#1 Andis Agc Super 2-Speed Professional Clippers
Great quality, they cut well and they run incredibly quiet – what isn’t to love? We’ve used cheaper quality dog clippers and they’re no where near the quality of these dog clippers. Cheaper dog clippers are a false economy and should be avoided. These professional clippers are fantastic, with a great cutting motor and are unrivaled.
The Andis dog clippers are fantastic for variety. They come with two-speed choices (330 and 4000 strokes per minute) and they’re available in many different colours.
Wonderful for poodle grooming because of their low noise and low vibration, meaning even nervous dogs can handle the dog grooming process.
We rate these as our number 1 best poodle hair trimmers on our round up! Check out our in-depth review of the Andis 2 speed clippers.
Clippers For Poodles

- intelligent
- loyal
- trainable
- active and
- instinctual, learning commands and tricks very quickly.
Their coats also don’t shed as much as other breads. However (there’s always a however), the one downside of the poodle breed is their need to be groomed regularly! This means that most poodle owners will regularly visit a dog groomer every 6 weeks or so (the money spent will quickly add up), meaning it may be more cost effective to purchase a pair of clippers to groom your poodle at home.
