I wanted a cheap foil razor since I usually shave with a blade, mostly for travel. I believe different faces react differently to different razors. For me, after only 3 uses I am getting about as close of a shave that I did with a $90 Braun bought 10 years ago or so (since retired). Usually the razor will adjust to your face for a week or two until you get the closest shave. Yes, it's noisy, yes, I wish it had a plastic blade guard. It feels good in my hand, and I like the pivoting head. Great value overall.

The reason I bought this f7490 is because i had another one and it worked good for 6 years until I broke it... Whatever, the thing is that I got so used to it that if something is different it just sticks out. Well two things for sure: 1. The head is missing the springs in there, it's like a steering wheel not having the power steering 2. Gave me a lousy, half used brush that looks like an old tooth brush

I've never been able to find an electric shaver, for any amount of money, that shaves me as close as a blade but I keep trying. There are times or days where I can't blade shave and will settle for the convenience of an electric. This Remington, for under $22, shaves better than the $100 Norelco it replaced. I don't know how it will hold up but it works very well but still not as close a shave as a blade. The only negatives are its a loud razor and its a big razor. Battery life is terrific so far and the popup trimer works well as does the floating head.

The batteries eventually failed on my first F4790 after a number of years of use, and during that time, I replaced the cutters with a similar product to this two times, so I used a total of 3 cutters on a single shaver. Replacement cutters may seem a little expensive when comparing them to the cost of a brand new shaver, but they're well worth the money, and it's less wasteful. The shaver works so well that a person doesn't realize that they should probably replace the cutters more often, because they do get dull. When you get a new set, it's like getting a brand new shaver, and then you realize that it takes only half the time to get the job done. One set I replaced was so dull (probably over 3 years old), that it eventually wore through the foil, but it was actually still working. I probably should replace the cutters with something like this every 1-2 years. The only flaw of the F4790 is that the foils can get damaged/dented easily while traveling, which causes the cutter to tear through the foil, so using the protective shield is critical. If you get careless, like I did once with my first F4790 and just now with my second F4790, if there's still good life in the batteries, replace the cutters with these. This is now my 3rd set of cutters for my second F4790, and the batteries are still running strong. The main reason for writing this review is that the last set of cutters that I bought was in the yellow/orange packaging, and even though they carry the Remington logo, they're either a knock-off or an old version, because the plastic housing that held the foils was made from a slightly different shaped mold, which didn't lock in as tightly, so it would pop loose while using it every couple of days. It functioned OK, but it was very annoying, having to keep snapping it back in. Before buying this one in the blue packaging, I was hesitant, because I was worried that the tab on my shaver may have been worn, but this new one snapped in tight. This one in the blue packaging is the real deal.Read full review

This is an excellent value and a great shaver. This shaver gives me one of the closests and most comfortable shaves I have had. I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the fact that it did not come with a screen guard which leaves the shaving screen vulnerable when storing or charging.
