 Great product September 28, 2008
I needed a trimmer to maintain about 1.5mm of stubble and I decided to purchase the Remington MB320C after reading numerous reviews. The trimmer does the job comfortably and quickly. Easy to use. Would recommend to others especially for the price.
Great for creating designer stubble too August 23, 2008

I don't have a beard but I hate being clean shaven, instead preferring the look of about 3 days' growth, which for me equates to around 2mm of stubble.
After doing a bit of research I decided on the Remington Professional MB320C and after 3 weeks of regular use I'm very impressed.
The comb guard that covers the blade is cleverly designed so that there's no chance of accidentally taking off too much length. After reading reviews of other similar products and seeing people complaining about poor guard design requiring very careful angling and positioning of the trimmer, I was very pleased to find that with the Remington you can just casually hack away with no danger whatsoever of taking too much off and ending up with a patchy beard/patchy stubble.
The battery seems to last for a while as I've used it roughly once every other day and it hasn't needed another charge yet.
It's also got a decent precision trimmer on the reverse, so you can trim sideburns etc.
This is a great product and is perfect whether you just want stubble or you've got a proper beard to maintain. It's also good value for money too given the price tag.

This product is, I believe, the best available, especially at the price. Previously I had a Braun trimmer which set me back 50, and was useless. It couldn't cope with trimming hair, it instead pulled at it and never once gave an even trim. I supposed that it was my lot, that all trimmers must be the same, but thought that, based on the reviews, I'd try this product for about half the price. It couldn't be better; it trims perfectly without any hint of pulling, catching or hacking, quickly and effectively, at any length. I prefer the shorter lengths, and whereas before I'd have to have a clean shave and start again to get a stubble look, I can now just trim to any length I like in the same time or less as it would take to have a wet shave. I didn't think that this product could be as much of an improvement on my old trimmer as it is, so I recommend that if you have any problems with your current trimmer as described above, then try this! It's worth twice the price.
Great product! July 8, 2008

I was looking for a replacement beard trimmer that had a short trim length of around 1.5mm, a decent price, and backed up by good reviews; the Remington MB320C caught my eye and seemed to satisfy these requirements. I found the two supporting reviews on Amazon informative and was the deciding factor on the purchase, compared to other reviews I'd seen on alternative makes/models.
Amazon.co.uk offered a decent price, provided the expected excellent delivery service and sound packaging, so well done Amazon!
First impressions of the beard trimmer was a solid, well built, tactile, comfortable and well balanced in the hand, product; very well designed.
The Trimmer Comb Attachment is adjusted by the well placed thumb wheel; it has a good positive engagement when setting. The Trimmer Comb moves up and down to achieve the desired cut length, it surrounds the razor mechansim to improve the handling and control; it's easily removed by pulling off, but again this has a positive action and firm positioning.
Your first job will be to charge up the trimmer for 14-16 hours. The three plug/transformer combo provides the means to re-charge, with a lamp on the trimmer to indicate charging is taking place, however when fully charge the lamp remains lit, so there's no means to indicate full charge - just watch the clock.
The Trimmer Comb is well designed and provides a fairly wide platform that sits against your skin to allow for an exceptional, even, well controlled shave/trim; it's also easy to clean.
There are 9 shave settings/lengths available, set by the thumb wheel and next to that is a number indicator 1 to 9. The settings are as follows 1=1.5mm, 2=2.5mm, 3=4mm, 4=5.5mm, 5=7mm, 6=9mm, 7=11mm, 8=14mm, 9=18mm. Now I only use the short length settings so unable to comment on the longer settings, but I started off with the 1/1.5mm setting which provided a good even cut, but I did find that compared to other trimmers I've used this seemed a tad shorter, so I've now settled for the 2/2.5mm setting that seems to cut to around the 2mm mark. It should also be noted that the Comb and Thumb Wheel holds its place in-between settings so if careful may offer further cut lengths!
There's a low charge warning lamp on the trimmer, and pulling off the comb attachment allows the pop-up trimmer to be activated. The Comb length setting remains when taking off and replacing back the attachment, which is handy.
The real proof is in the handling and shave, and I've found this to be a delight to use. 10/10.
Too early to comment on reliability (had it for only a few weeks), but I suspect based on the build it will stand the test of time.
Highly recommended beard trimmer and good value for the money.

Without a doubt the best beard trimmer I have ever had. Easy to use, the battery lasts a long time, 30 minutes at least and it cuts a treat. It certainly beats the Babyliss models that I have had in the past (2 to date) which had a battery life of 5 minutes, if you were lucky, and did not cut cleanly
