plug and adapter with charging cable so so happy this does the job and the handle works well for the whole back
New Clippers are a big disappointment – I'm a long term user of Remington shavers and hair clippers and usually expect to get at least two years use out of them. This product was purchased… Read more
in 2023 from BigW. On opening the box, I noticed that they are much lighter than traditional clippers. This is because they are primarily plastic construction with a cheap rotating motor and offset spindle to move the blades.
On first use I noticed the motor slowing considerably when applied to short hair. The motor often took a long time to get up to speed.
With less than 10 uses, the clippers have now stopped altogether. Remington weren't much interested, saying that they would pass my feedback on; sorry, that's it. So I dismantled the unit to have a look. Hair from the blades can go straight into the drive mechanism, where it is caught by the lubricant and promptly gums up the works. But even after carefully removing all hair, the motor is very slow and stops if you even breathe on it. This is not a product which is well designed or intended to last any length of time. I reckon you would be lucky for it to last out the warranty.
I bought this hair dryer to go in my suitcase for a trip I was taking. It has a folding handle, so it's compact and easy to pack. Even though it's a travel hair dryer it's powerful, so I'm happy it does everything my home hairdryer does.

Not impressed with Target or the brush – I purchased this product from Target 3 weeks ago. At first it was great,if a little heavy.In the small time period of 3 weeks,I lost the funstion of… Read more
the bottom 2 heat settings. Setting 1 did not warm up at all.Setting 2 was cool enough to touch with your bare hands. Setting 3 was so hot I could smell my hair burning. I took it back to Target asking for an exchange,as sometimes you just end up with a lemon.I was told that because I had bought it on sale,there was no exchange only a refund and I would have to purchase a new one at full price. Not impressed with Target!!! I have purchased another brush and we will see how long this lasts. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I have owned several of these. I never go to the barber shop. I just use the arc detail trimmer head to take a little bit of hair off each day. They have saved me a lot of money, not having to pay for haircuts.
Not bad but not good either – This straightener straightens hair alright. It is light weight and very pretty in person. It heats up super fast however it gets very hot to handle… Read more
as well pretty fast. I have long curly hair and it didnt take me long to straighten it. However it didnt make my hair soft as it promised. My hair was left very dry after using it. The straightness of my hair lasted till the next wash. It is an ok product unless you are looking for it to improve your hair quality( it wont).
Long lasting – This was a gift in 2009 and has lasted 11 years. It has worked well on my fine medium length hair. Only negative is the black matt coating got quite shabby and felt tacky towards the end.
Does exactly what it’s supposed to do – Heats up fast and maintains the temp. In the past I always used GHD’s and they used to iron my hair so flat it would leave it looking greasy and… Read more
lifeless. The Remington straightens without starving your hair of any body or moisture. It is comfortable to use and seamlessly glides through your hair. I use it for straightening and curling and both are quick and effortless to do. Overall I’m very impressed.
Best nose hair trimmer hands down! Double edge trimmer works great! Close and accurate. No pulling. Great value!
Worst hair dryer – While I don’t expect much for $20, this hair dryer is by far the worst I’ve ever used. The first time I used it with the nozzle, it started to melt… Read more
within 5 minutes. Now the nozzle doesn’t fit at all.
The one star is for the pretty sparkle colour and nothing more.
Not good – Disappointed with this curler. But i cant complain too much with this price. I used it for two days and dont use it anymore. The hot ironing part may have a cheap metal? I wasted my money
This is definitely a SCAM be aware !!!!!!! I ordered my hair straight & curl styler at the end of December. Have sent so many emails that I have lost… Read more
count, have only received 3 back just saying they are sorry, but it will arrive soon nonsense. It is in April now I just want my money back. I just keep sending emails to them, to upset them and it helps me too, this way I can get my frustrations out from being scam.

Bad quality hair dryer – This hair dryer is very cheaply made. It is very light however and easy to use. I didnt like how the plastic on the outside looked and felt. The… Read more
three settings of air flow were not good either. It blew cold air on cold and medium setting and hardly warm air on the third strongest setting. It didnt dry my hair at all. The diffuser that came with it is very small and cheep as well. My hair were not soft after drying, so I think that the shea oil is a marketing plot. I dont recommend this product.
Purchased one of these from the shaver shop after having Phillips shavers over the years. I have had it for 3 months and just threw it in the bin. This is rubbish you get exactly what you pay for.

