Decent unit with one main gripe.
By Eric on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017
Shaver as a whole works pretty good, longevity is still to be determined as I've only had this a few weeks. The feel of it is pretty solid. Its a minimalist design without a ton of extra stuff. Battery is much better than my ancient old dying shaver that this replaced. I like that you can toggle height with a scrolling mechanism on the unit. I always lose stuff so having it be just a few pieces is nice for me. My main gripe is detaching the attachments. If you look near the top of the unit above where the word Remington ends, there is a button there that will release the attachments. It is located right where it is covered by whatever attachment you are trying to release. So when you adjust the attachment all the way up on its way to the release point, the bottom of the attachment nearly covers the button. This drives me insane as I have to try and shove something in between the shaver and the attachment to be able to press hard enough to get the attachment to release. I don't have big fingers either. Then when you do finally get it to release, it also releases the main shaver and they both fall off. 1st world problems... I know. Otherwise this unit is solid. Added bonus, the brush feels like heaven on my beard. I never knew these brushes worked so well for beards. I can't comment on the scissors, it went into a drawer in one of my bathrooms and that's likely where it'll stay... poor thing. Overall, love the brush and the shaver works great until you need to remove an attachment. EDIT: 12/30/17 So I just shaved and ran to the computer to change my review. You do not need to push the button I was complaining about in order to remove attachments, they pull off without it. The button is for if you want to detach the main shaving mechanism only. I got confused because the attachments take a little wiggling and didn't want to break anything so I thought pushing the button was the way to go. Changed from 3 to 5 stars.

Its RAW. Except when it isnt.
By Sam on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017
I had been madly hunting for ONE machine that trims beard to the longest settings WITHOUT having a hundred attachments while at the same time be able to deliver crispy clean outlines. I thought it was love at first sight on this trimmer. Thanks to brilliant marketing and raving reviews, so confidant I was of having finally hit a jackpot that I even announced to my barber that I have found the perfect trimmer there ever is. This was before I recieved the trimmer. I even went ahead and ordered the burnt brown, titanium finish model for sixty bucks ‘knowing’ that THIS IS IT. Here is my take.. PROS: - Looks & feels beautiful. Like a sculpture in hands. RAW. As Gordan Ramsey would say. - Trims quite neat - Big plus on holding charge. It came fully charged and I havent charged it once in my 3-4 uses. - Beard brush + scissors useful additions. CONS: - Design flaw. The removable head is actually made up of TWO components joined ONLY by a tension spring/wire which can come apart if the head falls in the wash basin. A newbie (like the lady who gave two starts in their review) will find it daunting to put it back together. This shouldnt have happened when so much thought is spent on exterior of the product. - Hair traps inside the compartment (where the trimmer head sits) at a dizzying pace. Everytime I remove the head, there is some hair clogged. Should have come with a small cleaning brush if the manufacturer anticipated it. - I hate whoever invented the ‘pop up detailer’ which seemed like an afterthought. The pop up detailer is very narrow and though quite sharp, I wish I could use it to make crispy sweet jaw lines but one cannot simply use it for that. There is NOTHING in the market for what I want so the best bet is to use this exclusivelyas a trimmer and buy a seperate detailer for those crispy lines. 3.5/5
