Well worth the price
By Richard Park
I bought this model 7 years ago for over $100 and it is still running strong although I only use it to clip a small family dog. Nevertheless, forget the cheap vibrating 'magnetic motor' clippers - not enough power and the buzzing bothers the animal. This clipper uses a superior rotating motor that is more powerful and provides a consistent cutting action. In fact, with the right (replaceable) blade, you could use this to cut kids hair as well. It stays cool, unlike the magnetic motor design. Use with Oster Kool Lube and you will never have problems getting a clean cut. It uses blades by Oster so there is a lot of versatility possible.

Excellent clipper for a great price
By Teena
I have been using this clipper for my Standard Poodle for about 6 months now - I do his feet and face at least once a month - and it is great for all our needs. I have never taken him to a groomer, and have had show dog friends and pro groomers tell me he looks great with just the clipping we do with this clipper. All clippers will get hot - it's simply a law of physics: two pieces of metal rubbing together at high speed causes heat. I have extra blades and a damp cloth nearby when the blade gets hot. If you find the clipper "drags through the coat" it may be the same thing that happened to me when I first got it - the blade wasn't snapped down into position correctly and it wasn't clipping at all. For my Poodle, this clipper is fabulous, and the price can't be beat!

Best of FIVE we tried - the only one that worked on our Himalayan
By Y. R. Wu
This review was originally for the Andis MGB2 clipper body mated to the stainless "ultra edge 10" blade. For whatever reason, here at Amazon this combination is available in a multiplicity of model numbers based on included accessories and also many different vendors. The vendor for this review appears to have linked it to a slightly different clipper which appears to have the same body but a ceramic blade. The Ceramic blade should in theory stay sharper longer than a stainless blade but I can't speak to it's performance on fine hair as I haven't tried it.
Original review below:
Animals vary greatly in temperment so if you can borrow a friends clipper to try on your animal first I recommend it before making the investment. We have two cats so this clipper more or less paid for itself the first year in use.
We tried my sister's animal clipper the first year. The second year we tried two from Target and one from Petsmart. Finally bit the bullet and got this one from Petsmart. Pricier than the first we bought from them but worth it. (They were kind enough to let us return the first one)
In hindsight, if we had the option of buying the clipper only we would have as we don't need all the combs, and if you don't need the extras you can get the clipper by itself for a lot less. The black plastic molded case ours came with is very convenient, however.
Be careful when buying this clipper - the actual model of the clipper is MBG2 and it comes with a #10 blade. THERE ARE TWO ANDIS "PET PRO" CLIPPERS and the other one (The body is shorter, without the swoopy curve on the handle) doesn't get very good reviews.
Himalayan cats are like Persians and have massive amounts of extremely fine hair. The other clippers we tried bogged down immediately and got very hot. This blazes through and is also quieter and cooler than the other ones which is good since our Siamese is jumpy.
In terms of cat-trimming technique, we first trim all the nails (just in case) then sit on a chair on our deck, with a towel in our lap.
Cat in lap on towel, pet for a few minutes until they purr, then start clipping. It helps to keep some tension on their skin with the other hand. Imagine you are petting with your left hand to your left, and the clipper is in your right hand moving to your right.
My ratings: 1 star: Avoid! / 2 stars: Some merit but I can't recommend / 3 stars: Decent, nice / 4 stars: Recommended / 5 stars: Nearly perfect!

Great product, with a few quirks.
Be sure to use pet food with greater than 1/2" diameter!!!
No good for leather seats
