My new Model 3100 shaves closer and misses fewer spots than the 7810XL did, and therefore shaves a bit closer. That was surprising to me, because the 3100 uses the same HQ8 replacement head kit that the 7810XL did. It doesn't irritate my face noticeably. (Neither did my 7810XL.) It's larger and more comfortable to hold than the 7810XL was, and runs quietly and smoothly.
The 3100 offers the same, convenient rinse-to-clean feature that the 7810XL did, and it also offers a 5-minute quick-charge that provides just enough runtime to finish off a shave. If you have an electrical outlet nearby, though, most users will probably find it more convenient to just plug the shaver in and run it from the cord.
The one feature that the 7810XL had that the 3100 lacks is the ability to fully charge in just about an hour; the 3100 requires about 8 hours for a full charge. However, since I can run the shaver for as long as I need by plugging it in, this hasn't been a problem for me.
I can't really compare the performance if my new Philips/Norelco 3100 to micro-screen models, because it's been years since I had a micro-screen shaver. My last one was a Remington model that was decidedly rougher on my skin than my last two shavers, although it did shaver closer than my old 7810XL.
Pros: close comfortable shave, nice pop up trimmer that runs well

I have been using electric shavers for many years and have tried other brands. The Norelco is an excellent product. It's ergonomical design fits my hand comfortably and the heads give me a reasonably close shave (better than most of the others). Just remember when purchasing any electric shaver that none of them will shave quite as close as a blade does. The only negative I have is the lack of a charge indicator. I'm still using the initial charge after two weeks of daily use and I'm just waiting for it to conk out. The only complaint I have is the price of the replacement heads. Two sets of heads will set you back more than the price of a new shaver. Shame on Philips.
Pros: does a decent job
Cons: lacks charge indicater

I never thought I would get a close shave with this shaver but how wrong I was. Phillips Norelco I believe gives you the ultimate shave.

After a lifetime of shaving I decided to try an electric razor. I researched many models and types. I also used a Norelco model that my son uses. I have now beeen using this razor for about a month.
PROs:
The batttery charge lasts for over a month
If the batttery is weak or low you can use it while plugged in.
Gives a fairly smooth shave quickly.
Easy to clean
CONs:
Shave is not as close as a razor with brush and lather
Neck hair are difficult to shave

Net is that I am not going back to a conventional razor. I also feel that I am being more environmentally responsible-- no cartridges to be thrown on a regular basis
Pros: battery charge lasts over 30 days, can be used while battery is being charged, fairly smooth shave, easy to clean
Cons: shave not as close as with razor and lather, neck hair difficult to trim
