Drawbacks
You have to buy other blades separately
There are important internal parts made of plastic in this clipper such as around the screws in the blade assembly – these plastic parts seem likely to break or fail
Some blades and sometimes the clipper unit heats up fast
Overall
Until Oster improve a few small design flaws, there’s better value out there for multiple speed electric clippers. The Andis AGC2 corded clipper is a pretty good value for money versatile pet clipper
