Customer Reviews:
A quick, close shave
I’ve had a lot of experience with electric shavers (20+ years) using several different brands and models. Before using this Remington, I was using a Panasonic ES8109 (about $180) for about a year. Before that, I had a Braun Syncro 7540 (about $150) for several years. Before that, I used several Remington dual foils. I was always happy with my Remingtons way back then, but I was lured away by the convenience of a self-cleaning shaver. Though this one isn’t self-cleaning, Remington just might have won me back.
Pros:
*A close shave! I haven’t had this close of a shave in years. It really is as close as a blade.
*It’s fast. I didn’t think three foils would be that much faster than two, but I find myself choosing the Remington over my Panasonic morning after morning for the speed advantage alone. It really does take far fewer passes to get everything.
*Holds a long charge. Since this Remington offers a quick shave, getting 10+ days out of one charge isn’t a problem.
*Can be used with the cord. This is a significant draw for me, because I tend to forget to plug my shaver in, and when I need it, I need it NOW, not after waiting for it to charge. Some shavers (such as my Panasonic) can only be used in battery mode. This is probably a safety feature so some dunce doesn’t try to use it plugged in while taking a shower. The drawback to that is that if you forget to charge it, you’ll have to wait. And once the batteries stop holding a charge (inevitable with all shavers), you’ve got nothing but a paperweight. I kept using my Braun with the cord for years after the battery conked out (buying a new shaver only when I temporarily misplaced the Braun during a trip). It’s nice to know I’ll have that option with this Remington.
*The head assembly pivots very effectively and smoothly.
*The trimmer, when popped up, is positioned conveniently (for my taste, anyway), adjacent to the foils. It feels very natural to use, and it works extremely well. I like my Panasonic, but I’ve never gotten used to the odd, almost perpendicular, placement of the trimmer.
*Can be used wet or dry, and the head can be cleaned with liquid soap and water.
Cons:
*It’s big, awkwardly shaped, and a little uncomfortable in the hand. Poor ergonomics.
*It doesn’t come with a travel bag.
*It gives such a close shave, it leaves my skin feeling a little irritated. I remember now that I had a problem with my old Remingtons doing this (and I never “adjusted” to that). It’s not a big deal (the price of a really close shave), but it’s worth mentioning.
*The foil-protector cap is a little difficult to get on and off.
Overall, this is a fine, though imperfect, shaver. If I could give it four and a half stars, I would. I have three electric shavers available for my use now, and this is by far the cheapest. Yet it’s the one I’ll be reaching for tomorrow morning.
A review from a first time electric shaver user. Not impressed. Defenitely not as close as a razor!
I’ve always used razors because I could never see how an electric could give as close a shave. I decided to give this a fair shot and try it since the price was right.
My first impressions on this shaver is that it is HUGE! It is 6 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide. This was definitely not what I expected (size wise) as I see much smaller electric razors in the stores. I was also disappointed that there was no stand for this but after reading other reviews can see how this missing item could be a blessing if and when the battery dies permanently since you can also use this plugged in. It does fit in my hand well as the grip is right. I also like the fact it has LEDs showing how much power is left. I charged this once so far and have used this for several weeks and it is still near full power and has not been recharged since the initial 24 hour charge.
I tried using this after a shower, dry shave, and wet shave all with the same results. It takes me significantly longer to shave with this (up to 10 times longer) than with a razor and I cannot get a clean shave like with a razor. If I pull the skin tight and press the shaver hard it gets some areas almost as clean as a razor but cannot give me a clean shave all over. I still feel stubble and when I use a razor after using this I can see there is still a fair amount that the electric cannot reach.
For those that like electric razors and are used to the stubble feel and claim this is as close as a blade may like this but I find it takes up too much of my time to use it to get it anywhere near as close a shave as I like. I may use this on occasion, in the future, when I don’t shave for a few days and don’t have to go to work but this will never replace or even get the same amount of use as my razor blade. The trimmer works OK but also requires a few passes before it cleans up nicely.
Because I have never owned an electric razor I cannot provide a comparison on whether the 3 heads are better than 2. I can’t picture how much difference it would make considering how long it took me to get a somewhat close shave using this. I can say that had I seen how large this shaver was I wouldn’t have gotten it. I can also say that it hasn’t irritated my skin nor have I had discomfort with the edges like another reviewer mentioned.
I’ll be sticking with my razor. I rated it a 3 because it is easy to clean and works as stated but because it can’t give as close a shave as I like and is HUGE that 3 is stretching a bit.
For those of you using razors stick with them and don’t waste your money.
Remington F 5790 Foil Shaver
My experience with this shaver has been, for lack of a better word, inconsistent. As a result, I have waited about 5 weeks to post a review. When I first got the Remington F5790, I was quite impressed with its performance–even though its size and weight were somewhat more than I was used to. It quickly gave me a very close and clean shave. As I continued to use, it started to occasionally burn my skin so I decided I’d just try to be more careful. However, it was not long before the shaver started leaving nicks… It has now been my decision to go back to my previous shaver, Braun. Admittedly, shaving takes longer in the morning but at least I’m not running out the door with torn Kleenex corners stuck to my face…. I’ve seen numerous reviewers state that the shave is just not close enough for them. The only thing I can figure is that their beards must be quite a bit heavier than mine.
Amazon.com Product Description

Shaver Adjusts to the Contours of Your Face
The F-5790 features a flexible, pivoting design that allows you to negotiate the difficult angles of your face. Thanks to Remington’s advanced Pivot & Flex technology, the shaver rolls over your chin and jawbone with ease. With up to 10% more pivot than other leading foil razors, the F-5790 maintains better contact with your skin, so you get a cleaner shave.
Top-Quality Blades Deliver a Close, Gentle Shave
With titanium coating, the F-5790’s blades are heavy duty, yet they deliver a nick-free shave. Because of their hardy titanium finish, the foils are resistant to dulling. Also, the titanium surface keeps things gentle, guarding against cuts, scratches, and irritation.
Additionally, the shaver’s three foils provide a greater total cutting area and enable a much faster shave. Each of the foils moves and flexes independently to make shaving comfortable. The blades are also completely washable, and they rinse quickly and easily under a faucet.
Designed for Easy Operation
The F-5790 has an arching, ergonomic design, making it easy and comfortable to grip; this alleviates stress on your hand while you shave. The shaver also has a color LED, which clearly indicates battery life and gauges remaining time.
For further convenience, the F-5790 features a pop-out trimmer that’s ideal for detail work like sideburn trimming. The trimmer has three positions–lock, intercept, and trip–making it a versatile addition to your grooming kit.
Long-Lasting Battery Allows for Cordless Operation
When operated cordlessly, the F-5790 relies on a high-performance NiMh rechargeable battery for power. The battery, which takes only two hours to fully charge, provides up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving time–enough for 30 shaves. If you’re in a hurry, the shaver also has a quick charge-mode, which gives your battery a time-saving boost.
Additionally, the F-5790 accepts universal voltage, so it can be used and charged worldwide. It is backed by Remington’s two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
