Takes forever, weak, and over engineered. Not to mention the app is unnecessary and clearly exists to harvest data.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this one to replace the same model I had for years, but this one may be a lemon. The blade set as a hard time closing The battery does not seem to remain charged as long as the previous one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to return my first purchase of this item because after a few usages the razors would shut off several times until I just had to start it over several times before it would reset? The shave was good when it worked!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that you had to return your first shaver due to it shutting off repeatedly after only a few uses. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product performs well at times but then becomes unreliable during regular use.
This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’d like to look into this further and see how we can help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver works extremely well. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the charging station is not quite solid enough. It is too easy for the shaver to tip over while charging.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] is the best shaver I ever owned? and recommended to All my family friends on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was reluctant to try an electric shaver as my past experiences have not been good. However, I've been blown away with the quality and ease of shave with the 8000. I shave my head and now I get a very close shave in less than half the time with a razor.
