Consumer review by:

Worst performing Norelco razor ever. and twice the price of those that worked.

 

In order to use this razor at all I have to use a blade razor at least twice a week, otherwise it looks like I haven't shaved at all. This is the worst performing, most expensive Norelco I have used in the past 25++ years!!

Philips Norelco arcitec 1090X

 

Rotary shavers advance again with the arcitec, a svelte and lightweight tool that's as good as rotaries get. The breakthrough: heads mounted on a wildly

Lithe; glides easily over skin. Includes two charging options: a hard travel case and an upright stand. LED indicates charge time remaining

So lightweight it's difficult to control with precision, especially on narrow regions like upper lip. Still missed hairs after lengthy shaves

Excellent Shaving system.

 

This shaver is excellent. I have been using Norelco shavers for over 30 years and, although all were very good, this one is the best that I have ever had. I have read a handful of negative reviews on this shaver and I think that they may have been from...

Not happy!

This is a fancy shaver but does not give a close shave, even with a pre shave cream.

Not As Good As Previous Norelco Models. Not For Anyone With a Mustache or Beard

 

Not As Good As Previous Norelco Models. Not For Anyone With a Mustache or Beard

I have been using Norelco shavers for 30 years at least. This was my 4th model of Norelco shaver. I have been using this shaver about 6 months. For the first time I am very disappointed in a Norelco product and I will purchase another brand soon. The...

It's Back to Braun for this Consumer

 

It's Back to Braun for this Consumer

I'd used a Braun foil shaver for many years, but grew tired of having to purchase their clean and renew refills every month. Thought I'd give the Norelco a try. My expectations were high for this shaver, given the numerous favorable reviews here and...

New Technology Doesn't "Cut" It

I purchased this razor for my son for Christmas thinking that since it is the newest technology in Norelco razor systems, it would provide a pretty thorough shave. And...at $200+, I don't think I was being unfair to have high expectations. However,...

Good, but not excellent

I bought this to replace a Philishave 8000 series razor. Boy, is this a cool looking razor, with the carbon-fiber panels, the neat countertop stand, and the spaceship-like "power pod" (which is too hard to get the razor in and out of). The shave is...

Expensive, but worth it

 

Expensive, but worth it

This is a very good electric shaver. I have extremely sensitive facial hair, especially on my neck; it gets irritated at the slightest provocation. This shaver has been very good to me. It is an expensive shaver, but a worthwhile investment if you...

Product Specifications

Philips Norelco Arcitec Shaving System model 1090 With a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer. Arcitec's 'central drive' technology makes it possible to design an ultra slim ergonomic body that fits snugly in your hand -- making it more comfortable to hold and effortless to use. The central drive technology connects all rotary blades to the shaving motor using only one spindle (axle) for a more comfortable grip.
