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.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Andis D-8 Slimline Pro Li T-blade Trimmer

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.

What customers say about "Features"

Andis D-8 Slimline Pro Li T-blade Trimmer

WOW these clippers are the best thing ever.. forget wahl detailer these outclass them in every way.. For outlining the really are the BOSS.
It has helped me do a lot of beards, mustaches and edges without the hassle of cords and or cheap trimmers.
Great buy, I was surprise how good it perform, very sharp trimmer.
So far so good with the razor.
Great outliners, definitely the best wireless ones on the market
Unfortunately these trimmers were terrible for me. They did not cut well unless the hair was EXTREMELY fine.

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!
