Review of Remington MB30 Corded/Cordless Beard & Moustache Trimmer

Having had a heavy beard for 20 years, I highly endorse this trimmer!

This is the latest of three generations of Remington beard trimmers for me. Its predecessor where good products; they just wore out. This item is true to Remington's past high quality and more so.

Less than a minute beard and mustache trim gives a very even, virtually effortless cut.


Product Description
The innovative design and superior features of the Precision Cordless Rechargeable Beard & Mustache Trimmer make for precise, consistent trimming every time. The Precision Cordless Trimmer is and advanced cutting system that provides superior performance and features the distinctive "Zoom Wheel" length adjuster, which locks in settings fore precise results.The trimmer's self-sharpening, stainless steel blades assure long-lasting and precise performance. Plus the "Lube for Life" blades never need oiling.This unit has an adjustable comb guide with 9 pre-set lengths that makes it easy to get the look you want,anywhere from stubble to full beard. The MB30 Precision Cordless also has a hinged cutting element that swings out for easy cleaning.

Review of Remington R-9190 Microflex 800 Rechargeable/Corded Men's Rotary Shaver

I would skip buying this razor or any Remington Razor.It shaves very close, but the shaver will not hold a charge.When I was reviewing other Remington shavers on line there was a common complaint "it doesn't hold a charge".I never had a problem with Braun, but I wanted to try a rotory blade because everyone says they shave closer.

Well I tried another brand and now I will go back to Braun and hope the new ones shave a little closer. Now I am in a really bad situation, because I am in Afghanistan it can't really return it so I just lost $68.00.

What is the lesson, stay with what you know is good, and to me that is Braun.

Please skip this one, it will save you a lot of problems.

Review of Remington MPT-3500 Dual Blade Precision Detail Trimmer

This product didn't work from day one. We sent it back at OUR expense and they returned it saying it worked fine. We tried it again and it still didn't work. We finally threw it away. And we will never do business again with that company.

Review of Remington R9500 R-9500 Self-Cleaning Smart Shaver (factory refurbished)

if your like me and have a thick beard.Men with peach fuzz faces can use almost any electric razor but if you have the type of beard I have, normal electric razors just don't cut it.The motor spins about twice as fast as a similar Norelco model and the titanium heads mow down hair with the greatest of ease.Shaving with this razor is sooooo easy on your face, you'll love this razor the first time you use it.
The Smart system is another thing that I love about this razor.It cleans, charges and lubricates the razor all at the same time.No hassle and no worries, one full charge on the battery will last you about ten days.
The adapter is dual voltage, which is important if you're a traveler or if you're like me, in the military and never knowing what country I'll be in next.
It's a little bit expensive, but it's worth it.If you're going to spend a hundred dollars, may as well spend a few more and get the best there is.This would make a great gift for almost any special occasion.

Review of Remington R-400 MicroFlex 400 Titanium Shaving System

I've had this razor for traveling for about 1.5 years. So far its very good even compared to my Norelco 9190XL which is a much expensive razor. The norelco sometimes pulls while the remington cuts really close and even long beard is notpulled. Nice surprise from Remigton as I was quite exceptic about the quality when I got it and now I am keeping it and thinking on replacing the Norelco!!

Review of Remington BHT-2000 High Precision Men's Body Hair Groomer

This review will compare the benefits and disadvantages of the Remington BHT-2000 and the Norelco Bodygroom for shaving the groin.I purchased the Bodygroom earlier this year and have a review of it on Amazon from around the first or second week of February.

To begin, I find the Remington to be more solidly built than the Bodygroom. Plus, the Remington's smaller design makes it easier to maneuver around the groin area than the Bodygroom for trimming that area.Advantage: Remington.

Secondly, I find the trimming capability of the Remington to be better than the Bodygroom.What I don't like about the Norelco is that is comes with flimsy detachable heads to use for trimming.I like how the Remington has a dial-type head (similar to what you see in most beard trimmers) in which you can choose from 5 setting for hair trimming.Advantage: Remington

Thirdly, I found the shaving capability of the Remington to be quite poor compared to the Norelco.For either unit, it is recommended to trim the hair to the lowest setting before attempting to shave using the foil head.If you don't trim the hair first to as short as possible, the shaving head on each unit will not be able to shave the hair properly.Getting back to the review...the Remington dual head shaver attachment is unsatisfactory.It does not shave as close as the Norelco foil head, nor is it as irritation free as the Norelco foil head.I used the foil head on the Remington as gently as possible on both my testicles and part of the shaft, and I felt a stinging razor burn on two separate occasions.Eee-yowch. This did not happen with the Norelco Bodygroom.Advantage: Norelco.

