Full review
Longer notes from the same comments we summarized above.
What people reported
Some owners found the Remington Balder Pro provided a smooth and comfortable head shave. A few reported their shaver lasting for years, suggesting good durability when properly maintained. For instance, one user stated their unit was "still going after years" with regular use every 3-4 days. Some also appreciate its value for money.
Problems people mention
A significant number of owners experienced reliability issues. Many reported the shaver stopping working or failing to charge after only a few uses, sometimes within months. One owner received a replacement that also failed after just three shaves. Users also mentioned blades getting clogged, requiring disassembly for thorough cleaning. The design, particularly the fifth center head, was criticized by some for making it difficult for all shaving heads to make proper contact, potentially prolonging shaving time. Additionally, the device reportedly cannot be used while plugged in, which some found inconvenient.
Where owners disagree
There's a split on the product's overall value and longevity. While some praise it as "worth the money" or a "beast," others call it "absolute garbage" and advise against buying it due to frequent failures. Opinions also vary on cleaning; some find it easy by running water through, while others struggle with blade clogging and reassembling the gasket after deep cleaning. One user suggested oiling blades might cause clogging, contradicting general maintenance advice for shavers.
Who it's for
The Remington Balder Pro is for individuals seeking an electric shaver for head grooming who prioritize a close shave and are comfortable with diligent maintenance. Potential buyers should be aware of the reported reliability concerns and consider the possibility of needing a replacement or extensive troubleshooting.
