Great for the money
I wanted a cheap foil razor since I usually shave with a blade, mostly for travel. I believe different faces react differently to different razors. For me, after only 3 uses I am getting about as close of a shave that I did with a $90 Braun bought 10 years ago or so (since retired). Usually the razor will adjust to your face for a week or two until you get the closest shave. Yes, it's noisy, yes, I wish it had a plastic blade guard. It feels good in my hand, and I like the pivoting head. Great value overall.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

It's just not the real deal
The reason I bought this f7490 is because i had another one and it worked good for 6 years until I broke it... Whatever, the thing is that I got so used to it that if something is different it just sticks out. Well two things for sure: 1. The head is missing the springs in there, it's like a steering wheel not having the power steering 2. Gave me a lousy, half used brush that looks like an old tooth brush

A lot of shaver for a small price
I've never been able to find an electric shaver, for any amount of money, that shaves me as close as a blade but I keep trying. There are times or days where I can't blade shave and will settle for the convenience of an electric. This Remington, for under $22, shaves better than the $100 Norelco it replaced. I don't know how it will hold up but it works very well but still not as close a shave as a blade. The only negatives are its a loud razor and its a big razor. Battery life is terrific so far and the popup trimer works well as does the floating head.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

If the batteries are still working, buy this instead of a new shaver!
The batteries eventually failed on my first F4790 after a number of years of use, and during that time, I replaced the cutters with a similar product to this two times, so I used a total of 3 cutters on a single shaver. Replacement cutters may seem a little expensive when comparing them to the cost of a brand new shaver, but they're well worth the money, and it's less wasteful. The shaver works so well that a person doesn't realize that they should probably replace the cutters more often, because they do get dull. When you get a new set, it's like getting a brand new shaver, and then you realize that it takes only half the time to get the job done. One set I replaced was so dull (probably over 3 years old), that it eventually wore through the foil, but it was actually still working. I probably should replace the cutters with something like this every 1-2 years. The only flaw of the F4790 is that the foils can get damaged/dented easily while traveling, which causes the cutter to tear through the foil, so using the protective shield is critical. If you get careless, like I did once with my first F4790 and just now with my second F4790, if there's still good life in the batteries, replace the cutters with these. This is now my 3rd set of cutters for my second F4790, and the batteries are still running strong. The main reason for writing this review is that the last set of cutters that I bought was in the yellow/orange packaging, and even though they carry the Remington logo, they're either a knock-off or an old version, because the plastic housing that held the foils was made from a slightly different shaped mold, which didn't lock in as tightly, so it would pop loose while using it every couple of days. It functioned OK, but it was very annoying, having to keep snapping it back in. Before buying this one in the blue packaging, I was hesitant, because I was worried that the tab on my shaver may have been worn, but this new one snapped in tight. This one in the blue packaging is the real deal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great value on a great shaver.
This is an excellent value and a great shaver. This shaver gives me one of the closests and most comfortable shaves I have had. I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the fact that it did not come with a screen guard which leaves the shaving screen vulnerable when storing or charging.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does a close shave.
This repack Remington is a good value. I like that it is rechargeable. No need to buy batteries all the time. Also get a fair amount of shaves between charges. The shaver is well designed and is of good quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

High quality shaver
Heavy duty razor. It gives a good, close shave. I am very happy with it. The only downside is that the parts on each end of the shaving surface protrude slightly and rub into your skin while shaving. I have a Braun shaver that is more comfortable, but it doesn't shave as close.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Multi-functionality
I do not understand why this model was discontinued by Remington. This is my third unit in almost 20 years (broke last one by dropping it, and the first one battery failed after about 10 years) and I can tell you that it does everything well. Better than the rotary, including the 5 head unit, FOR SHAVING HEADS and getting blade smooth. I must admit that it does take bit of back and forth and around in circles to get best shave. But then that's what the instructions say as well. And the popup trimmer is the best version. Much better and more useful than the side mount. The best way to trim long hairs is to popup the trimmer and run it in front of the dual foil head. Will cleanly shave even a weeks growth on face and head. And you can clean it under the faucet by pulling of detachable foil head and using supplied brush to clean out the stubble. Does not clean well by just sticking it under running water. If this one fails, I hope there are still more refurbished units available as I'd replace it in a heartbeat.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

My Remington F4790 gives a close smooth shave. I have been shaving a week and a half and the battery is showing no loss of power.
I think it is a great shaver it dose a great job. I will tail my friends it is a great deal. If like electric shavers and thinking about getting a new one the F4790 is a great choice. If you are getting your first electric shaver try the F4790 you want ever use a blade again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Better Than Expected
The battery in my old F3900 had gotten to a point that it would barely start the razor so I was on a mission to find a replacement. The F4790 seemed to be a nice step up with some nicer features like a longer run-time battery and a quick charge feature. The pop-up trimmer on this model has been re-designed and improved, as well. The actual shave is clean, close and on par with the F3900 which did an excellent job. Bottom line: This is an excellent shaver for a modest price and I recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished
