Remington and Philips Norelco Review by a Bald Guy with Lots of Facial Hair

So in October 2018 I bought a Philips Norelco MG3750/50 Multifunction Groomer (13 pack) to replace the Remington Body Groomer PG525 Lithium Powered. Set, trimmers (10 pcs.) Bought in April 2018. Remington lasted less than 6 months - the battery just died without warning, I had to throw it away. If I had spent $100 I would have been more upset but for the price I knew I got what I paid for. In any case, I should have read the Remington reviews more carefully, as the cheap battery seems to be a common criticism. Well, lesson learned. Let's get to Philips Norelco. I hesitated as the price was comparable to Remington. But I followed my gut feeling and ordered it anyway. I'm in luck as this one works as advertised and then something else - for now keep in mind it's only been around two months since Philips Norelco. What I like about the Philips Norelco is that the tips work much better than the Remington tips. Philips Norelco has a '1' blade attachment which is handy for trimming my beard after a day or two of growth rather than going straight to an unprotected trimmer - Remington doesn't have a '1' blade attachment for this purpose. Also, the unprotected Remington trimmer cut me a few times when trimming facial hair, while the Philips Norelco runs much smoother as it has more blade exit I think (maybe faster blades?). I like the Philips Norelco Blade Snap-In, which at first glance might seem like an extra step up from the Remington, but you can actually clean the Philips Norelco a little better in my opinion, and it just feels like it's better made . I have a personal issue: I wish the heads on these little groomers/trimmers were a little bigger, but from what I see online head size is the industry norm. If the battery becomes an issue with that, I'll comment on this review for you. Until then, ignore the reviews and don't waste your time on Remington, buy Philips Norelco!
