My dad has used the Flobee with much success for many years. When he gets a new one, they use the old one on the dogs!
I, on the other hand, think you can't go wrong with Wahl. Our's burned out about 2 years ago in the middle of my husband's haircut! I ran out to the drug store and bought a Clairol trimmer. It was a waste of money, but now I am stuck with it. You can buy Wahl at Walmart.
