4.0 out of 5 stars Shaves great, below par everything else, November 20, 2006

Pro:

Shave as close as blades. It may take a while, but it will get the job done. (Based on just my person experience, comparing to Braun 1000, 4000. 500, and 8000, the new Norelco SpeedXL, and Panasoic Linear).

Con:

Poor build quality in all area, look and feel, fits and noise level (loud), shake, power connector, and so on. (The new Norelcos have the similar problems - look and feel cheap. Far less solid than my old faithful Quadra. Braun and Panasoic feel better build. Brauns are pleasure to my eyes and hands. But unfortunately, no one shaves as close as Remington)

And it's a shaver after all and it supposes to shave. If this Remington doesn't last (I have my reasons to be a bit worried), I will have to get another one of the same. Only hope Remington will at least keep their technology intact over time. (Side note, among all the auto cleaning systems, the one comes with the Braun 8000 series really works: fast, clean, easy to get the shaver in and out of the station, and does charge and wash separately. Too bad Remington doesn't come close in the washer technology, and Braun doesn't cut as close!)

P.S. I have no beard or mustache, but lots of whiskers in all directions around and under chin. All other shavers I've tried simply won't go there. The difference is loud and clear, literally: when the whiskers got cut down, you can hear it. All shavers work great in the initial cutting phase. But Only Remington continues on after that, while all others just do empty runs, and my fingers clearly tell me there're more to be cut.

Bottom line: Try it. Don't get scared away by the bad raps on the web. I tried Remington as my last resort. And I never regret that I did.

P.S. now it's 2009, the shaver still works great, the battery is at about 2/3 of the original capacity, but not the screen. It starts to cut into my skin from time to time. A screen set costs half a shaver. So I am debating if it's worthwhile to get the screen at all...

3.0 out of 5 stars overpiced, shaves like the cheaper MS2 370, November 3, 2007

I was hoping this shaver to replace my way cheaper Remington MS2 370 but it didn't. It shaves no worse and no better than MS2 370. You can't get a shave as close as a blade with electric razor, no matter which brand, but it's acceptable. My biggest hope was that the mini-foil will improve shaving under the chin. I am a slim guy and have 'valleys and hills' there that are hard to shave with the big foils. Unfortunately, the mini-foil is simply incapable of cutting the hairs and I continue to shave the area with the trimmer and then the big foils. On top of that, the shaver needs 12 hours for recharging while my MS2 370 charges in an hour and in 5 minutes is charged enough for a shave if you are in a hurry. It is beyond my comprehension why would Remington try to sell a model with a charging system inferior to the twice cheaper model and on top of that it doesn't shave better. What were they thinking in their marketing department ????

Razor can be used corded or cordless which is a big deal to me. It's easy to clean with wet or dry methods. It shaves close and the small cutting edge of the top blade allows for small areas to be easily shaved. For the price, it has the best features and performance.
