Product Description

Amazon.com

Everything the home barber needs to cut the entire family’s hair--or give a tidy-up trim between cuts--can be found in this haircut kit. The centerpiece of the kit is the highly polished clipper, with a contoured handle lightweight enough for most hands. A side lever adjusts the cutting blade guide to five positions to tackle different hair lengths. Coated with titanium, the blades stay sharper longer for professional cuts at home, and never need lubrication. This deluxe model features two operating options: plugged into a wall outlet with the included 6-1/2-foot power cord adapter, the clipper works immediately; or, after charging for 14 hours, the rechargeable batteries allow cordless use, handy for moving to a well-lighted spot in the center of the room. To ensure the kit suits a variety of hair styles, eight guide combs are provided, ranging from 1/8 to 1 inch in length, one each for both the right and the left ear. As a bonus, the kit includes a battery-powered personal trimmer, 5-1/2-inches in length, with a single blade for precision trims on mustaches, beards, and sideburns. The rounded, brushed-chrome-look plastic handle feels good to hold, and a single switch turns it on and off. The kit also includes: a pair of hair-cutting scissors, tapered styling comb, barber’s comb, four sectioning clips, nylon shoulder cape, cleaning brush, and neck brush. All fit compactly into the hard-sided case. Remington covers the haircut kit with a five-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, sharp, sharp, July 30, 2004

By

This review is from: Remington Titanuim Precision Pro Deluxe Hair Cut Kit - 25 Piece (Health and Beauty)

i've been buying cheap clippers for years now, when i decided to try out something on amazon.com. i was looking for anything in the $30-$50 range, reading everyone else's reviews to get an idea of what everyone else wanted.

i stumbled across the remington's, drawn to them because the set came with the regular clippers and the fine-tuning clippers. two clippers for $30?

the first thing i noticed when i plugged them in was how light weight they are. i'm so used to using what felt like a brick to cut my hair that these really light weight clippers seemed to help me get better control over what i was trying to do.

after waiting a few weeks to finally order them, my hair had grown out of control. i shave my head bald so when it got to about an inch long, it was time. the very minute the blades touched my hair, i was expecting them to slow a bit, maybe semi-jam, or something. my hair is pretty thick, but these blades effortlessly cut my hair.

honestly, because the blades were so sharp, it took less than half the amount of time to cut my hair than i'm used to. i mean, these blades are sharp.

i didn't even charge them. i love the fact that it's corded or cordless. i simply plugged them in and started cutting and i was beyond pleased. i also like the fact it has a mini guard setting on the clippers instead of having to use the plastic guards it comes with.

one thing, though, is that the fine-tuning clippers need batteries. i haven't even used them because i thought i could plug them in and check them out, too, but i used a razor to fine-tune. and i wish it came with some lubing oil, since i'm so used to oiling my clippers. maybe they do and i got gipped. no big deal though.

anyway, i've only used them this once and i'm more than satisfied. i've never really thought about doing reviews, but i was so impressed with these clippers, i had to post something for whoever cares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chromed and sharp for the chrome dome, January 6, 2005

Simply put, these clippers work great. I really don't know what a couple of the other reviewers have been talking about. My hair is particularly thick, and the clippers run through it like a knife through warm butter. The cordless option is fantastic. Though it is indeed a bit less powered than when plugged into an outlet, it worked well enough for me to cut my hair standing in the tub so that the hair clippings did not fall all around the bathroom. Let's run through the summary:

PROS
-light, very light...so it's easily maneuverable.
-very quiet.
-comes with a bunch of different size groomers and trimmers for varying lengths. I have opted to go near bald sometimes and otherwise chosen to leave my hair pretty long in other cases. It worked well in both instances.
-cordless.

CONS
-really, I can't think of one. If hard-pressed, I might suggest a better storage box for all the trimmers and accessories that it comes in. But quite frankly, you get two brushes to clean the trimmers, a bunch of varying length attachments, and a storage bag.

All in all, this is a terrific clippers and a great value. Frankly, the only thing that irks me is that the price has come down 5 bucks since I bought mine 6 months ago. But, the price was still low in the first place, so what's the deal.

UPDATE: I am lowering the review to 4 stars. The clippers are still pretty nice, but they lose their sharpness very very quickly. I am in talks with Remington to figure out a way to resolve this problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars Going back to Wahl, August 13, 2005

I have been cutting hair with clippers for close to 15 years now. After my last Wahl finally gave up the ghost, I thought to try these clippers.
Nice appearance, description and at the time, nice price...so I thought, "Why not"
My previous Wahl wasn't a cordless and I thought a cordless would make for a nice change.

What a disappointment, right from the begining. These clippers are not heavy duty at all. Don't let that "chrome" finish fool you. It's light weight plastic.
In trying to cut my husband's slightly grown out military cut, it began to bog down but we managed to get through it-SLOWLY.
In trying to use the cordless feature, found that they were even more gutless.
After about 6 months and 6 cuts, the clippers began to "snag" and would stop cutting. I would have to go back to the starting point and make another "run" for it.
Finally, after what took twice the time than it should-I completed his simple cut.
After giving my baby his first hair cut (for which he has baby-fine hair) and having the same experience with his hair as I had with my husband's hair...I decided that these are best suited in the trash bin.
They aren't worth my time and they certainly aren't worth putting my family through the misery.
After I finish this review, I will be placing a new order for a Wahl set.

Good luck to you and yours.

*Update* 01/23/06
I have since purchased and used the Wahl Super Taper II clippers and to date, these have been my absalute favorite! A sweet set of clippers. We are all very happy. Shop around and you may just find a good deal on these Wahls.
