Great product. Limited only by the not so close shaving head.

The best feature is the convenience in cleaning under running tap water Design makes this razor easy to handle. Trimmer is an excellent tool. Only drawback is in getting a close shave.
I hadn't had a new razor in a while, but always have had Norelco. My wife bought me this one, and it performs beautifully. I didn't realize just how dull my old one was until I got this one. It cuts clean and fast, and the 40 minute battery life is enough for 5 weeks shaving for me. Well done, again.
I wish I had purchased the corded one for alot cheaper. I like the fact I can shave with a wet face but I do not like the cordless feature like I thought I would. It does not seem as powerful as corded models. It doesn't have an off switch for traveling. I would rather be able to plug it in anywhere to shave because I'm not an "in the car on the way to work shaver".
I bought this shaver for my dad who is a long-time Philips user. I bought it based on customer reviews and the reasonable price, however, it does not work. It powers on, the heads move but the number of times he has to go over his face to actually shave is unacceptable. We have retrieved his older shaver from the garbage and will be using it instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
