I bought this razor to avoid the ever rising cost of replacement blades for my conventional razor. This shaver exceeded my expectations in every way. I got a smooth shave, the charge lasted longer than expected and all at a very reasonable price. Very pleased with this shaver!
Pros: high quality shave., charge lasted longer than expected., easy to clean., great price.
This product is awesome I've had other Norelco shavers and each time I get a new one they've been better than the one before I think I haven't had to charge it in 2 weeks and it really gives me a nice clean shave
I was looking for a good eletric shaver and a fair price. I am very satisfied with this Philips Norelco Sahver 3100. It is light, very esay to use. It works properly. The battery is good. I have been using it for 5 or 6 days with each charge. The design is fine, although is not the most modern model, but it was a excellent purchase for a good price. I truly recommend this product.
Pros: light, performance, battery, easy to clean it
I have always used Norelco. But the last I bought was kind of a letdown compared to earlier ones. But I wanted to try your new shavers and bought one about 5 months ago. What a pleasant difference!
Pros: close shave
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

First off, I'd like to mention that I received this item for free in exchange for a review. I had used continuously for several days in place of the standard 3-blade shaver that I had been using for the last few years. My usual problem spots are around the chin, neck and under the nose; with this shaver, hitting these areas for a clean shave was a breeze. The shaver operates very smoothly, glides great and is very easy to clean. It also does not leave any irritation, unlike some other electric shares I had tried in the past. The snap-out trimmer is a nice addition for a quick job on the sideburns. Overall, I am very happy with the Plilips shaver 3100, and will be switching to it 100% going forward.
Bottom line: This razor is an outstanding buy. It gives me a very close shave, and I've shaved about 15 times (so far) on my initial charge. I have a medium coarse beard, which is certainly a factor, and I don't use pre-shave oils or gels (but I could). I would definitely recommend giving it a try. See pros and cons section.
The details: My (very!!) old Norelco triple header finally stopped working, so I started the dreaded hunt for a replacement. The noise level of foil razors ruled them out for me, and my triple header experience led me to research current Norelco rotaries. First I researched the high end razors, but their cost and complexity were barriers to an impulse buy. I read several dozen reviews of those razors, and one triggered my looking into the rest of the Norelco line. The reviews for this product were outstanding, and the price and simplicity made buying it easy.
Pros: great value pricing, gives a close shave with minimal noise, good shape - easy to grip, light weight, easy to clean after a shave, can shave while plugged in (rare for a rotary!)
Cons: some rinse water passes thru (as noted in manual), no stand for drying (would be a nice accessory), no travel case (i use my old triple header case)
