My wife bought this for me a few months ago. It worked great for the first month or so and now it doesn't hold a charge. That wouldn't be a big deal if it could be used while plugged in but that doesn't work either. I have left it plugged in for several days at a time, unplugged it and put it away. Then when I take it out to use it, the battery is completely dead. I don't know how this product has not been discontinued after all of the reviews it has gotten about this same problem. Very dissapointed and I won't be buying Remington products anymore.

Great cutting but doesn't last long

Pros: As a grooming tool I liked all of the attachments and it fits well in your hand. It does a good job at doing what it was made for.
Cons: The stand it comes in does not function well unless your just into displaying your stuff. The cord comes around the front of the stand in order to plug into the shaver as it barely sits in it's cradle.
The battery gave out six months into use. I could live with the rest of the shortcomings of this unit but not this one.
I would not recommend this product.

Poor performance

I purchased this product to replace an old trimmer made by a competitor that had served me for years. I selected this model because it had a greater variety of attachments than comparable products, and I figured it would be versatile. Given that this is a low-cost product, my expectations were modest, but the product failed to meet even those modest expectations.
As others pointed out, the battery life is the biggest drawback. Even when brand new and fully charged, the battery affords me a scant ten minutes of usage time. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, since I can trim my beard in ten minutes. However, the blades on the unit are so dull that they continuously jam and clog, even on the thinnest parts of my beard, resulting in painful pulling. I have to make at least six or seven passes over each part of my beard just to get a basic trim.
The result is that I can only ever trim about a third of my beard with this product, then I end up finishing off with scissors and a comb. Overall, this is one of the poorest-performing consumer products I've ever purchased. I strongly advise against purchasing it.

This product is trash.

The power delivery system on my clipper fails and the battery life is nonexistent. The clipper will not work without a power cord and even with a power cord it must be charged for about an hour before use. Then, when it does work, the power drains so quickly that it renders the clipper useless.
I had presumed that it was just my clipper that was defective, but I have read countless reviews by others who had the same problem. I did not expect much from this inexpensive product, but I expected more than what it offered me. This product makes a good target for shooting practice.

Inexpensive & does the job

I've had this product for several years and found it to do what its supposed to do, does'nt need oiling, ever, and it can be cleaned with water. Try to remember to charge it up before you use it and it will do what the company says it will.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery gives me fits

My beard isn't exceptionally thick, so I don't require a whole lot. Still, it's frustrating that I need to have the unit already charging for a few hours at the time that I use it. Before that, I'd leave it to charge for most of the day when I go to work, and there is essentially no usable battery life for the next time I trim about a day-and-a-half later.
