XL Electric shaver

 

XL Electric shaver

This item works well. The newer version contains a "warning" when the battery is low. Other than that, its a great item, and worth the price.

Norelco 8140XL

Good shaver, I wouldn't pay over 100 $ for it. Amazon delivery wasn't that fast even if I paid 25$ + to have it fast. That's probably because it had to go through border. Satisfy of the product overall. Don't make negative comment from seller, they...

You'll really need the 2 year warranty

I have owned numerous Norelcos in the past, and kept them for 5-6 years each. So I gladly bought this one back in Aug 07. I was disappointed in Dec 07 when it had an electrical problem, turning itself on and off at will. But customer service was...

Philips Norelco SpeedXL Shaver

 

Philips Norelco SpeedXL Shaver

Have owned and used about six electric shavers. Without a doubt, this is the best one of all. Close shaves as good a razer. Easy to clean by running under the faucet. Been using it for about a year.

Very satisfactory shave; Not a substantial improvement over 2 blade models

 

Very satisfactory shave; Not a substantial improvement over 2 blade models

This is my 2nd Norelco and I am satisfied with it. My previous Norelco was a 2 row blade system which I had bought in 2001 used for 6 years. There was nothing wrong with my old shaver, but I thought this shaver would be a substantial improvement over...

THIS SHAVER PULLS THE WHISKERS OUT

 

THIS SHAVER PULLS THE WHISKERS OUT

I had Norelco razors before that shaved well that used the lift and cut blades. With those razors you were supposed to shave with a rotating motion. With this razor if you shave with a rotating motion it pulls the whiskers out and it is very painful....

Excellent razor. It's practical, quiet, shaves well, batteries last a long time between charges, no fuss, unfancy razor. Just what I was looking for.

Once You Learn How To Use, It's Great

 

Once You Learn How To Use, It's Great

I know it says "Men's" on there, but I am a woman, and I use this razor. I just happen to have very coarse hair on my legs. Lady shavers don't do it for me. In fact, I've always had to use 2 razors, a men's for the legs and a women's for the underarms....

Great gift

 

Great gift

I bought this shaver for my boyfriend for Christmas and he is happy w/ it. His only complaints were that it doesn't shave as well under the chin and you have to be careful not to shake or bang the razor when cleaning it b/c it will come apart.

Mediocre product

 

Mediocre product

I purchased this razor for my husband as a gift. For the amount of $$ I spent, I expected it to work much better than it did. Doesn't shave very closely and just doesn't have much "power" behind it. Looks like a sturdy product, just dissatisfied w/...
