| ANDIS AGC single speed electric animal clipper |
| |
|
Made in the USA, and rather identical to the two -speed AGC clipper,
it will no doubt appeal to some dog groomers, although it has to
be pointed out that for a few pounds more they can get the two speed
facility with the additional power. A serious consideration to anybody
in a professional situation! Past experiences tend to lead one to
believe most folk will opt for the two speed, unless some major
difference appears. Cattle exhibitors, veterinarians, and especially
equine owners with nervous horses will surely see the wisdom in
selecting the more powerful option.

| GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION: |
| Like the AGC two speed this clipper is both well balanced and very compact and handles well. The powerful motor with a cutting speed of 2700 strokes per minute is according to the manufacturer, both cool running and maintenance free, requiring no oiling or greasing of its internal parts. The clipper has been designed for professional daily use, and from extensive tests we have carried out certainly it meets the claims of the manufacturer. A good deal of thought has been applied to the casing design resulting in an attractive “slim line” shaped handpiece which has a very pleasant feel and handles effortlessly in a working capacity. A blade release lever locks blades in position, and the “on/off switch is readily accessible to your thumb in case of an emergency.

| VERDICT: |
| As we have stated with other Andis products in recent years there has been a
few problems, and some clipper have failed to live up to expectations. Both
annoying, very costly in return postage terms to say nothing of the
inconvenience and frustration felt by the consumer to whom it just appears to be
nothing more than another endless string of problems. To give credit however we
have been impressed by the actual grooming parlour tests we have performed on
this model even though short in terms of time.
As to the wisdom of producing two rather similar models with so little
“space” between them especially on cost, we question, Others have tried it -
general one machine loses to the other. |
