I shouldn't buy it again.

I bought the first one and try it for a couple of weeks. I wasn't satisfied as the older model. So, I returned it for a full refund. In 2016 I had to redeem my "airmiles" (an other rip off loyalty company) before they expired. I choose this shaver again. The clean machine stopped working after a year or so. The head is noisy. The rubber under the head where it attaches to the handle fell off and couldn't put it back. It was good warranty. They replace the cleaning machine and send me a new handle. But, still it is noisy when shaving and does not shave clean as my older model.
Pros: easy to handle in your hand.
Cons: noisy sound like metal grinding., rough on the face., does not chave as close as it should.
I have been using Philishavers for 59 years now and this is the best ever. The battery is said to last 1 hour of shaving but I have had my razor for more than a month and only have to charge it. Also I have been in the habit of using razor shavers for special occasions so I will have a better shave and now I only need this one. Best shave in my life.
My old Norelco was nearly 30 years old and running a little rough. So I chose another Norelco. It shaves beautifully. Very close and fast. I have a very heavy beard but only have to charge it about once a month even though I shave every day.
The shaver does everything it's supposed to do. I can get a close, clean shave even after three days. The blades are comfortable and don't pinch or pull my skin. And care and cleaning is easy using the SmartClean system. (You can use it everyday, but I was told once each month would suffice, as long as I cleaned the shaving heads after each use.) The price is high, I acknowledge, but I definitely believe I will get my money's worth in the long run.
I am getting the best shave of my life with this shaver nad that includes blades I ahve used in the past. I use the shaver wet. The SmartClean system is wonderful and keeps the shaver nice and clean as well as lubricated. Looking forward to many years of excellent performance.
This replaced a similar model that was 7-8 years old. The shaves with the new model are noticeably closer than I ever had with the previous model. Visual indication of how much charge is left is a very nice addition. Only complaint - it should have included a charging stand so it could look good while charging, rather than laying down plugged directly into a cord. At least, it should have had the contacts that woukld allow it to fit in the same charging stand that the previous (same sized) shaver used.
I've tried several men's and women's electric shavers over the years. Men's always were more effective on leg and face hair for me. This one is the best ever even though I'm female. Does a terrific job with comfort and effectiveness on both legs and face. Gets rids of hair faster than anything before. Love, love it!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned Noreco shavers since I was 14 and I turn 65 next month. Never been disappointed in all the shavers over the years beats everyone hands down. Finally put the power cord on both the shaver and the cleaning station love it. Always a close shave.
