Title: Nice concept, poor execution
Product review: The Remington R-9500 promises a self-cleaning feature using exclusive Remington cleaning fluid which needs to be replaced every month. This incurs an additional monthly cost of around $5. With the fluid comes a new filter. The filter does a good job catching the shaved stubble and must be replaced with the fluid.A major problem in the design is the impeller shaft that pumps the cleaning fluid from the reservoir to the cleaning area. I've had to replace the entire cleaning base three times because the impeller shaft becomes rusty and breaks off, rendering the cleaning feature unuseable.Gunk tends to build up in the shaving head and this needs to be disassembled regularly and cleaned by hand. If the self-cleaning feature worked as advertised, this shouldn't be necessary.I would not recommend buying this product.
