Customer Reviews of Remington R-9170 Titanium MicroFlex Ultra Cord/Cordless
Customer Review: Terrible...
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had several electric razors over the years some expensive and some inexpensive. This is the worst, hands down. It does a horrible job, the first time I used it I thought it hadn't been charged long enough, so I plugged it in. Nothing changed, I don't understand how this company could let this product hit the market. Terrible, horrible, awful!!!!!!!!!Customer Review: The R-9170 cost more than the $50 Norelco and I'll take that crummy Norelco anyday!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using Norelco for 38 years (followed my Grandfather and Dad). But the last $50 Norelco was not that good, so I tried the Titanium Ultra R-9170. Right from the start I had problems -- very poor design: hard to turn on (often takes several times) and it's awkward to remove the top for cleaning. Plus the hinge will probably break. And that's the good news. Now for the bad -- the R-9170 does not come close to Norelco's for a close shave. Even shaving longer does not help. Plus, the after shave irritation alone deserves a return. The R-9170 cost more than the $50 Norelco and I'll take that crummy Norelco anyday!Customer Review: I had gone back to manual blades because I couldn't get as close but this shaver seems to do the trick.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really believe the claim that the titanium on the blades makes them sharper. This shaver gives me a closer shave than any electric I have tried previously. I had gone back to manual blades because I couldn't get as close but this shaver seems to do the trick. I also like the fact that I can take this razor overseas with me since it converts to other volts.Customer Review: The titanium blades are super sharp;
Summary: 5 Stars
I was interested in trying out rotary blades (after a Panasonic dual-foil that did just an ok job), so I picked up this Remington, and I'm very pleased with the quality of the shave. The titanium blades are super sharp; no razor burn. Plus, the rotary blades make it a lot easier to shave my neck and just under my jaw. Great product. Customer Review: It only takes a few minutes and is very easy.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this for about seven months now. I have never really liked electric shavers...they always seem to cause bad razor burn on my neck. Well, since this was gift from my wife, I thought I would give it a shot. I used it a couple times and it felt like somebody had jabbed needles in my face. LOL So, not to be outdone and determined to make this work, I went and bought an electric razor shaving stick. I just rubbed this powder all over my face and started shaving. It really works. I don't get the razor burn anymore from this shaver and it feels like my face is smoother as well. I also now always start with shaving my neck first. I have also had very good results from using Williams Lectric Shave Electric Razor Pre-Shave (green formula with Tea Tree oil). The razor is easy to rinse out when you're through. But you should manually take the blades out, clean and oil them every couple of weeks. It only takes a few minutes and is very easy. Anyway, I am very happy overall with the quality and performance of this razor. It still can't beat a Schick Quattro (or any multi-blade razor), but I find myself using it more and the Schick less. I think to get the most benefit from any electric shaver, you really should buy a quality pre-shave treatment of some sort.
Description of Remington R-9170 Titanium MicroFlex Ultra Cord/Cordless
Remington produced the world's first electric shaver in 1937, and continues to be a leader in shaving technology. Titanium is the company's latest break-through. When coated with titanium, blades stay sharper longer than stainless steel for an extra close, comfortable shave. Ergonomically designed with no-slip insets, this model features three ultra-flexing round heads that float independently to hug face and neck contours. Moreover, the heads are ultra-thin, which allows the blades to get as close to the skin as possible. A nifty one-inch trimmer pops up to define sideburns, mustaches, and necklines. An added benefit of this razor is that it can be used either with the 5-foot stretch cord or without, and features quick charge. A one-hour quick charge provides 40 minutes of shaving time, while a five-minute charge is enough for one shave. This model features a green light that indicates the shaver is either charging or charged. A red low-battery light indicates approximately five minutes of shaving time remains. Cleaning this razor is a breeze--squeeze the release buttons to flip up the head attachment, then blow, brush, or rinse out any stubble. A cleaning brush is included, along with a zippered, padded carry pouch and protective head guard. The shaver automatically converts to other voltages worldwide, making it great for travel. Remington covers the shaver with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a two-year warranty against defects.--Ann BieriMen's
