I want a clipper to replace my Andis from our local store.My pom has thick hair.Would this clipper be a good choice for my needs?? Or a cheaper type?

No this clipper is not good for thick hair at all .....you need a big high speed one, well not big but with more power.

I love these clippers. They cut like butter threw my dogs hair. Worth every penny.

The andis clipper like this one is one of the best one for all kid of dog hair types. :)

It works great on a very thick nappy standard poodle and a standard golden doodle.

I also have this clipper, but it's brand new. I just did a web search for a replacement blade and didn't get anywhere, even on the Andis site, Since I only paid $25 for the clipper, I'll probably just order a new one when this blade dulls, unless someone else can come up with a place to find a blade only for a reasonable price.one

The hair on a Malti-Poo is thin and fine. It will bend and tangle without getting cut. the Andis clipper and combs work better for dogs with hair that is more coarse and thick.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

Hello, Sorry I took so long to respond. I am not familiar with the 21420 model, so I wouldn't know, but this clipper has been great. I have a Lhasa Apso (hair is thick and fine) it is hard to get through his hair. The Andis clipper makes it easy to pick the correct blade. I have had to clipper him since June about 5-6 times already (his hair grows, not sheds). I would recommend this clipper based on its performance alone. I bought it because I saw a groomer at Petsmart using one! The clipper does get hot quickly, but its little with a little motor - keep it oiled and it will keep on going!

I use it on an Andis but I read the can it says Disinfects and Lubricates hair clippers. So by what I read u probably can use it on any clippers. It does lubricate and keep the blade cools. Hope I helped you. Good Luck;-)

I've been a groomer for over 40 years. This is a powerful clipper. I would use a #7f blade to shave your chow to the skin. If you want to leave the hair longer, you could use an attachment (andis guard), but the hair must be in good condition to get the guard through it.

This is the best clipper I have ever used. and I do use it on our Maltee-poo's paw but not nail.JJW

I must have gotten a bad set of clippers since others had luck. Tried them on a Lhasa apso/shitzu mix and they barely cut any hair off of him. I've been grooming my dogs for 25 yrs and I consider these to be the worst clippers that I've ever had. Good luck

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

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 sorry we don't stock clippers for outside the USA. Try contacting the manufactures of Andis.

I would NOT advise it. I have a Teddybear Shichon and it will not cut through his hair. It is going to take a much more powerful and more expensive clipper. I wish I had NOT purchased this one. It is difficult to master I would imagine with a very good one---but this one is impossible. I am rethinking this because of my try. There are many other things needed like controle loop to keep them in position and good place for them to safely stand. Plus, it is time consuming for unskilled folks. I took about 4 hours and still was not happy with the results. Most had to be done with scissors. I would not recommend these for dog with thick hair. I would NOT advise it.

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.

These clippers should work fine for what you need. My professional groomer friends use them at their shops for all breeds. I use them on Irish and English Setters and they work great. I think they would work nicely for light trimming on my horse too.

You are very welcome! In opinion. .it is well worth it.On my longer haired dogs my trimmer takes a beating.it has gotten put knots & tangles.In fact, my pld one would have been stillcworking if it were not that my older dog Charlottle gets so messy, and had a really bad tangle that took awhile and it finally gave our after a year and a half.Like I said, I am rough on the trimmer.It should last aclot longer.Tge second one I have is over a year and still in great condition.It is lightweight& fits easy in your hand.If the blade gets too warm...stop ut for a few mins.and wipediwn w/a cotton ball (not soaked) of alcohol. I hope they never stop making this trimmer! :) You are very welcome!

I'm not sure. To be honest, I don't think this clipper is a heavy duty one. I have a small shih tzu. She has a lot of hair, but it's really silky and smooth. So I've used this clipper only once. During haircut, it worked fine at first, then it overheated. So I had to turn it off, let it cool off a little bit. Then I resumed. One month later, I left it to charge for 24 hours (according to instruction) to use it again, it didn't turn on! No signs of life! So for me, this clipper went straight to the trash can after 1 use. I wouldn't recommend buying it.
