Amazon.com Product Description

Offering 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.

The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave -- even on the neck. The new arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas.

The arcitec 1090 brings all of the best together with premium materials for the ultimate in luxury execution. The shaver's body is designed with fine brushed stainless steel, with a mirror coating of dark warm silver. The side panels are of genuine carbon fiber, as used by racing cars and the military for its lightweight strength. Additional features include: digital display readout of shaving time remaining, battery capacity indicator, and full charge indicator. Everything about this shaver is premium.

Cutting edge innovation doesn't stop with the shaver. Now you can recharge your razor while you store it, with the Power Pod travel case that plugs into the wall and protects your investment. While at home, you can recharge your shaver in its sleek stand and show off this modern addition to your bathroom shelf.

For those sideburns, goatees and moustaches, the new patented precision tube trimmer cuts hairs closer to the skin. This improved performance is due to the tube cutting system moving back and forth capturing every hair. All of these improvements and new introductions make it possible for you to conquer your neck to look and feel your best! Chart your course with the new Philips Norelco arcitec and be confident you're getting a perfectly close shave -- even on the neck.

Flex and Pivot Technology: Three independently flexing heads in a shaving unit that swivels 360 degrees for a full range of motion. This ensures optimum skin contact in curved areas, to catch even the most problematic hairs on your neck for a perfectly close shave, even in the hard to shave places.
       State-of-the-Art Design: 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.
Triple Track Shaving Heads: with up to 50% more shaving surface for a faster, smoother, closer shave. The Philips arcitec has more blades than traditional single-track shaving heads for more chances to catch and cut hair on every stroke. So you don't have to go over the same area to get a really close shave.
Superior Lift & Cut®Technology: The dual stainless steel blade system gently lifts hair to cut it comfortably below skin level, for an ultra close shave.
Advanced Tube Trimmer: Extends out from the body of the shaver -- perfect for trimming your sideburns, goatee, moustache -- then slide it back into the shaver to keep that sleek clean look! The new patented precision tube trimming technology lets you cut off hairs closer to the skin. The outer tube has slots to catch hairs and the inner tube oscillates to cut these hairs.
Precision Cutting System: Ultra-thin heads have slots to catch longer hairs and holes to shave short stubble. The stainless steel shaving heads are made very thin so they lie closer than ever against your skin to reach every hair.
Washable: Simply rinses clean in seconds -- for the ultimate in convenience.
Other standard features include:
  • Multi-Purpose Display: Battery Full and Charging Indicators, Shaving Head Replacement and Cleaning Indicator
  • Charging Stand

Sorry, I choose Amazon - Reviewed on 2008-09-06

This is my first time using Amazon.com for purchases other than books and software. So after carefully examining the various razors and reading previous purchasers critiques I decided to go all out and buy the "TOP" of the range product the Philips Norelco arcItec 1090XD Men's Shaving System.
This was not a snap decision as I also physically examined the model in Booths chemist. And after admiring the self cleaning aspects of the so called "SYSTEM" I gave myself a little treat and placed the order. This order also included an extra carton of cleaning lotion and a spare set of cutters.
I duly received the product but low and behold no cleaning "POD". How can this razor be accurately described as a shaving system. Surly a top of the range "Shaving system" includes the cleaning pod.

Enough of my woes but buyers beware. Once bitten twice shy.

On the razor itself I cannot say enough to express by satisfaction with this product.
I have over the pass 40 years always used an "electric" razor. Including 2 Braun and more recently 3 Philips or Norelco models.

The razor is a joy to use. It gives a lovely and almost silent cut. It looks and feels fantastic. The humble "electric" razor has certainly come along way and progressed to the development of this model. The design is so well balanced between the cutting heads and the main body it's as if the cutters were attached to the top of your thumb. The charging system does exactly what it say on the box and is fully charged in 60mins. It does remind you to empty and clean the cutter head after every use. But this is a relatively straight forward exercise and not as off putting as other commentators have suggested. The recharging stand complements the razor in both design and usefulness. It has suction pads on the bottom to ensure that the stand and razor won't move from its correct place. OK the trimmer is not as big as on my current model. But it does exactly what I need in tidying sideburns and trimming over ears etc.
Look it's a Razor not a hair grooming machine.

Would I recommend the razor? Most definitely YES, it's a man's razor. And thankfully as previous ladies have comment on its does not suit their needs. So hopefully I will not see my wife borrowing it either.

However be careful where you buy the product and don't get stung like me.

This is a decent shaver to own whether it's for a man or for a woman. It shaves great with no worries of cuts like with a conventional razor. I am a diabetic and risk infections easy which is why I use an electric shaver instead of razors. I have tried other brands and found the Arcitec to be one of the best I've used, and it's price is comparable to the other brands. I highly recommend this product.

Great shaver...and really cool looking!!!!!!!!!

you have to clean it everytime you use it!! - Reviewed on 2008-08-31

it shaves so so I guess, not great, not bad. It is comfortable though and doesn't irritate your neck.
Not worth the high price - Reviewed on 2008-08-29

It's a good razor, but it's not worth such a premium price. The much less expensive Norelco shavers with rotating heads do just about the same job.
