Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free. Genius Straighteners? Remington state that if you want cutting edge technology that?s usually found in hair salons, then these are the straighteners for you. In fact, Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year, Steven Goldsworthy, goes as far as saying these are the Ferrari of all hair straighteners! After reading this I was certainly intrigued, could they really be as good as they sound? The plates on these straighteners have the most advanced Ceramic coating, vital if you want a smooth finish with your straighteners, rather than a static look. They also...

Remington's Diamond of a Beard Trimmer

Advantages: Great performance and features. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

...INTRODUCTION I went through a phase of sporting a goatee, but was finding it increasingly difficult to keep it tidy and well maintained. The problem with normal, bog standard, manual razors is that it?s very easy to accidentally cut into your beard, forcing you to adjust the other side to keep it symmetrical. If you make enough mistakes, your goatee starts shrinking and frankly, looking ridiculous. Much to my wife and daughter?s despair, I decided to make a long term commitment to facial hair by investing in a proper beard trimmer. With Nectar points to burn, Argos was the obvious destination, and I ended up in investing in Remington?s MB 320C ? for no other reason than it sounded fancy and it looked good. IN THE BOX The trimmer comes in a zip up travel pouch with plenty of room to store the unit and its various...

Remington Fuzz-Away.

Advantages: Simple and easy to use and works well .
Disadvantages: None.

...What a great little gadget The Remington Fuzz-Away is, I remember the first one I got as a pressie about 15 years ago, I'm now on my third one due to the fact that the first one I owned was stepped on and the second was borrowed and I did'nt get it back! This little battery operated gadget is used for shaving off those unsightly bobbles that appear on your clothes, I've used it with very good results on socks, jumpers, tops, trousers and jogging bottoms, But it can also be used on cushions,curtains and bedding ect and isn't just limited to clothing. The Fuzz-away is simply a low voltage battery operated fabric shaver which is small and lightweight and fits nicely in the hand. It has a perforated mesh head which is glided back and forth over the fabric until the bobbles are removed. The bobbles are removed by...

Remington S9000

Advantages: temperature control, smooth plates
Disadvantages: age quickly, confusing controls

...With wavy hair, I haven't got ringlets to iron out, so the lower temperature settings on the Remington S9000 were perfect for me. To perfect styles, the higher temperatures work alright. The Remington S9000s aren't the best straighteners I have ever owned, after a year of use I can tell the difference between brand new and well used; unlike the GHD's I owned for 2 years! The smooth plates are kind to my hair, but with hairspray can become sticky - like most hair straighteners. The Remington S9000s are also quite difficult to programme to the right temperature, a simple 'hot' or 'cool' setting would have worked perfectly, but its like using a clothes iron on your hair! The Remington S9000s are also quite heavy, unlike the GHD's, so even though they straighten out my waves for a good few hours, I wouldn't recommend them to people...

Review of Remington S 9000 Damage Defence

REMINGTON 2X PROTECTION

Advantages: Heat up very fast.
Disadvantages: People assume they're not as good as GHD.

...The particular model that I am refering to in this review, are the Remington S1002 slim ceramic Teflon coated model. I originally bought these because they were only £35, assuming that they would just about do the job, as I really could not justify paying £100 for GHD straighteners. I thought that GHDs were just a craze, I must admit, it is a craze that has lasted, but I feel they have an unjustified high status. After using these straighteners for the first time, Iknew that I had bought the right ones. Myhair is kind of frizzy, but also quite oily, (that's hairdresser talk for greasy!). I have always bought straighteners that included a steamer, to moisturise my hair, which always just made it more frizzy. I grew really fed up of this, and cut it off, myself, into a short bob. Surprise, surprise, not but one month later...

Review of Remington Ceramic Straighteners

Excellent shave RUINED by design flaws

Advantages: Great clean shave, quick charge time, funky colours
Disadvantages: Design and position of on/off button is infuriating!

...I used to have an old Remington shaver and since that lasted about 4 years before it finally gave up the ghost, I decided to go for another. I plumped for the F510 F5 because it was on special offer at Amazon, so I got it for £29.99! Extra features for no extra cost were a big lure I have to say! Normally the Titanium series shavers come in at over £60, which would be a bit much on my budget. But let's see what you get for the extra money. The main selling point is that the F510 uses Titanium coated foils, which is meant to give a better "cutting performance" and they're supposed to last longer. Initially I was quite sceptical as I don't believe anything can replace the feel of a wet shave, but I was surprised! These titanium foils are brilliant! The overall shave is much smoother, and over about 6 months I've not noticed any...

Forget GHDs Remington's are FAST & Smooth...

Advantages: heat up fast, glides smoothly, ceramic plus Teflon coated, durable, 3 year warranty, safety carry case included and Excellent VALUE for money
Disadvantages: on/off switch can get switched off accidentally when holding

...to find an alternative ceramic hair straightener? I spent well over a year deciding which hair straightener to go for and it's about a year since Ciao added this Remington product after my request and I'm glad to see there are already 3 User reviews. Now I'm finally able to form my own opinion after a years usage. Why Remington? And not GHD's? Due to the reasons mentioned above of high cost of GHD's I had also read worrying reports about GHD's blowing up, yes that's right, people have mentioned they saw flames coming out from the cable, whilst others have reported after a while they stop coming on or heat up much hotter than before. I did consider other straighteners like the Hai stik straightener, which is America's top selling hair straightener retailing at around £85 making it just marginally cheaper than GHD's. The reason I...

remingtons

Advantages: the way your hair looks after using
Disadvantages: the heat of the product

...I own remington straighteners and I personally would recommend then. my hair has a natural kink and is very wavey and when i use the straighteners my hair becomes poker straight. They do become very very hot because there is no heat settings which is an advantage really with my type of hair as with other straighteners i have used it takes a while to do my hair, but with remingtons the time spent doing your hair decreases. As they do get very hot a concern to many people is that they will be burn your hair I have never burnt my hair using remingtons. They are very easy to use as all you do is plug them in. I have noticed that your not waiting ages for them to heat up they heat up very quickly which is good for people who are in a rush. Remingtons are good for styling your hair using the straighteners, i curl my hair using using them...

Sony Ericsson C510 for Lou :)

Advantages: Good looking and lightweight
Disadvantages: none... so far!

...Sony Ericsson C510 Phone About a month ago I was sitting here doing my usual "spend too much time on Facebook" when one of the little ad's at the side of the page caught my eye for a free phone with certain traffifs on 3 network, having been on O2 for ages I was slightly wary of 3 as I have heard bad press about them, but I decided to have a look anyway and after reading about this C510 phone I decided to give them a go. Within 2 days I had my new phone delivered and was busy setting it up, ready to discover a Sony Ericsson with a difference. The phone loaded up as a normal mobile does, after waiting a few minutes I started making my way through the menus and slowly personalising it. The first thing I noticed was the Menu screen is almost identical to the previous Sony Ericsson phones I have had, the menu screen consists...

Remington S-9901 straightners.

Advantages: Adjustable temperature, Extra lond lead with swivel end, 6 seconds to heat up, Automatic turnoff
Disadvantages: None

...Out of the many makes of straightners out there i can tell you now that this make is a must to get if you are looking for the best. They can remove any kind of curl or frizz, from the frizziest of hair to the curliest of hair types no matter how thick. I should know i 'v had trouble with buying the right straightners in the past which have been unable to cope with my hair. The Remington S-9901 do what they say 'straighten'. It has an adjustable temerature setting ranging from 140-230, whichtakes only 6 seconds to heat up. Also has automatic turn off if left on. Has an extra lond lead with the added bonus of a swivel connection to the straightners, which makes them a lot easier to move whilst styling. Came with a heat proof bag and mat with hair clips. For value of money, I would say they are worth it....
