I am looking to replace the pair of clippers I use and am looking for recommendations from anyone who has some experience with different types. What do you recommend and why? Does anyone have any feedback on what clippers to stay away from and why? What are your thoughts on cordless?
Thanks for your help.

I went from Sunbeam/Oster clippers to a new set of Wahl. The Sunbeam went, and went like a little trojan for years, they were noisy and became very hot in the end, as their parts wore out they interferred with the performance of the blade but for overall life they were excellent.
The Wahl were much quieter and I found the blades to be smoother and freer flowing. The blades were the same as they were interchangeable with the clippers, which is another swaying point, as blades cost around Aus$50 +. As I was running my own business I did not go for cordless as they were not heavy duty enough. Depends if you are just clipping one dog 2-3 times a year or running a business.

I love my labs.

Andis. They cost more, but they are a professional tool with lots of nice blades to choose from.
Here is a site I like for reference to the blades:

I have used oster and am now using andis. Both are good quality clippers, the andis however are less expensive.
These are both commerical clippers avoid the sets you see that have the plastic clipper blades, metal blades are the way to go.
