I've had a lot of experience with electric shavers (20+ years) using several different brands and models. Before using this Remington, I was using a Panasonic ES8109 (about $180) for about a year. Before that, I had a Braun Syncro 7540 (about $150) for several years. Before that, I used several Remington dual foils. I was always happy with my Remingtons way back then, but I was lured away by the convenience of a self-cleaning shaver. Though this one isn't self-cleaning, Remington just might have won me back.Pros:*A close shave! I haven't had this close of a shave in years. It really is as close as a blade.*It's fast. I didn't think three foils would be that much faster than two, but I find myself choosing the Remington over my Panasonic morning after morning for the speed advantage alone. It really does take far fewer passes to get everything.*Holds a long charge. Since this Remington offers a quick shave, getting 10+ days out of one charge isn't a problem.*Can be used with the cord. This is a significant draw for me, because I tend to forget to plug my shaver in, and when I need it, I need it NOW, not after waiting for it to charge. Some shavers (such as my Panasonic) can only be used in battery mode. This is probably a safety feature so some dunce doesn't try to use it plugged in while taking a shower. The drawback to that is that if you forget to charge it, you'll have to wait. And once the batteries stop holding a charge (inevitable with all shavers), you've got nothing but a paperweight. I kept using my Braun with the cord for years after the battery conked out (buying a new shaver only when I temporarily misplaced the Braun during a trip). It's nice to know I'll have that option with this Remington.*The head assembly pivots very effectively and smoothly.*The trimmer, when popped up, is positioned conveniently (for my taste, anyway), adjacent to the foils. It feels very natural to use, and it works extremely well. I like my Panasonic, but I've never gotten used to the odd, almost perpendicular, placement of the trimmer.*Can be used wet or dry, and the head can be cleaned with liquid soap and water.Cons:*It's big, awkwardly shaped, and a little uncomfortable in the hand. Poor ergonomics.*It doesn't come with a travel bag.*It gives such a close shave, it leaves my skin feeling a little irritated. I remember now that I had a problem with my old Remingtons doing this (and I never "adjusted" to that). It's not a big deal (the price of a really close shave), but it's worth mentioning.*The foil-protector cap is a little difficult to get on and off.Overall, this is a fine, though imperfect, shaver. If I could give it four and a half stars, I would. I have three electric shavers available for my use now, and this is by far the cheapest. Yet it's the one I'll be reaching for tomorrow morning.

My experience with this shaver has been, for lack of a better word, inconsistent. As a result, I have waited about 5 weeks to post a review. When I first got the Remington F5790, I was quite impressed with its performance--even though its size and weight were somewhat more than I was used to. It quickly gave me a very close and clean shave. As I continued to use, it started to occasionally burn my skin so I decided I'd just try to be more careful. However, it was not long before the shaver started leaving nicks... It has now been my decision to go back to my previous shaver, Braun. Admittedly, shaving takes longer in the morning but at least I'm not running out the door with torn Kleenex corners stuck to my face.... I've seen numerous reviewers state that the shave is just not close enough for them. The only thing I can figure is that their beards must be quite a bit heavier than mine.

This is about the fifth electric shaver I've used in the past couple of years. Usually I prefer a regular razor, but I've gotten so lazy about shaving lately that I like to see some quicker options. Most of my previous shavers have been Norelco's, which use a completely different razor pattern. I'm not used to Remington Razors, but found that the blades on the F5790 gave me a much smoother shave than my Norelcos have been giving me. It almost felt as smooth as with a straight razor. The main reason I won't switch to the Remington though, is because it gave me an uncomfortable bit of razor burn a couple days later. Now I know that there is a period where your skin and face have to adjust when you start using an electric razor, but even after a solid 4 weeks of using it every day, my face was still getting burned.As far as the razor construction goes, I liked it a lot. The weight of the unit was just right and felt good in my hands. I did have a problem with the head of the razor, which has two plastic pieces that extend above the height of the blades on either side. It wasn't a big problem, but I could feel them as I shaved and was somewhat bothered by them. There really shouldn't be anything extending past the blades on an electric razor in my opinion. Battery life was very good. I let the razor run unattended and it lasted 2 hours, 17 minutes (just turned on, not being used). I also really liked cleanup with this razor. I think it's the first razor I've had where you could clean it wet or dry, which is a big plus to me.Overall, I normally would give it three stars, but I don't want to penalize it too much just because my skin couldn't get used to the blades. Everything else about it is great.
