Robust, well-constructed, and the smart settings are great!
I mainly used this for beard, mustache, arm pits, and groin. Arm pits and groin you can use without the comb. For beard it worked amazing because you can store up to the four lengths and recall them as needed. I use a #3 and #4 guard for my beard which equates to approximately 9mm and 12mm respectively. I would recall those settings and just set it back to 1mm when I was done so it didn't try to spool up the motor to a raised height if I was using it without the comb. The blades cut well and stay sharp even with my coarse beard hair. I only had to drop a little trimmer blade oil on the blades themselves after a good cleaning around the year mark and I put one drop each in the gear slots where the guides for the comb are to lubricate the guide motors. I only did this because I noticed the comb was rattling a bit after the 8-9 month mark and the blades would get a little hot after extended use. The trimmer blade oil cleared up both. 2-3 drops on the blade and let it run for 15-20 secs while working it around the blades and 1 drop in each comb motor guide and run it up and down (about 9-12mm each time) a few times. Worked like it was brand new out of the box again.The only reason I'm buying a new one is it got used (by someone that wasn't me) and was allowed to get very wet under running water while the trimmer was running. Water got inside the trimmer while running and now the LED screen is messed up (I've seen other videos depicting the LED screen issue and they say it "happened randomly after a year or so". I'd be willing to bet it was due to getting very wet while in operation). This won't deter me from buying another one because it's THAT GOOD! The instructions explicitly state that while it can be put through running water to be cleaned it should only be done with the trimmer OFF and locked to avoid damage to the electronics.I would easily pay an extra $20-40 if there was an IP rated version of this trimmer with the same features. *Looking at you, Remington*

Surprisingly good
I picked one of these up just to keep a 5 o'clock shadow as my wife/kids were not digging the full beard look. Lots of choices out there, but I chose Remington because of a very good experience with them. I also have their vacuum trimmer which works quite well as a body hair trimmer. After 2 years the vacuum trimmer stopped charging, I emailed Remington and the very next day, no questions asked, they mailed me a brand new vacuum trimmer. They didn't ask for the old one back or even ask for proof that I disposed of it, which would have been reasonable. In this day and age where companies seem to disappear the minute you have issues with a product I was extremely impressed with Remington's customer service.Anyway back to this trimmer, I really like the memory feature so it's always on 0.8 and I don't have to adjust anything. The cutting itself is great, but you have to make sure the head is completely flat which is a bit of a challenge on the jaw angles. You do have to have multiple passes with this one, I'd say several passes in both grain directions, but this is quick and a full shave takes me maybe 5-10 minutes at the most. It cuts very evenly as long as you keep the head flat and the battery easily lasts as long as I need it to. It even cuts unevenly if that's what you want, sometimes I want my chin/lip to be a bit longer than my jaw and it's adjustable enough to accomplish this and blend it well.The only wishlist request is a way to handle side burns as you can't get a nice line separating them from your beard without actually cutting the beard all the way right under the sideburn. I'm sure there is a better way but I haven't figured it out yet. 2nd wishlist item, I don't really like the mini-USB power connector, it's hard to tell which was is up and if it's properly connected.But overall a great little trimmer backed by very good customer service.

Great value, better than expected
I initially bought this for the integrated adjustable comb which makes it easy to set the right height every time and not have to keep a collection of combs around. It only took a few moments to realize the true power of this device for my daily use though.The first thing that brought a smile to my face is the fact that it uses a standard USB charger. This is huge as I dislike having to track a collection of cables for various products that are only plugged in on occasion. It also makes travel a bit easier as you can always find a USB cable in a store if needed but trying to locate some one-off style charger can be a challege.Next, I was pleasantly surprised at just how well this cuts. I've used a lot of other trimmers that get the job done but they are clearly designed for trimming and don't feel very powerful. This one made me think it could possibly do as well as my clippers which leads to the next point - it does!I've used a set of corded clippers to cut my hair close but not shave it for many years. This trimmer (by the same manufacturer) cuts just as close, just as fast, and eliminates the cord!.I am impressed by this trimmer and am glad that I decided to some research before just buying one like the last one I enjoyed using. I highly recommend this product if you're interested in it

Best buzzer I've ever used
I've had for over a year now. It's sturdy and does the job. You don't have to worry about the lengths shifting on you mid haircut. The ability to preset multiple lengths is a nice feature.

Love it
I bought this model several years ago and it was a champ. I broke it being careless and bought a new one. No regrets, highly recommend it.
