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.

...have longer length plates meaning it?s quicker to straighten your hair. Remington also state that these have ?floating plate technology? which apparently means they glide through your hair easily, without snagging. The straighteners themselves are a gold colour, although Remington likes to call this a ?Champagne/brushed gold metallic offset with black gloss? to make them sound a bit more ?posh!? The packaging of the straighteners was nice, it gave off the impression that these straighteners are of a high quality, but nothing on the box made them really stand out from the many other straighteners already on the market. With these Genius Straighteners you can choose to set the temperature, between 130?C and 230?c. A handy feature as many people don?t require them to be as hot as 230?C, and many other brands out there boast about their 230...

Review of Remington S9810

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...

Review of Remington MB 320 C Performance

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 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...

Review of Remington Fuzz-Away

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...

Review of Remington CS 5000 Power Ceramic

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

...was attracted to the Hai stick is because it has a digitally controllable heat setting (which GHD' s do not have). If you're interested in the hai stik read starsally's excellent review on it. The price however, was too much for me again. Overall, the take home message from the popular GHD is that they are fine when they work but they do break and this fact is backed up by the fact that GHD only give the consumer a 1-year warranty. If a manufacturer was really sure about the durability of their product they would offer a warranty of at least 2 years which is not uncommon on electrical personal use items. Remington on the other hand give a substantial 3 year warranty and no manufacturer would give such a generous warranty if they were not sure of their product, would they? I had also read quite a few positive User reviews about...

Review of Remington S1002

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

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....

Review of Remington S 9901 NANO GOLD

remington straightner

Advantages: heat settings, silky shiny hair, good as GHD
Disadvantages: Doesn't curl like some straightners can.

...I have this straightner and it is JUST AS GOOD as GHD! It makes my hair shiny, it hasnt damaged it much at all, you can also curl with it, however it straightens better tbh. Its sleek design and glides through your hair easily. However, my hair is naturally very straight but i do have a serious cows lick under my fringe n it straightners it out easily! The heat settings is great for what type of hair you have, i usually have it on its highest because i am in a rush in the morning and it takes less time! The wire is SO long which is great for walking around with when doing your hair! It also has a swivel cable so you dont get any restrictions. The price is also SO good! i was really suprised, i got mine for christmas and i think it was about £30 from argos, however know i think its a little cheaper if you shop around. I thoroughly...

Review of Remington S 2012 PRO SLIM

Remington S8100 Cerami.

Advantages: Straightens hair from wet to dry.
Disadvantages: Price.

...I got these hair straightener"s as a christmas present so I've been using them for just over 3 month's now, I asked for these as my present on the recommendation from my sister who said they were the best one's she's had so far, This is my third set of straightener's and since using them I've got to agree with her they're the best one's I've had. The difference with these straightener's to the other's I've owned is the fact that they can be used on wet hair eliminating the need of a hairdryer, which for me is a bonus as it saves time, and also drying with a hairdryer and then using a hot straightener puts your hair under double the stress not to mention getting yourself all hot and bothered! The teflon coated ceramic plates heat up in no time and are very safe to use on damp hair, and have a temperature control which can be...
