How does this compare to the andis 21420? Seems like a better price as it includes 3 blades, and the 21420 has only 1.

Hello, Sorry I took so long to respond. I am not familiar with the 21420 model, so I wouldn't know, but this clipper has been great. I have a Lhasa Apso (hair is thick and fine) it is hard to get through his hair. The Andis clipper makes it easy to pick the correct blade. I have had to clipper him since June about 5-6 times already (his hair grows, not sheds). I would recommend this clipper based on its performance alone. I bought it because I saw a groomer at Petsmart using one! The clipper does get hot quickly, but its little with a little motor - keep it oiled and it will keep on going!

I'm very happy with my Andis clipper, and you can't go wrong with what the kit contains. Just make sure blades are kept well oiled.

two different types of steel for the blades. the one you are looking at has aus 8a. the other one is san mai 3. the san mai 3 is supposedly a better steel. I have owned one of each. I loved the aus 8a, but wanted to try the san mai 3. That being said, I haven't had the san mai 3 long enough to tell you that it truly is better, but for the slight price difference I would recommend you go with the san mai 3. Did quite a bit of reading on it, and it appears to be the better blade. (I'm not sorry I upgraded so far)

I personally like this Andis trimmer with the T Blades as they let you see what your cutting better with the wide blades ... They cut exactly the same the only difference being the Professional 04603 Outliner II Personal Trimmer can have Guides attached to it and the T Blade trimmer cannot . Its really just a matter of personal Preference

I received 1 blade with my razor...I thought the blade that came with it was a good blade.... Blades take on a life of their own as it does come down to a personal choice. As everyone has slightly different whiskers. I ended up buying 100 blades of Derby Extra after reading reviews and finding a great price...I really like these blades... They were $7.99 including shipping. You can buy a combination (sampler) pack and try many different blades if you'd like. Or you can read the reviews on blades and choose as I did. Enjoy!!!

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades.

I was wondering the same and also that given the fact that both have the same motor, I was wondering if the 4th blade would hit the overall performance. But since JR felt it even a bit quicker then all seems to be ok.Thanks both!+Alfredo

I haven't had to reorder new blades but just wondering because I've almost made this mistake ok...they put different brands together with Andis so you really need to be sure your ordering for the Clipper you have..like I said I almost ordered a certain blade only to realize it was for Wahl brand so that could be your problem....hope this helped you out :)

that is a question of preference. I do use all three blades, but the large blade gets the most use. as far as bulk goes I don't notice it . But it all boils down to your preference in the end.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.

Do not believe you can buy a replacement blade anymore, company went out of business a few years back. But, another did buy the leftover inventory and had some units for sale, you have to buy the complete unit. I got another last YEAR, WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

I asked the same question at Sally's Beauty Supply prior to purchasing my Andis clipper & they said both clippers are the same with only difference being the width of the blade. However I would contact Andis customer service at 1-800-558-9441 & they can give you a definite answer.

Assuming they haven't made any improvement in the blades, just added more power to the motor, the 1.5 amps in extra current is worth about one-fifth of an extra horsepower over the 13.5 amp model. Seems like a bit much when the price is 40% more for just a 10% increase in power. For what its worth, I own an SJ620 from 4 years back, and love it. Not sure if I would have gone for a more powerful model if it had been available at that time.

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

From the Andis company, I was told that the 21485 was blue and the 65785 was purple. I am going to check to make sure that they both are detachable blades. That is one of the differences I have found with other Andis razors. But, I believe that they are identical. Oh, I forgot, they both have steel blades and not the Ceramic. To order one with a ceramic #10 blade included, it is Andis 21420. The identical clipper MGB2 model number is the same for all 3 of these razors.

I don't have the plus, but I think that this is a newer model with some additional 'ease of use' functions like the push button adjustable blade. I would think that they both slice the same, but I don't know how many people would own both to know.

They have 2 blades. I have 3 of them. 2 blades are best.. 3 tend to get bogged down. I have never seen just 1 blade.
