  • Golden power!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 31, 2002
    Pros: It gets the job done!
    Cons: Retains heat.

    Summary: I purchased my Golden A5 Two speed clippers four years ago to clip our cocker spaniels. I would never dream of buying another brand. The Golden A5 two speed clippers come equipped with; low speed for around the animals face and private area, ... read more

  • CLIPPING YOUR OWN PET IS THE WAY TO GO!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 6, 2001
    Pros: AS A PAST DOG GROOMER, THIS IS THE BRAND THAT I ALWAYS BOUGHT!
    Cons: COULD BE CONSIDERED EXPENSIVE UNTIL YOU REALIZE HOW WELL THEY DO WORK!

    Summary: At one time, I raised and groomed teacup poodles. I would never use any brand of shaver on the pets except Oster! With Oster A5 2-Speed Clippers, you can rely upon an evenly done job, as long as the groomer has a steady hand and is in charge of the pet! ... read more

  • Oster-A Name I Can Depend On

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community

    Pros: durability, two speed motor, cooling fan
    Cons: weight of the clippers is a little heavy

    Summary: I do dog grooming in my spare time as well as groom my own. Having a multi poodle family I was forced to learn to groom as a cost effective measure. I started with a less expensive brand of clippers by a competitor and within the first two ... read more

  • A dog's best friend

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 25, 2000
    Pros: Easy to use
    Cons: A little pricey, but they pay for themselves after a few uses

    Summary: As a former vet tech (now a stay at home mom of 2) I used these clippers on a daily basis. From prepping for surgery, to clipping gum from a Persian cat's hair, these are by far the best. I also purchased these clippers for my own personal ... read more

  • Schnauzers best

    Oct 25, 2000
    Pros: Reliability
    Cons: price

    Summary: I chose the Oster A5-2clippers for the reputation that Oster has. I have purchased a few Oster clippers, and find them all quite reliable. I especially like the A5-2clippers for the double speed. My schnauzer doesn't mind being clipped, but she ... read more

  • Can I frame mine?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 12, 2000
    Pros: Great reliability, smooth operation, years of use
    Cons: They do get very hot, just check them every now and then and give them a break when they get too warm

    Summary: When I purchased my Oster A5 clippers I never intended them to be used on my dogs! I bought my clippers over 5 years ago as a product to use on my HORSE! Since we belong to a mounted security unit it is important to keep him looking ... read more

  • A Workhorse

    Oct 6, 2000
    Pros: easy to handle, quick change of blades, extra power for matted coats
    Cons: Pricey for pet owners,

    Summary: I have been a dog groomer for over 32 years. I have used lots of clippers but nothing has done the job day after day like the Oster A-5 Clipper. I have an Oster A-5 clipper that is 25 years old and still running. That clipper is a little noisy but I ... read more

  • OSTER A-5: Still the Standard by Which Others are Judged

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 4, 2000
    Pros: Powerful, excellent control, tough and well made
    Cons: Expensive, retains heat

    Summary: My dogs, Dobermanns, are of a breed that requires very little in the way of grooming. Regular brushing and whisker and brow clipping (for show dogs) and they're good to go. As I was active in showing at the time I bought these clippers, I decided to take ... read more

    Pros: Havent used it yet but I'm guessing my Doodle will be shaved in no time
    Cons: None yet

    Summary: I just bought this clipper from DiscountJungle.com linked from  Pricegrabber for $134, my last A5 golden single speed, which I bought 15 yrs ago, was $189.  Go get one of these beauties at the Jungle if you want to save some
