Hello, I would like to buy some good quality clippers for my two cockers and am looking for recommendations, pros and cons please.

I've had Oster Golden and Andis Ultra edge.  Much prefer the Andis as they're much quieter and lighter.  I have the single speed, with cord.  But you do get cordless, and I think the ultra edge now only come in twin speed models.  I'd definitely recommend the Andis.  I'd suggest going into a shop, if possible, and handling different models so you have an idea of weight and noise.

I have Andis two speed clippers. I've never had any others to compare against but have been pleased with them. I bought them from Diamond Edge. When the wire wore away I sent them back to be repaired and had a bit of a nightmare with their customer service,  however, it was sorted in the end and the repairs and sharpening were good.

I use a Moser cordless which is light and sits easy in my hand. (I only clip chin and ears though, so didn‘t need a heavy duty one). Agree with Emily about trying out first  if you can, the first ones I bought online were with a cord and being a complete novice, I couldn‘t get along with them at all.
