[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver (and I have replaced it) is vastly underpowered. Even corded, it acts like it wants to die and I don't get as close as shave as an older corded shaver.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am mostly satisfied with this product. However, it did not come with a cleaning brush to help with clearing out collected clippings or a protective case. When my wife purchased a similar model of this brand for me several years ago, it included both of these. Furthermore, the charge lasts only about 40 minutes, per the company's own specification sheet included with it. It requires about two-to-four hours to recharge, but it lasts only about 40 minutes of use. That works out to about 4-8 days of use, if you shave once daily and use the shaver about 5-10 minutes per shave. Nevertheless, if you forget to recharge before it runs out of juice, it can be a real problem. The specs sheet also recommends replacing the shaving heads about once per year, so that's pretty good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am concerned with the electric cord. It does not stay attached, and several times it has just fallen off. I really don't understand this problem. Then, the plastic cap for the top of the shaver falls off easily.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this shaver and how close it shaves. Light weight and clean cutting. I don't get as many shaves per charge as my last Norelco but I do get a closer shave.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is satisfied with this razor except for the fact it doesn’t hold a charge for very long.
