I use an andis, I will be changing to laube very soon, My friend also has a laube and she only ever had it serviced once in 5 years. that was because of the lever drive because she didn't always have the correct blades for it.

My andis clipper has a mind of its own and doesn't leave a nice finish like the laube so thats why i'll be changing. I have tried oster and find them huge and bulky and they get hot so fast.


Are you using the laube blades? I know that keeps the lever drive working, My friend made that mistake when she first got hers. You can also buy a kit where you fit the drive yourself rather than sending it away.
