which model and blades would work best for grooming our Bichons ?

I bought this model and I use the #10 blade for face, the special "foot blade" for feet and #7 if I want to shave them down. If you don't want to shave them close with the #7, use the #10 with one of the guards over it. (I bought the set of attachable guards that allow the coat to be cut to different lengths.)

Yes, most definitely. I have Oster and Andis clippers. Also nice to wipe down scissors with. I have a dog boarding kennel and groom; and I've used this product for years. They also have a spray that is excellent.

I have three different blade lengths. Short, medium and long. We have a schnauzer and I use all 3 on his grooming. We just lost our Border Collie to old age and every spring he got a hair cut with the medium length blade. This clipper set has a strong enough motor that even the thickest of hair doesn't clog it up. Just be sure to oil the blade occasionally if you are doing the entire dog. When the clipper is working fast, and hair being clipped quickly due to keeping the blade oiled the pet doesn't mind much at all. The secret is to keeping the blade oiled as you progress.

Yes, for sure, I have a goldendoodle, 4 months old. Worked amazing with the #10 blade with the combs. I ended up buying the large comb size as well for the variety of cut lengths.

You can ask a groomer what they would use for your type of animal. I use the 7 for a husky type and a rott mix and it works fine.

If your Schnauzer is all matted and knotty I would let the groomers do it with their professional clippers. Which will be Oster clippers. thease clippers will easily do the job for regular grooming. You need matt splitters and heavy duty clippers for a dog in bad shape.

I have done my pugs a peke and a maltese. The blade gives out pretty quickly though.

My Setter/Chessie mix has a long, thick double coat. As long as I take my time, the #7 blade works great for a short cut. If I try to shave too fast it has trouble.

Maybe...we have a corgi/aussie X (longer fur) and works great. We stopped at our local PetSmart groomer with the dog and they let us try out a couple different grooming tools, which is how we ended up buying the undercoat rake.

I don't know if clipper blades for dog grooming clippers are interchangeable with razors. Sorry I could not answer your question.

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

Sorry, I'm not the right person to help you. We buy clippers to groom our Chinese Crested Hairless Show dogs. The blades we use are to clip down to the skin. We get a blade that will give us a variable cut, but that's it. SORRY!!

Wow, I have tried Wahl clippers years ago, but have always preferred my Osters. Wahls might be a bit more interchangeable if you use attachments, I do not. The Oster must work for hours as we groom large breed pets such as Airedales with coarse terrier hair and my Osters never let me down.

I'm very happy with the 6-blade and think it work fine on a Pomeranian. The spacing of the blades is good. Perhaps if a smaller version was available with the same spacing it might be better. As always, on grooming issues, check with the breeder if possible, as they would know best.
