Remington MB4040 - Trimmer - cordless

Initially my razor worked well. The initial charge of the battery done as directed. Battery slowly started holding less and less charge to its current status which is pretty frustrating. "Full Charge" allows trim of moustache and shave only half of face around my beard. At this point the Remington MB4040 is pretty much useless!

I typically use my trimmers to dry shave since razors give me razor bumps. With the multiple heads and multiple settings, I am able to give myself a haircut, properly maintain my hairline, and also shave my beard. Better than what I expected, and fully worth the price.

The trimmer is very good and trims very well. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the lock in length settings don't give you the option to leave your beard at a desired level. The jump from length level 1 and 2 is negligible and 2-3 is a LOT. So if I leave the length setting to 2, my beard length is almost the same length as leaving it at level 1 and if I leave it at 3, it's too long. Battery life is very good and lasts for a while.

Had a Remington mb 40 for years until the thin plastic that held the metal cutter just broke off on one side ..no part available was very upset.. The unit was fine ..battery work and lasted for all these years. Researched all review on Remington and other manufactures and wound up choosing this model. I use is more for body hair and the sensitive place. The different cutter blade work just fine for those areas and no pinching. Use a few time and even my wife for the bikini cuts she loves it. I guess a beard is a beard. The only thing I'm not sure of is the thin head/comb ..hope it holds up. They said oil the blade but did not supply any like of company"s do. Can live with it.

I Have owned this a few months now, the trimmer has the longest charge user time of any trimmer I've used. It does take many many passes to get a nice trim. The number one cutting setting is not short enough. My old Remington measuring system was much better. But happy with trimmer.
