Bought Masterclip clipper set for labradoodle and I was not disappointed with the quality, I bought this set after having bought a cheap clippers to see if our dog would allow us to clip him. After 4 clippings with the cheap one which was a bit of a chore to do we decided to buy a more expensive and professional clippers. These clippers are brilliant and we clipped our dog in a lot less time than with the cheap ones. The instructions could be better for changing the blades but Masterclip does a video on YouTube which was helpful. This was an expensive purchase to which we only made after trialing our dog first. The clippers and blades all come in a strong plastic case. Best purchase we've made and you get what you pay for. Can't comment on reliability as we've only done 1 clipping so far so will have to wait and see how the next couple of years go as they come with a 2 year warranty.
