I read a number of reviews on this product before buying. I had been planning to do so for almost a year and I am glad I finally did. I owned the SpeedXL which I love. Out of curiosity, I decided to go back to the old one (which has new shavers). It felt so different and did not perform as well! I went right back to SenorTouch 3D. Once you start using it, you will never go back! I am going to be using this for a long time!!
Beautiful to look at. Shaves very well. But when compared to the Norelco AT models, it's not as easy to hold, not as easy to maneuver, not as easy to clean, has a trimmer that's narrower in width, and can only be charged in the stand. Finally, I don't think it shaves any closer or more smoothly than any of the less expensive Norelco AT razors I've used.
Pros: beautiful to look at, shaves very well, charges quickly
Cons: trimmer width too narrow, must use stand to charge
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great performance and usability

This product is the best electric razor I've had! Its Sensotouch 3D system is great and provides a very good shaving experience. My skin doesn't irritate as with other products and provides the closest shave. Also it is great that you can use it in the shower and with shaving foam. Afterwards you can clean it really easy.
Pros: very close shaving, great battery duration, not noisy
Works great, Looks great! very happy with this shaver ;-)
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been shaving with Norelco shavers since the 1970's and this is by far the best one yet! Ease of use and cleaning has far surpassed my expectations and it shaves my tough beard easily and quickly!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good trimmer, not so good triple head.

Have had a few of your shavers in the past and always felt that the shaver head did a great job but I felt that the trimmers were not very good. With this new shaver it is just the opposite. For the first time the trimmer is great, but from the first time I used it the triple head does a poor job. I have to go over the same area several extra times to get a decent shave and it takes about twice as long as with previous of your company. I am glad that you made the trimmer much better but wish your triple head was still as good as others I have had. I have had so many good ones in the past I think I would still get another when I need one
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stopped working after about 30 shaves

This was an adequate shaver for the first six months of using it (for a total of about 50 times), as long as I went over and over the areas under my ears and jawbone, but then it just stopped working. It turns on, but it doesn't shave. I maintained it and cleaned it religiously, so I don't know what to say, except this was a ridiculously expensive shaver to rent for a few months' barely satisfactory use. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Cons: insufficient cutting of difficult to reach areas;, stopped working after a few months, difficult to clean, way overpriced
