Robust, well-constructed, and the smart settings are great!
By Mikalros on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2022
I mainly used this for beard, mustache, arm pits, and groin. Arm pits and groin you can use without the comb. For beard it worked amazing because you can store up to the four lengths and recall them as needed. I use a #3 and #4 guard for my beard which equates to approximately 9mm and 12mm respectively. I would recall those settings and just set it back to 1mm when I was done so it didn't try to spool up the motor to a raised height if I was using it without the comb. The blades cut well and stay sharp even with my coarse beard hair. I only had to drop a little trimmer blade oil on the blades themselves after a good cleaning around the year mark and I put one drop each in the gear slots where the guides for the comb are to lubricate the guide motors. I only did this because I noticed the comb was rattling a bit after the 8-9 month mark and the blades would get a little hot after extended use. The trimmer blade oil cleared up both. 2-3 drops on the blade and let it run for 15-20 secs while working it around the blades and 1 drop in each comb motor guide and run it up and down (about 9-12mm each time) a few times. Worked like it was brand new out of the box again. The only reason I'm buying a new one is it got used (by someone that wasn't me) and was allowed to get very wet under running water while the trimmer was running. Water got inside the trimmer while running and now the LED screen is messed up (I've seen other videos depicting the LED screen issue and they say it "happened randomly after a year or so". I'd be willing to bet it was due to getting very wet while in operation). This won't deter me from buying another one because it's THAT GOOD! The instructions explicitly state that while it can be put through running water to be cleaned it should only be done with the trimmer OFF and locked to avoid damage to the electronics. I would easily pay an extra $20-40 if there was an IP rated version of this trimmer with the same features. *Looking at you, Remington*

Two Razors, No Joy!
By Betty Kay on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025
Dear Remington; I recently purchased a Remington MB4700 Smart Beard Trimmer for my husband as a Christmas present. He likes to wear a 5 o’clock stubble most of the time and the reviews indicated this should be the choice. After opening the device, he charged it most of the day and tried to use it that evening, but it would only blink a beep at him. He even tried plugging it in a got the same result. A detailed perusal of the “instructions” revealed absolutely no trouble-shooting tips or indications of what beeps & boops might mean. So we decided to return it to Amazon for a replacement.  Several days later, the new device arrived and my hubby immediately unboxed it at plugged it in to charge. After letting it charge overnight, he went to use it and couldn’t get it to turn on, even though it indicated a full charge. We looked through the instructions again and, “Yep” there were absolutely no trouble-shooting tips, so we decided to call the 800 number that was listed, thinking we might be doing something wrong. Nearly 30 minutes on hold later, we decided we had better things to do, and hung up.   The SECOND trimmer was returned and this time we requested a full refund. An electric razor company that can’t even make a razor that will turn on??? You guys deserve to be forced into bankruptcy in my opinion. PS My husband still doesn’t have a Christmas present due to your total incompetence! Chalk this whole unpleasant experience up to “lessons learned.” Sincerely, An extremely disappointed customer