Effective quick hair trimming – I've had the Remington rapid cut ultimate for a month, I've used it a couple of times with the wide 1.5mm guide. I like that it has a wide range of… Read more
wide and narrow guides, something some manufacturers or models don't have, though I haven't used the narrow trimmers yet. The trimmers are all dedicated, rather than the less useful single trimmer with adjustable length.
I find the trimmer comfortable to hold and effective to cut hair. Because of its width it's much quicker than narrower trimmers I've used in the past. I don't have an opinion on battery life yet, but my other Remington trimmers last a long time between charges, I'll update this review if I find anything different.
I also have the Conair Crew Cut, a circular hair trimmer. The Remington has completely replaced that product. The Crew Cut is fine, probably a similar time to do a hair cut, but the Remington is more versatile. You have more control with the Remington, you can do sideburns more easily. and it produces a more even cut.
All in all I think this was a good purchase, and I'd buy it again.
Lovely Hair Dryer – I bought this a s a little treat for myself after putting up with a travel hair dryer as my main dryer for way too long. What a difference! It feels… Read more
great in the hand and blows so much more air with far better control. I must say I have no idea what I was waiting for there is no comparison of having a full sized salon dryer again. I enjoy using it every morning - its great
My son purchased this shaver for my birthday, and it works fantastic, gives me a really close shave without any irritation
Good clean shaver, and at a great price, – Just used for 1st time my new Remington F5500AU Shaver. I am quite happy with it, as it works fine & runs smooth and removed all stubble and… Read more
whiskers, that my old Remington had "failed" to remove over the last weeks due to the foil & cutters being badly worn. It runs & cuts alot quieter and slower than my last old Remington F4900AU, but still gives a very good & clean shave. This is my 4th Remington now purchased over the last 40 years.
Great dryer but not a comfortable handle – I was lucky to be invited to the Best In Beauty event in Sept 2024 and received this hair dryer to try. The dryer itself looks elegant & comes with… Read more
4 attachments which is great. They are easy to change & sit secure compared to some others.
I will start with my negative first because I find the handle uncomfortable as quite big compared to what I am used to, and I struggle to hold it in my hand properly it is quite uncomfortable and not easy to get a good grip on.
As for it drying my hair it does a great job with the concentrator. The flyaway tamer is a great addition I have never seen before as an attachment and works too.
My hair is slightly wavy so I get the best of both worlds with the diffuser as can use it to make by waves more defined and into a curl and with the concentrator can do a straight style easily.
*This product was received for free as a trial product for my true & honest opinion whether positive or negative.
After trying other head shavers that stopped working within a year, I purchased the Remington Balder Pro. I have had for two years now and it is… Read more
still going strong. Since my initial purchase, I bought replacement blades, each blade set lasts around 12 months. Replacement blades are readily available.
The shaver works very well, always does a great job and is easy to use. I use it every day and it has not stopped working once. Many people compliment me on how well my head is shaved.
If it did stop working, I would buy another one. It is great value.
Good product – Very happy with this hair straightener that is very affordable and light. It can heat up to 230 degree and I use it at 160 degree that only took a few minutes to heat up. So fast and good quality
It's does the job – This is the second Remington hair straightener I have purchased, the first one lasted me 11 years and I loved it, this one is lighter, and I feel it does the job but not quite as well as my old one, still very good price at 89 dollars,
Probably 3 stars on the device, but bumped to a 4 star due to bang for buck value. I'm a long time electric razor user. It wasn't until my Remington… Read more
RS8503 3 foil shaver finally gave up the ghost after 35+ yrs of semi regular use, that I was forced to buy another shaver. The old shaver was a reliable thing, 3 close shaving foils, a pop up full width trimmer, perfect in the hand fit, the head shape reasonably svelte allowing even some foil based edge marking and trimming along the goatee line. The new razor had a lot to live up to.
I ended up buying the Remington F7 Style, 3 foil shaver, largely because it was a Remington, looked to have most of my old shaver's features and because it was at a decent price (have you seen the price of some shavers on offer these days?).
The pros - It does the expected job, surprisingly no better than my old shaver so it's not like the foils and cutters have improved over the years, but the shave is acceptably close. The foils are flexible. If the stubble isn't long, it powers through a reliable shave in quick time. It is somewhat of a different fit in the hand due to the long "handle" but the back of the handle is rubberised, so with a small grip adjustment it stays reasonably well positioned. It has a pop up trimmer. It has a stubble trimmer attachment that fits over the foils (not keen to give that a go though). It is cordless. Price point was excellent. The LED battery level indicator is clear and it seems that the battery will deliver the advertised 80mins of shaving per charge - at least while the battery is fresh.
The cons - it has an "intercept trimmer" between the first and second foils which is completely useless and means that the shaving head is "fatter" than 3 foils. If this had been relocated to one side like on my old shaver, it would have been a perfectly capable and usable trimmer. The pop up trimmer is about 25mm wide and in a difficult location to use effectively. It is cordless which means that at some point the battery capacity will fade (planned obsolescence?) The sides of the shaver aren't rubberised (like the old shaver) so can be harder to grip. The shaving head is much wider at the base than at the foils which obscures the vision slightly making it somewhat harder to judge when using a foil for edging the goatee line.
Not perfect but functional and adequate.
Maybe I should have splashed out for one of those more expensive shavers?!
