Customer Reviews of Remington Titanuim Precision Pro Deluxe Hair Cut Kit - 25 Piece
Customer Review: Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
The clipper is cheaply made.
The battery capacity is low - after fewer than 10 recharge cycles, the battery can't last through a simple hair cut for a kid. During each of the recharge cycles, I fully drained the battery and charged it over night, to minimize memory effect.
The accessory combs are easily broken. The combs are made from plastic, not nylon. The plastic is brittle. The part that holds the comb to the clipper was poorly designed, looked weak, and was weak. My 1/8" comb broke after about 20 uses. Since it's the only one I use, I have to go find a replacement.
The replacement comb costs only $5.99, but is hard to find. It's out-of-stock at the Remington store. Now I have to replace the entire kit because of a single cheap part.
Piece of junk.
Customer Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
Do NOT waste your money on the Remington HC-920! I've had mine for a little over a year and started having problems after only about 15 haircuts. First, the battery stopped holding a decent charge long enough to cut hair for more than 5 minutes and got progressively worse as time went on. Then it only worked when I plugged it in because the supposedly rechargeable battery was shot. Now it only works intermittently, oscillating between a high-pitched "buzzing" sound and a low-speed/low-pitched "whirring" sound, even when it's plugged in! Somehow the defective battery is affecting the electric motor of these clippers so that it no longer effectively cuts hair in either mode (plugged-in or unplugged). PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BRAND OR THIS MODEL OF CLIPPERS. I'm sticking with Wahl or Oster from now on.Customer Review: Gives a great cut--fast and easy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been cutting hair for my family for over 8 years. Our old Wahl hair clipper has gotten dull, so I ordered this Remington set. Wow! The set provides two separate clippers: one cordless clipper with trimmer attachments for an overall cut, and another small, battery-operated clipper for clean-up trims. Both are really sharp and operate quietly. I am able to cut both wavy hair and straight hair. The half-cape which comes with it is short, so I bought a longer cape from Sally's Beauty Supply. The scissors which are included are fine, but I like to use another pair which I also bought from Sally's. The beauty parlors in town charge too much for a simple cut, and the walk-in barbers don't take appointments. With the Remington set, our family saves time, money, and frustration.Customer Review: Keep looking, this clipper is not worth it.
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
... always oiled blades, so you never have to grease them ... very nice cutting for the first couple of haircuts ... can be cordless I guess ... good price ....
Cons:
... after the first couple of cuts, when finished cutting hair there are ALWAYS some that don't get cut - blades don't seem sharp enough to cut all my hair ... I have thick hair, so it gets jammed up sometimes on my head and hurts like a SOB ... cordless option is useless, as there is not enough power to cut anything ... takes a long time to recharge the batteries, not that it matters since for any haircut, it's better to plug it in ... only a 30 day money back guarantee, so by the time you realize its a piece of junk, its already too late ...
Customer Review: Decent trimmer for the $$
Summary: 4 Stars
I had mine for about 1.5 years before my housekeeper dropped them on the blade. Now they are trashed. I am back because I am buying the exact same clipper they worked so well. I agree, the battery life is somewhat short, something to consider if there is no power plug where you trim your hair. The accessory trimmer is junk, toss it in the trash, or give it to someone you don't like very much. Doesn't matter, this set is so reasonably priced that I can't justify buying anything else more expensive, this does the job. Don't buy these to shave your face with, I don't feel that they get close enough, unless you are going for the 5 day old shadow look.
Thanks Remington and Amazon for a decent product at a great price!
