Performance Review:  The Oster Pro 3000i Cordless Pet Clippers with Size 10 CryogenX Blade

Living in farm country means a lot of dirt, wind and water.  We live near the canals, and out here, the weather fluctuates, at times wildly.  We can go from a beautiful mild day to scorching temperatures and blistering sun literally overnight. All of this can get to be very taxing on our dogs coats and expensive on our bank account from vet and grooming expenses.  Our dogs can also be very temperamental and fussy, so I need a unit that won’t hurt their ears or frighten them.

All of my dogs are constantly moving.  They never stop, and living in the middle of fields they find every mud pit around and all always swimming in the canal.  Their fur is always full of crusted dirt and tangled mats a constant problem, so I am always looking for a good pair of clippers that will  hold up over time.  None of my dogs ever stands still,  and they are all rescues with anxiety and stress related trust issues.  One wrong move, and I risk getting another scar.  None of my dogs any issues as far as noise, even though I had read enough reviews to think it might be a problem.  In fact, they were very curious about it, and with the amount of sniffing and licking the moving blades they did, I think they thought it was a new toy.

The fact that this unit is cordless was a huge help.  My dogs are known to dart and dash after anything that moves regardless of what we’re doing and a corded unit would have been a big issue, and it’s an issue I was completely able to avoid.  Even with all the wriggling, I was able to get all the crusted mat’s trimmed off their coats, while holding them in place so that they couldn’t run off anywhere.

Even though it’s a larger, heavier unit, and I’m pretty tiny, I didn’t have any issues with the size or weight.  In fact, I found it helpful to have a larger unit.  My spouse is larger than I am, and didn’t have any issues either.  Both of us found the unit to be very comfortable to hold while we were working with the dogs.

The lithium-ion battery pack was a great feature and a huge help.  With it lasting for two hours, it was extremely easy to get all of the dogs cleaned and trimmed without having to recharge the unit.  With as fast as my dogs can get dirty, that’s a big help.

The unit is easy to maneuver, even with dogs that move around as much as mine.  I didn’t have to adjust anything for any them.  The standard size 10 blades worked well for all of them, but other sizes are available if the need ever arises.

The unit is easy to maintain, and the blades are easy to remove to change out for another size if it every becomes an issue.

Things to Remember When Researching Which Tool to Purchase:

• Getting the right tool for the right job
• A pet owner working with only one breed like Goldendoodles will not require the same type of clippers as a pet owner working with multiple breeds.  A pet owner working with multiple breeds will not require as extensive a set as a groomer or veterinarian with a much larger group of animals to work with.
• Know your motor
• Not every situation will require the same type of motor for the unit.  Here’s a good way to know which motor will work best for you:
• Pivot Motors — high power (more strokes per minute) with a lower blade speed (these work best on coarse or matted coats)
• Rotary Motors — gives equal power and blade speed (works for most cuts and coats, best for average pet owner)  ::  This unit has a rotary motor and is perfect for most household groomers.
• Magnetic Motors — delivers lower power but higher blade speed (best for bulk trims)
• Detachable blades vs. combs
• If you’re working with multiple breeds or types of pets, using detachable blades is a great option.  If not, usually only one blade, and changing out combs dependent on fur length might be a better option.
• One Speed or Variable Speeds
• Again, this depends on your situation.  A clipper with variable speeds will allow to you easily change from the base speed (good for normal trimming) to a higher speed for quickly cutting through thick fur or mats.
• Unit weight and size
• The heavier the weight, the more durable the unit, yes.  However, not every dog will require a heavier or larger clipper.  Toy breeds, for example, are small enough that a larger unit would not be necessary.  Also, a very petite person with small hands and wrists, or the person who only grooms their pets occasionally, may want to consider a smaller unit as well to avoid wrist fatigue or cramps.
• Corded or cordless
• Corded clippers do  have the benefit of not having to worry about the battery running low and having to recharge in the middle of clipping your pets.  However, some pets are too large, or may move around too much to allow for corded clipping.  Cordless clippers have the advantage that you don’t have to stop and readjust just because your dog is moving around while you’re trying to give them a trim.
• Noise
• Noise can be a huge factor to a dog.  Their ears are far more sensitive than ours, and some clippers may just be too loud for them.  Choose your clipper with as much care for your pets hearing as you do for their fur.
• Upkeep and maintenance
• Just like any tool, clippers do require basic maintenance.  Make sure you clean out the blades regularly to keep them sharp and free from any stray fur.  Also make sure you oil them regularly to ensure that they don’t burn out over time.

13. What would you recommended, purchasing one model and all accessories from the same company?  Or would you recommended interchanging with different manufacturers? I have never had problems mixing and matching between companies, and in my case is quite useful as I work with many types of breeds and not just one.  If I worked with only one breed, then my answer may be quite different.  I require the ability to change blades for each individual dog, and it works better for me this way.

In this world where so much has gone the way of being disposable, the Oster Super AGR+ Rechargeable Detachable Blade Clipper is a refreshing change.  It is durable, long-lasting and versatile.  It is a great blade for overall long-time use, and the price is offset by the savings you’ll see over time.
