I have Oster hair clippers. What is the best plan for good maintenance?

I would like to keep the clippers at their best. I have Oster 76. They don't cut as well as they did originally.

you need to find out when you local beauty supply is having a sharpening day. And keep them well oiled with oster oil. Clean them after every use, and don't store them anywhere where there is any dampness.

Oster 78005-010 Golden A5 Single-Speed Clippers | Natural Dog

It is critical to notice that none of the reviews for the Oster A5 were conducted by people who have owned the clippers for more than a few months. Having used them to clip several cats over the summer, I have spent hours of frustration fighting them. They become hot quickly, and cooling them down requires 20 minutes of non-use. You maybe have 6 minutes of clipping interspersed with 20 minutes of cooling. This is uniquely frustrating because you must hang out with an aggrevated cat while suffering from cat hair envelopment. Clearly, they are American made. Only lazy, socialist, union-loving Americans could get away with producing such a low quality product.

All the previous comments agree with our experience. Sometimes it cuts, usually it doesn’t. Repeated trips to repair services, and frequent blade sharpening (every third clip of a small dog) and it still doesn’t work. Do not buy an Oster. There’s something fundamentally wrong in the engineering. It makes a lot of noise, scares the dog, burns your hand (yes, it gets awfully hot) and fails in its basic purpose.
