What are the differences between professional, consumer, and animal clippers?

Professional products are designed primarily for use in professional settings such as hair salons, barbershops, and pet grooming salons, and are built to withstand daily use. Consumer products are designed primarily for occasional home use. Animal clippers and trimmers are very similar to consumer products. The main difference between a human and an animal clipper is the type of blade and motor used. Typically, animal clippers have thicker, more durable blades designed to better handle different types of animal coats.
