This is said to be the king of clippers. You have many different options in cords. It has a two speed cord pack, a variable speed cord pack or you could go cordless. The cords are very long at 18 feet and the battery has a good run time. I have the older version now they have a lithium ion one out that charges faster, is lighter weight and lasts a little longer. That is not to say that the older version is heavy or takes a long time to charge. I would suggest getting two batteries if you want to work cordless all day. Going cordless is not cheap but it may be worth it. It can be annoying to work around cords an can cause more stress on your wrists. This is a very powerful clipper it will go through anything! That said that much power is not necessary for every groomer and it is a very expensive clipper at over $300 and then you have to add on the cordless pack and charger which will cost you over $150. You will have to decide if it is worth it to you. I like all the specs of this clipper and its light weight.That being said I don't use it much. There are many different reasons for this. One is that I only have one battery pack so I have to switch out to a plug in cord. That has nothing to do with the clipper it self I just didn't have the money at the time to get the extra battery pack. It is very loud compared to my Andis clippers. If I need to talk to someone I have to turn it off. ( this may be because of the speed?? I don't know). I also have trouble getting all my blades to work on it. The company does say that you should be able to use any clip on blade. The Laube blades work a lot better then my Andis or Oster blades. When I use this for a long time with no breaks I find that the vibration of it makes my hand go a little numb. Finally the light went out shortly after I got it, I did get it fixed by the company when I went to a convention but by the time I was back home it went out again. It is just a loose wire so I'm sure I could fix this my self.
