Customer Response

Reasonable shave but short battery life
I've liked my R-9170 for the past year that I've been using it. The closeness is OK, probably the best I've ever gotten from an electric shaver but nowhere near as close as a blade shave. But the real disappointment is that battery life is short, and it is not designed to be user-replaceable. Now even when I use it corded, there are times when it acts as though it is out of power & doesn't want to shave. That is a real disappointment. I didn't expect to be back in the marker for a shaver after only a year. I'd avoid this unit, and at least look for one with replaceable batteries.

Remington R-9170 Electric Shaver
This product is an excellent value. It work fine and comes with cleaning brush and carrying case.

Remington R-9170 Titanium MicroFlex Ultra Cord/Cordless
Excellent price on the same product I purchased retail a few years ago, (about a 70% discount from original). Now I have spare parts from the old shaver as well.

dead battery
This shaver worked decent (really not that great of a shave, but it did the job), until after I had it for about 6 months and it stopped holding its charge. I have now had this shaver for 1.5 years, and it runs in 2 second spurts (2 seconds on, it shuts off, I start it again and it runs for another 2 seconds). So...it is basically a waste of money. And it is made in China--a new word has been created by factory workers there to mean "worked to death"--workers regularly die there on the job (no unions). In any case, my Wahl hair clippers (U.S. made), on the other hand, have been running strong for 10 years. So my next electric shaver purchase will be a Wahl.

Worst product I ever bought
Perhaps I purchased a lemon, but this was the worst product I ever bought. My old Norelco died after many years of dependable service. Tried this remington model. Didn't shave well at all, battery emptied frequently after 2-3 shaves, and trimmer broke as well. Customer service suggested that I send it back to them and wait. I ran back and back and bought a new Norelco within 6 months.
