it's a great shaver but doesn't solve the world's problems
This is my 3rd Norelco in 15 years, and I've been pleasantly surprised by it.  I wasn't expecting the best, given the range of modest complaints and criticisms in these online reviews.  Apparently, the availability of the online forum prompts nitpicking like never before; in the end, the razor is an improvement over past models at a great price.  Yes, it has a battery that needs recharging.  Yes, it is made in China.  But in the end, it performs great - close shave, great with long stubble, no problems cleaning up.  If you're familiar with older Norelcos, you'll find it a little lighter than before with a substantially better shave.  I can't really imagine how a >$100 model could be better.
