I thought it was uncomfortable to use and extended my shaving time.

The razor was uncomfortable for me to use, maybe I was to use to your standard razor. After three weeks I returned it and bought a AT880. It is much easier to use and gives me a better shave.
With my old Norelco I had to use a Gillette Atra Razor to get a close shave on my neck. With the new one, there is no need to use a regular razor for my neck. The new one works fine.
Pros: shaves my head really close
Cons: i accidentally hit the power switch while shaving
The 9000 series truly gives a much closer shave than the AT880. Often consumers such as myself become disbelieving when better and closer are used to describe a more expensive device. I was unsure if a higher price tag would equate to a closer shave but it has. Certainly, sharp clean blades are a major contributing factor and this has those components. I found the new shave more comfortable, providing a much closer shave meaning I look better longer; a worthy expenditure.
Excellent product. Easy to use and to clean. Perfect high end shaver for those who do not wish to bother with all those cleaning devices and solutions.
I have been using an electric razor since 1966 and have used at least 2 different brands and several different levels of quality. This model far surpasses any razor I have used. I have never purchased the top of the line and hesitated to do so this time, but I'm glad I did. This model is well worth the purchase price. Some models I have used in the past have required a touch up with a standard safety razor when a really close shave was wanted, Not so with this model. A truly great shave.
