HIGHLY RECOMMENDED/OUTSTANDING
+ Exceptional quality - built to last! But for the high price of the blades this machine would have received the GOLD Star rating!
- Expensive blade prices especially in the higher mm range.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Probably the best dog-grooming clipper made as far as quality and long levity are concerned.
German made product engineered to perfection, as one would expect from one of the top German manufacturer, which is why it has the reputation for reliability especially as a professional dog parlour clipper.
The innovative design and attractive style of the slim shaped handpiece, incorporates a combination of balance and lightness, to ensure the operator precision clipping to the highest standards. We particularly like the side positioned "on-off" switch for easy and safe operation.
A number of features lift this machine into a superior category, including the ball bearing universal motor, which provides great durability and long life, with almost total vibration free running. The ventilation system eliminates aspects of overheating, ensuring suitability for prolonged use. The air filter can be easily cleaned and the motor is encased in an unbreakable casing.
The Aesculap Favorita II is also an excellent choice for clipping Angora Goats and Rabbits. The GT746 blade is recommended for use on both goats and rabbits. Fitted with a wide blade it has the potential to clip any nervous horse!

+ This is another impressive Andis clipper, which is making a considerable "impression" in the UK dog market.
- The wide blade was disappointing. The locking device for on/off switch is a bit of a fiddle.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Compact, well engineered, and professional, with design features incorporating an attractive slim shaped handpiece gives a combination of balance and lightness, to ensure the operator a comfortable clipping operation.
Identical to the AGC two-speed model, but with just the single speed, which operates at a very respectable 2700 cutting strokes per minute this is a professional clipper totally at home in any busy grooming parlour conditions. Equally an excellent choice for any dog owner who is involved in semi serious clipping of breeds such Spaniels, Poodles or Terrier breeds.
Blade attachment is easy to operate, smooth and crisp. Under prolonged use the motor remains cool running, with an acceptable noise level and little vibration, making this clipper a good choice for any really busy dog-grooming parlour. Cleaning and servicing the head has been made easy by good and thoughtful design. Low maintenance is a feature of this machine. Locking device for on/off switch is a bit of a fiddle and slightly annoying. The on/off switch position is just about accessible in an emergence situation; we would have preferred it higher up!
The current Andis blade range offers one of the most comprehensive for most grooming situations. Those considering making a change of machine will find the Andis AGC single speed equally at home with Oster or indeed most other detachable blades. We really would like to see clippers of this quality supplied in hard cases

+ One of the more reliable. An innovative design with many attractive features and a very good range of blades
- A number of annoying problems which should have been sorted at the factory gate!" On/off switch inaccessible in an emergency. Infuriating case which is a struggle to get it all back in!
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
The Laube 513 is identical to the 503 model, except that it has a variable speed motor rather than two speeds. The variable speed facility allows for you to set the speed at which you wish to clip at any time by turning a knob situated at the rear. This can be a useful facility when confronted with variations in hair texture. An important feature of these machines is the constant cool running ability even under prolonged use.
Laube clippers have a long history of often small, but highly annoying problems. Costs can escalate with repairs and therefore they are really not for "Widows and orphans!" We are told these have been re-dressed, and there is some evidence to suggest that is the case, but other faults then occur and as a result one sees too many Laube clippers back for repairs. Some of the problems in fairness is end-user carelessness and neglect, but a fair degree is down to the manufacturer.
The slogan on the packaging "World Class" might seem - ambitious! This is all very regrettable as this is a range of clipper, which could have swept the animal clipping world if only they performed in a more reliable manner. Hence the fact we are reluctant to award a higher rating.
Ultra light, and comfortable to the handle they can afford the operator effortless clipping. Low noise level, thus ideal for any nervous animal, particularly horses. Laube clippers incorporate the detachable "snap-on" blade technology, which avoids fiddling about aligning both the cutter and comb. The blade unit, already pre-tensioned, slides on to a protruding tongue, which then is snapped shut.
Both the Laube 503 and 513 models can be up graded to cordless status with the purchase of a quick charger and battery pack providing even greater flexibility.

+ Once the universally the dog clipper for grooming parlours and owners of breeds who need serious clipping
- Over heating problems. Very "dated" handpiece" Serious competition from other better products. Sold without blade!
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Once the benchmark of the dog groomer's clippers, however unfortunately both time and the "competition" have caught up and in the case of the latter - cruised past! Constant overheating problems have not helped the situation either! With growing discontent of the overheating problems, and the availability of other often better machines their market status has been badly eroded.
Despite the current problems of overheating and being rather "dated" one has to recognise that they are still used in their thousands in many countries and that they have pioneered the dog grooming blades and still offer a pretty good blade range, although Andis now has the edge. Other than the overheating, and end user abuse, they are generally fault free!
Reasonably lightweight and compact, the handpiece is not as slim nor as comfortable as others are in its class. The powerful 35-watt motor copes with all parlour-clipping tasks. Blade attachment is a crisp and smooth operation, with few problems with the latch assembly. The newer models have introduced double side air filter ventilation, no doubt as an attempt to reduce existing over heating problems.
Potential customer should note that Oster clippers are generally always sold without a blade. Infuriating as it may be! - Especially if you are not aware, and having rushed home to try out the new "purchase" on the family hound, only to find you are …bladeless! We are told it is done this way because what ever blade was added would not suit all needs! Funny - but most manufacturer's making dog clippers sells them with a blade! (Agreed - Aesculap also don't on their Favourita!)
