I bought this great beard trimmer when it was posted here a month ago for £16.99.
It's not lithium or fast charge but without further charging straight out of the box it's had sufficient charge to give me 2-3 beard trims a week for the last 4 weeks. I finally put it on overnight charge last night.
The beauty of this is it will run straight off the mains charger so it's a 'no brainer' for me apart from it has a 3 pin plug so I can't use it in my bathroom shaver socket.
I read a lot of the Amazon reviews on other Remington's and other makes including Braun, Wahl and Philips. This came rated really highly and compared favorably to some at more than double the price point
It's versatile. The main trimmer has self lubricating, self sharpening ceramic blades.
The main beard comb has 9 position settings adjusted by a rotary wheel on the trimmer. That allows precision from 2mm to 18mm beard lengths in 2mm steps.
There is an additional stubble comb which I prefer for my short (not stubble) beard which has it own easy to use rotary wheel for beard/stubble lengths of 1 to 5mm (9 positions in 0.5mm increments).
There is also a nifty little pop out detail trimmer which I use to tidy up around the mouth and nose area (not a nasal trimmer! )
I have a fairly coarse beard and have had no problems such as blades dragging or the comb moving if I apply pressure.
The trimmer is light, easy to hold, with a soft touch grip and easy to take apart when cleaning.
Some people in Amazon reviews have complained that the on/off switch is a bit difficult to manoeuvre but personally I'd rather have one with a positive action than one which you could accidentally switch off whilst shaving as my old Philips.
9.5/10 from me anyway, even if it was double the price, which in fact it is on Amazon right now!
Just the 3 pin plug that irks me slightly.

This is the best beard trimmer I've used to date and I'm one of those douchebags with a 'fashion' beard.

If you read the reviews on Amazon you'll find a lot of people with battery problems across cheaper Remington models, me being one of them. In a year or so it was only usable when plugged in. I wouldn't get another.

Cold, 16 hour charge time for 40 min use. Remington is better than babyliss but phillips always the best from my experience of trying various products over the years.

I have this trimmer as well. I bought it as a cheap replacement for an istubble that my daughter dropped in the bath. 3 years later I still haven't replaced it. Certainly does the job nicely imo.

I bought the MB4110 when it was posted on hukd (18 months ago) and it was and still is an excellent bit of kit. Cosmetic differences I assume but would think the blades are the same or if not better.

Not a big risk in my opinion given the warranty + its easy for me personally to source solder tag batteries and solder another in. Had to do on Braun Oral B toothbrush which wasn't exactly cheap

How does this compare to the Remington MB320C?
Can anyone recommend a good trimmer that goes off the bathroom socket?
Thanks!

That's the one I had that I was talking about earlier. Liked it apart from the battery going to nothing very quickly, still worked from a wall if that's all you need. Don't remember the cord being very long for that though.
