well I'm lazy and only shave twice a week. was looking for a shaver with no battery that could handle my stubble after 3 or 4 days. been using a Norelco 710rl for the last 28 years and since they don't make original replacement blades anymore and have tried the garbage knockoffs for 20 bucks, which suck, It was time to get a new one. I have a battery Norelco I got for xmas, 7100. does a good job but have to clean it twice as it clogs up. this unit is full power and does a great job.!! u can tell its a little cheap made in cleaning out the head , you have to be a tad ginger with it but it ripped thru 4 day stubble nicely without bogging down. heads got a little warm at first, but don't know if that is break in. all in all its a great cheap razor that does the job. I'm blue collar and love stuff that works. just got to be easy on the cleaning. Light air compressor every other time is good by me.. Read more
The best shaver on the market. They gave me the cleanest smoothest shave I've ever had and it is superior to my last Norelco hundred dollar shaver. Not only is it a great deal, it is of superior performance and quality. Read more
I have over a dozen Remington and Philips shavers (both foil and rotary) and I've bought and sold shavers for many years on the big market site. Though I prefer pure electric versus battery rechargeable, many shavers that perform well are battery. But I got this as though I'm in my mid-70s, I go to the gym often and always use an electric shaver, not battery. Main reasons are desert heat here in Vegas can kill battery shaver in your car, and I don't like to run out of power in the middle of shaving. This low-cost Remington performs very well...I'd give it a 4.5 if I could...it cannot shave as close as a foil as the combs of a rotary are thicker, and thus do not allow as much hair to hit the cutters. I found this quiet, easy-to-clean Remington a cut above the basic Philips 1100 corded rotary on cost, but more importantly, it has TWO tracks of cutters not one. This allows more hair to be cut in the same amount of time. Now, Remington does not market replacement heads for this, but I called them and they had bulk ones in their supply so they sent me a free comb/cutter kit. This shaver is extremely easy to clean and use...very small and though my hands are big, it is very easy to maneuver. I believe Remington has the foil market cornered, though Braun does a good job too, but in the area of rotary shavers, this is a worthy competitor to the Philips basic shaver. I do have the more advanced Philips with more cutters than this one, but for a low-cost, basic, no frills electric, this is hard to beat. I didn't give it a 5 star only because rotaries cannot shave quite as close as a foil, but its ability to handle two-day beard, ease of cleaning, and quietness are a major plus. Update: Nov 29, 2023...Just ordered two more of these, less than I originally paid. One I am giving to my son; the other is a spare for me. I go to the gym and this is perfect for that. It is small, lightweight, cuts well, and most of all, no battery to die out. I noticed some reviews talked about razor burn. I've found many shavers do that and like many of my shavers, for this one, I just use some shaving powder or you can use baby powder...it dries the skin, keeps the whiskers upright, and prevents burn. I have the basic Philips 1100 as well. it shaves well and is cord only too, but the dual tracks of this Remington cut quicker for me. Overall, this is a good basic shaver at a good Amazon price.

This is my second time to buy this model. The first one I purchased in 2017. That one still runs great, just getting worn out. They are nothing fancy, but does the job. Just plug into your outlet and go. Easy to use, easy to clean. Good close shave. I wished it offered a trimmer. Recommend to someone who wants inexpensive and easy. Read more
It’s terrible! I still have wounds on my neck a week later after using it once. I can’t believe Remington puts their name on this piece of garbage. Read more
This shaver does a good job so long as you can stretch your skin out smooth. I am older and have some wrinkled skin underneath my chin. The shaver scratches that skin no matter how hard I try to smooth it out. I will be returning it. It would be a very good shaver for someone younger. Read more
Fairly long cord provided. Stays sharp for nearly a year. Read more
Got this for my 85 year old Dad, I like that it has a cord, that way he can plug it and unplug, u know old school. They don't do the charging kind, it just gets confusing for them. So we kept it simple. This little razor seems to be a good razor, gives Dad a smooth shave. He was really happy with it when I brought it to him. Definitely recommend. Read more
