I have had a lot of razors both electric and not but I finally found one that actually lives up to the expectations/hype. Anything less than this model just doesn't work well with my beard. It cleans very easily.
Pros: the battery really lasts before recharging, very light in weight for airline transportation
Very poor design on the Senso touch. There's no internal storage for stubble, so the razor has to be cleaned & washed after every use. Not only inconvenient & time consuming, but razor has no time to dry out from being rinsed every day. Water runs into the palm of your hand from the razor while shaving! No battery meter on this one. You have no idea where the battery charge is at, until the 5 min. left light comes on. At that point, too late to recharge for that shave! No pop up trimmer here either. The head has to be removed & replaced with the trimmer head. Guess I won't be doing much trimming! How long will this razor last, snapping & popping the trimmer on & off all the time. I had to keep my old razor just so I could have a trimmer. All in all, not happy with this one. Very poor design, & inconvenient. The old XL design was much better thought-out, where it only had to be cleaned once a week, had a pop-up trimmer, & a battery guage. What a novel idea!
I love the close shave I get with the Phillips Norelco SensoTouch 150X. I like the design of the 3 shaver heads that rotate with the shape of your body. I am female and use it on my arms and for facial hair. The only issue I have is when I remove the head for cleaning the blades seems to spill out. I love the contour of the shaver, ease of use and the way it holds a charge too. I definitely would purchase another Norelco shaver.
Pros: close shave shape charging
Cons: not easy to open the shaver for cleaning the heads
inconvenient, not up to standards of a norelco shave

interchangeable heads, not a good idea, thought shaving in the shower would be a good idea, couldn't afford the water bill with such a poor slow shave . .had 3 norelcos for many years thought if I pay this much more it would be a great product .. not so . . hard to clean, fell apart, poor instructions, who wants to change heads to get a stray hair, you had it right why change . . . also seems to take longer to shave than my 10 year old one did
This is the 2nd Phillips Norel.co Shaver I've owned and I am very impressed with it. I shave dry and it gives a smooth, close shave. I am never going back to disposable razors and shaving cream. This product is fantastic and also easy to clean and maintain! I highly recommend it
I would recommend this to a friend!

The plastic head guide is in bad need of change. Either redesign it or use a heavier guage plastic. I just ordered two more of them. I have had two break with ease.
The printing on the back of the shaver is not readable. Either fix it or remove it.
