Customer Reviews of Remington HKVAC-2000 Precision Vacuum Haircut Kit
Customer Review: For those of you who cut your own hair...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the nicest haircutting unit I have used. It works more accurately than those other vacuum units on the market, and is quieter and cleaner than other clippers. For those of you who cut your own hair, or the hair of your family members, this is a must for your home.Customer Review: No mess no cleanup.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased 3 previous haircut kits and none compare to this one. This is the greatest purchase I have made in along time. No mess no cleanup. Super product.Customer Review: There was always hair all over the floor...
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife has been cutting my hair with a shaver for the past 8 years - what little of it I have left :) We always do the haircut in the bathroom because it was the easiest place to clean up the mess afterwards. There was always hair all over the floor, my clothes, etc. After the haircut we would have to vacuum the floor and use wet paper towels to get up all the little pieces.
With this shaver, there was practically NOTHING on the floor when we were done. There were only tiny specs of hair on my shirt, which was easy enough to throw in the wash.
To make it even better, my 4 year old always hated getting his hair cut because he said it was too itchy and bothered him. We showed him this shaver and how it doesn't make him itchy, and now he can't wait to get his haircut. He thinks it is the neatest thing!
Customer Review: Normally I would wash my hair-then cut-then wash/rinse my hair a second time to get all of the little hairs still imbedding in my hair out so I can style it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I never have left a comment on Amazon before. But this haircut kit is what I been waiting for. The few hairs that escape are no biggie. I can give myself a quick trim AFTER the shower. Normally I would wash my hair-then cut-then wash/rinse my hair a second time to get all of the little hairs still imbedding in my hair out so I can style it. If you have really long hair and plan to cut hair off over 2". It might not fit in the vacuums nozzle. Besides the cool vac feature, it does a clean job of cutting as well.Customer Review: Worse...
Summary: 3 Stars
Delivery was not a problem and was at my house within a week of ordering.
I purchased this unit specifically for cutting my son's hair (3 years old). I've been doing it with a conventional buzzer since his first haircut and I figured this would eliminate the itchy-ness that bothers him. Unfortunately, this razor creates nothing but problems.
The razor works as advertised but it fails miserably with thin, fine hair like that of my son's. The hair trap mechanism uses a fine mesh screen to catch the hair similiar to a juicing machine. With very fine hair, it fails to capture a small portion of it since it easily passes through the screen mesh. Worse, the escaping hair is blown out the exhaust port of the razor and flies everywhere. After about 2 minutes of haircutting, about 20% of his hair was scattered all over the tile floor in a three foot radius of where he was sitting.
Another problem is that the suction doesn't seem to be very powerful. It relies heavily on gravity for the hair to fall towards the opening of the hair trap and then the suction takes over. In the normal cutting method of 'bottom to top' motion, it does a good job. If you use the razor sideways or upside down (ie: buzz the top of the head), there seems to be alot of loose hair that gets away.
One positive is that the blades are titanium coated and require no oil for the life of the unit. Another is that the unit has good vibration dampening so less "buzzing" action in your hand. Believe it or not, I think that this extra dampening is detrimental in cutting hair because you can't feel or hear the hair being cut with the unit. When creating a 'fade' from shorter to longer hair, it's difficult to get consistent results as compared to a conventional razor. Unit is slightly bulky in size due to the addition of the vacuum and hair trap.
Overall, I think this might be helpful for some people with thicker hair. I can easily see this razor being jammed with hair longer than 1-2" in length and with a relatively small hair trap, you will have to empty it often. Unless loose hair bothers you during the haircut, I wouldn't recommend buying it. Stick with a good conventional buzzer.
