  • Remington's over-achiever F4790 makes shaving a pleasure

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 16, 2010
    Pros: Fast, comfortable, quick shaves.  Quiet.  Good trimmer.  Incredible battery life.  Solidly built.
    Cons: Bulky.  A bit tricky to clean.  No travel case.  Outboard power adapter.

    Summary: First, my qualifications as an electric shaver reviewer: Over the past thirty-plus years I’ve owned three Norelco rotary shavers, an early Remington Microscreen (briefly), one Panasonic Wet/Dry shaver, and two Brauns. And those are the ones I can ... read more

  • Remington F4790 electric shaver

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 18, 2011
    Pros: Battery good for nine days.Easy disassembly for cleaning.
    Cons: I had to use a can of computer air to to clean the head completely.

    Summary: I bought this shaver on  or about February 18, 2011, and have been using it daily since that time. I had just got over a case of shingles, which affected the entire right side of my head. Ouch. After the worst of the disease healed, shaving with a ... read more

  • Pleasantly surprised!

    Pros: Easy to use, effective, short charge time, etc.
    Cons: Can't think of any - maybe a travel bag.

    Summary: I had used a modestly priced Norelco rotary shaver (model 6613) for about five years. It worked OK, but I was never really impressed with the results, plus it wasn't easy to disassemble and clean with the three different heads. My only experience with a ... read more

  • Remington F-4790

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 3, 2009
    Pros: Good shave, high value, sturdy feel, long lasting battery and quiet for a Remington.
    Cons: Lack of a travel pouch -come on Remington!

    Summary: Remington has finally quieted down their shaver.  The F4790 shaves close, without causing shaver burns.  I also use Braun Norelco and Panasonic shavers.  After shaving with the F4790, I went over my face with my Panasonic ES8168 and there ... read more

    Pros: The shaver has a substantial feel and gave a through shave without causing shaver burn.
    Cons: The lack of a travel pouch.

  • Foil wears out in 4 months

    Not rated yet by the Epinions community
    Dec 12, 2011
    Pros: Good shave while it lasted
    Cons: Only lasted 4 months

    Summary: I bought what I thought was going to be an upgrade to my prior Remington DA-307 which only cost $20 and worked great (foil lasted 1 year and replaced it at that time and used it for another year).  This one worked for 4 months and

  • This SHAVER STINKS

    Not rated yet by the Epinions community
    Dec 11, 2011
    Pros: NONE. Impossible to say anything nice about a faulty product.
    Cons:
    This product must have been engineered by the 3 Stooges; absolutely worthless.

    Summary: Always had faith in Remington until now. If there were ever to be a recall on a worthless product, this is the one. Total waste of money is the understatement of the

  • Poor shave quality

    Jul 10, 2011
    Pros: Price... not worth it. Pay more and get a real razor.
    Cons: Poor shave, too long to shave, blades hard to find.

    Summary: 6 month blade life if your lucky. Takes forever to get a close shave. Poorest model I've ever had. Been using remington for 20+ years but not going back again. Tried the 5790 and shave was better but blades worn out in 6 months. Can't find blades for

  • Model 4790

    Not rated yet by the Epinions community
    Jul 7, 2011
    Pros: Battery Life
    Cons: On-Off switch

    Summary: I liked my old Remington much more. I assume the 4790 replaces the SP-69. The 4790 has the on-off switch in the wrong place - right where ones thumb holds it to shave. The result: on-off-on-off etc while trying to

  • Close comfortable shave

    Feb 21, 2011
    Pros: Close shave; Holds its charge; East to clean.
    Cons: Microscreen needs replacing after only a couple of months.

    Summary: I bought the F-4790 after my longtime Braun finally died. I was surprised at the close comfortable shave it gave, and once charged lasted almost a week. However after only two months the microscreen needed to be replaced. I though this was just an

    Pros: cheap, corded/cordless operation, waterproof(never used in water)
    Cons: cheap, micro screen failed in 7 months

    Summary: Replaced Bruan shaver with this 4790 only to be disappointed with the short life of the micro screen on this shaver.  I was always upset that the micro screen for my Braun cost 25-30 dollars.  I wish I had purchased a new micro screen for my

  • This is the worst razor ever

    Apr 16, 2010
    Pros: Could be used as a womans sex toy.
    Cons: Feels lightweight, cheap, tinny. It's way overpriced.

    Summary: If you want to spend half a morning shaving then buy this product. I have owned a brawn for many years and it was replaced with this razor. It's curved! now your constantly flipping it for the many angles on your face. It's cheap and tinny. I've had this
