Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Adequate for Short Term Use Comment: I was impressed when I first bought the Remington Trim and Shape. No more plucking chin hairs. After 6 months the shaver was not cutting as well and caused some irritation on my skin. The screen was wearing out. I searched for a replacement screen at stores in town and also on the internet. This item was not even a year old and I was determined not to toss it out. When searching on the Remington website for replacement parts there were none listed for this model. I e-mailed Remington's customer service and informed the representative that I had searched their site and could not find a replacement screen for the WPG-150 model and wanted to know if there was one available or if another model's screen would fit. The representative explained to me how to use the replacement search on their website (which I had done previously) and gave me a web site to search for a dealer that would service the shaver, suggesting that maybe the dealer would have a replacement screen. That's what I thought costumer service would be able to answer. If you buy this item, plan on it being a short term investment and plan on buying another when it wears out. I only used it on a few chins hairs and it wore out within 6 months, even after careful cleanings and oiling. Customer Rating: Summary: It's fun, cheap, and it works Comment: I just got mine a few days ago. Have to admit, I spent a good half hour playing with the attachments to find out which ones suited my preferences best. On the plus side, it's very easy to hold and use. It doesn't cut or catch your skin during use. It stores conveniently in a little bag (included). It's relatively inexpensive. It's rechargeable, so no battery costs or landfill. It comes with 5.5 attachments (if the comb attachment counts for 1/2) and a bag. On the down side, I agree with the previous review that you have to go over an area a few times to get everything. It's noisy. The comb attachment is easy to slide on and adjust for length, but not so easy to remove again. As with any electric shaver, you don't get as close a shave as with a blade. But really... you can't expect a whole lot more than you get here for the price. I've read some great reviews on epinions about the larger Remington shavers and must admit I was tempted by their new self-cleaning unit. But this one was $40 (Cdn) and that one was $110 (plus solution refills every once in a while). Overall I like this shaver - it's good for the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Adequate--But I'm still looking for a Better Bikini Shaver Comment: I purchased this product primarily for bikini shaving. The additional attachments are certainly useful, however. In fact, I've found the other attachments usually work better than the shaving head. GENERAL: Some general comments I have about the 5-In-1 follow. *PROS* ---Convenient to have multiple features in one unit rather than having to purchase different units for each task. ---Rechargeable so saves on batteries. ---Can be used wet or dry. (Though I found it very ineffective wet, it is still nice to be able to rinse it out.) ---Comfortable shape and size. *CONS* ---It seems to require constant charging, running down quickly after just a few shaves. This is a major problem for traveling out of the U.S. since it does not have dual voltage. ---There is no indicator light to tell when it is fully charged, just one that says it is charging. ---You also cannot use it while plugged in, which prevents you from simply plugging it into an adaptor to use it overseas. ---There is no stand; all the attachments and cord are supposed to be kept in a zippered bag. Though this may be nice for traveling, it makes charging it a pain as it can easily slide off a surface onto the floor from the cord weight alone. ---The bag also is cluttered with everything in it and I am concerned about the attachments becoming damaged as a result of everything getting knocked around together. ---The blades on the trimmers seem to be prone to jamming. SHAVING HEAD: All in all, I'm rather disappointed with the shaving head. Some comments I have about this attachment are listed below: *PROS* ---Nice size for an all over bikini shave. ---Non-iritating; it does not cause bumps as often as razors seem to do. ---No trimmer combs around the cutting screen so there is nothing to catch on sensitive skin in the curves the way the larger electric shavers often do. ---Seems to be the only one of it's type on the market. *CONS* ---This attachment does not seem to be very well made; I had to use nail glue to keep the screen from falling out. ---The blades also seemed to have dulled very quickly though I have only used mine for a little over a month. ---There are no replacement parts available for replacing the cutters. You have to service the whole unit apparently. ---It requires going over an area repeatedly for it to be effective. A dual-screen head would probably be more efficient. ---The screen and blades do not lift and cut consistently, requiring the use of the other attachments to try and touch up hairs it will not cut. ---It requires frequent cleaning and oiling, even when not using it wet (it cuts *VERY* poorly wet). I personally have to clean it multiple times during a single shave for even for the shortest stubble. ---Makes some rather disturbing grinding sounds that aren't present with the other attachments. Though I use the 5-in-One daily and much prefer it to a standard razor, I am still looking for a unit that better suits my needs. More Reviews
