Rank #4 in Best Electric Shavers for Women: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Rows That Don't Add Up
Remington WDF4840 Lady Shaver, Wet & Dry, 30-Min Use
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Remington WDF4840 is a cordless wet-and-dry foil shaver: two hypoallergenic floating heads, an intercept trimmer, a bikini trimming comb attachment and a charging stand. It sits at number 4 in this guide at £29.55, with 4.3 out of 5 from 11,744 ratings and a category rank of 6th in Women's Electric Shavers.
Its spec table is mostly consistent, which is what makes one row stand out. The battery row reads 30 minutes and the product name says 30-Min Use — the two agree, so there is no 60x gap here. The weight row does not agree with anything: Item Weight is given as 0.28 g. Nothing hand-held weighs a fraction of a gram, and the listing offers no second weight figure to compare it against. Treat the battery figure and the ranked position as the reliable numbers on this page, and the weight row as a typo you can ignore. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really happy with this electric shaver. It's lightweight, comfortable to hold and easy to use, especially in the shower. I like that it's rechargeable and can be used wet or dry, which makes it really convenient. The bikini attachment is useful for more precise areas, and the moisturising strip is a nice touch. It comes with everything needed, including a pouch and cleaning brush. Overall, a handy and practical shaver for everyday use.”
Verified purchase“Brilliant!I had done a lot of research on the "best" lady shaver, and this one didn't even appear on the list. The expensive ninety pounds one came up as "best" but reviews were a little mixed as it didn't give a close shave.Well I decided to go for this one which was one of the cheapest I could find, and it does such a smooth shave that it's like I've used a razor in the shower!Absolutely brilliant.”
