Disappointing. Does not give a close shave. I practically have to rub my skin off to try to get a closer shave. Feels like it pulls the hair while trying to shave.

I bought it for my wife mostly because of high star ratings and the fact that it is dual voltage capable(220/110). But we were disappointed because the battery always ran out after 5-10 mins. But since customer service from Discount Jungle was fantastic, we were able to return it and get another piece with no hassles. We had to pay our part of shipping charge which is not bad.

The second one runs for about 40 mins after full charge. My wife is fairly happy with the product. Only complain is that it is loud.

I have never owned an electric shaver before, but with summer here I wanted something I could shave with everyday. I have sensitive skin so I can't use a regular blade everyday, but my electric shaver works GREAT! I wanted to make sure that I got a good shaver so I read all the reviews - I decided that everyone will have a different experience! Mine, was a good experience! I went with this one because it looks nice and it wasn't the cheapest one. It does take a few days or weeks for your legs, hair and you to get used to the electric shaver. I have had my shaver now for a week and I use it everyday. The shave gets smoother each time I use it. Someone had made the comment that it was really loud...it's not any louder than my husbands shaver.

I have owned many razors over the years. In fact my last razor was a Remington and i hated it but this razor is great. The cut is the best i have seen for a Remington. It gives a smooth cut without have to go over and over the same spot as with other Remington models.
This is the best razor i have owned yet. Buy with confidence.
ON/OFF Button VERY DIFFICULT to keep holding down when using - Review written on March 15, 2008

I have fine thin hair, and it didn't shave it off evenly, it missed a lot. The worst part is that it is VERY DIFFICULT to handle it while having to hold the on-button down. They need a on/off switch! It would shave better if it did, because you wouldn't have to hold your hand in an uncomfortable postion, with your thumb not staying on the button when you needed it to.

Am I the only one that gets tired of cordless electric razors dying on cue? At one year - poof! I called Remington and they said the battery is only supposed to last a year. I have had every generation of this Remington. I'm trying another brand this time - maybe the Panasonic Close Curves. If I do, I'll edit this review as to the outcome.

EDIT Oct 2008: OK, I found a fantastic shaver. I bought the Panasonic ES2067W Wet/Dry Epiglide Ultra Epilator for $99. It has a regular head with a screen for shaving close, and two epilator heads. One of the epilator heads is narrow and small for taking off hair anywhere delicate, and one that has three rotating heads to quickly and easily epilate larger areas like the legs. Oh yes, and the screen head has a pop up edge and a plastic comb cover that goes over the screen/pop up edge to take longer hairs to a short enough length to epilate or just to leave short - great for bikini area.

I was surprised to find it a lot less painful that my first epilator the Epilady. I love the many heads and versatility of the multiple heads.

The design is elegant and easy to hold. FORGET Remington - they can keep it and their bad rechargeable batteries : )

This shaver does an excellent job on underarms. I have VERY sensitive skin, and with this shaver NO irritation whatsoever. My last shaver at the end of it's life started to pull the hair out in spots, with this one NO pulling at all! As for the legs NO electric shaver has ever been as good as a razor. If I get lazy about shaving my legs in the winter this shaver is good about mowing down the hair before I use a razor for the REALLY smooth shave!

I NEVER even dreamed I could get this close of a shave with an electric razor. I read the reviews and determined that this shaver would give me the closest shave of all the electrics, but I resigned myself to the fact that even the closest of electric shaves would leave me with stubble. Boy was I wrong!! This electric razors shaves as close as any blade I've ever used. Both of my daughters have borrowed it and have now asked for one for their birthday. I have sent the link to every female member of my extended family! If it ever breaks, I'm buying another one just like it!

We've been married 38 years and I have been through COUNTLESS discourses regarding shaved legs. Something like, "can't wear shorts today I haven't shaved my legs!". Those days are now gone. Used wet (in the shower) or dry (as a touch up...or more) my wife loves her new razor. I only wish I had bought it for her so I could get the credit. It's a comfortable size, portable, rechargable...just a great product.

What about the price? Doesn't matter. If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Buy it.