I would recommend that if you plan to simply trim your groin area, then your best bet is to go with the Remington as it is the better trimmer.If your desire is to shave your groin area as smooth as possible with an electric instrument, than your best bet is to go with the Norelco Bodygroom as it is the better shaver.Please understand, however,that even with the Norelco being used as a shaver, you will not experience a shave as close as you would by using a blade.

Based on my experience, I find trimming the groin area to be the way to go instead of shaving the area.In order to keep the groin region hair free, you would have to shave that area every day.I find I can get by with trimming that area to a very short length once a week to keep it rather well maintained.



Product Description
The BHT-2000 is for all your body zones and has 2 tools in 1! The titanium coated trimmer is great for areas where you want the hair trimmed. The dual-foil shaver gives you a smooth, shaved surface. These two different tools will give you precise results and a well-groomed body! This product has a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 2 year full warranty.

Review of Remington R-950 Titanium Rotary MicroFlex Cord/Cordless Mens Shaver

I wasn't sure what to make of all these conflicting reviews but I needed a shaver and this shaver represented a pretty good value. I took a chance and I don't regret it.

Having switched from straight edge to electric in the past, I knew my skin needed to adjust to the new treatment. Right in the box from Remington is a red warning tag that says exactly that. The first few shaves were rough ... my skin felt and looked raw in a few patches. Not a good experience and frankly it's what I suspect most of the negative reviews here are based on. However, having made this transition in the past I was intent on completing the adjustment.

Well, it's been two weeks and shaves are fine. Better than fine, the shaves are very close leaving a wonderfully smooth face. The irritation is almost completely gone and really only appears when I'm too vigorous on parts of my neck with tender skin. I consider this more my fault than the shaver's.

Electric shaving isn't for everyone. Furthermore, there are shavers which will treat skin more tenderly but not produce as close a shave. Given the variety of faces and shavers there is no "one size fits all". However, if you like rotary electric shaving, you don't have overly sensitive skin, and you want a really smooth close result then you should consider this shaver.

Review of Remington MS2-290 Microscreen 300 Rechargeable Men's Shaver

I thought I was buying a duplicate of the shaver that was stolen from my motel room when I was on a business trip.The one I had to replace was very good, but this one is even better.

I have a very tough beard (I typically use the electric shaver before taking a shower, then a traditional hot lather-and-blade shave afterwards).This shaver gives me a close enough shave that I really don't need to use the blade to have a better-than-passable shave.In addition, the charge seems to last forever.

After decades of using Norelcos, I highly recommend this model Remington.

Product Description
This shaver has 2 titanium microscreens with ComforTech contour technology. It features a clean shave washable design and 3 position pop-up trimmer for precise trimming and hard to cut hairs. It is rechargeable and has a charging indicator light and 60 minute run time. It comes with a deluxe travel pouch, cleaning brush and operates on worldwide voltage.

Review of Remington HC-600 High Precision Washable Hair Clipper Kit

My husband loves this. Can get a good clean hair shave in the shower, which makes life that much easier since there is no cleanup of fuzzy hair bits all over the floor. Cordless and waterproof features are wonderful. Product is sleek and well built. Good supply of attachments. Battery lasts a long time. Good price here on Amazon, plus free shipping. It'll pay for itself in 2 shaves since a trip to the barber is $15 here in New York. You can't beat that.

Product Description
This is a premium styling tool for the sophisticated groomer.It features Titanium coated blades for revolutionary trimming technology, durability and it is washable.It can be used either with or without the cord.It includes: 8 guide combs, storage bag, 3 sectioning clips, scissors, neck brush, cleaning brush, oil and instruction book.It is a premium hair clipper that can be used in the shower!

Review of Remington MS-5100 Titanium MicroScreens 700 Rechargeable Shaver

Received the razor and it gives an outstanding, comfortable and close shave, better than my prior Remington.

However, it is NOT "Cord/Cordless" as advertised.It will not run while connected to the cord (it will only charge), and the manual clearly says that ONLY the 5200 is cord and cordless.

