Remington produced the world’s first electric shaver in 1937, and continues to be a leader in shaving technology. Titanium is the company’s latest break-through. When coated with titanium, blades stay sharper longer than stainless steel for an extra close, comfortable shave. Ergonomically designed with no-slip insets, this model features three ultra-flexing round heads that float independently to hug face and neck contours. Moreover, the heads are ultra-thin, which allows the blades to get as close to the skin as possible. A nifty one-inch trimmer pops up to define sideburns, mustaches, and necklines. An added benefit of this razor is that it can be used either with the 5-foot stretch cord or without, and features quick charge. A one-hour quick charge provides 40 minutes of shaving time, while a five-minute charge is enough for one shave. This model features a green light that indicates the shaver is either charging or charged. A red low-battery light indicates approximately five minutes of shaving time remains. Cleaning this razor is a breeze--squeeze the release buttons to flip up the head attachment, then blow, brush, or rinse out any stubble. A cleaning brush is included, along with a zippered, padded carry pouch and protective head guard. The shaver automatically converts to other voltages worldwide, making it great for travel. Remington covers the shaver with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a two-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri

Reasonable shave but short battery life - Reviewed on 2009-05-08
* *

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.

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 - Reviewed on 2007-08-03

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 - Reviewed on 2007-05-09

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.
