Summary: Did what it had to
Comment: Overall, I was very pleased with this product. I had been searching for a body hair shaver for a while, and this did the trick nicely. The adjustable trimmer is able to cut hair well to different lengths, and it is very easy to clean. I haven't tried the shaver yet, but it is a nice little accessory. The only problem occurs if you aren't careful when you remove the adjustable trimmer head, as it can cut sensitive areas pretty easily, so watch out! The product is pretty small and easily stored, and it looks sleek as well. Very pleased!

Summary: Great lil Trimmer
Comment: I bought this for my beard mostly and it works like a champ. A good clean cut, the dial for adjustments is easy and the setting doesnt change on you in mid stroke. A very well built item, I would buy this model again if I needed to replace it.

Summary: It works great
Comment: I had never used a clipper before and was a little nervous. The adjustable comb makes it very easy to use. I look better now because I can keep my hair looking how I like it rather than having it grow too long before I go to the barber. Because it is waterproof, I can use it in the shower and take care of the clippings. I have had it two weeks and have already paid for it.

Summary: Not Multi-Volt as stated on Mfr. website
Comment: I purchased this shaver to take overseas and unfortunately it is not dual voltage as it claims to be on Remington's website. I only purchased this after downloading the user guide on their website which clearly shows it as 120-240 VAC 50-60Hz on pg. 11 of the user guide; what I received is only 120 Volt 60Hz. I'm not sure if I received an older model which has since been updated or if this is just an error; either way I have to return it. The shaver seems like it would've worked for my needs but I didn't get to use it. It's actually a lot smaller than I expected and comes with a travel pouch, a tiny brush and a small bottle of oil.

Summary: Do you like pain?
Comment: Because you will feel some if you use this on your stuff.
The groomer comes with two detachable and switchable heads--a trimmer and a shaver. (The former has an adjustable guard which lets you trim to five different lengths.) If you've let things get away from you, the trimmer will do an OK job of mowing that down some. But to trim close enough for the shaver to even have a chance, you have to remove the trimmer guard.
Once I'd drawn enough blood with the unguarded trimmer, I switched to my Mach3, which did a decent-enough job smoothing things out.
Long story short, the shaver attachment is essentially useless, because you can never trim close enough without shredding your unmentionables for the shaver to have any effect.
My recommendation? Trim as close as you can WITH THE GUARD ON, and then finish up with your Mach3.
PS: Haven't tried it in the shower, but supposedly it will work wet.
Update (7/16/2008): It works quite well unguarded on neck hair. I trim that hair more often than I trim the hair farther down, so I have to say, the utility of this product has gone up for me. And I have washed it with dish-soap and water, and it still works, so that's another plus. I would up this groomer to three stars if I could, but Amazon won't let me.
