[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For its reasonable price point, it gives a decent shave. If course, not as close as a razor, but pretty good. Easy to maintain and keeps a good charge. I’m glad it’s waterproof, also.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to replace my old Phillips electric razor so I purchased this one, which seemed similar to my old one. However there are two things I don’t like about the new razor. One, the charging chord requires a USB outlet. Who has a USB outlet in the bathroom? Very frustrating. So I used a USB adapter to plug it into the wall outlet. But it doesn’t let me use the shaver while it’s plugged in. My old razor did. So I have to wait until it’s charged before I can resume shaving. Not good when youre in a hurry in the morning.
Nice close shave in the neck area which I was looking for, but a little slow. I've wondered if a faster cutter speed would make shaving a little faster. I definitely like the razor and it's an incredible value, less than the price of just a hew head for my other razor.
I feel compelled to update my review based on new information. I had given a one star review based on battery not holding charge. After further research, I have found that chargers used for cell phones do not have enough capacity to charge this shaver. I think this may be because this shaver using NiMH battery whereas cell phones use Li-Ion battery. When I plugged the USB cable to my Desktop computer, it charged up properly. Unfortunately, this is not documented anywhere necessitating multiple warranty replacements.
Not totally satisfied. I get a good clean shave, but I do have a course beard and some hair is too thick to fit in the fine meshed head. I find that it looses some power soon after start and it only lasts for 2 or 3 shaves when fully charged. Also it is not very friendly on “sensitive” areas. I tried it once, and was full of small skin tears and rash like symptoms.
