excellent shaver at very low price, 28 May 2010

I initially bought this as a cheap & quick replacement for my proper razor (over 4x the price of this one) when it broke so that I could use it temporarily before choosing a new one. I thought it'd do the job for a week or two while I chose a better one. However, I was actually flabbergasted by how well this little one worked. It's better than my previous Braun and Phillips ones which all cost several times its price and actually gives me a better shave! Additionally, it happens to be nice and small which saves space in my wash-bag when travelling.Being so positivey suprised with what I had intended as a 'temporary' or 'travel' razor, this is now my favourite one. It still works flawlessly but if/when it breaks, I intend to just get another one. In fact, I'm sorely tempted to just buy a second one now to leave in my drawer...

Great little shaver, 10 Aug. 2010

I did'nt have any great expectations for this shaver, I needed something small and light and with rechargable batteries, and at the price I thought why not..Anyway I have been pleasantly suprised, the shaver works very well, the battery life is amazing, it's a no frills unit, no trimmers etc but I am very pleased with the purchase, great for a briefcase or for a quick tidy up before a meeting etc...

Why do all modern electricals seem to have such pathetic battery life?, 24 Feb. 2013

The actual shave I got from this shaver was fine, though I'd say you'd have to use it every 2 days in order to avoid a painful shave - it doesn't operate well after 4 or 5 days growth.This I can cope with, especially given that I paid so little for it, but it's the battery life that kills me. It needed charged immediately after the first shave, then again after each shave. Then, after a few more shaves, it didn't even complete a full shave before needing to go back on the charger (which takes forever by the way). After that, it simply didn't turn on. I've used it no more than 7 or 8 times.Poor form Remington. For the price, I didn't expect anything revolutionary, but an element of reliability or durability surely has to be a minimum.
