my other Norelco lasted 5 yrs. it was heavier,sturdier.it was good.my new one is a cheaper if not only a lighter model.i also forgot to buy one with a trimmer on it.
I bought the cheapest Norelco that I could find to use while my 8240XL is repaired. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that this model has no trimmer. However, it shaves better than the 8240 was, and I'm hoping that the 8240 will be like new when it is returned.
i use blood thinners so i am not allowed to shave with a blade - i had never used an electric razor before so i was pleasantly surprised at how much i liked it !gives a close shave.
Never noticed until I got the product home that there was no trimmer attachment. I never bought an electric razor which did not have a trimmer for side burns, etc., so I was a bit surprised.
