Budget foil electric shaver
- Inexpensive
- Holds charge well
- Easy to clean
- Noisy
- Bulky trimmer isn't very effective
The Remington MicroScreen MS2-390 is a basic electric shaver without a lot of bells and whistles, but reviewers say you can't do much better for the money. One review found that it performed nearly as well as widely praised Braun Series 5 570cc (*Est. $175), which costs three times as much. User reviewers praise the MS2-390 for providing a close shave and for holding its charge well. Noise is an oft-cited criticism, and the trimmer is called too bulky to be useful. If you prefer a rotary shaver, the Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System (*Est. $80) also gets good reviews and can be used wet or dry.
ConsumerReports.org provides the most objective and thorough review of the Remington MicroScreen MS2-390 in a roundup, which compares 17 electric shavers. User reviews at Amazon.com are plentiful. Though the majority are pleased, a significant number are less so, supporting the idea that satisfaction with electric razors is very much a personal issue. A video review at ExpoTV.com gives viewers a chance to see the MS2-390 in action.
