I see several variations on the A5 clippers such as "Turbo" and "Golden" but I can't tell the difference between them?

Hi, I'm sorry I don't know the difference between the Turbo or Golden models. I was told specifically that the A5 model would work great for our goldendoodles, which it does.

I have owned the golden for years and love them. I also have long haired shih-Tzu and they work very well weather trimming or cutting shorter for summer. The only thing I see different is speed rate. Turbo is faster, but depends if you feel you need that or just like the word "turbo". The golden has been their #1 for years.

To be honest there is not much difference. The turbo has a bit more power. These clippers are more reliable than most. I own 6 4-legged children that need clipping and these clippers have lasted more than a year. Just wish the blades would last that long.

Yes ~ these are 2-speed. [2000SPM] There is no "GOLDEN" anywhere on clipper or box. My other 2-speed A5 Golden are [2700SPM]. These are a much slower clipper. JM2¢

Go by the model number, the description is used for both and someone didn't edit it I guess. (Make sure you have the orange selected at the top of the page).

I bought this one debating between this one and the "twin turbo". When this one arrived it came in a "twin turbo" box with a "turbo power" sticker on it. I almost bought the other, more expensive unit because it said "made in Italy" in the description. This one has a "made in Italy" sticker on it, though it doesn't say on the description on this page that I can find.

The CP505A-12 is simply the new and improved version of the original red and black style. The new yellow one has laser engraved numbers and the red and black version is most likely stamped. My neighbor has the older style which performs practially the same as mine. Also the yellow model as a bit more information and measurement conversions than the older style. You really can't go wrong with either one.

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've used both and they both work great. I can't really tell the difference between them.

I have both, as far as I can tell there is no difference. They both work the same. Buy whichever cost less. I think it's more of a style thing...

Sorry, I don't know the difference in the models, but they do sound very similar in the description.

It is different than the one I got. I'm not sure of the year of either model.

They both do the same things. The 76ers are a better more professional clipper. The only upside to the outlaw is that it has two speeds. Which isn't really an upside because the blades gets hot in regular speed. If you plan to use the machine constantly as I do being a professional barber I would recommend the 76ers. If using for personal use the cheaper outlaw will be just fine.

Depending on what you are clipping, a #5 is what is generally used to shave down a Lab or Golden Retriever. The lower the number of the blade, the more hair/fur will be left. Check the blade frequently as you trim. A hot blade of any length will leave a clipper burn.

not sure of the difference between the two. But I can say that the Clipper I purchased is definitely not meant for extended use. If you plan to use it to shave dogs or do more than one haircut you might want to look into one of the more expensive models. For me this one works perfect I don't even ever have to use the turbo setting I just shave my head every 3 or 4 days so my Clippers don't see much abuse. One thing I've noticed is that if you do use the turbo setting it tends to get hot really fast. Good enough for my needs.

These clippers ARE 2 speed,they are essentially golden a5's in a black housing.

Don't know but if it wasn't made by the same company, I'd say probably not. The M5 blades end in a oval socket that fits into the Magnum handle. I've used the M5 for a while now and really like it. Since it's made in the USA, it's another good reason to buy them.

The one in your link is a newer version, higher power, difference design. Anyhow, it is depends, which design you like.
