This razor does ok for everyday shaving, but is not so efficient for more than two days' growth. I have to go over and over to cut everything and still manage to leave some behind. I also do not like the fact that I have to change the head for trimming, and the trim attachment is not as effective as the pop-up trimmer on my older Norelco.
This is a great way to shave without getting all your skin irritated. For people with thin skin like me, this is a must if you need to shave every other day. It is not as effective or as quick as a razor, but the pros surely out-weighs the cons...I recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor engineering

This particular cordless shaver has been used just 3-4 weeks and I have had it for almost a year now. Yes, it does shave close but the shaver head keeps falling off everytime I use it! Its poor design has lead to this. I have another Norelco cordless and have had ZERO problems with it 4 years running. So, in short, if Philips changes the way the razor head is attached, it possibly would be a great product.
I just love it. Great Shaver. I had another one for several years without any problems.
Pros: works great
I would recommend this to a friend!

This shaver has a great design eith the floating shaver head. It really gives a close shave. The trimmer is wonderful for trimming my sideburns between haircuts. This product is well worth the price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife bought me a replacement for my third QUDRA ACTION razor. She purchased a Model 1180X razor thinking it would be better than the ones I have over the last 15+ years. The older razors served me well. I lost one and need a battery one. The QUDRA razor features that are superior to the new Mod 1180X. The trimmer is attached easy to loss or miss place, the fixed floating tri-blades actually follow my face better, this gives a better and quicker shave. it can be cleaned quicker. The shape of the QUDRA is hander can be dropped in a travel kit and not get tangled in other items. The increase in price does increase the Mod. 1180X value and utility over the QUDRAs.
Does not cut some small hair area's close to nostrils. The rotating heads are too well shrouded by the plastic moulding. My old Phillips 8750XL does a better job there.
Pros: sleek design, after charge runs for several days
Cons: edge trimmer separate.prefer it be part of shaver, charge stand needed to charge battery, no zip cover protector for travel
i try others and they was to slow or did not cut so i ask other people about this.so i try it i had 30 days to try it and so i did it much be the blades hi and low blades on it because it cuts great i have not try it with water so i dont know about that
