 Nice Looking Shaver July 23, 2008

This is the second self-cleaning razor I've owned from Remington, after their first generation model. After 3 years that one wouldn't keep a charge, the mustache trimmer was broken, and the cleaning base had a crack in it. But, 3 years is pretty good on a shaver nowadays, and I was very happy with it while it worked. I was going to switch to Norelco, as I've always liked the looks of their products. But I saw this model on sale and decided to give Remington another go.
This shaver is a definite upgrade in the aesthetics department. It looks like something out of Star Trek. While not as ergonomically designed as some other models and even the older Remingtons, it looks good, especially in the cleaning base. The power button is much improved from the rubber button on the older models, it's plastic so it will never be hard to turn on and won't wear away with use. The power indicator is also very sleek, with colored lights down the side. The comfort selector didn't make much of a difference for me, I tried it on both settings and didn't get any irritation. But, that might be because I've used their shavers for so long. The shave seems standard for an electric even on the closest setting, not too great but not too bad.
The top pops open for washable cleaning without the cleaning base, and it's really easy to do. But, the reason you are getting this model is for the cleaning base, so I'll talk about that. It's improved and regressed a bit from the previous version. A problem with the old one was that to clean the unit you had to plug it in everyday and let the cleaning cycle run for 20 minutes. While it was in the base it was always plugged in. Not letting the shaver use out it's charge is not good for battery life. The R-1000 meanwhile has a charging point that pushes down, and the cleaning cycle only lasts 2 minutes. So when it is done you can pop it back up.
The shorter clean cycle does not necessarily mean it's not cleaning as well as the older one. The old one would run the shaver with fluid for a minute, let it sit for a minute, then run for a minute without fluid to get it out of the shaver, and then it would fan dry for 15 minutes. This new one runs with fluid for a minute and then without for another minute. It has no fan, and therefore just airdries after. I've only had it a day, so I can't speak to the paint peeling issues spoken about in other reviews, but it seems like that might be a problem due to this. I used their old model on the clean cycle everyday for 3 years and never had any peeling issues. I'll update the review with comments as I experience any problems.
It also comes with a travel bag and a cord that can plug directly into the shaver. The replacement filter and solution can be bought at Wal-Mart and Target for 5 bucks. It usually lasts about a month if run everyday. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, it's a good shaver in look and functionality.
UPDATE: After about 3 months of use, the paint is indeed peeling off the top of the shaver and the sides due to the cleaning solution. While a good shaver in function, this horrible decision by the company to use paint susceptible to this type of problem is pretty inexcusable. Probably why their new line of shavers that came out last month doesn't include a self-cleaning model. I would change my score to 1 or 2 stars, but it won't let me. I'd avoid this shaver due to this pretty big issue.

I wouldn't have thought to buy a self-cleaning razor for myself, but I now appreciate that I received this as a gift last Christmas. I've been using it for over a year now, and really like it. I have sensitive skin and this shaver allows me to adjust to my comfort level. It gives a really close shave for being an electric shaver. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

UPDATE 9 MONTHS LATER:
Well, I took the head off and removed and replaced the cutters and the razor started working correctly. Over the last 3 months it has been working fine, just like new. Soooo... I have decided not to place a warranty claim. I like this razor.
UPDATE 6 MONTHS LATER:
Unit started making funny, grinding sound... not too bad, but not normal. Then it started to slow down and really did a number on my face, I felt like I had a bad sunburn. I called Remington and this is discontinued, as are all of the Powerclean units. They said they would replace it with a different model.
==============
I picked this up primarily because of the price. I needed to replace the cutters and foil on my Panasonic Linear and it was cheaper to buy the R-1000. At first I thought it was a little harsh on my skin, but I think it's because I was fooled by how quiet it was, I guess I thought I needed to push down harder than I needed to. After using it for 6 months I can now say that it shaves faster, closer and better than the panny. For the $$ this is a very good shaver.

 Remmington cleaner solution May 9, 2010
Richard Noll (new jersey, usa)
Delivered promptly, in fact ahead a schedule. I needed the soloution as I was all out of if. Thank God it came when it did. This is for the base of my R-1000 Remmington shaver, a cleaning solution. The best hver I ever owned.
