Summary: 2 Stars
Over the course of the past 15 years I've owned several different buzzers. As with many products on the market, the manufacturing quality seems to have gone downhill over the years. To be fair, the prices have stayed about the same over the years, which, when inflation is taken into consideration, means the price in real dollars has fallen. In other words, I paid about $20 for my first buzzer 15 years ago, and I paid a little over $20 for this one. Compared to a commodity like gasoline, which was under $1/gal. 15 years ago, or a can of soda, which was $0.25 15 years ago, it's amazing that a buzzer doesn't cost $50-$75 today.
Well, some buzzers do cost $50-$75 today, and I think I'll invest in one next time. This buzzer, priced at $25, has many attractive features: price, cordless, bonus smaller buzzer thrown in. This buzzer also comes with what I can only assume the manufacturer believes to be attractive features, like a million attachments, a cape, a comb, a big plastic box to hold it all. But the buzzer itself feels poorly manufactured, compared to my previous buzzers. This one is mostly made of plastic. The only attachment I was planning on using--which I would expect to be made of plastic, but thicker plastic--broke during its third use.
I would prefer for a higher quality product to be offered at this price point, without all the bells and whistles. All I really need is a high quality buzzer with 4 or 5 attachments. I don't need 20 attachments and all the other plastic thrown in. I don't need the bonus little buzzer.
But, again, one can't expect much for $25. Next time I'll fork over more money and hope for higher quality.
UPDATE: After using owning this buzzer for 10 months, I've given up on it. As mentioned above, the attachment I intended to use broke after three uses. So I resigned myself to having shorter hair, and last week that attachment broke during the middle of a haircut, having been used less than 10 times. There I was, halfway through a haircut with a broken attachment, with the next size up already broken . . . so I was forced to hold the broken attachment over the blade to finish the job . . . so I could leave my house without looking like an idiot. I've now bitten the bullet and ordered a professional quality buzzer, the Oster Classic 76. The cost is high at $125, but I'm hoping to soon write a review about how I'll never have to buy another buzzer. Stay tuned!
Description of Remington Titanuim Precision Pro Deluxe Hair Cut Kit - 25 Piece
Remington's HC-920 is a 25-piece cord/cordless haircut kit. The titanium-coated trimmer blades give revolutionary trimming technology and the "Lube for Life" blades never need oiling. The shaver features Vibration Reduction Technology - Pivot Motor and a bonus detail trimmer for professional touch-up. Kit includes: hair clipper, blade guard, salon styled scissors, 8 trim-length guide combs, left and right ear guides, 4 sectioning clips, 2 styling combs, neck brush, cleaning brush, barber's cape and hard storage case.Everything the home barber needs to cut the entire family?s hair--or give a tidy-up trim between cuts--can be found in this haircut kit. The centerpiece of the kit is the highly polished clipper, with a contoured handle lightweight enough for most hands. A side lever adjusts the cutting blade guide to five positions to tackle different hair lengths. Coated with titanium, the blades stay sharper longer for professional cuts at home, and never need lubrication. This deluxe model features two operating options: plugged into a wall outlet with the included 6-1/2-foot power cord adapter, the clipper works immediately; or, after charging for 14 hours, the rechargeable batteries allow cordless use, handy for moving to a well-lighted spot in the center of the room. To ensure the kit suits a variety of hair styles, eight guide combs are provided, ranging from 1/8 to 1 inch in length, one each for both the right and the left ear. As a bonus, the kit includes a battery-powered personal trimmer, 5-1/2-inches in length, with a single blade for precision trims on mustaches, beards, and sideburns. The rounded, brushed-chrome-look plastic handle feels good to hold, and a single switch turns it on and off. The kit also includes: a pair of hair-cutting scissors, tapered styling comb, barber?s comb, four sectioning clips, nylon shoulder cape, cleaning brush, and neck brush. All fit compactly into the hard-sided case. Remington covers the haircut kit with a five-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri
