Remington Barba Beard Trimmer (Advanced Ceramic Blades, Pop-up Detail Trimmer, Adjustable Zoom Wheel, 9 Length Settings, Comb Attachment, Cord or Cordless, 40-Minute Runtime) MB320C

This is the third Remington Barba I have had over the years, and I think the fact that I keep coming back speaks volumes about them. The problem is that each time they've given in (or I've worn them out), I thought I knew best and decided to find a better one to replace it. I searched around and found something that had more bells and whistles, was sucked in by the reviews and gimmicks and fell for the promises that I had found a perfect replacement. NOT! After a relatively short time, this new device would begin to show its weak points, the gimmicks that I never used, or indeed needed and its longevity clearly wasn't a patch on the Barba. So I replaced it with another Barba. A few years pass by and hey presto - déjà vu. Been here before. I've worn it out - but this time I WILL find a better one. And I thought I had until thing's began to repeat themselves. Lights failed. It wouldn't charge - or hold it's charge, accessories became loose, etc., etc. So here we are again. My third Remington Barba. The design hasn't changed much over the years. Its battery was upgraded a few years back, and the pop-up detailing trimmer is much better than it used to be. But there are no fancy lights, no numerical illuminated remaining power indicators, no clip on accessories and it's not really waterproof. But those niggles aside, for your money, you get a good, solid and reliable piece of kit. And guess what? It's a good beard trimmer. A very good trimmer indeed. So don't waste your time looking for something better. You won't find one, and it's time you'll never get back. You've been looking for good beard trimmer - Right? Of course you are. That's why you're reading this. Well, you've found it.

I don't have a beard but I hate being clean shaven, instead preferring the look of about 3 days' growth, which for me equates to around 2mm of stubble. After doing a bit of research I decided on the Remington Professional MB320C and after 3 weeks of regular use I'm very impressed. The comb guard that covers the blade is cleverly designed so that there's no chance of accidentally taking off too much length. After reading reviews of other similar products and seeing people complaining about poor guard design requiring very careful angling and positioning of the trimmer, I was very pleased to find that with the Remington you can just casually hack away with no danger whatsoever of taking too much off and ending up with a patchy beard/patchy stubble. The battery seems to last for a while as I've used it roughly once every other day and it hasn't needed another charge yet. It's also got a decent precision trimmer on the reverse, so you can trim sideburns etc. This is a great product and is perfect whether you just want stubble or you've got a proper beard to maintain. It's also good value for money too given the price tag. **Update 18/05/2013** Still going strong! On average I've used it twice per week, every week, and the blades are still sharp and cut well. The battery life has declined and a full charge is now enough for about an hour of constant usage, but this has only happened over the last couple of years and I doubt it'd present much of an issue unless you were using it every day. **Update 03/10/2017** It's still going and still cutting well! The battery struggles a lot now and is operating at a charge:shave ratio of 1:1, but I just run it directly off the mains using an extension lead so it's not an issue.

I think this is a pretty good trimmer. Easy to use and set to length. I cant comment on effectiveness for longer beards as I cut mine to 4 or 5 mm and works great. Think the comments that guard breaks when cleaning must be done by heavy handed people or those that haven't read instructions. Just rotate the wheel to max length and gently wiggle it and comes off easily. Put back the same. Nice pop up trimmer. With it set to 3mm I have also cut my hair with it and works fine. I have only taken 1 star off probably should be half a star as recharge is long. 14 to 16 hours but in reality for me it isn't an issue. Shave once a week then plug it in overnight. Not a deal breaker. All in i am very happy with it. 4.5/5

I’ve been using this Remington Barba trimmer for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. The ceramic blades feel super sharp and stay smooth even after several trims. I especially like the pop‑up detail trimmer—it makes cleaning up edges and getting precise lines so easy. The adjustable zoom wheel and nine length settings give a lot of flexibility, so I can go from a short stubble to a fuller beard without changing attachments. The detachable comb is simple to snap on and off, and it stays locked in place during use. Charging is quick and I get around 40 minutes of runtime cordless, which is plenty for my grooming routine. It also works while plugged in, so no need to wait if it’s low on battery. The build quality feels solid and lightweight at the same time. Overall this is a top quality trimmer that handles everything I need with ease. Would definitely buy again or recommend to anyone looking for something reliable and precise.

Perfect and good price

I bought my first 'Remington Barba Beard Trimmer' about 10 years ago and it has only stopped working last weekend when I dropped it on the hard bathroom floor. When it finally broke the grading adjustment mechanism had come loose and would no longer adjust. However, up until now the blades have kept their sharpness and the product has never presented a design flaw. I usually just store the shaver in a wash bag with a lot of other grooming equipment but the finish on the shaver has never dented or begun to look used and old. Even the silver coating down the sides has stayed looking pretty much new. On another instance when I had accidently dropped the shaver, one of the ribs from the plastic guard broke. I got on the phone to Remington and customer support sent out a free replacement that arrived within a couple of days. The only other problem I have had is that the battery began to lose its charge about 3 years into ownership so i've had to plug it in at the mains every time but the fact it has lasted about 10 years is incredible. This can be used as a head shaver/ hair cutter and a beard trimmer. I've owned a couple of more expensive clippers like the ones used in salons and the blades for both models lost their sharpness shortly after purchase. As said before not a problem with this product at all. Comparing it with a typical clipper it is much smaller, much easier to use, more accurate with closer grading, and doesn't require the grade guards to be changed. I used to pay about £20 a week to get my hair cut before I owned this and that was a cheap option usually involving trainees. Now I can cut my own hair in a variety of styles within 15 minutes and it costs me nothing. I hate to think what it costs now to get a professional haircut. I used to hate getting it done by someone else anyway, I much prefer doing it myself. So I have gone ahead and ordered another to replace it. This is one of those few products that does everything how it is supposed to and really impresses. I hope they continue to sell this item for years to come.

I've had several of these trimmers down the years and its the one I keep coming back to as the trim is good, battery lasts reasonably well for the price. The product itself is fine and would be 5 stars but its getting a 3 because for some reason on this occasion and its never happened before when I've purchased the product, I've been sent a 2 pin charger which is useless to me in UK. Luckily I've still got one of my old chargers which seems to do the job.

I was very happy with Barba Trimmer initially, however it very soon stopped charging. I have filled in a support form on the Remington Web Site and am awaiting a reply. Update - Credited in full and I have ordered a new replacement Remington Barba Trimmer and upgraded to 4 stars

Fonctionne très bien, même avec un poil de barbe courbe, épais et revèche. Top niveau qualité-prix.

Do tej pory byłem fanem Philips OneBlade, jednak nożyki są bardzo kosztowne. Przy twardym zaroście trzeba je bardzo często wymieniać. Remington bardzo dobrze radzi sobie nawet z twardym zarostem. Dzięki możliwości regulacji długości cięcia, każdy będzie mógł w łatwy sposób zadbać o swoją brodę :) Akumulatorek wystarcza naprawdę na wiele sesji, więc bez obaw! Ładowanie również następuje dosyć szybko.

Good

I'd been using this model for about 10 years. Only bought 2 in that time. Excellent job. I lost my last one when moving and bought another brand for a similar price. It's going in the bin. Picked up my new one of these today. Two minutes, perfect finish for facial hair, no hassles. Not as good as hair in areas a lady may want to examine with some scrutiny (it does nick wrickly areas) but I am my trimmed goatee are so glad to be home.

Buen producto, y muy buena calidad. Muy recomendable
