Customer Reviews of Remington R-9170 Titanium MicroFlex Ultra Cord/Cordless
Customer Review: I returned it!
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: Reasonable shave but short battery life
Summary: 2 Stars
I've liked my R-9170 for the past year that I've been using it. The closeness is OK, probably the best I've ever gotten from an electric shaver but nowhere near as close as a blade shave. But the real disappointment is that battery life is short, and it is not designed to be user-replaceable. Now even when I use it corded, there are times when it acts as though it is out of power & doesn't want to shave. That is a real disappointment. I didn't expect to be back in the marker for a shaver after only a year. I'd avoid this unit, and at least look for one with replaceable batteries.Customer Review: Poor Quality

Got mine as XMAS gift 2005, in less than a year the silver paint on the razor head began to fade off. Ordered another from Remington with the correct part number and they sent me a bronze color razor head for my silver shaver. Called customer service and made lame excuse asking me to go to return it for a refund. Return postage would have cost more than the part. BUY NORELCO.Customer Review: GOOD SHAVE , BUT TOO FRAGILE,

I have used Remington for 25 years but R 9170 gives a very good shave but head components and hinges are plastic!!! Was going to buy two because price was very good, but plastic components and hinges made me change my mind. Decided to buy new blades for my old remington!!!!!Customer Review: Lame design - failure model
Summary: 2 Stars
It does not shave smooth. After you shave, you will still feel like you have sheved a day before, not just now. Each time after I shave with it my skin itches for a while, especially under the lower lip.
I don't recommend this product at all.
