Product Reviews of Remington HC-8017B Precision 22 Piece Corded Haircut Kit
Product Review: Broken guide combs -- can't use anymore
Summary: 1 Stars
I started with the 1" guide comb, the clips on that broke so I switched to the 3/4", when that broke I used the 5/8", but now that's broke and I am not going to use the 1/2", it makes me look like a drill sergeant. To think I bought the Remington instead of the Vidal Sassoon because I thought it would be sturdier. It's built for very delicate users.Product Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
It does not work as smooth as the one I brought from Japan, but it works.
However, after exactly 9 months, it stopped working. I don't even have a "contact seller" button to complain.
Product Review: Don't WASTE your money
Summary: 1 Stars
You'll need new blades soon, but REMINGTON wants you to buy a new unit, so REMINGTON DOES NOT SELL NEW BLADES.
OK, so I bought a Newer MORE EXPENSIVE Model, with SELF SHARPENING BLADES...
It lasted for FOUR HAIRCUTS- then the motor locked up. !#@$*&! Just a fluke, right? So I called 'customer service'... WHAT? THE WARRANTY IS JUST THIRTY DAYS???
WARNING: don't call their 'Customer Service' if you have high blood pressure; they'll just hang up on you. When I tried to contact a supervisor, they were always "in a meeting" : no wonder they're going out of business. This is a perfect example of a company that's only survived this long on their Past Reputation;
REMINGTON = poor products and worse service!
Product Review: Don't do it if you value your family's love
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been cutting my son and husband's hair for a number of years with the same pair of clippers - just cheap ones can't even remember the name of them. They got lost in the move and so I had to buy a new pair - so along I trot to Target and come back the the Remington. I seem to remember Remington being a class brand - OK mainly from ads in the 70s and 80s but still a household name right? Well, the first time we used them the blades didn't move at all until I shook the unit a little, then they did and my poor husband jumps out of his chair like I'd stuck him with a red hot poker saying/screaming "they pull!". Being married for 25 years I just told him to shut up and stop being a wimp - a couple of weeks later I come to cut my 10 year old son's hair and he ends up crying and flinching like it is an instrument of torture, which in effect it is. Poor husband - fancy his wife not believing him! I end up cutting my son's hair with scissors and the comb we use for grooming the dogs - tomorrow will see us likely at the local barber shop getting it put right. Not only does it pull, it also cuts inconsistently - and hey folks I know I am no Vidal Sassoon but I can do a buzz cut with a pair of shears like a pro. The poor kid honestly looks like I cut it with the kitchen scissors, which I did because the scissors in the kit are as blunt as the actual shears.
A complete waste of money - upgrade to a better unit or pay a barber!
You have been warned - my family have now turned against me and my son has put the shears in the recycling box. I am told it will take many brownies to make up for the pain (the son not the husband he - being married for 25 years - has come to accept the pain).
Product Review: Easily the best clipper I've ever purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably the fifth or sixth clipper I've ever purchased (over 25 - 30 years) and it is easily the best. It is smooth and "whisper" quiet, unlike any I've experienced. The cut is a clean one; I've never had my hair get caught in the blades as I have with other models. I LOVE the fact that it does not need to be oiled. Based on my experience, I would have expected this to be a top-rated clipper. I was very surprised to see the relatively low overall score and the negative reviews. I have not had the problems that some have had with the combs, but aren't combs from other units interchangeable?
