This model is fully immersible in water so it can be used in the shower or bath as well as in dry conditions. The groomer operates on one AA battery (not included), which yields 90 minutes of use. This grooming tool has a protective cap for when it's not in use and is compact enough to travel with you in a gym bag or carry-on suitcase. --Cristina Vaamonde

Panacea for the hirsutely challenged .....

I've had this trimmer for 2 years now, and what a trouper it's been! I'm one of those evolutionary challenged individuals whom nature forgot when it slowly eliminated fur from teh great apes. It was getting to a point where I seriously considered braiding the unsightly nose hair and perhaps start a new trend a la nose piercing, and call it nostril art. I could claim I was only expressing my artistic side.

My wife got this for my birthday after several bouts of serious sneezing when we were intimate. I have not looked back since. Despite the fact that my sink clogs up with massive amounts of hair this trimmer mows them down and keeps going. Kudos to Panasonic for designing an essential product in every red blooded man's toilet kit!

a good trim

My first effort at facial hair, and I wanted a trim look from the start. This trimmer fits my needs very nicely, the trim guard lets me control beard length easily. The "turbo" mode is also a nice feature. A good product from a trusted company (Remington).

Confusing...

The Good:

Appears to trim just fine. I bought this primarily for a mustache trimmer and it seems to work just fine (only used it once).

The Bad:

When I initially turned it on (with brand new batteries), it ran really fast (and a bit loud - no big deal). However, after about ten seconds, the speed dropped down significantly, but then seemed to hold steady at the lower speed. The metal blades also became quite warm to the touch. What I figured out was it needed oiling! A drop of the supplied oil and the speed went back up and the "warmth" went away too. My guess is this unit was packaged quite awhile ago (it is an older model, isn't it?) and the pre-applied oil must have dried out a bit? It might have been helpful in the instructions to indicate a drop of oil may be necessary prior to first use.

The Confusing:

The unit takes two AA batteries. One (the left one) sits snugly in the bottom of the compartment. The other sits just to the right and on top of the other battery, raised up so the two batteries are diagonal from each another. I initially thought the plastic battery guide on the one end forcing the second battery into this position was misaligned. But it seems to work fine in this diagonal alignment. A simple note in the instructions of the diagonal battery alignment would have been nice.


good, but not great

This is the third Wahl trimmer that I have. This one does the job, but somehow this model does not seem as handy as the other two I have had. It may just be getting used to the attachments, but I don't like these as well.

A good, simple wet-dry shaver

I've been using this product and its very-similar predecessors since the early 80's. I've owned Norelco's (which were scary random hair-yanking machines)and also more-expensive Panasonic wet-dry shavers (which worked as well as this one, or better). For my purposes, though, I keep coming back to this one. I nearly always use this shaver while showering. The advantages of wet-shaving are that the water spray keeps the screen free and clear of accumulation, both short-term and long (I have NEVER had to disassemble these shavers to clean them: if I hold the unit in the shower spray for a moment while it is running, it just does not collect any build-up for me), and the hot water naturally softens my beard so that it cuts easily and closely (this also prolongs the life of the blades and screen). I can shave by feel, rubbing my finger over the area, which also erects the stubble just before the shaver passes over it. I go the the gym frequently, so I keep this compact and durable unit in my gym bag and use it in the shower there. It uses two AA batteries, either standard or rechargeable. I just keep a fresh pair of batteries in the little drawstring bag that comes with it, because they last so long (about 2-3 months of daily use), but give up pretty suddenly when they are finally discharged... so I can quickly and easily swap them out whenever I need to (just be sure to keep the sealed inner workings dry when the case is open or you'll invite corrosion, naturally). I don't expect ANY electric shaver to do it all. I use a disposable blade razor to clean up, especially on my neck, after the shower. I also use olive or almond oil on my skin when it is wet, and this is what I use as a shaving aid, as well. I've never used shaving cream or gels in my life, so maybe the oil/water combo is part of what keeps this unit so free-flushing and clean during use. I usually buy a new unit every year or two, just to have sharp cutters (it's usually more cost-effective than buying just replacement cutters). This shaver is a good, very simple, reliable unit. (Note that there is no sideburn trimmer, per se.)

