Not enough power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this razor out over the course of a month. It's doesn't clog up and was easy to clean. The recharge time on it is great, 5 minutes for 30 minutes of shaving. The detailing trimmer is awkwardly placed and didn't work well. The heads pivot in toward each other but not outward or even separately. I found myself going over places a few times to get a clean shave.
I would suggest increasing the power so the blades can cut better. Moving the trimmer might help it, but having a separate trimming kit is easier. Letting the heads pivot on their own would probably result in a better shave.
I received this as a free product to review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I haven't used this razor only once it did a good job.
Maybe a bit better then my old Remington AQ7 which this was to replace
as my old one wouldn't take a good charge. While I was waiting for the new one I
cleaned the contacts in the charger base and disconnected and reconnected all the connections and now it's charging again so I'm still using the old one when it starts pulling and needing a new head I'll clean it up change the head and put it away as aspare and start using the new one.

Trying to find razor that gives me a close shave like my old R950. This R500 does a better job than my last razor (R400), but like that razor it does provide a fast/close shave the old R950 still does!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Close shave, Lightweight, Easy to clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The R5 Power Series Rotary Shaver by Remington gave a very close shave. It was very easy to use. The trimmer worked well and was easy to push the button and pop it up for use. I like that It is very lightweight compared to the last shaver I had used. I gave it a quick charge right out of the box and it did work just fine. I did put it back on the charger for a full 24 hours before I used it again, Since it did state to charge it for 24 hours before the first use. The head is easily removed for cleaning. Overall it is a very good shaver!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quiet, comfortable, and quick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These rotary shavers have come a long way! I had become accustomed to my old rotary that was noisy, yanked my hairs, and would have to go over the same area many times.
But the PrecisionPlus R5100 is so much more powerful and so quiet. It's comfortable in the hand and looks cool too. It seems to require fewer passes, and catches those longer hairs at the edge with ease.
After a few months of use, the blades are still sharp, and I experience almost no tugging. The battery seems as good as new, lasting a couple weeks between charges. It seems to deliver almost full power right up to the end, then drops off quickly, but just a quick one minute charge will be enough to finish up, or you can use it plugged in, which many shaves won't allow. This would be nice also when the batteries finally do give out, I won't have to rush right out to buy another.
The trimmer attachment is handy for mustache and neck hair, but sometimes I forget that it can only be used in one direction, because the other direction wants to fold it closed.
I love the flexibility of the swivel head, especially on the chin area. Clean-up is so simple too with the easy to pop-off head, and easy access to everything. and just being able to rinse it all with water. I have such hard water though, I worry about lime build-up, so I try to shake and blow it dry afterwards. I wish it came with a brush, but I still have my old one and sometimes just use that rather than rinsing.
I find it most comfortable to use every day than it is to skip a couple days on the weekend and try to wait 'till Monday morning. It takes a bit longer and I get a bit more tugging when I do this. I love how quiet it is. With the old one, the wife would holler at me from bed to close the door, but she doesn't even hear this one.
I'm happy with my purchase. I feel that Remington is an expert in their field, constantly trying to improve. I would buy this again, and would recommend to a friend, or feel good giving as a gift..
I would recommend this to a friend!