I bought this after my old electric shaver died and was amazed how quick I could shave my legs with this shaver. My legs are very smooth after shaving. Works well under my arms, too. If you're looking for a shaver that gives a smooth, quick shave, I highly recommend this one.

I have a toddler who will only bathe if I'm in the tub too, so shaving with a conventional razor is not an option for the time being. I bought this shaver as a replacement for my old Remington 3500 that I had for 6+years. It's great! This shaver is light and easy-to-hold. I have very sensitive skin and thick hair and I have no problems, I just shave and put some lotion on after. If you've never used an electric shaver before, it takes some getting used to, especially around curvy areas. It won't be as close as a razor-blade shave, so if that's crucial for you then maybe look into a men's shaver that pulls the hair up a bit before cutting it (not for sensitive skin though!), or stick with razors. I almost bought a ladies shaver made by Braun (LS5500) until I found out that it only had 1 row of cutters instead of 2 like Remington's. I didn't get the Remington Titanium shaver because I wasn't interested in the cleaning system - it seems like overkill since all you need to do is rinse the cutters off with water after each use. I haven't made the battery run out yet - I shave every other day and I usually do from the knee-down, bikini line, underarms. The indicator light to let you know when you're almost out of juice is a nice feature. When you get this razor, keep in mind that Remington gives it a 30-day guarantee - so you can use it for a few weeks and make up your own mind about it. I'm glad I stuck with the Remington brand and look forward to years of convenient dry shaving!
battery dies too soon - Review written on January 24, 2007

I like this enough to have bought another one once the first one died (upon being dropped on a tile floor)... but the battery is not sufficient for shaving my legs all the way up. I can get up to my mid thighs done and then it croaks. The worst part is that as the battery dies I find it starts to nick me. It also gives me nicks occassionally when I do awkward angular spots like armpits, backs of knees, and bikini line. I like how it cuts both short and long hair. Big improvement over an older model Remington I had.

I'll shave my legs more often now because it is so much easier than using a blade with all the shaving cream, foam, or gel. This is a really pretty color for a shaver and the holder is nice and unobtrusive. I like that it holds the cleaning brush too. You can clean it with the brush or under water. It is easy to turn on and use and gives a close shave. It's also not too terribly loud and only vibrates a little. Very nice, compared to some older shavers that I have had. So far, so good.

This razor was horrible. It gave me razor burn on my armpits for 3 days after using it-I had trouble wearing a shirt! Yes, I do have sensitive skin but I have never had this happen before when shaving.
Stay away-far away from this razor!

If you haven't used an electric shaver for a few years, I would suggest giving this one a try. The results are better than any manual shaver and the best part is there are no knicks and unsightly cuts on my legs. I can use this shaver in the shower the same as I did with my manual shaver. It is easy to clean. I am so glad I bought it. I would never go back to a manual shaver.

In my time, I have tried at least million ladies shavers. After years of confiscating my husbands' electric shaver, I finally found a ladies' that works as well as the mens'. I have Psoriasis and extremely sensitive skin. I can't use the "old faithful" Bic®, or Schick® or any of those razors for fear of bleeding to death. I was a little hesitant in getting this shaver because from my past experience with the ladies shavers. As far as I am concerned the ladies shaver industry has come a long way and this shaver proves it. After using this shaver for 4 weeks, I have no complaints. I get a close shave (almost as close as good old faithful) Of course in some spots I have to go over the area twice to get really close but hey that beat the heck out of bleeding to death. There is absolutely no irritation. With my blasted skin, that is important. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND this shaver to any of you ladies out there who: 1. Has sensitive skin and can't use the regular razor and wants a close shave OR 2. Who, like me, are a little too lazy when it comes to "maintenance".

It works quite well, as far as electric razors go. Dry, it does a decent job of getting rid of visible hair, but there is usually a little stubble left that you can feel if your run your hands up and down your legs. In the shower it works nearly as well as regular razor. There might be certain areas this one can't get to that you will have to touch up on with a normal razor.
The only real complaint I have is how loud it is. Everyone in your house WILL know when you are shaving your legs.

It didn't shave my legs as close as a razor when I used it dry. Using it wet or dry took much longer than a razor.

It REALLY HURT my armpits. They were all red, and it did an awful job; I still had clearly visible stubble. Seriously, it hurt so bad.

