The Remington Vacuum 5 in 1 Grooming Kit (Model No. PG6070) is a versatile personal grooming appliance designed for cordless use, offering a range of functions for beard, moustache, sideburn, body, nose, and ear hair trimming and shaving. Its key feature is the integrated vacuum technology, which aims to capture cut hairs for a cleaner grooming experience.
Function Description
The primary function of this grooming kit is to provide comprehensive hair removal and styling for various body parts. It operates cordlessly, allowing for freedom of movement during use. The device is equipped with an on/off switch and features a blade set for cutting hair.
The core of its functionality lies in its interchangeable attachment heads, each designed for a specific grooming task:
- Wide Trimmer Vacuum Attachment Head: This is the main trimming head, featuring vacuum technology to collect cut hairs. It can be used with an adjustable beard comb (2-16mm, 2mm adjustment) or four fixed attachment guide combs (3, 6, 9, 12mm) for various hair lengths. This head is suitable for general beard trimming, shaping, and thinning.
- Detail Trimmer Vacuum Attachment Head (0.4mm): This attachment is designed for precise trimming, such as defining beard and moustache lines, sideburns, and other detailed areas. It also incorporates vacuum technology.
- Foil Shaver Attachment Head: This head is used for clean shaving facial areas. It's important to note that the vacuum technology does not feature on this attachment head.
- Body Hair Trimmer Attachment: This attachment is specifically for trimming body hair. Similar to the foil shaver, the vacuum technology does not feature on this attachment. It can be used with three guide combs (3mm, 6mm, 9mm) for different body hair lengths.
- Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer Attachment: This attachment is designed for safely removing unwanted hair from the nose and ears, as well as for eyebrow grooming.
The integrated vacuum technology is a significant feature, particularly for the wide and detail trimmer heads. It works by vacuuming cut hairs into an easy-to-empty vacuum chamber located on the front of the beard trimmer, aiming to reduce mess during grooming.
Usage Features
The Remington Vacuum 5 in 1 Grooming Kit is designed for ease of use and versatility.
Getting Started:
- Before first use, the unit requires charging for 4-6 hours for optimal performance. Subsequent charges typically take 4 hours.
- The charging indicator light turns blue during charging and switches off when charging is complete.
- The product is for cordless use only and cannot be operated while plugged into the mains. A full charge provides up to 60 minutes of cordless use.
- It is crucial to ensure the product is switched off before connecting the charging adaptor.
Attaching and Removing Attachment Heads and Combs:
- Attachment heads are easily selected and placed on top of the unit, clicking into place securely.
- To remove an attachment head, release buttons on the side of the head must be pressed while pulling the head away.
- The adjustable comb is used with the wide trimmer attachment head, aligning its side rails with the slots and sliding it downward until it clicks.
- Fixed guide combs are hooked to the front teeth of the wide trimmer blade and pushed down until they snap into place.
- When first using the kit, it's recommended to start with a higher numbered setting on the adjustable comb to become familiar with the cutting length.
Trimming and Styling:
- Beard/Moustache Trimming: Users select the desired length using either the fixed comb or the adjustable comb. The flat top of the trimmer comb is placed against the skin, and the trimmer is slowly slid through the hair. Repeating motions from different directions ensures an even cut.
- Thinning and Tapering: Similar to general trimming, the desired length comb is selected, and the trimmer is slowly slid through the hair.
- Defining Lines: For precise lines, the detail trimmer attachment head is used. The trimmer blade is gently lowered onto the skin and moved along the desired beard/moustache line.
- Sideburn Trimming: The wide or detail trimmer blade is held facing the user, and motions are made from the edge of the sideburn towards the sideburn line, with blades resting lightly against the skin.
- Nape of the Neck Trimming: This operation may require a hand mirror if performed alone. The fixed or adjustable comb is removed from the wide trimmer. Fingers are used to lift hair at the base of the head, covering the roots to prevent accidental removal. The trimmer is then held at the base of the neck with the cutting unit facing up and moved up the neck length until it touches the finger. Slow, controlled movements are essential.
- Body Hair Trimming: The body hair trimmer attachment head is used with guide combs (3mm, 6mm, 9mm). The flat top of the trimmer comb is placed against the skin and slowly slid through the hair in the direction of hair growth. The wide trimmer can also be used for body hair trimming, benefiting from its vacuum technology.
- Shaving Facial Areas: The foil shaver attachment head is used. The skin is stretched with a free hand to make hairs stand upright. Light pressure is applied to the foil head against the skin, using short, vertical strokes. More pressure can be applied for stubborn hairs. For thick hair, pre-trimming may be necessary.
- Nose and Ear Hair Removal: The nose and ear hair trimmer attachment is gently inserted into the nostril or ear (no more than 6mm) and moved in and out while rotating.
- Eyebrow Grooming: The nose, ear, eyebrow attachment is used to gently guide the cutting unit along the eyebrow line or over protruding hairs, using slow, controlled movements to remove unwanted hair.
Vacuum Technology:
- The vacuum chamber should be emptied after each use by sliding out the section away from the beard trimmer. This ensures optimal performance and cleanliness.
Tips for Best Results:
- Beard, moustache, and sideburn hairs should be dry before trimming.
- Avoid using lotions before use.
- When trimming for the first time, start with the maximum comb length setting.
