Kathy Kruk: THIS PRODUCT WORKED GREAT UNTIL I HAD TO CHARGE IT FOR THE SECOND TIME AND IT WON'T CHARGE

Erin Cleaveley: I ordered these the end of Dec., its now the end of April and the won't work unless they stay plugged in. I've cut hair twice with them, which means they had their original charge and the charge I just did in order to use them this time and something has gone wrong. They no longer work without the cord attached. Other than that they were decent the first use.

Aaron Kagan: The product cuts well (but not balding short which is fine because it doesn't pinch)
The suction is amazing and only have to clean up a tiny bit of hairs.

THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD AFTER A YEAR. Only works corded.
I called Remington and they said they have had issues with this battery and that they have discontinued this model.
They offered to replace it with either the corded model (nor for me, I want cordless) or with another model that is a cordless vacuum beard trimmer (smaller blade). I chose the beard trimmer because i prefer the cordless and it's also vacuum.

I would recommend either looking at another model or the corded model which is cheaper or if you want take a chance on the battery you can take this one but don't be surprised if it dies.

CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GREAT and they shipped me out the other model no questions asked. The rep seemed to already know about this when I mentioned the model.

mamabearharper: I bought this to cut my husband's and three of my son's hair. I had been using the Remington 3000 Multigroomer (which I loved), but the cutting blade was narrow, so I thought I would try this. I was really looking forward to this trimmer, as it had guards for longer cuts (one inch guard). When I unboxed it, I found it to be really heavy, especially after using the smaller unit. Very much heavier, to the point of being awkward to use at certain angles. I charged it before using the first time but it only lasted for a few minutes, so I had to cut my husband's hair while plugged in (and the cord is pretty short - not fun!). I charged it again and if it doesn't work for haircut #2, it will be going back. I also don't like the fact that I have to oil the blade. I never oiled the blade of the smaller unit and it still cuts beautifully.

humza: The design of this device is quite clever. It is designed as a whale (like a blue-whale, right whale, humpback whale, etc). The cutting blades give way to a wide open 'mouth' or hair trap. Unfortunately, this reduces the efficacy of the suction. HOWEVER, increased suction would only be viable with a much smaller mouth. It is NOT the suction that makes this device so effective but rather the suction combined with a wide open mouth or hair trap.

The blades are sharp. You must oil them though. The blades are also 'soft' and there are not nicks. This is a really good device on par with the Phillips One Blade.

You will create LESS mess using this device. By less mess I mean less by many many times. I made only a fraction - a tiny fraction perhaps 1/20th - of the mess using this blade.

I shave my head two to four times a month and this has saved me easily one to three hours of cleaning.

Great design.

G. Gerwig: Bought this to use during COVID. I also have a Wahl corded clipper which worked well but the cord got in the way and hair went everywhere necessitating standing in the tub and vacuuming up afterwards. This cordless Remington Hc6550 hair clipper has a built-in vacuum that does a fabulous job of sucking up 95% of the hair as it cuts! Plus, it's cordless which makes it 10x easier for an old single guy like me to hold and maneuver. It isn't too heavy either ,however it's slightly bigger round than clippers without an onboard vacuum. You have to be careful not to drop it when cutting the hair on the back of your head. It has a lithium battery that easily holds a one hour charge! It has a complete set of snap on plastic spacer clips that are strong and make it easy to get the perfect cut (I like my hair short). For longer hair, you really need someone to help you with the back but for short hair, you can just snap on a clip for your desired length & go! Cleaning is very easy, the vacuum chamber snaps out & the filter screen is removable. Both chamber & filter are washable plastic. These clippers come with sissors, hair holders, brush, and clipper oil. The instructions are...

R. Quitasol: I was watching an infomercial on the Wahl cordless vacuum beard trimmer. I actually was looking to see if there was a hair trimmer with comparable features and I was a little put off by Wahl's price and found this Remington HC6550 at way less than the Wahl kit.

Remington, to me, was always a company for electric shavers, right up there with Norelco, so I was skeptical about buying a hair clipper from a "electric shaving" company. When you research hair clippers, they always promise a durable product with great results. Uhm, NOT REALLY, not so much as far as results.

I've owned a Conair (plug in) hair clipper which sounded professional by its hum, but it was terribile. The blades pulled at my hair, and didn't really trim the hairs efficiently in one sweep, which ended up to be time consuming and a big let down from its shabby results.

I was a little happier when I purchased a Panasonic wet/dry cordless trimmer. It did a better job at trimming the sides of my hair, but still it was not something that left me overjoyed, but it was and still is reliable when I need to trim bushed up sideburns or growing whiskers or doing a little manscaping. The only big problem...
