is HORRIBLE! Wish I had returned it. Contrary to what they claim, it does not cut well and gets very hot. Go for the extra dollars and get yourself the Oster Golden A5. It does come with the #10 blade. Oster uses cryovac(?) blades which are terrible. They stick to the dogs coat. You can however, get an Andis blade which works well. I have been cutting Schnauzers and Cocker Spaniels for decades and I am going to purchase another A5.

All Oster blades fit an Oster clipper. The size is refers to the length of cut you want that is best for your dog. I order a 10F and a 4F.

Diane, This will work on a Westie (what a beautiful doggie), you need to patiently learn how to use this awesome tool! The blades have a rouded end so it does not dig into the dogs skin, and there are 10 of them, so it is like using a comb only this comb cuts through the hair. I use mine on a cocker and it does a great job. Use it often and you won't need to work hard at all. I hope I answered your question. Have a blessed day!

Hi Kelly - I also am only a home groomer, but the Wahl Motion clipper cuts my Springer Spaniel's hair extremely well. His hair gets very thick and the blade cuts so well that I have to be careful not to cut his hair too short. Good luck and take care

i would go to the Wahl web site and put in the model # and it should show you what blade you need.
