Summary: Norelco Shave System
Comment: The razor is compact, quiet during operation as compared to other razors used and quite durable. I dropped it removing the charger (fell about 4 ft) and nothing broke or came loose and it's still working fine. It charges in less than 2 hours and has a compact carry case if you need to travel.
The razor provides a close, clean shave. After using a couple of weeks a slight rash appeared but easily cleared up and there have been no further problems so I don't think it was the razor that caused the problem. Overall, it's a great razor.

Summary: Worth the money
Comment: I was a razor guy mostly because I didn't want to sink $100 into this but after 2 weeks of ownership, I'm happy I finally did. The convenient of shaving dry is totally worth it. I can't compare this device to other electric shavers but compared to a razor it doesn't cut as close and can be more irritating on your skin but I'm getting used to it and am so far happy with this device and my purchase. If you're considering leaving your razor, I say go for it.

Summary: norelco shaver
Comment: Have been using various Norelco shavers for the past thirty years. Recently had to replace my shaver, and unfortunately tried another top brand. After two months of bad results I purchased another Norelco and have been extremely satisfied, especially on the neck area.

Summary: From a female POV: Decent but not mind-blowing
Comment: While I understand this shaver was designed for men, this review is from a woman's perspective. It was for my partner, but he didn't care for it, and despite my cajoling, refused to endure the 2 weeks recommended in the instructions for adjusting from blade to electric. I myself have used mens' Norelco shavers in the past, and I do like the flexibility of a tidy, dry shave, especially when traveling, but you never get as close a cut as with a blade razor, and this is no exception. It's handy to be able to shave in the car (not driving, of course), and it did a nice job on my legs (though my leg hair isn't very coarse), but was awful on my underarms. Aside from the rinse feature, which is nice, I didn't find any improvement in use or shave over the last norelco I bought 10 years ago. I do have to note that the moustache/beard trimmer is great for quick bangs touch-ups, but overall, I wouldn't recommend it for women.

Summary: Pretty good shaver
Comment: I rarely use an electric shaver, so I may not be the best to rate this as opposed to other shavers. However, I do grow facial hair and need it cut.... so, I can rate it from that aspect.
This razor did a very nice job at shaving. I've been using it for about a month now and I am liking it. It seems sharp even after a months use. Cleans easy enough with a rinse, occasional brushing out helps keep things running smooth also.
It has a nice fit in my hand which makes it easy to work with, having arthritis. And it does seem to follow the contour of my face well enough that I'm not having to go over a number of areas and having to change how I hold it. I like the fact of antimicrobial coating on the inside, where moisture and hair and dead skin collects. I just wonder how long it lasts.
All in all, I would say this is a good purchase and worth the money.
