thanks for the reply. I have had a pair of the older Andis (the burgundy boxier style) that were hand-me-downs from my older sister. My biggest complaints about those are that they get too hot after clipping for only a short while and they can't handle the thicker hair as well. I've tried out some of the Andis newer models but I like the feel of the Wahl clippers better. Money isn't a big problem to me because they are a necessity for showing cattle. Just curious if anyone has tried them and if they do run cooler with the brushless motor
