The material used does not clean as well as previous model.
The charge light no longer works after one year of use.
Pros: shave result is very good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is by the far one of the best electric shavers I have ever used since Remington I would recommend this shaver to anyone looking for a smooth shave and longer lasting shave. It takes me 7 days again before my beard is full for me to shave again again as apose to shaving with conventional razors which I have to shave every 3 days
Pros: closest shave and performance, has to recharge after one to two shaves
the design could be better, the button where you turn on is hard to notice because its black thru out that area does not stand out to know where to press on. Also the button to open the the heads to wash and clean is slightly hard to use and open, you would think you can design a better ergonomically button to use and open. Plus the triangle shape of each round heads I feel could be better designed somehow I almost feel like you miss areas very easy if you dont shave or move the shaver thru out your face properly especially around your upper lip area, you really have to go over your face so that you dont miss any areas to properly shave right. The stand to charge is not easy to stand and set the shaver on that to could be better designed to be easier you really have make sure its set on right to make sure its charging otherwise it might not be set on and wont charge. Needs to be better ergonomically better for sure. Otherwise its good in the shaving part in the shower could be excellant.
It was time for me to replace my trusty old Philips Norelco after 8 years and I was curious to see how technology may have improved. It certainly has - this razor is quieter and shaves quicker and closer than its predecessor. I couldn't be more pleased.
Shaves well/close, is quiet, and battery appears to last decently between recharges. One complaint.....the shave head is too easily released during shaving if the release is touched inadvertaintly.
