About
What it is.
The MB4700 belongs to Remington's line of motorized-comb beard trimmers, built for men who shape and maintain beard and mustache length as a regular grooming routine. Its comb travels in fine increments across a wide range, giving a spread of length settings controlled through a digital touch screen rather than mechanical clicks or dials.
Two features define its role: a memory function that restores the last-used setting on power-up, and Auto Turbo, which reads facial hair thickness and adjusts trimming speed in response. Both aim at repeatable, consistent results for a signature look rather than one-off trims. The unit runs cordless on a rechargeable lithium battery or corded when plugged in, and the whole head is washable for upkeep between uses.
The verdict
The Remington MB4700 ranks #20 among beard trimmers, with buyers awarding it 4.4/5 stars and praising its elegant design and intuitive touch controls, though battery life and trimming power prove inconsistent for thicker beards.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What do buyers like most about this trimmer?
Buyers rate the design and ergonomics highest at 4.5/5, and they praise the elegant look, intuitive touch controls, and build quality. Owners also note that it's simple to use and gentle on skin, with easy cleaning.
What's the main weakness?
Battery life is the lowest-rated feature at 3.2/5, and trimming power divides buyers—some find it underpowered for thicker beards. One buyer reported the trimmer felt clunky and lacked sufficient power for their beard type.
Are the smart features actually useful?
Buyers are mixed on the smart functions, rating them 3.5/5. One owner found the memory feature unintuitive and the 0.1 mm length increments unnecessary. The lock feature also drew criticism for requiring power-off and unlock steps before each adjustment.
Who should buy this trimmer?
It works best for people with lighter to medium beards who value a well-designed, easy-to-use trimmer. Those with thicker beards or who need strong cutting power should consider whether the trimming performance meets their needs.
How does it handle daily use?
Buyers confirm it's reliable for regular grooming—cleaning is straightforward and the trimmer is ready to use again right after. Long-term durability looks solid based on build quality ratings of 4.2/5.
