The blade, the guard, and the last two millimetres · review
The clipper with the longest accessory list of this lot: ten guards covering 3 to 40 mm, an aluminium case, scissors, a comb, a neck brush and a cutting cape, around self-sharpening ceramic blades and a stated 50 minutes of cordless runtime.
The bottom line The most complete box of the four, and the widest guard range — the clipper to start with rather than the one to keep forever.
Ten guards, a 0.8 to 2 mm precision setting on the head, and an aluminium case containing scissors, a comb, a neck brush and a cutting cape. Remington publishes 50 minutes of cordless runtime against a 90-minute charge, and the machine also runs on the mains.
The guard range is the argument. Three to forty millimetres in ten steps covers everything from a short back and sides to a full length trim, and the separate blade adjustment reaches below where the guards start. That is the specification that decides whether a clipper can blend, and it is the one most listings bury.
What the listing does not give is an IP rating. Remington describes the blades as self-sharpening ceramic, which is a claim about the cutting edges rather than about washing, so this page cannot tell you whether the head goes under a tap. The manual for your unit can.

It changes the blade position itself rather than the distance a guard holds. Guards on this model start at 3 mm, so the shortest lengths — the ones used at the neckline and around the ears — are reached by moving the blade, not by fitting a smaller comb.
Remington describes the blades as self-sharpening; it does not say that they need no oil. Self-sharpening describes how the cutting edges wear against each other, which is a separate question from friction. The manual that comes with the machine is the authority on its maintenance schedule.
Linear motor · X-taper 2.0 blade · carbon-titanium coating · 6 markets
A professional-tier clipper built around a linear motor that Panasonic states holds its cutting speed regardless of hair density, and an X-taper 2.0 blade with a diamond-like carbon coating. The most expensive machine in this lot by a wide margin.
Best for: Cutting hair often, or cutting thick hair, where a motor that stalls is the reason to replace a machine.

A zoom wheel that sets 28 lengths between 0.5 and 28 mm without changing anything on the head, a comb designed so cut hair does not clog it, and a body Philips describes as completely washable.
