Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Kit: Professional-Grade Hair Clippers & Beard Trimmer for Men

Tommy Lajoie: I've owned this clipper since 2017, and it's definitely the best one I've had. Cleaning it is a breeze, and the battery is still holding up well after 5 years. I can't recommend it enough

Math D.: I bought this hair trimmer in February of 2019. I first got it because I was tired of going to the barber shop to get a simple hair cut for 20$ each time. I can say that it payed for itself in a couple months only!

Since I like my hair really short, this kit is really great to shave your head by yourself. It is super easy to use because of it's small size. I clean and oil mine after every use, with a heavier clean up (cleaning the inside) about every 6 months.

I use it at least once a week and it always performed well! I personnally keep mine plugged all the time, so I never experienced the loss of battery life an other review was mentioning. Actually, you can ear the clipper running faster when it's plugged, so I always use it like that anyway. I also use it to trim my beard when I don't want to use a razor and shaving cream

I would recommend this item 100%

Ovi B: It cuts fairly close, but not super close. It's like a very short haircut.

After about a year, the battery, even at full lasts about one use.
The blades get hot and stop often. I put oil on it but it just doesn't seem to be able to drive the motor enough anymore. It gets very easily clogged up now too; not sure what changed on it.
It takes an Allan key to open up the blades and clean it.

There is also an identical Chinese copy for half the price. That is quality suspicious, obviously.

Country Girl: This is a handy light weight hair trimmer and does a great job. Nice not to have a cord to bother with. It works well and is easy to clean up.

Philipp Haenel: Why I Love the Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Kit (And You Should Too!)

If you're looking for a convenient and easy way to cut your own hair at home, you might want to check out the Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Kit. This kit comes with everything you need to achieve a professional-looking haircut without spending time and money at the salon. Here are some of the features and benefits of this product that I personally love.

- The ergonomic design: The HC4250 has a curved blade that fits the shape of your head, allowing you to cut your hair evenly and comfortably. The handle is also rubberized and fits in your palm, giving you more control and precision.

Stu: Update to previous review:
I bought a new one. The battery on the new one was worse than my five year old shaver. They looked identical in every way, the new one just sounded like the battery was about to die out of the box. I did an initial charge for a day and tried running it for a bit and charging again with no better results. There was a very noticeable difference between how it sounded plugged in vs on battery, more so than my original one. As mentioned in some other reviews, I think Remington has a battery problem. It's possible I've been really unlucky, so you may get one that's great. Again, a great shaver apart from the battery and if you want to use it plugged in it's great. I returned the new shaver because I need the battery.
I've left my original review intact below.

Original review:
In general I like these. These were the first clippers I got to cut my own hair in a buzzcut fashion. I used three different lengths and it worked as well as can be expected when trying to cut your own hair holding a shaver and a mirror at the same time. I never experienced anything negative like hair being pulled, but my hair is quite fine, so perhaps that makes a...

West Texas: My sister cut hair for a living and always cut mine. I’ve always had fine hair so any kind of length was totally unmanageable unless I soaked it with mousse, gel or whatever the fad was at the time. I rarely used anything. I’m now in my 60’s and don’t have as much of that fine hair. When my sister passed I had to find a barber and start paying $16 to $20 per haircut. Sticker shock! I found a barber I liked. Well, I liked the barber the person, but not the barber the barber. It seems I never came away twice with the same haircut. I finally just grabbed by beard trimmer and started wacking my own hair. It came out kind of rough, but was good enough for me and I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. Not bad, but not professional either and it took forever. Doing the back of my head was a real PITA. In order to make my life easier I started hunting for something better.

I almost bought one of those round rotating things to cut my hair, but although they seemed like they could do okay on the majority of my scalp, around the ears, neck and such it would be useless and I would still have to use my beard trimmer.

I stumbled across this guy and took the chance. It came...
