The last Norelco shaver I had for over 40 years. The battery went dead. There so many models to choose from. I thought I picked a good one. It will not shave close (I have a very light beard groth) It seems to take forever if you want a smooth shave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor quality

After 2 months it started separating, letting water into the body of the unit. I have been using Norelco razors for 50 years and I would have to say that the quality has gone way down the past 10 years. The shaves have gotten worse as they come up with new designs. When this dies, I will switch to Braun. Good customer support though.
Pros: looks nice
Cons: great customer service
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High priced for such a lousy shave, I spend twice as much time with your razor compared to a blade with unsatisfactory results. The stand is about as cheap as it could be, pretty close to useless I would prefer to plug directly into the razor than try to perform the balancing act with the P.O.S stand
This razor is a disaster. First you have to change the head to use a trimmer. It is difficult to take aprt to clean and more difficult to put back together. If you press to hard whil;e shaving the head will pop off. After a month I ordered a traditional Norelco for 1/2 the price and it works like a gem.
Pros: none none oh wait it does look pretty
Cons: the razor, the use, the cleaning, the handlind
This shaver does an excellent job and is easy to use with severe arthritis!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cost vs Performance
on June 18, 2012

I have been a user of Norelco shavers for over 50 years and this model is the poorest performer of all. The unit is expensive and just doesn't provide a decent shave. It takes me twice as long compared to the lower cost model. Having to remove the shaver head and attach the trimmer is the worst design possible. Overall, poor performance, extremely high cost, and poor design. I will be sending my previous model to Norelco to have the hinge replaced and I will use that model.
Floating heads are nice -- - but would have liked the Sideburn shaver to be built into the shaver - rather than having to removed heads and install that part -
Pros: gives good smooth shave
Cons: the nose shaver portion has poor cutter, annoying to have to constantly remove shaving head, head cover constantly pulls shaving heads off when
