    Golden A5 Clipper – Have experienced the problem others have noted. Has nothing to do with blades being sharp or oiled. Can reseat the blade and have it cut like butter for 20 seconds, then nothing. Blades still vibrating, no change in sound etc. Can reseat 10 times or more and MAYBE have it start cutting like butter again. Did note that the #10 blade worked fine, but also noticed that the #10 has 3 tines for every 2 tines on the #3 or #5 blades. Hence, it appears clear that the shuttle is somehow not traveling far enough to actually cut the hair with the #3 or #5 blades. Have had this product for about 3 years and use to trim 2 dogs.

    Given the cost and inability to diagnose or fix this problem – I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLIPPER.

    Exceeded my expectations. Cuts the kids (dogs and cats) hair fast and easy. Having 3 dogs and 12 cats of which 8 of them used

    to go to the beauty salon, now gets this done at home saving a lot of money. Best purchase made in 2009.

    I’ve been doing some of the trimming of my dogs for the past 20 years. Over those years I’ve bought $30-$60 trimmers — all of which got too hot and wore out too quickly. Basically junk. So I resorted to having professional trimmers take care of my dogs. Had a TERRIBLE experience with our local Petco last year, when one dog came home terrorized, and our second dog injured from their treatment.

    After that incident, and paying $130 for Petco’s terrible service, I decided to go back to doing it myself. This time I wised up and bit and bought the standard, the Oster A-5. What a pleasure to use. It trims faster, cooler, and easier. And that makes the whole experience easier on my dogs, and easier on the trimmer (me).

    Worth every penny. I just wish I’d done this ten years ago.

    My main complaint is the #10 blade that is included with the clipper. It should be a #40 blade, because a #40 blade is designed to work with the plastic comb attachments that are marketed with this product.

    There is quite a bit of heat build-up after having it on for 10 minutes, but the plastic comb attachments keep it away from your pets skin, so I don’t see this as a deal breaker.

    If you’re going to use the clipper without one of the combs, I would recommend using it when you first start, or let it cool down before contacting the metal cutting blade to skin.
