Summary: 1 Stars

When I received it, I tried it out (I only used it for my ears) and it seemed to work fairly well. Nothing great, but if you stuck with it, it finally got the job done. I found that the fact that it bent in the middle was totally unnecessary (to me) and the fact that the entire body was sort of a cheap plastic and not metal made it seem somewhat cheap, but since I only planned to use it about once a month for five minutes or so and this wasn't exactly a major purchase, at $8.00, you get what you pay for. It was no more or less important than a toothbrush. As long as it worked o.k., that's all I cared about, until...

...About a week ago, I had the trimmer sitting upright on the sink after I used it and when I reached for something, I accidentally knocked it into the sink, which was my fault. Keep in mind I didn't knock it three or four feet onto the floor, it just slid into the sink where it knocked into the sink drain. The entire on/off switch mechanism flew all over the place like a jack in the box, including the switch (plastic), the few pieces (plastic) that hold it down and operate the 'dial' that rotates it on or off and part of that 'dial' mechanism (plastic) too. The pieces went everywhere and I gathered everything up that I could find and tried to put it together, but I think one of the small 'holding' pieces must have gone down the drain, because I spent about a half hour, all for naught.

It's made in China (the modern day equivalent of 'Made in Japan' of decades ago) and it lives down to its reputation. I looked up the instruction sheet and it said it had a two year warranty, EXCEPT against accident, dropping, breaking, misuse, abuse, ad infinitum (in other words, just about everything in the world).

I was thinking about calling up and lying and saying the switch just popped off when I attempted to turn it on, but even if they said o.k., by the time you pack it up, go to the P.O., pay for the shipping (you pay) and then wait until you get old before you get it back just wasn't worth it for the original 8 bucks.

This is the third Remington product I've ditched because it's gone bad quickly (shaver, beard trimmer and this) because the company's never been the same since Victor Kiam ("I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company.") died and the family sold it to Rayovac (the battery maker) for about $500 million (lucky them).

I'm getting the Panasonic ER411NC instead and give that a try. I've bought the Norelco beard trimmer and the Sanyo electric razor and they're both way better than their Remington counterparts and they LAST. Hopefully, the Panasonic will do the same.

I'll NEVER buy another Remington product again (Rayovac's batteries always stunk anyway, so why should any of their other stuff be any better?)...
