Blade covers flex as soon as you apply the slightest of pressure resulting in an uneven cut and line(bald patches) everywhere!

I have tried many beard trimmers, most of which were either returned or thrown away shortly after purchase. This is due to my thick beard and most of the beard trimmers I have tried are not up to the task of cutting it. For example: I have had a Wahl trimmer get stuck in my beard so badly that it had to be cut out (I was not happy). I trim my beard about every three days and this trimmer has been working great. No bog down and I can cut as fast as I like.

Yes, I recommend this product.

After using this only a few times, I've decided it will now be the only hair grooming product I use. It's perfect for trimming body and head hair with several guard lengths, and it's great for shaving my face without a guard since I prefer a slight stubble look. It actually felt almost "soft" on my face which is nice, and takes care of the hair easily. Easy to clean too since the top part pops up and you can just run water over it.

The ergo design is really well done, it fits in my hand just right. The usb charge capability and carrying case work great for travel. Overall a perfect groomer.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The matte finish on this has a great feel to it which allows for great grip while in use. The weight also adds a lot to this product, it doesn't feel light or flimsy, which makes it easy to use accurately. The boost also allows this to cut through the thicker parts of my hair. Seems like a great product so far but I haven't had it long so I cant speak for its longevity.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Unadjustable clipper blade makes hair cut dificult
Good product, beautiful clipper, lovely ergonomic design. Looks good in the charging stand too. However, it's not an ideal clipper for Afro American hair. The cutting blade of the clipper is fixed and cannot be adjusted, though, it has this tinny tiny plastic comb that can be proped out from the clipper onto the top of the blade. It serves no purpose for hair, as blades idealy cut hair from beneith and not ontop (why have a stubble comb ontop of blades. Not nicely thot I guess). Iwhen I used your clipper for my hair, the smallest detachable attachement wont cut any hair, when i tried using the clipper with its stubble comb to achieve low cut, it shaved my hair all way like the advert. it's got 3 other comb adjustments. The smallest of which is like using stage 2/3 of other clipper adjustment (so pretty useless). However, if you love to leave lots of hair this might be useful. Now I'm reduced to using my clipper as stubble and beard trimmer except that I have to press it hard against my skin to achieve a good shave (what a waste of my money, i intendend using this for hair). Even as a beard trimmer, it's difficult to achieve a sharp carving at the edges of beards (if you love a sharp looking goaty or teddy). Make a modification to this product with blade adjustable and it will compete with any product out there and will probably get 5* rating.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Plastic guide Covers NO GOOD

PostedMay 3, 2012

It's like buying a Ferrari with cheap bargain tires. It just does not work. A shame because it is a good powerfull and well designed tool. Remington just made a hge mistake sourcing the cheap plastic comb guides that break easily.

How do I figure out when my HC5550 is fully charged?

I have a Remington HC5550. When I plug it in to charge it, the orange LED turns on. But how do I figure out when it is fully charged so I can unplug it, since the LED doesn't change color or turn off to let me know?

Answer: 

You can slide it into position while using any guard and it will clip the hair in a way that makes it look slightly rougher. This to some people is a preferred look, to super clean cut.

Also, you can slide it into position, with no guard and for longer hair just slightly edge the ends to create a texture look
