Remington PG6171 The Crafter - Beard Boss Style and Detail Kit, Beard Trimmer, Grooming Set, Platinum, 11 Pieces

Updated Review - 2 years later: I've kept a beard 100% of the time and I use this usually a few times a week. It still cuts well and I don't see any need to sharpen the blades at this point, which makes the titanium blades more of a status item than actually useful in my opinion. I still do not see a need for a two speed button besides using less power so the vendor can claim the battery last a really long time. I never use the slower speed. Maybe I just don't see the legitimate reason, but those gripes don't matter. It works well and was a good purchase. The one time I ran the battery dead, I plugged it in a few minutes while I grabbed clothes to put on after I showered and unplugged it maybe 5 minutes later and it had plenty of power to completely trim my beard and mustache. I do not charge it frequently - one charge goes for a LONG time. I only use the two shortest beard trimming attachments and the attachment for trimming hair around your nose and ears (geez, I'm getting that old...) and they work great. I cannot comment on the rest of the attachments. I suspect this will work great for YEARS to come so long as I do not lose the charging cable.Original Review: The only difference between this model and the higher end model is the colored siding and the titanium coated blades, which if these blades are as good as the blades on my last Remington trimmer that lasted me 14 years, 99% of that I had a beard and mustache, the lower model should fit anybody just fine. If the batteries hadn't finally died out, I'd still be using my older model Remington. The only reason I liked the older model better is because it had a dial you could rotate to adjust the trimmer length versus swapping out various size clips which you could lose, but this one so far seems to be as high quality as the one that lasted me 14 years.No need for the two speed button...I doubt many people run on the lower speed so in the end it is a way for Remington to boast that they have a 180 minute run time on a speed not many people use, but beyond that little salesmanship gripe, it is a great beard trimmer. The only reason that one died is the batteries finally wouldn't hold a charge. I've used this one for months and only recharged it when I knew I'd not have any time to risk having a dead battery because I was going to be in a rush when I was getting off of work and about to shave (I work from home). Battery life seems great, no matter which speed you use.

I paid $29.71 for the PG6171 groom kit and started using it on Mar 24th. After 82 days of almost daily use it finally needed its first charge. Almost 3 months on one charge works for me. Selling points were the low price, mostly positive reviews, the useful attachments, and that the product is cordless, waterproof, and has a long-lasting lithium battery.I found the product easy to use and maintain. I have a full beard. I use the minifoil shaver almost daily to clean up my cheeks and neck. I use the 6mm 1/4" guide comb on the wide trimmer for the sides and jawline and the 20mm adjustable guide comb for trimming under my chin. The 3mm 1/8" guide comb is perfect for my eyebrows, and the nose and ear trimmer does its job well too.For maintenance, I clean the groomer and attachments with a small brush after each use, and every few weeks I put a little cutter oil on the blades, turn the groomer on and off, and wipe off any excess oil. Since the groomer is waterproof, I also occasionally rinse the product under warm water as recommended by Remington.I did have one problem that was quickly resolved by Ann at Remington Customer Support. One day I noticed the metal foil on the shaver had a sharp edge because it had split on one side. I sent a message to customer support through their website, and they immediately sent me a replacement minifoil shaver with no questions asked.The foil on the shaver is very delicate, so treat it carefully to avoid accidentally crushing it with your thumb or finger when you twist the shaver head on and off the groomer. An improvement would be a protective plastic foil cover, but since Remington replaced the part promptly I have absolutely no complaints and gladly rate this product with 5 stars.

TLDR: Excellent quality and value for moneyLook, I'm not sponsored or anything, just a guy that shops for good stuff off Amazon or ebay (if cheaper) and I always search for good quality products and let me tell you, this trimmer is NICE. I can't speak for the durability as I've only had it for a little under 2 weeks but I use it about every other day.Let's get into the details. This is a trimmer so there isn't a whole lot to talk about.Pros:- Quality is excellent, feels comfortable to hold and the twist on/off design is a much better one as you're less likely to break the heads vs snap on/off ones from other brands.- It trims really close, I mean I had another trimmer from Hizek (I don't see it on Amazon anymore) and this gives me a much closer shave and the blades are sharp so there is no tugging.- Two modes, I find either mode to be powerful enough to cut hair with ease. Having different speeds is good if you need it.- 1.5mm guard, I mean the smallest I had before this was 3mm so having the 1.5mm in this is perfect, as well as the other sizes. Also the nose/eyebrow trimmer is excellent.- Comes with a little pouch/carrying bag. It's nothing luxurious or screams quality, but it gets the job done and is a nice-to-have that comes with your purchase. I appreciate having it.Cons:- None yet as it is all I need and more for the money.If you're still looking around for what trimmer set to get, I too was that guy and after reading multiple reviews I settled on this. If you're shopping for that husband, boyfriend, brother, father, whatever, I think they'd love this as a gift.Maintenance:- Just remember to wash and dry your trimming heads after use and touch a bit of oil on them before putting it back in storage. The lifespan of your tools are highly dependent on the care you give to them.PS. My cheap Hizek one didn't stop 'working', it just wouldn't turn off and the on/off switch was malfunctioning so I had to get rid of it. Wasn't worth fixing either. But this is way better quality. Happy trimming!
