malmo, any of the professional Andis clippers should do the job. I like the AE-1's, they're reliable and powerful, but quiet enough to keep Milo calm.
Invest in good blades, and take care of them. For white dogs with fine coat I like the blades that leave as much coat as posisbel to avoid the "pink" look. Clip-on combs will make the dog patchy if you're not careful, so your best bet is to hand-scissor if you want anything longer than the "longest" blade will give you. Speaking of shears... a good starter brand is Fromm or DublDuck. A stop up would be Geib or Roseline, but they feel completely different so I'd recommend going to a dog show to test out the different shears. There are German style shears and Japanese style shears - the German shears have a crisp, precise feel - they "schwing" if that makes sense. Japanese shears, on the other hand, have micro-serrations on the blades that grabt he hai and cut with startling sharpness. They "voosh" instead of "schwing" - it's like cutting air, or butter.
My person preference is German, although I do have a few pairs of Roselines (which are primarily Japanese style). My favorite shears are an ancient pair of Andre Tisserand's though.
