Great value. My husband is in hospital and had been unable to shave for almost 2 weeks. A wet shave wasn’t possible so I got this electric shaver which he used by himself and it worked brilliantly. A very smooth and comfortable shave.
This shaver gave me 27 shaves on its first full charge. The blade head is a modified design of an earlier model I have used and can easily be dismantled for cleaning. It is quiet and easy to use but is not the closest shave you’ll get but, adequate for my once a day use. Recharge is indicated by a timer winking LED and it was about 6hrs using a 12W USB power supply.
This purchase replaced a shaver like this that gave 12 years of good service – until I dropped it! It would not then recharge and taking to pieces I found the battery had a thermal safety fuse stuck to it and the drop had made the battery move and cause the legs of this to break the pcb track. Sadly too fiddly to fix as a lot is crammed into a very small space! Seeing the build quality meant I was happy to buy another at 20 in August and will try to not drop it!
Shave quality is quite good. The shaver is value for money and easy to use. Cleaning the shaver after use is a little fiddly, particularly if you have washed the shaver head.
There’s no great mystery to this shaver. It’s very much a budget affair and cheaply made. However, as far as I’m concerned, 20 (what I paid for it but the price will fluctuate) for a three floating-head shaver from a name like Remington ALONG with the fact it can be recharged with your phone or laptop’s charger makes it a 5 out of 5 for me.
A word about the charging. There is a very cheap charging circuit inside the unit. All the charging LED does is start flashing for 8 hours the moment you plug a USB-C cable into it. It’s not measuring the charge intake or making any fancy electronic calculations. How I know this is after charging my shaver for 8 hours (and the charging LED stopped flashing to indicate ‘full’) and then removing the power (so the battery was then fully charged) and then…plugging it straight back in again, I noticed it just flashed for another 8 hours. Now, you’re not telling me that it charged the battery twice, lol. So that’s one to bear in mind: the fact that the charging LED is still flashing doesn’t necessarily mean the battery isn’t full. I’ll let this slide at this price point.
There is also no way to tell how full or empty the battery is. Apparently a full battery lasts 30 minutes. For me, that’s about x2 comprehensive shaves. Again, for 8 hours charging to get two shaves is a bit naff but again for the price point, I’ll let it slide. I just need to remember to plug it in every other shave, overnight.
The shave quality is good enough. Once again I’m satisfied with it at the 20 price point. I ought to mention that it’s not my only shaver and also own another small ‘touch up’ linear shaver for the top and bottom lip to make things smooth where the rotary shaver has missed it. I’ve always needed to do this for every rotary shaver I’ve ever owned be it 20 or 200 so I’m not complaining.
Advertising said it has a three day stubble attachment. Well, mine certainly didn’t come with such a thing and I bought it thinking it would. Oh well. A clean shave for me.
Damning with faint praise here? Not really. I’d recommend it for 20. If money is no object, spend what you like but I always think there’s a steep diminishing point of return past about 80 to a 100 when it comes to electric shavers.
Please do me a favour. If you have found this review helpful, please clap and cheer and make those around you in your home wonder what tf is going on. The thought of it makes me laugh. Thank you.
