I rate this shaver highly because it was inexpensive to buy, while giving close shaves. I'm enjoying not using a corded shaver. I was surprised how long I could go between charges. The amber charge warning light is also helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well price was a point of why I bought it. It doesn't get a very close shave. I find myself having to go over areas over and over again. Now I said price is why I purchased, it has become an expensive backup. I razer shaved for 35 years and wanted to try electric, well I am back to a razer. I would not recommend this electric shaver.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
