Location: My own little world :) | I'm looking to buy a cordless clipper set for grooming my horses and wanted to ask which ones you all like. Right now I'm looking in the Schneider's catalog and there are so many I have no idea which to choose. My horses haven't really be clipped much so I was looked for the quietest ones I can find. Thanks! |

| I have a Wahl cordless. Charges up good and holds a charge. They were on special on Coolhorse for maybe $36 and I think they were normally $50. I certainly like mine. |

Location: Nebraska | I had a pair of Andis and absolutely hated them. They never held a charge very well and would die before I was finished clipping. It was pretty quiet, though. |

Location: My own little world :) | Thanks! I was planning on going with a Wahl or Oster anyways. I think I had an Andis once too and it wouldn't even cut through their manes. But I bought the cheapest one I could find so I guess thats what I get for that :) |

| Andis is the bell cow in the cordless clipper world
To the poster that had trouble with them, something was most certainly wrong with that clipper.

Good to know. So if Andis is the bees knees what model do you suggest? |

Location: California | I bought these Wahl clippers last summer and absolutely love them. I bought them from TSC at a good price but this link was the first one on Google. http://www.nrsworld.com/wahl-clipper/wahl-arco-clipper-moser-horse-clipping-kit-9744
What I love about them is they only have one blade and you change the length from a 40 blade to a 10 blade very easily. I used to use the Golden A-5 where you snapped the blade off and on and now I feel totally spoiled by just sliding a little button over. I have found this feature really helpful during the winter time where I like to trim the nose wiskers short but then blend into their face hair. Also, I wouldn't hesitate to pay money for good clippers, I used my Golden A-5s for well over 15 years and they are still in excellent shape. It seems as though if you take care of them, they can last a long time. Good luck! |

| Well, guess what---I went and looked at my cordless clippers that I like so much and they ARE Andis. I have some plug-in clippers that I love and THEY are Wahl. |

Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | I had a pair of Kim Laub clippers for almost 10 years before they finally kicked the bucket this winter. LOVED them. Adjustable from #10 to #40, super quiet, and don't get hot. I used mine fairly hard, and bought mine because we had a pair at the vet clinic I worked for, and we used the crap out of them daily. Only problem is that they were almost $300!!!! But, that's for the clippers, two rechargable batteries, and the charging base. Plus, you can buy parts for them, like new blades and new batteries. I haven't replaced mine yet, and I really hate spending that kind of money, but it's going to be really hard to go to something else after having those... |
