The Shaver works as advertised. I would have liked a charging base instead of just the charger cord. LED indicator should stay lit when fully charged.
Pros: good design
Cons: needs charging base, needs fully charged light to stay lit
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would not hold a charge or run. I have two older norelcos. The oldest one went nearly two months without charging. Just don't make them like they used to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from philips.comBy Philips Consumer Care, May 18, 2020
Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with the Norelco Shaver 4400. It's good to hear that you're keen on the performance of the device, but it's regrettable that it will no longer charge or turn on. If charging it for 2 hours via different sockets via the original charger does not make a difference, then please feel free to get in touch via social media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (@Philips) and Twitter (@PhilipsCare). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further. Wishing you a good week. Kind regards, Philips Consumer Care

Loved the shaver while it worked. Heads stopped shaving in 4 months and not even used everyday. Heads not covered under warranty. New heads half of razor cost w/o shipping! Not a good return. Frustrating!!
Cons: didnt perform long term
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just quit working

I have had this razor for about 9 months. Used it two days ago and went to use it today and will not run. Battery is not low and it is clean. Don't know what happen or why it just wont' turn on. I tried to do what I thought may be a travel lock to unlock it but that did not work either. Very disappointed. Was going to return it but I am unable to locate my receipt. Means I will have to purchase another razor. Recharging the battery does nothing. Always worked great before today.

Took a charge and did a good job. Then I tried to charge it and it would not charge up. I have used Norelco razors for over 40 years .This is the first I have had trouble with. The blades fit my old razor, so not a complete loss. You make a good dependable product, but this one did not hold up
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my third or fourth Norelco. After using this shaver for a few months, the closeness of shave has fallen from very good to maybe average. A tab has broken on the plastic dust cover making it fall off. A travel case is not provided. I use my previous shaver's case to protect it between shaves. The AC charger is cheaply made. The last Norelco cord, was heaver gauge and coiled making it easy to store. Because of these shortcomings, I will be looking to another brand shaver for my next purchase.
Cons: no case, cheaply made, poor quality charger, cutter heads dull after 3 months use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best shaver I've ever owned

I previously had a Braun series 3, but since my hair grows in so many directions, I had to make multiple passes over many areas of my face. I returned it and tried the AT830, my first rotary shaver. At first I was concerned about the lift & cut feature, since I'm prone to ingrown hairs but so far I haven't had any problems. This shaver gets almost all the hairs in a single pass! There are only a few areas of my face that I have to go over again and the second time gets it done. I did some research on an electric shaver forum and read the manual before I bought it. The key is to use slow circular movements and use a VERY light touch to let the lift & cut do its job. My shave only takes about 5 or 6 minutes vs 10-12 minutes with the Braun. As far as the wet shave feature, I prefer dry shaving but I tried it once and didn't get a very good shave, it missed more hairs because it just glided over them but you may get better results...some people swear by wet shaving. I paid extra for this model not because it's a wet/dry shaver but because it has a pivoting head and a 1 hour charging time. If you are planning on buying this shaver here are some tips:
1. Use it exclusively for at least 3 weeks and don't use any other shaver or razor. It takes time for your beard and face to adapt to a new shaver, especially if you are used to blade shaving. This is not a marketing trick it is a fact.
2. Wash your face first preferably with an oil removing glycerine soap like Neutrogena and let it completely dry for 15 minutes.
2. Use VERY light pressure, harder pressure will only irritate your skin and not give you a closer shave.
3. Wash the shaver after every shave.
4. Electric shavers are a very personal thing. One shaver may work great for one person but not good at all for another. The key is finding which shaver is right for YOU. You will eventually discover weather s rotary or foil is suited for your face, and even which brand works best for you. All electric shaver company offer a money back guarantee ranging form 30-60 days so don't be afraid to try several types. Patience is a must.
5. It may seem like a lot of work, but once you find which shaver works for you it will be worth it!
Soon I will post a video review on youtube soon review so keep an eye out!
Pros: fast shave (5-6 minutes), consistent shave, great battery life and it win't overcharge, gets most hairs with a single pass
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

easy to hold, glides on skin, easy to clean.
What more could you ask for ?
When I first got this I had my doubts about electric razors, but after using it for four months I an very happy with the razor.
Gives a good shave, its easy to clean, and best of all no problems.
