Summary: It works... but not extremely versatile...
Comment: I've found that the Remington Short Cut Works pretty well. It is a little faster and easier to use than standard clippers. It doesn't jam or pull hair like some of the lower quality clippers do. You may have to tap some hair out of the cutting blade area once in a while... The cordless feature is nice. The charging instructions seem to be in error in the instruction booklet. This seems to be how things work... There is a blue light that comes on while it's charging. The light turns off when the clipper is completely charged. There is a red light that comes on while the unit is running if the charge runs low. The clipper cannot be run off of the AC adapter if you run out of juice, so you must make sure it's charged before you start.
On the negative side... It's really only good for VERY short cuts or near bald cuts. Anything over a #1 or maybe #1 1/2 cut (1/8" - 3/16") really needs to be tapered on the sides to look right. I tried a #2 cut (my usual length) with this and it didn't look right. I had to go down to a #1. Also... the built-in trimmer does not trim closely or quickly. It might come in handy for shaping sideburns. It would take forever to do the back of your neck with these and the results wouldn't be great. I did the back of my neck with a regular razor.
One thing I can't comment on is how close this will shave with the balding attachment. I'm not trying it just for this review... lol. Although, I'd imagine it wont get as close as a standard clipper with no guard attached.
All in all... I think the Remington Short Cut can make home hair cutting a little easier. But, it's only good for very short cuts. If you like your hair just a little longer and tapered on the sides... or your head completely shaved... you should probably look elsewhere.

Summary: Good for short-all-over cuts, not for blends
Comment: I've been cutting my own hair for 15 years... ever since a particularly bad haircut from a barber in 1993. I don't use anything except a standard Conair-type clipper and the trimmer function on the back of my electric razor. The whole process is a little time consuming and there are many times when I make blind cuts, which is basically using my fingers to determine length while not being able to see any of the action.
When I saw this Remington Short Cut Clipper online I thought I might have stumbled into a perfect solution for my hair cutting needs. The design is very innovative, allowing for cutting with either hand that goes more quickly because the blades are wider and they're shaped to follow the contour of the head.
After receiving the product and trying it on my own hair, I have to give it just an average rating. Here is what the Remington does right:
1. The fact that it's cordless is a huge plus. No cords get in the way, which has always been an issue with traditional clippers.
2. The bi-directional cutting is wonderful, and combined with the ambidextrous design this makes the clipper equally useful in either hand and in both directions.
3. The pop-up trimmer is the perfect size to trim around the ears. It is longer and narrower than typical back-of-the-electric razor trimmers, which makes the hard-to-reach places and angles much easier to navigate.
Here are the issues I have with the Remington:
1. Unless you want a true short-all-over cut, this clipper isn't for you. My hair is longer on the top, but very short on the sides and in the back. I like to start short on the bottom and then blend it with longer hair as I move up. That strategy doesn't work well with this trimmer. My personal attempt resulted in choppy cuts that had to be smoothed over with regular clippers.
2. The contour shape of the plastic length attachment and the blades are only good for the round parts of your head. The sides of my head don't happen to bulge out in a rounded fashion, so it made trimming the sides of my hair very difficult. Navigating around the ears was also trouble.
3. The plastic attachment quickly fills up with cut hair and needs to be emptied. I would prefer that it just fell off and didn't accumulate in the clipper.
Maybe I am not the intended user for this product. If I just wore buzz cuts or crew cuts, this product would get 5 stars from me. With that type of haircut, you really will get a quick and clean cut. But I think others like me would appreciate a little more flexibility in dealing with blending slightly longer hair.

Summary: A Good Buzz
Comment: I keep my hair fairly short, so when I saw this product I figured it was worth a try. My first impressions were good, the packaging was easy to open, and the trimmer felt light and comfortable in my hand. The product comes with 2 combing guides, a cleaning brush, some oil for the blades, a charger, and an instruction manual (which was a bit confusing to read). I was disappointed that the product did not include a case to hold the trimmer and accessories, and that it took a long time to charge fully (16 hours).
After charging it overnight, I attached the adjustable guide comb and set it to the highest setting, which gives a ½ inch cut (be warned that it comes with the balding guide already attached). I quickly went over my entire head, since the cutting blades work forward and backward. I then used the #3 setting to trim the sides, which gave me a tapered look, similar to the cut my barber gives me. I've used the trimmer twice so far and it's already paid for itself.
One thing that is a bit of a nuisance is that the cut hair tends to clog the blades, making it necessary to clean out the loose hair periodically. The unit does come with a sideburn trimmer, but that feature is not very functional. It's difficult to get the right angle when using it, so instead I use my Wahl compact trimmer for the sideburns and around the ears.
This product does a good job for its intended purpose. It gives a nice short buzz cut, quickly and easily. I subtracted one star because of the few shortcomings I mentioned above.

Summary: Fantastic!!!
Comment: I have bought so many different clippers for my husband and this is by far the best one for us.He likes to keep his hair very short and these clippers makes that so easy!Unlike other clippers we have tried,this one is the best if you need to cut your hair by yourself.My husband can get a very even nice cut alone with these clippers whereas with other clippers I always had to clip the back of his neck and around his ears.It is much much faster than traditional style clippers with all the attatchments and my husband uses it every few days and is done in a couple of minutes.I highly reccomend these clippers if you like a very short cut and don't have a lot of extra time.

Summary: Highly recommended for people with short hair
Comment: Shortcut Clipper by Remington
I bought this primarily to cut my sideburns. I often found myself going to the barbershop mainly to get my sideburns trimmed back. I keep my hair fairly short, a number 3 on the sides, number 4 on top. I would imagine it would work well on facial hair, also.
I followed the directions and charged it overnight. Was very careful to set the length on the control s and took care of my sideburns in about 5 seconds. I may try doing my whole head. For now, I'm happy with it. This thing pays for itself after skipping only two haircuts in my neighborhood.
Highly recommended for people with short hair, either facial or on their head that don't want to be bother with going to the barbershop.
