So far so great!Sep 28, 2007
By Jonathan Burger
I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years, and I have a pretty simple style (high and tight -- kind of like a Marine cut). I've had 2 other clippers prior to this, and this is the best one yet. As the prior review states, the clipper is ceramic and moves against a steel comb. The primary advantage I find is that these clippers don't get nearly as hot as my old clippers did after 20 minutes of cutting.
As far as cutting close, I use the bare blade (no add'l or different combs used) right on my scalp and I don't think I could get any closer without using a razor. My head feels like the stubble on your chin at the end of the day. The disassembly has been fine, and the unit is easy to clean. The cord is nice and long, and seems to have plenty of power and sharpness for anything I need. I love it, and would buy again!

This is the same as the Andis 21420 and 21485Jan 08, 2011
By K. Bess
This is a great clipper. The ability to swap out the shaver head is genius. I shave my head bald and the Andis #00000 blade works great and does not cause irritation.
The Andis 21420 and the Andis 21485 are the same unit as this shaver, they're just intended to be used as a pet shaver and so they're $15 to $20 less money.
I'm not sure why you would want to completely disassemble the shaver blade, there's no reason to. Don't unscrew anything to clean the blades, read the instruction manual it shows how to remove the blade assembly. It's quite easy to clean everything.
The blades are brittle because they are tempered, which makes them stay sharp for a very long time. A softer non-tempered blade will not be brittle but will be more malleable and will dull much quicker. There is always a trade-off with knifes between how hard the blade is vs how brittle. This is true for any blade, scissor, chefs knife, hunting knife, etc.
The reason that only one of the blades is ceramic is because only one of them has to be ceramic, it serves to reduce the friction of steel on steel. The lower blade is steel because steel handles stresses a lot better than ceramic, the ceramic wold crack if you torqued those screws on there. There is some heat from friction but the coefficient of friction for ceramic on steel is less than for steel on steel.

better than any Walmart or Target Or K-Mart clippers for saleJan 10, 2010
By K. Becker
Cost a whole 5 dollars more than the cheap crap out there. These stay cool while cutting & they cut without binding up or getting stuck in thick hair. Buy one of these & it will be the last unit you will need to buy.

Andis Professional Ceramic Advanced ClipperJan 25, 2011
By OakCliff214
These clippers are a very good investment, and also the power cable is very durable. With these clippers you can actually give yourself a pretty good haircut, i use these to cut my own hair. I have every ceramic blade from 00000 to 3 1/2. I have had this clippers since December and they have not failed me one. Nice and quiet, and they also have the metal loop so that you can hang them up. Easy to use and easy to maintain. Every barber needs these clippers.

Excellent valueJun 07, 2011
By Joseph Trombetta
For thick hair this is the best for your dollar.
Rotary motor is the most power you can get in a clipper.
Makes short work of haircuts on even the thickest mane.
One-piece ceramic blade set gives you the best cut with no need to adjust the blade.
Blade removes easily for cleaning or quick interchanges to another blade set.
Excellent for a demanding home user.
