Customer Reviews of Remington MB300DT/2 Titanium PrecisionPro Cord/Cordless Mustache & Beard Trimmer
Customer Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Really like the trimmer. Still getting used to it but it is much better than my old oneCustomer Review: A good trimmer with the added bonus of (some) vaccuum capability
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Remington Precision Pro MB-400 Titanium Vaccuum Mustache and Beard Trimmer after having tried the Norelco T-970 Accuvac Trimmer, and there is no comparison - the Remington is better in every way.
Great things about the Remington:
1) quality of the trimming accessories - it holds together nicely. It is well built, especially compared to the Norelco. I must admit my old Wahl and Remington were more sturdy than either of these newer products though.
2) A great cut - the trimmer is very even for me.
Downsides:
1) If the battery is low, you cannot run on electricity by directly plugging in. I find that if I am trimming every other day, I must plug in at least every other week. Fortunately, you cannot over charge it (according to Remington) so this is ok.
2) I think all these companies set you up for disappiontment when it comes to the vaccuum... The truth is that no vaccuum is really going to catch all the hair when it is as compact as these items are. But it does a good job all things considered, and is certainly better than no vaccuum at all.
In summary, the Remington is a good choice for a trimmer and superior to the other vaccuum alternative, the Norelco T970.
Customer Review: Gets the job done - 5 o clock shadow
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent a long time searching for a shaver that promised me a 5 o clock shadow look.
After doing extensive research, i ruled out the "vaccum" models , since i didnt expect to keep a long beard. I wanted, just enough for a 2-3 day stubble.
1) Build quality - The MB300 felt solid in my hand .
2) Efficiency - Well , one of the reviewers had said that the Remington MB300 is not suitable for very short facial hair and i agree with him . Out of the box , this is true, even with the setting set to 1(Lowest) . Though reminton says that the 1-2 settings gives a 5 o clock shadow, i dont agree .
But if one removes the protector , then one can get a close trim. I wanted an even shorter trim. Finally, the pop trimmer gave me the look that i wanted , a smart 2-3 days look stubble. Were it not for the pop up trimmer, i might have returned this one.
Guys who plan to buy the MB400 should not that , it doesn't have a pop up trimmer.
3) The first few times that i used it , i experienced slight skin irritation .I attribute this to my inability to use the trimmer correctly.Its better now.
Overall, i am happy "now". A dual voltage option would have been great .
Customer Review: Great product - for now
Summary: 4 Stars
Received it a couple of days ago and charged er up. The trim was great at the lowest setting, the perfect length for me. It was short enough and very smooth. I've used Wahl trimmers for the past 20+ years and have been satisfied with their function and value but they changed their adjustable clipper last time around.
This trimmer would have received 5 stars until I started cleaning the darn thing. I brushed it off then lifted the blade up as instructed. The blade fell off and I had quite a time getting it back on. I noticed that there is just a thin piece of plastic holding the blade on the trimmer. I'm concerned that this will, with time, be a problem. But in the meanwhile, I'm quite happy with it.
1/22/2008 Update: I returned this product because it would not charge the second time I tried. In the meantime I had purchased the same trimmer at TJ Maxx on clearance. If that one fails too, it's back to the reliable (although not the greatest beard guard) Wahl.
BTW, the Amazon returns process definitely gets a 5 star rating. In 4 years or so I have only had to return a couple of items (a great ratio) but it doesn't get much easier.
Customer Review: Great trimmer - with a few changes
Summary: 4 Stars
This trimmer is decent quality. The battery hold a charge well, and the trimmer trims well. My only two gripes are as follows:
1. You have to remove the trim guard to use the pop-up trimmer. This is a true pain, as you have to hold the adjustment wheel to ensure that the adjuster doesn't turn when removing the guard - or do as I do and just remove the guard and when putting it back on recheck and adjust the adjusting wheel as necessary. I had an old Norelco (I think) that did not have this problem. Also, the adjustment wheel is easily "accidentally" adjusted by brushing up against it. Not a big deal, but my old Norelco had a twist grip type of adjustment that stayed put.
2. The size, seems a little large and can be difficult to maneuver for fine trimming (moustache area).
Overall and happy with the product and would recommend it.
