Is it me that I just can't get a close simple shave with electric razors!? I bought this product out of a recommendation from a friend. She's happy with it, I'm not. I guess it's just me. I always revert back to razors.

I bought this razor at a filene's near my home and without having read any of these reviews online. I still keep it as a back-up for when I lose my regular razor. It does work but it's not ideal for everyday maintnance. It will not easily trim morning stubble but it will work on hairs long enough to wax. You can use it for shorter stubble but it'll take you a few passes. It'll trim hairs short enough to feel but not see.
For me, as an emergency-only option, it's been worth the cost.

Are you wondering why this shaver is now hard to find? It's because it sucks and doesn't work! Do believe the negative reviews on here! Unfortunately I bought it went it first came out at it's highest price! I thought it's Norelco it's got to be good! Wrong! The shaving guard thing in the middle got all warped from trying to take it off for cleaning and the blades on the top and bottom end serve NO purpose! It was like the shaver didn't shave any hair at all;not even close to a smooth shave! I was very dissapointed in Norelco and tossed this shaver into the trash can. I can't believe the testers at Norelco let this product go on the market! :(

I have very sensitive skin and shaving with a razor is painful, so I can only do it once a week. I saw a commercial for this razor and was leary, but I did some research and read some good reviews. I purchased the razor hoping that it would allow me to ditch the painful razor. Oh, I was so wrong! Please, don't buy this razor. It does not give a close shave at all! You have to go over spots over and over and still nothing happens. So, by the time you get done, your legs will still be hairy and they will be all red. It leaves stubble 1/8 of an inch long which totally looks like you haven't shaved. You can't wear shorts, swimsuits, nothing. Plus, the battery dies all time when I am in the middle of shaving, even though I charge it properly. If you are looking for a decent shave, this product will not help you.

Mine didn't cut worth anything, and then it broke when dropped. Now, Norelco is renaming it and targeting it at men. This is a cheap cheap razor, you get what you pay for, and there is a reason that this costs less than a ten pack of replacement blades for your real razor. It does, however, hold a charge a long time. But, since it cuts as well as rubbing sandpaper on your skin, it must be noted that sandpaper needs no battery.
