I have always been troubled with sensitive skin with irritation following shaving but shaving with the Power Touch and a shaving gel, I get an irritation free and close shave. I really enjoy using it.
This is my third Norelco shaver. The first was corded, the second a cordless model. The cordless model worked well for ten years; the corded model, which is twenty years old, still works, and I keep it as a backup.
The new PowerTouch AT880 is an improvement over the previous two models. It produces a closer shave, and is gentle on the skin. I like the charger unit. The shaver is very easy to clean.
Have used Norelco Shavers for many years (I am 68). This is the first one the accessories seemed cheap. The charger is like a flimsy one you might get from an inexpensive toy. The shaver stand and charger combo is not a good fit. I am using my old shaver stand. It does an excellent job of shaving and recharges quickly, feels good ergonomically. Dave
I've switched from a regular razor because my face feels better with this electric. It's very lightweight and comfortable to use and a good package to take on travels.
I could easily use all the descriptive adjectives to writing a review. Some of them would be compact to travel without a chord, confortable, smooth shaving (wet or dry).This product easily outpreforms every other razor That I have used over the years.
I was surprised from the moment that I turned it on! It was so much quieter than my previous Norelco shavers! I still prefer the closeness of a blade shave, but this is the best electric shave I have experienced! The abliity to clean it up by running hot water through the blades is a real plus...no more banging/blowing out the cuttings! I love the new cutting head design...the combination slots and holes really allows for close trimming around the sideburns and mustache. I thought I was just replacing an old worn out razor, but this has proved to be a whole new shaving experience...quick and convenient! So far I love it!!!
Pros: hot water/air dry clean up, close trimming, quiet operation, infrequent charging
This unit is quieter than my previous units and still does an excellent job on my whiskers. The battery seems to hold a charge longer than my previous units also.
Pros: quiet running, long-lasting battery, nice close shave
