"It looked great and was easy to use, but it died after just under 10 minutes of use. Was not able to get it to work again. Unfortunately, I will have to return it."

"Do the math: If your horse is cooperative, then you can pay for clippers easily in one season. I have a Fell-pony-of-a-hairy beast-Friesian, so I need power! I tried the gold standard Oster clippers and they did a great job, but the heft, vibration and noise bothered me - my horse didn't really care. So I read the reviews and decided to try the Lister Star Clippers.
Pros: Light-weight, quiet, easy to use, clips very quickly, evenly, powerful; has a wrist strap so if the clipper slips from your hand you won't drop it
I did a trace body clip involving full neck, chest and part of his trunk in about 45 minutes.
Cons: Despite claims blades run cool, I found they ran quite hot and did not cool easily; you need to use a blade cooler; clipper motor and blades require light machine oil every 10 minutes so horse hair sticks on everything because of oil transfers- I thought it was quite messy. A hoof brush was handy to clean the clipper often. Finally, Lister Star Clippers require special blades and if you chip them, the clippers may not run at all - you might want a spare blade on hand - an added cost."

"These are a great pair of clippers. They stayed relatively cool and ate up my horse's thick hair like it was nothing. And it left her velvety soft! They are easy to use and much lighter and quieter than some of the huge clippers, but work just as well (if not better). They are also easier to hold on to for people with little hands like me!"

"I bought these clippers for my very hairy draft cross. He needs to be body clipped a few times from fall to summer and these clippers were up to the task! Worked quickly and smoothly. Not too heavy, and didn't get too hot. Also price was much more reasonable than similar clippers. Would definitely recommend!"

"I've been clipping horses for 25 years and have used all the brands. I was recently looking for a lighter pair of big clippers that would also cut well. I bought the Lister Star clippers and they are wonderful! Light in the hand, no lines on the horse, and very easy to hand. I oil and dip the blades frequently to keep them running cool. The fine blades cut very close, so I only use the medium blades. I highly recommend these clippers."

"I bought these clippers to use the first time that I clipped my horse. He had been clipped by a friend about 10 years ago, but had not been body clipped since. These clippers were easy for a beginner-clipper to use, and they did a great job! My horse tolerated them well because they are quieter than most clippers. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!"

"I have researched and decided to purchase these clippers. I can't say enough good things about them. They are quieter than most and are so lightweight, which makes them so easy to manuever. They did a wonderful job on my pony!!"

"These are the best body clippers I have ever used. They are speedy, relatively quiet, and stay cool. They are easy to clean, cut quickly and accurately, and are maneuverable enough to clip everywhere except around the eyes/ears, and the tendon areas of the lower legs. The blades are awesome too, I have done 6 full clips on one set of blades, and the blades are still sharp. I rave about these clippers to anyone who will listen!"

"I have used the big sunbeam and oster clippers for years. I purchased these clippers and will never go back to my heavy models. They are lightweight and my small hands do not cramp up , even when clipping my large draft crosses. A great clipper for women."

"I bought these last season and have used them a total of 5 times on my horse so far. They are lightweight, easy to handle and quiet. My horse gets lots of compliments on his haircut. I don't know if they would hold up to clipping multiple horses a day, but for the occasional clip, they are great!"

"I clip horses for people in the winter, and a good pair of clippers are a must. These worked ok for a while. I only got through 6 horses before they quit working. I found out it was the motor, and didn't bother getting them fixed. They didn't clip that well in the first place."

Love them!

"After researching clippers, I bought these to use on all the horses at my barn...as my second pair. Now NO ONE will use the first--I might as well only own one pair of clippers. They are THE BEST. Perfect job every time, comfortable to use, and the horses love them, too. I'm selling my old ones, and getting another pair of Star Clippers."
