A huge disappointment
This is my third high end Philips/Norelco shaver in the past 10 years.  I bought this arcitec 1090 with high hopes that it would do an even better job than my previous 8894xl.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say that after 3 months of using it almost every day... I consider this a step backwards from the 8894xl.  In their quest for a really cool design, and I have to admit it does look really good, they have lost sight of the fact that it actually results in a worse shave.<br /><br />I find myself having to cover the same ground many more times than in the past and have to concentrate much more to check for missed hairs and spots that I have to go over even more.  Also, the statement that the new design improves the ability to shave your neck is not true, I think it is also worse in this regard.<br /><br />My advice, dont bother with the cool Arcitec design, buy the top of the line traditional Philips/Norelco model instead.
