Product Reviews of Remington HKVAC-2000 Precision Vacuum Haircut Kit

Product Review: Excellent Performance and Maintainance
Summary: 5 Stars

After using a lot of different brands of hair clippers to clip my Yorkshire Terrior and sometimes my own hair, I never felt clippers were very good. Most clippers I have used at home seemed like junk compared to the ones barbers use. Clippers often became too hot, get clogged, and the hair attachments were especially useless. To clean and oil the blades, I had to always use mineral oil and hope the unit still would work pretty well next time. In many ways, most clippers I have used in the past were awful. I always wanted to buy a pair of clippers that would last more than a few clippings.

After seeing the Remington NoMess Clipper in the pet section at Walmart, I decided to take my chances and see how well they would cut my Yorkie's hair. I saw the vacuum that was part of the unit, but this idea seemed more of a novelty than useful. The box claimed that Remington blades did not need oil, which helped sell me the clippers. I hate oiling clipper blades. The Remington clippers were more expensive than other brands, but I felt that they were worth the extra money if they lived up to their advertised claims.

After clipping my Yorkie, I was impressed with these clippers. The blades did not get clogged or become too hot. The vacuum worked very well and did not get in the way of clipping. In fact, the vacuum helped me clip my Yorkie with speed and precision. A Yorkie is supposed to have very short hair around its ears and this task was always dangerous to do with previous clippers because the blades kept getting hot. Remington's clipper blades stayed cool. It almost seems like the vacuum blows cool air from the vent to cool down the unit. I was very impressed with how well these clippers worked. In fact, after clipping my dog, I cut my mom's Shih-Tzu with ease. A Shih-Tzu has a thicker coat of hair than a Yorkie and these clippers were able to buzz right through the hair with little effort.

After cutting two dog coats, I experimented on my own head and found the blade attachments fit very well on the clippers. The vacuum kept my floor clean and hair out of my eyes. The vacuum container is small, so it must be cleaned every few minutes, but this is a small problem and allows the motor to rest for a moment. The blades can cut closely to the skin. In fact, I had a little facial hair at the time, but the NoMess clippers removed a lot of the hair all over my face. After clipping my hair, I learned how to clean the unit. The blades easily pop off of the front of the machine and the included brush removes the excess hair that accumulates after a hair cut. The version I purchased was the NoMess Pet Clipper, but they look identical to this version on Amazon. These clippers are excellent and I would recommend them for use on a dog or human. Save some barber or animal grooming costs by using these well-engineered clippers.

Product Review: Excellent for kids/adults with special needs!
Summary: 5 Stars

My teenage son has Down Syndrome and could not stand to get his haircut no matter what we tried (movies in front of him, treats promised afterward, etc.). One kind stylist suggested I give him buzz cuts at home and told me how easy that was if he'd sit for it. I bought a medium priced hair clipper and tried a buzz cut at home. I found out what he hated as much as anything was 1. the noise of the clipper 2. the clippings on his neck. The Remington clipper/vacuum solved both of his issues. I have recommended this to other parents of kids with special needs and they agree it is perfect for keeping kids happy. THANK YOU Remington!!

Product Review: Excellent haircut kit

I bought this hair trimmer to cut my own hair. I have a very short hair and I cut it every 2-3 weeks.
I've had it for 6 months now and I am very happy.
The vaccum works great and I usually finish cutting my hair in less than 10 minutes.
I would definitely recommend this product.

Product Review: Excellent, well made product
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent product. I bought it for cutting my 3 year old son's hair and it works great. Evidently high quality and sturdy, and the vacuum feature is everything it's cracked up to be. No mess! Comes with several attachments that work fine. I'm relieved to eliminate the hassle and expense of taking my son for frequent haircuts. Highly recommended!
