Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
All in all, this is not a bad piece of grooming kit. Make no mistake, as it seems a number of reviewers have: this is not a razor set, designed to get your face acceptable for another day behind the counter at the DMV. It's a "body and back groomer," and it basically delivers on what it says it is. If you want that caveman-tuft off your shoulders and back to be fuly ready for your next rockin' pool party, this will do the trick. If you want to be Mr. Universe-smooth, then this product is not quite qualified.
The set comes with a number of parts: the groomer itself, three modular heads, a length guide for the trimmer head, a transformer/charger (120V only, so you can't take it to Estonia), a mesh carrying bag, and instructions/owner's guide. It's a nice compact set, although it does take a bit of jiggling to get the bag to zip up when all of the gear is inside.
The three modular heads are: one with the standard mesh screen, for close-in shaving; one standard clipper, over which the graded length guide clips, and; a flat trimming head, with a removable guide for longer hair. The graded length guide has a nice little plastic bead to magnify the standard graded trimmer settings, which is a nice touch. The heads are easy to switch; turn 30 degrees and pull off/click on. They do work in the reciprocal (backward) position. The shaver head comes apart easily for cleaning, but the other two do not. The shaver head comes with a clear plastic cover to protect the screen.
There is no small detail tool/attachment for close-in spots, like trimming the moustache, trimming under the nose, etc. You'll just have to use the standard clipper with the guide off.
Although it is not a shaver, I did try it for a shave, and it's mediocre. There is no pulling, but it most definitely does not render a close shave, as tested on a clean, dry face (without any Lectric Shave).
As for the back and body grooming part, this was a wacky experiment, as I've never shaved my legs, armpits, chest or back, not once, not ever in my entire life, or otherwise attempted to modify my otherwise unremarkable back or chest hair. So, really, this product isn't for me. Big surprise, I don't look anything like the chiseled, buff, slightly oiled, highly muscular and completely denuded fellow on the packaging. This product is aimed directly at this guy and his buddies, and not me. Yes, I endured two weeks of mighty itchy back and chest for this product. Basically, it works. If you're starting from fully grown hair, you've got to work it in phases, using the graded clipper and flat head--with the guide on--first, moving slowly, as I did experience a couple of jams that pulled unpleasantly. Once that's done, you can move down to the mesh screen and "shave" the rest off.
The extension has a spring release, and locks into place. There are no intermediate positions, only fully closed or fully extended. When extended, you get only 2 1/8" of extra reach. It seems that's not really a whole lot more, given that your average Philippine bamboo backscratcher is about 18" long, not counting those delicate and creepy little curved fingers. I do give Remington the benefit of the doubt, though: how are you going to make this thing still work, and fit in the little mesh pouch, and fit into the marketing-size shelf box, if it extends to 18" or more. The two-odd inches of extra reach were helpful, but it still took a variation of goofy/awkward over-the-shoulder, and bent-arm-behind-the-back-and-up-from-below to get it all taken care of.
This device is loud, brother, so you can't take it on that next covert assassination mission.
I note that there was no little package of oil in the set, with the instructions saying to oil the blades regularly. Especially since this is a waterproof set, too. I recommend Remington add this to future packages.
Bottom line: if you've got a body that is fit enough that it would look good completely devoid of hair, then knock yourself out with this product; it is easy to use and affordable.
