Customer Review: Makes a professional cut possible without the cost!
Summary: 5 Stars
Found this product several years ago in a large retail chain store. Have used it faithfully every 3-4 weeks to cut my husband's hair. Immediately fell in love with it, especially the vacuum feature! No more hairs down the neck, inside the shirt, on the floor...so no more itchiness after the cut! Hair collects neatly in the reservoir with easy empty feature. Many length options, so start with the longer, and experiment til you find the right length. The plain edge without attachments is great for trimming neckline. Slanted heads don't seem to work well with this user, need to learn the technique. Plugs in, has nice long cord, so it keeps the power for the whole job because of no battery. Saves lots of money at the barber's. Little scissors that comes with it is pretty sharp and a handy size. BEST PART...we just ordered a replacement because we are afraid Remington might stop making these. The first one is still working...but the price on Amazon is right, and we don't want to have to make a trip to barber's if and when our first one stops working! Also, can't find it in stores any longer! Have recommended this whenever we get the chance!Customer Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave myself a haircut for the first time. I like my hair fairly short. I used the 1" guide and buzzed my head in the opposite direction of the grain. The around the ear trimmer attachments worked well. Careful there. They will cut short close to the ear. The neck was a bit tricky but using a hand held mirror and my bathroom mirror I was able to get it done. The end result was short but still comb-able.
The hair pickup system holds more hair than it looks like it will. It was easy to open and clean. It doesn't get all the hair but does get most of it. I still used a towel over my shoulders and showered when through. Clean up was easy. Hardly anything left on the floor.
For longer hair I would reccommend a friend to do the cutting. It includes a manual with some instructions.
I have a friend that gets the same thing I did for $15 plus tip per cut. This clipper set more than pays for itself after two cuts.
This is not for the preson that want's really stylish haircuts (unless your friend is a barber). For us regular Joes it's an A+
Customer Review: A Very Pleasant Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
After my stylist butchered my hair for the third time. I decided to take matters in to my own hands and start cutting my own hair. For whatever reason he has been unable to cut my hair evenly. And since I live in a small town there aren't many alternatives.
After reading all the reviews for both the Remington and the Flowbee. I selected the Remington because of its many positive reviews and low price.
I ordered it four days ago and it arrived this morning. After a quick read of the instruction manual I decided to attempt to correct my stylist's latest mistakes.
Amazingly, it worked beautifully! It smoothed out the uneven patches and fixed several problem areas. When I finished, I had what I consider to be a professional haircut and on my first attempt to boot!
While it's not perfect ... it's close. With a little more practice I'm sure I will only get better at cutting my own hair.
I highly recommend this product because it does what you expect it to do. Haircuts made simple. 5 STARS...
Customer Review: Vacuum Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
These clippers work quite well & the vacuum seems to collect about 99% of the hair. I've been cutting my own hair for about 16 years but I always put it off for a few months in between cuts due to the hassle of having to shake out my shirt, vacuum the floor & take another shower afterward. I wasn't really expecting these to work very well but thought I'd give them a try anyhow, glad I did. They collect almost all the hair except a few stray pieces here & there which are easily brushed off the shirt or rinsed down the sink. Quite surprisingly I didn't find any hair on the floor to vacuum & I didn't even have to change my shirt or take a shower after using them, they're that good. They also have a very long cord which makes them much easier & more convenient to maneuver than my old clippers. I use the #8 (1") comb on my head for a tidy but not buzzed look & the #4 (1/2") comb on my goatee.Customer Review: Very inexpensive, easy cleanup, and extremely durable

Dollar for dollar, i would suggest that this kit is the best value on Amazon. The vacuum does not act like a "flowbee", or whatever they are called; it does not aid in the actual cutting process. The vacuum is solely for cleaning up the hair as you cut, so this trimmer acts the same way any standard trimmer does, only it cleans up after you!
Decide for yourself if the following point is a good or bad thing: I find the blades at times to be TOO sharp. I have caused myself to bleed slightly on a couple occasions while trimming hair near the crooks of the elbows (the part you can see when your palms are facing the ceiling). If you use these trimmers for such strange purposes, be sure to stretch the skin smoothly before attacking. It is this sharpness, however, that leads me to believe that these blades will last a long time before they become dull.
