This shaver is great, it lasts for about 2 weeks without having to charge it and it gives a great shave. I have very thick facial hair, sometimes having to shave twice a day and each time it cuts it just as well as a straight-edge razor. I have had it for a year and have gotten great use out of it. We finally, have a razor made by a great brand that gets the job done in half the amount of time as a straight edge razor. If you are looking for a razor that will give you a close shave I say buy this one!

I felt like replacing my Panasonic Wet/Dry ES7003 dual foil style electric rechargeable shaver recently, as I discovered that nobody carried replacement foils/cutters for it. In searching for a replacement, I decided to work backward, checking to see what replacement blades were available WHERE, and at what price . . . and then shopping for the shavers that use the replacement blades that were easier and cheaper to obtain. But another requirement I had for the shaver itself is that it had to be easy to clean.

That's how I ended up choosing the Remington MS3-1000. The replacement foils/blades are easy and cheap to obtain, and the packaging advertised that you could clean the shaver by running it under the tap.

The MS3-1000 itself is a very well made product, that I'm sure will last a long time. Battery life is exceptional, easily lasting well over a week. It is also easy to use, as far as shaving goes.

Cleaning the MS3-1000 isn't as easy as I thought it would be. While both the foils and cutters can be run under the tap, Remington advises cleaning the cutters with a brush, and seems to discourage running the cutters under the tap to clean them. Actually, the user's manual kind of contradicts itself on this issue. On the one hand, it says cleaning the cutters under running water is OK, but on the other hand it says not to immerse the shaver in water, leading me to believe that it's probably not a good idea to rinse the cutters under the tap, unless you remove them from the shaver first (which would be a pain if you had to do THAT every time you shave). So at first I tried to rinse the foils and -brush- the cutters clean. But the cleaning brush Remington includes is hard to use on the cutters. The bristles of the cleaning brush are so soft that they easily get caught in the cutters while you are trying to clean the shaver. This makes cleaning the cutters with the brush difficult.

As far as shaving goes, the MS3-1000 works good, but does NOT shave as close as Panasonic foil type shavers and Norelco rotary type shavers that I've used in the past. This is not just noticeable right after shaving, but also at the end of the day, when I have more (late day) stubble than I'm used to.

Overall, the MS3-1000 is a good shaver for the price. I'm used to shavers that are a bit easier to clean and offer a closer shave, but I'd gladly settle for this Remington model that offers adequate performance in a package that isn't too tough to clean or find replacement blades for.

I have had my TCT shaver for a year and a half. After about 7 months, the trimmer had trouble staying down. Today, the trimmer stopped working all together. The shave is nice, but dont expect it to perform as close as they say. I have a tough beard and it does not perform as well on tough beards.

I first bought one of these a few years back from Longs Drug Store. It cost $69.00+ tax. Ouch! After a few years the battery started to die. I thought, I could buy a new battery for Probably $29.00. Then I noticed on amazon I could buy the whole shaver for $25.00. And, the best part is that this shaver is better than the one I originaly bought for three times the money. $25.00 is all anyone should pay for a shaver becuase the real money that you'll spend is on replacement blades and foils. It costs me $29.99 every 6 months for new blades, but if you keep sharp blades in it, the performance will be better. Nice Shaver, Highly Recomended!

Purchased this MS3-1000 cordless shaver to replace later version, the MS3-200. Price/Value scale, it was worth the purchase. Functionally, the 3-1000 is exactly the same as the 3-200 except for absence of red low battery light. Cutting ability is above average. I had Norelco rotaries and was not impressed with them, no matter how I tried to rationalize the purchase. It has been over a decade since I purchase rotary. I just prefer the inline and trimmer. Overall, for the price this model is worth it if not for anything but for its utility value. Simple and straight-forward.

Replaced an older remington with this one since the screens were worn out and the old one wasn't cordless. This one doesn't give as close a shave as the old one. Also after using it for a while, the pop-out beard trimmer won't pop back in.

Must admit it was the closest shave I've ever had with an electric razon. Unfortunately it has a few drawbacks. Replacement blades and screens are currently unavailable or difficult to come by. Durability is a serious issue. Trimmer will not stay down and is jammed in up position. Shaver jammed and does not work after six months of use. Unfortunately an$80 lesson in purchasing the wrong razor.

This Remington MS3-1000 cordless shaver provided a very close shave and works very well. The feature to cut long hairs is very useful. The shaver is really good value for money. With daily oiling the cutter blades and foils last quite a while.The light weight of the MS3-1000 shaver makes it an easy shaver for those with disabilities as it weighs less than some other shavers I have tried.

I have used other types and brands of shavers and have found that this one gives me the best shave.
My previous shaver was just like the MS3-1000, just a older Remington model.
The replacement blades and screens are not cheap and tend to add up,depending how tough your beard is will dictate how often you replace blades and screens.

First time I used the Remington electric razor, I scratched my face with a sharp piece of the screen that was damaged. A piece of the metal on the end of the screen is protruding making it impossible to adequately shave with it. Currently waiting for a replacement screen.
