we had a topissime babyliss quon used 7 years !!!! Unfortunately it made the soul. Since we went through a philipps a jl david, a babyliss ... and always the same problem: if wrong load, and each time the need to use the "boost" button that does not work terrible whatever the brand. A friend pro advised us to take a panasonic (I knew mostly for TV) ... since it is a true happiness. it lacks some parameters can be as setup of blades but in fact quon, so a haircut of 3 kitties and mine (Asian) hooves enough and cuts are done in 5 minutes instead of 20-30 minutes.
