Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Capable of high-speed "turbo" operation, equipped with three screens that flex up and down and side to side to follow facial contours, and employing more cutting blades than ordinary shavers, this shaver delivers a smooth shave while operating either with a cord or without. A touch of the turbo-speed button revs the motor up to 8,900 rpm for a fast shave. To monitor operation, an LCD shows the shaving time left during cordless operation and also indicates when cleaning is needed or the screens need replacing. A built-in trimmer has three positions: one retracted, another for cutting long hairs before the screens cut short hairs, and the third for trimming mustache, sideburns, and necklines. Ideal for travel, the shaver charges in just five minutes for a single shave (full charge takes one hour), automatically adjusts to various voltages around the world, rinses clean, and comes in a storage pouch. Remington offers a full-refund satisfaction guarantee within 30 days and warranties the shaver for two years against defects. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Good shave but bells and whistles almost useless, February 18, 2003

By

This review is from: Remington MS3-4000 MicroScreen 3 TCT Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver (Health and Beauty)

I have been using this razor for about four minths now. It does give a decent shave, but don't expect the same smooth results as razor. No electric shaver can do that.

My complaint is with the bells and whistles that make this shaver more expensive. They really don't add much, so if given the choice again I would probably just buy a less expensive model. To be specific:
The "turbo" feature speeds up the blades a bit but doesn't make a noticable difference in shaving.

The LED readout gives a digital indicator of charge time remaining. After a full charge it reads 40 (minutes), but after a single five minute shave its down to 22 minutes. A few shaves later it reads 16 minutes or so, then it suddenly jumps down to a flashing zero to indicate its time to recharge. So, it really only serves as a general battery life indicator, not a true indicator of shave time remaining.

The flashing "time to clean" indicator really doesn't serve much purpose either because it doesn't really measure how clean the razor is, but seems to just measure how long its been since you last removed the screen.

Bottom line - decent shave, but not really worth the extra bucks to get the bells and whistles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, June 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Remington MS3-4000 MicroScreen 3 TCT Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver (Health and Beauty)

Received this model as a Christmas present and have been using it for about four months. Like most electric razors, it takes a bit of time for your beard to adjust. This razor seems to have cut that 'adjustment time' almost in half. The built-in indicators are very usefull in terms of reminding you to charge or clean the device. Replacement screens are costly but probably not more so than comparable brands. Overall opinion: good product, average price, good-very good performance.

3.0 out of 5 stars essentially clean shave...but keep it plugged in, June 2, 2003

after MUCH research i settled on the remington. I already had a remington cordless that i couldn't seem to kill...but wanted a closer shave.

this shaver gives a clean shave (although the three blade floating system has a tendency to tug on my beard hairs in a most painful way if i'm not careful) but you have to keep it plugged in. i've owned it for just a little over a year...and the battery life well..[is bad]. if you use it in turbo mode...you can count on a good 10 minutes tops...if you have to plug it in...it constantly flips into power save mode (if you have it in turbo)

i have never been able to understand why these companies use [bad] memory-effect nicads in their products. for that reason alone...i gave it three stars...

the funny thing is...my OTHER remington shaver? it still holds a charge...

go figure...

(to the ms3-4000's credit...my lady DID manage to drop it in the toilet once...and it emerged unscathed (the batteries were ALREADY [bad] so that wasn't the cause) so i can rate it as rather durable :)
