The machine through the eyes of a groomer.

This machine is relatively new, has been produced for a maximum of 2 years. As I understand it, this is a response to the closest competitor of WAHL to the release of the KM-10 machine with a new brushless motor. As the name implies, this is a continuation of the development of the legendary AGC2 machine, which has been successfully produced for many years. AGC2 is really a super stunner, a very successful project, its only minus is the extra weight due to the massive rotary motor. The new AGCB is an order of magnitude lighter , you can't call it heavy anymore, the plastic has become a little different to the touch, not so "soft", you can say that it is a little "cheaper" or "simpler", but this does not interfere. The machine is less powerful , the new brushless motor generates 24 watts versus 35 watts in the classic AGC2, but this power is enough. The sound of the engine has changed, in my opinion in the "regular" AGC2 it is more pleasant than in this machine. The AGCB has a powerful adapter that was not in the standard machine, which made it possible to reduce the mass of the machine itself.

Manufacturers claim that switching to multiple engines increases the machine's service life in working hours , but since these machines are new - (AGCB, SMC2 and KM10), we cannot verify this in 2020, we can only take their word for it because they have not been on the market for very long.

You shouldn't be afraid of the ceramic knife in the kit - it really heats up less and holds its sharpness perfectly, the main thing is not to miss it. In addition, it costs at least 1000 UAH, you are unlikely to want to buy it separately. The 1.5 mm knife is too long for hygiene, but it is good for cutting cats. When cutting cats, it is important to monitor the temperature of the knife, so ceramics "fit" just fine.
