I got what I believe is the newer version of this shaver, the WDF-1250. It's only around $12 but it is the best electric shaver I've ever used. I have thicker hair strands than most women so removal with an electric shaver usually leads to some pulled hairs, the occasional nick, repeat area coverage since the first try usually leaves hair behind, and never results in smoother skin than what I can get with a normal razor. This shaver does just as well of a job as a normal razor at shaving my skin. I don't have to go over the same area repeatedly and it hasn't pulled a single hair much less nick me. The results are smoother than what I can get with a normal razor since they're bump-free (I also have sensitive skin and razor-shaving gives me bumps).

This model is AA battery operated and the foils are not replaceable. This means when the foils dull out you have to throw the shaver away. Considering just the inner foil for my previous shaver cost $12, this doesn't seem like much of a loss. It also helps save the land fills because even though you're throwing away a large shaver instead of an inner and outer foil it still doesn't take up anywhere near as much space as a year's worth of razors would. If you use rechargeable AA batteries you also save yourself the expense of batteries and help keep batteries from the landfill (if it had a rechargeable battery you would still have to throw it away when you threw away the unit).

So, for $12 you get all the convenience of a really good electric shaver without the expense of buying one and still come out ahead in the amount of waste you dispose.

I needed a battery powered shaver because I don't have enough outlets in my bathroom keep a rechargable shaver recharged when I need to shave my legs; also, I prefer to shave in the bathtub, so when I saw that this is waterproof and uses 2 AA batteries, I had to try it. Amazon has the best price and it shipped free with the books I purchased. I have been using this shaver for three months and highly recommend it. If you want a shaver you can use in the shower or tub with just soap or a little shave cream you won't be disapointed! I have fine to medium hair on my legs and the shaver does a good job of taking off the hair without irritating my sensitive skin, and the batteries last a long time! This is just what I wanted in an electric shaver!

Bought this electric razor due to I'm tired of all the nicks from manual razors and the razor burn really can get quiet awful sometimes. I have always trusted Remington so I went on a search for a great razor so went to here (Amazon) and found this great razor. I wasn't quiet sure whether to buy a battery operated or one that comes with a charger, but in the end I thought battery operated would be the best to travel with. Its small enough to put in a purse or a over night bag. There is nothing I can say bad about this product it met all my expectations. I've had it for a couple weeks now and although no electric razor shaves as close as a manual razor it trims pretty short and on one or two smooth swipes. It even works great on bikini lines. For the last two weeks I have been using this razor and so far so good it doesn't eat right though the batteries either which is great and only needs 2 AA batteries. This razor works great wet or dry and easy to clean just pops open and comes with its own brush to clean it out with. I love how it fits in your hand its not bulky at all and is comfortable to the feel. It doesn't cut you or nick you like I've heard some electric razors do. It has 2 flexible foils for the closeness any woman needs, and has two extra trimmers for longer hair as well. This razor is a great buy and even better than my last electric razor I had.

This is great for wet or dry shaving! I use mine all the time, and the battery lasts a long while too. It works best with wet shaving (you'll get a smoother finish), but for dry shaving, it's awesome for touch-up or if you forget to shave!

I've bought this for my mom and sister, and they love it too! Great deal for the price as well!

I bought this razor, gosh, I dont even remember how long ago(not from amazon) and it has lasted forever! I have never had any problems with it except for now. The screen has a hole in it so kinda useless since I dont believe they make replacements for these. But that took a long time to develope so I cant be to disappointed. The only thing I would change is to make it rechargeable but I guess thatll be my next razor and Im definitely sticking to Remington! Ive had 2 in my life and they both lasted several years.

This never worked very well from the start, although it worked a little better wet than dry. Cleaned it meticulously after each use, but after the first few times, it quickly dulled. Not worth the money.

This shaver is just what I was looking for. Since it is battery operated I don't have to worry about the cord and having a place to plug in. And it gives a nice close shave. I don't know how long the batteries last, but I have used it several times already on the original batteries.

I switched to this electric shaver from a Panasonic because I'm going overseas and needed a battery operated one. This shaver is excellent and gives me a very close shave (not as close as manual razors, but close). I use it only on my legs, so I can't speak to how well it works in other areas. It's easy to use, easy to clean and waterproof. For the price and quality, I would highly recommend and would buy again.

Wife ordered and received this electric razor. Says it is as good as the last one she had that cost much more. Very cost efficent with 2 replaceable AA batteries. Give this razor a 5 star rating.

I spent almost 10 minutes attempting to shave my legs. The hair was short because I shaved yesterday, but there was enough stubble for me to need to shave today. It won't shave the short hairs, and you have to keep going over the same spots again and again. After 10 minutes I put it down and got my disposable razor. It was much faster and did a much better job. And even though I used the same shaving gel I always use, there are little red bumps all over my legs now.
