Product Reviews of Remington HC-8017B Precision 22 Piece Corded Haircut Kit
Product Review: The worst piece of crap ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
As far as clippers go, this one isn't worth the space in my garbage. Immediately out of the box the blades are really dull and even going over the scalp several times doesn't cut the hair. Thankfully we got this on sale at a local store so we didn't waste too much money.Product Review: Too hot to handle

My husband shaves his head with these and they never get all the hair on the 1st pass and he has to turn it off after 5-10 mins to let it cool down before he can finish cutting. It get soooooo he says. Shopping for a new one now.Product Review: Very disappointing.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this set to keep my hair cut, as well as my nephews, and brother. The tabs on the smaller combs broke off on the second hair cut and now this is useless as they do not sell replacement guides for this set.
I have never been disappointed with Remington before this but, unfortunately this has colored my opinion.
Product Review: Well worth the price!

You can't beat the price. I have owned this product before & it was accidentally thrown out while cleaning. So buying this product was an easy decision to make. Even if it only worked a few times (Works way more then that, if taken care of) it pays for itself in savings the first time you use it. A cheap good men's hair cut will run you $10-$15 & that is before the tip. I paid $12.99 & since I have Amazon Prime. I got two day S/H for free. So I already saved money buying this item. You can't beat that. I have used it more then a couple times with no problems at all. Just make sure to use lubricating oil before & after each use. Unfortunately, you don't get any oil with it. That might be the reason some people complain of the blades going dull so quickly. It is also why it didn't get the 5th star. So my advice is to buy some lubricating oil with this product. There is some really cheap oil on amazon that works just great.
As far as the brittle combs. I haven't had a problem with them. Of course I read these reviews before I bought it. So I was very careful attaching them, when I used them. If you want a cheap hair cutter that works. This will do the job for you. If the comb breaks there is always super glue. Just take care of it & it should do fine. I don't understand all the complaining for the price. I mean it is the cheapest hair cutter on here. You get what you pay for & I think this gives your money's worth. If these clippers were $30 pr $40. I could understand the complaining, but it was 13 bucks.
If you really want a good quality hair clipper buy oster. Be ready to spend $50 just for a oster clippers alone. If you want a kit with everything in it. Be ready to easily spend $100+. If you want all the accessories. That will set you back a good amount of money.
Like I said, the only thing I really didn't like was that it didn't come with its own lubricating oil, which is really needed in my honest opinion. You can easily buy some cheap lubricating oil on amazon. The extra cost is worth it & will prolong the life of the product. My advice is get it & take good care of it. You can't beat the price. If you get it & it doesn't work right. Call amazon & try getting a replacement or your money back. Amazon has some of the best customer service I have ever come across. It is one reason I paid the $79 a year for amazon prime. I buy off here enough that I have already saved money by just buying prime items. Plus if I really want the product fast. I can just pay $3.99 extra & get the item the next day. Otherwise, I can just wait an extra day & get S/H free. I hope this review helps you make a informed decision.
Product Review: Will wear out on you fast
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this a while ago to cut my own hair. Now that I'm older, there's much less hair to deal with and I can't really justify paying for haircuts when they all look bad regardless of how much I pay. So, I got the bright idea of getting this item on sale and doing my own hair. It worked great the first couple of times, but even though I oiled the blades, they went dull fast By the third haircut, it felt like it was yanking all my hair out instead of cutting it. Ouch! Plus, I looked totally retarded with clumps of hair sticking out amidst short cut hair. It took way to long to make it look right again.