The nose trimmer is good, won't yank hair unless maybe if the battery is almost dead and the cutter isn't spinning fast enough to cut. I wet the cutting parts with water just before using to provide some lubricity and get it up to speed, and it works very well that way. The cutting head disassembles and reassembles easily for cleaning under running water, keeping it sanitary.

Excellent beard trimmer!

The trimmer works great for my beard and is very easy to keep clean. It may be a little tricky to work around my mustache, but that's just my fault. It offers many beard-lengths to choose from, as well.


Excellent Beard Trimmer - Not 220v Friendly

The Remington MB-200 is as excellent a trimmer as reviewers state. Unfortunately it isn't world class friendly. In fact it's the only gadget I've purchased in years that is 120 volts only. This is surprising given that a trimmer would be a common travel item.


Working well

This Trimmer is working as expected and doing well. It's just a couple of times I used it until now, but is working well. Must see how long it will last. But is good value for money.

Never mind the doubters - Excellent product

I bought one of these about 6 years ago and have loved it from day one. Time was finally catching up on it though, the battery was pretty much useless. I came online to find one just like it. I do not like the style of any of the newer trimmers out there. I found one here and it works great. It's only slightly different/updated from my original.

As far as the comments about the trimmer/guard not staying in position? I have not had this problem with either of the two that I have owned. Maybe they are just pressing WAY too hard.


Does what it should - a good value

I never had a beard before (I'm 75) so I wanted a trimmer that would let me control the length and shape of my facial hair. I checked reviews of the Philips Norelco T970 trimmer and they were very good, but not uniformly excellent. My experience has been that the trimmer was underrated - it's outstanding in every sense - does what it's supposed to do very well, has easy and useful controls and is no noisier than an electric shaver. I'm delighted with it!

Great no snag shadows

This works great for that 5 o'clock shadow. I use it for that a couple of times a week for that and haven't recharged it yet so not worried about pluggin in the charger all the time. Cheap stand. Can't vouche for the other attachments or features. Wish it had the vacuum the Norelco has.


AMAZING.... KEEPS MY STUBBLE LOOKING STELLAR... A+++

Great design. Great function. I do not use any of the attachments. Just the raw trimmer.

Works amazingly easy. Just swipe your stubble every 1-2 days for that constant 5-o'clock shadow look. Works better than any others i have used. Battery is still going strong, months after my first charge. Amazing. Light weight and easy to throw into your luggage for trips and vacation. Highly recommended.


Great for Stubble Trimming

As other reviews have pointed out, the plastic attachments for this aren't the greatest. The first and only time I attached one, it didn't even completely attach.

However, this is perfect if you just want to trim yourself down to the 5 o'clock shadow look like myself using the bare trimmer. In fact, this trimmer gave me a more even trim than I've even gotten with razors. Razors are really irritating to my skin but using this trimmer without any attachments felt fine.

Personally, I didn't *want* a ton of attachments because I knew I wouldn't use them. Making this trimmer perfect for me. In case you haven't read other reviews, it is rumored to have excellent battery life as well, but I haven't had the trimmer long enough to test this myself.

Best cheap beard trimmer out there

At $10 you can't go wrong. If you want a razor close shave, buy a razor. This beard trimmer is light weight, easy to use, and works on common AA batteries. I have one that I have been using for 6+ years. Batteries last for several months, it is easy to clean and gets the job done fast and cleanly.


Worth it for the price and convenience

It's not a total piece of crap. I wouldn't use this as my daily trimmer but I keep it in my drawer at work and use it for those days we go out partying after. I didn't have problems with it pulling my hair. It's cheap and easy to use. The battery operation aspect is cool too.

Big nose.

Well I have one.

Top that off with black hair.

So every once in a while I need a small makeover.

It works but you must spend like 20 minutes moving it around

to get them all.

So I am not that happy with it.

But doesn't eat the battery.

Comes with a nice small bag so it can travel with me.