If you really don't like shaving in the shower, you are fine with having stubbly legs, and don't mind taking a longer time to shave, then by all means buy this and have stubbly legs. Just don't use it on your armpits.

This razor works wonderfully, but I'd have to say the only down fall is how long the shave itself lasts. With an regular razor I can usually get away with shaving every other day, but with an electric I have to shave every day if I want the smooth and silky feeling.

I purchased this shaver for my neice's 12th birthday. She is just beginning to shave her legs, and I felt this would be a good choice, since she is not quite ready to use a razor. She can use it wet or dry, and it is rechargeable. Since she is petite, it felt a little heavy, but she'll definetly grow into it!

This is the best. I can't stop shaving my legs. At first it seems as though it doesn't give a close shave. But as the directions say it takes a few weeks for your skin to adjust to it and now it's as close as if I shave with a conventional razor. I can shave everyday without irritation. I would recommend this product to anyone especially if you have a difficult time with shaving every day and becoming irritated or those with sensitive skin.

I have had other electric shavers in the past. This one does seem to do a better job then most. It is noisy, but easy to clean.
I still find using a blade in the shower alot faster in the mornings. This electric razor will give you a close shave, it just takes to much of my time, I have to go over and over an area.When you are out of the house by 6:30 AM every day, every minute counts.

Nice shaver, fits in your hand nicely. It gives a smooth shave. I have been using this shaver for about a month now and i still don't think it gives me a close shave like a razor would. It says it take about 3 weeks of shaving to get you hair used to it for the closeness. I get a close and smooth shave, but the hair is back the next day.

I did a search online to find the most popular women's shaver and
and the Smooth and Silky wdf-6000 was the winner. I have to agree. It has more than met my expectations. It provides a very close shave for an electric razor. I find it works best for me with extremely dry skin. I dreaded shaving with a conventional razor. Now I shave my legs every day. It is very convenient. I would highly recommend this one.

I was seeking an electric shaver to use for shaving my underarm area.

Razors were out of the question for me in that area because of the resulting razor bumps from ingrown hairs. Hair removal cremes irritated my skin. In the past, I used a small barber clipper (an edger) and was pleased with the results. After surgery in 2004 and the resulting limited sensation under my arms, the small barber clipper was dangerous. I removed a couple of layers of skin while shaving my underarms post surgery and ended up on oral antibiotic treatment for a week.

The medical staff recommended an electric shaver, but they could not recommend a brand. Research and an e-mail to Remington helped me decide to purchase the Remington WDF 6000 in April 2005.

After going through the suggested 2-3 weeks of daily shaving to allow my skin to adjust to the shaver, I have to say that I am extremely pleased with the results.

Yes, it's noisy, but easy to handle, comfortable to hold and it shaves close (after the suggested break in period) which is a bonus especially for someone of African-American decent with coily hair. Most importantly, the Remington WDF-6000 is safe for someone with limited sensations under the arms (at least it has been for me).

It was highly recommended by the manufacturer that if you have limited sensation under the arms (due to mastectomy surgery) that you treat the foils and cutters with great care (no dropping, denting, and dinging) and replace the foils and cutters if they are damaged before continuing to use the shaver. Using damaged foils or cutter can cause injury.

I'm so pleased with this shaver and I highly recommend it.

It's worth every dollar I paid for it. I even use it to shave my legs now. I use the Remington SDF-6000 dry, but it can be used in the shower and with shaving gels/cremes. Even wet, it's comfortable to handle.

Clean up is a breeze. I just hold it under rapidly running cold/warm water (never hot), shake off the excess water, dry the handle with a towel, unplug the base and place the shaver in the base to air dry. A cleaning brush comes with the unit.

I bought this for my daughter and myself last Christmas. She was ready to start shaving her legs, and I didn't want her to cut herself on bladed shavers. This Remington works pretty well. If the hair is long, it takes a few passes to remove it all, but it's easy on your skin, and it's virtually impossible to cut yourself with it. It's nice when you have to shave on short notice to wear shorts or a skirt, since it can be used either wet or dry, and it's effective used either way. I have been underwhelmed by past ladies electric shavers I've used, but this one is quite good.
