Review on Remington R5000 Series Rotary Shaver by Julie Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good battery life. Too loud

Bought a Remington PR1260 R5 in February 2015. I waited a year to rate them as it takes time to rate reliability and durability. Pros: (1) I've tracked how many minutes I've shaved on a single charge: 60 minutes new, another 60 minutes today, which I think is great; (2) gives me a great shave, especially around my large but delicate Adam's apple; (3) easy to hold and lightweight; (4) easy to clean under hot running water; (5) The trimmer is useful for sideburns and hair around nose and ears. Bad points: (1) very noisy; (2) the green low battery indicator is practically useless as it only comes on when there is only 1-2 minutes of battery left - an indicator showing the remaining charge would be more useful; (3) I haven't tested it for drops, but judging by its lightweight plastic construction, one drop onto the bathroom floor, or maybe just a countertop, and it's dead.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Upgradable