As I am living overseas, the fact that it only will work with 110V is also a pain.I thought all manufacturers were now making their charging transformers to accept 110 or 220V.Oh, well, that's what adapters are for.

Despite bad reviews I have heard on the 5200, others I know have the 5200, and happy with it and it has none of the shortcomings of the 5100.
As long as you don't need 220V and can live with having to keep it charged (it has no charge remaining indicator, unlike the 5200) it's fine.However, if I had to do it over again, I would buy the 5200.

Product Description
Remington's most innovative shaver!Introducing the shaver innovations from the MS-5500 without the cleaning base.World's Only shaver with 3 Titanium Microscreens!It features a pop-up mini foil for precise results in even the tightest spots, beard-lifting comfort fins, and Remington's special ComforTech contour technology and a CleanShave washable design.

Review of Remington R-845 Microflex Rotary Shaver

I bought this model because I'd had 2 of these that, together, lasted me about 12 years. They changed the design a bit, and it often stops working, even when it's fully charged, but starts up again when I shake it. Weird!?

Product Description
With three rotary cutting heads that float independently and more blades than ordinary rotary shavers, the MicroFlex delivers a fast, smooth, cordless shave. The shaver has a pop-up trimmer for mustache and sideburns and works worldwide on 110- to 240-volt systems. A 14-hour charge delivers two to three weeks of shaving time. The MicroFlex fits the hand comfortably and comes in a travel pouch. Remington offers a 30-day, full-refund, satisfaction guarantee and warranties the shaver for two years against defects.

Review of Remington NE-4 Wet Dry Nose & Ear Trimmer

I've had this product for about a year (used it only when desperate).I purchased it at a local store for about the same price on Amazon.You should probably steer clear of this product, as it is difficult to get it to cut hair adequately with it's straight blade design.It often left hair a length that was still too long, but it couldn't cut due to it's design.It also smells kind of wierd, like a mix of mineral oil and raw steel.I'm going with a newer one today that landed in my gold box.Sorry Remington, it just didn't "Cut-It".

Review of Remington Titanium MicroScreen Shaver - MS5100

Closest shave I have ever had from an electric shaver. I owned a Braun before this one.

The Mini-Foil that pops up is great at cutting hard to shave areas, but is very noisy when used. Once Mini-Foil is put back down it is more quiet. Just rinse under running hot water when done to clean.

Remington's Rotary is too irritating for my skin as are other rotary shavers I have used. Foil shavers are the way to go.

Only Negative I found was noise from the Mini-Foil popup.

Review of Remington R-225 MicroFlex 200 Corded Men's Rotary Shaver

Review of Remington R-200 Microflex 200 Corded Shaving System

Remington R-200 is a very decent shaver.Unlike Norelco "lift and cut" systems, it does not claim to give you the "closest shave possible".It simply provides you with a clean and comfortable shave without stripping the skin off your face.Another advantage of this product is that it has 2 foil rings on each rotary head, effectively doubling their shaving area.Blades stay sharp for a very long time.

This is a corded (non-chargeable shaver), which means it works instantly at full power when plugged into the outlet.Chargeable shavers at this price range can only run at peak performance when their batteries are fully charged.When out of charge, these shavers quit working altogether, even if plugged into the outlet.

It should also be noted that this product does not come with a travel pouch.Remington R-225 is a shaver identical to this one, except that it comes with a pouch.Some outlets have been discounting R-225 lately to the point that it has become a better deal than R-200.

Verdict: excellent shaver at this price range.

Review of Remington R-1000 Powerclean Titanium Cord/Cordless Men's Shaving System

I bought this shaver, because it looked like a good shave, and I liked the idea of having a cleaning system with it.The cleaing system was its downfall for me though.The cleaing solution ate away at the finish on the top of the shaver.This was only about two months after I had the shaver.I sent it back to Remington, and they sent me a new one, that one only lasted about two months too, before the finish got all bad again.This time they didn't have any more of the R-1000, so they sent m a lesser one, but with two sets of replacement blades to make up the diffrence.The real downfall with this is they just relied on the shaver to air dry, unlike the Braun I had before which had a fan to get it dry.The solution just sat on the razor and ate away at the finish.The one thing I can say is that the customer service at Remington is excellent, but the shaver is not.
