A smooth shaver that is close as one can get without a blade. The latest blades are very smooth and there was a great effort to improve the rotary experience.
My current Norelco shaver was getting hard to find new shaving heads for so I opted to purchase the 9700 as a replacement. I am sure glad I did. The shave it provides is great, and I love that it has a charging and cleaning unit with it. That way it is always clean and charged for the next shave. To make the solution lasts a little longer, I do remove the shaver heads and brush out some of the excess hair before cleaning that way the solution may last a little longer, but who knows. Overall this is an awesome shaving system and would highly recommend.
Pros: great consistent shave., cleanins and charged for next shave., great floating head for close shave
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Shaver I have had yet!

I have been using Norelco flagship model shavers for 35 plus years, I first purchased the Flagship Norelco Rototract shaver in the mid 80's and it shaved really great. I have continued to purchase the more recent Flagship models since then. When I purchased this model, the Norelco 9700 series Flagship model, I have been nothing short of impressed by the fast close shave it gives me and the use of cleaning and maintaining it. This is without a doubt the best Norelco I've had yet!
Pros: very comfortable shave and easy to maintain.
Cons: trimmer not attached to shaver but works well.
I was having problem with one of my unit would not stay in. I was sent that orange ring; i was sent one of the razor section, and it seems that nothing was working. They sent me a whole head and now it perfect again! I still have not figured out what was wrong with my old one, but I was so thankful that they sent what i needed!
Pros: this company took care of me!, they do really care about their product!
The shaver cuts really close. Best shave I have ever got, but the cutters fall apart.

If they could make the blade portion more sturdy and easier to clean this would be a much better shaver. The blades full very fast. I have only had it for two months before problems arose. I give it three stars because the company was willing to replace the heads without me purchasing another set.
Absolutely the best electric razor I've ever owned.

It runs so quiet, yet it gives me the closest share I've ever got from an electric razor. I also like the cleaning system, which keeps the razor like new. It wasn't cheap, but if you want quality, like me, sometimes you have to pay for it.
It does a good job. Per instructions, I rinse it after every shave and I make sure to rotate the heads when I put it back together to dry. After I charge the battery I run it through the cleaning system. I'm very happy with it.
