What customers say about "Key Specs"
Andis D-8 Slimline Pro Li T-blade Trimmer
  • I like the attachments and it seems to hold a strong charge for a long time.
  • I used it in dry or wet hair it works great, last a long time when charge completely .Last more then 2 hrs n I used it a lot between customers.
  • The trimmer was immediately set up with a close to zero gap with no problems cutting the skin. No problems have been experienced with maintaining a charge on the Li battery.
  • Love this product easy to handle great attachments keeps charge.
  • It's not all about battery, or motor. It's about the BLADE. and it is SHARP!
  • Just a little worried about the power button and charging port. Both seems flemsy.
Oster 78705-018 Golden A5 Single Speed Clipper
  • It takes time to get used to the technique for a first time beginner like me, but in the end I was able to get a lions cat on all my cats.
  • This Oster and those at a similar level of quality will bring up your pet clipping game and make your animal's experience much better.
  • My cat is a longhair cat that has very thin fur and this works very well for her.
  • Also shave at a angle it works better for getting a close cut.
  • The only drawback would be it gets hot kind of fast but not a big deal.

  • Great product. Lightweight and easy to use.
  • light weight easy to use trimmer. Light to the touch and easy on the hands.
  • Not to big, not to small, just right.
  • It very light perfect battery last awhile.
  • I'm confused about what they meant. I dont like the material it's made of because it seems cheap, but maybe that's what was needed to make it so light weight.
Oster 78705-018 Golden A5 Single Speed Clipper
  • It isn't too heavy, has great power and doesn't over heat.
  • It is not heavy and that was important for me.
  • Easy to use. Has several different guard sizes. Durable. And high-quality.
  • They get heavy after several minutes of grooming in various position and more importantly they get very hot, very quick.
  • VERY BIG...I cannot stress how big this trimmer is. It was very uncomfortable to hold it was so large.

Oster 78705-018 Golden A5 Single Speed Clipper
  • Very efficient and easy to use. Dual speed is very handy.
  • These clippers have two speeds, making them very versatile.
  • Slow speed worked well, and the blades never even nicked the cat.
  • The front half is metal and gets uncomfortably hot in your hand which you tend to hold in tight areas
  • These work well if you don’t mind your hand getting burned, they heat up very quickly!
