Very expensive but functional
This is a very expensive shaver, but it does look very cool.  I've never been an electric shaver user before, so unfortunately I don't have much point of reference for comparison's sake.  But I mentioned the price tag right off the bat because for me it is the most notable aspect of this product.  This unit seems to be solidly built and hopefully will remain usable for a few years, in which case the hefty price may be justifiable for those who's annual shaving budget is higher than mine.  Again, I wish I could boast experience with other electric shavers - because I have to assume there are good ones out there with a lower cost - but I've always managed to make do with disposable razors (not very environmentally friendly I suppose).<br /><br />This shaver fits very comfortably in my hand and (again) the design is very attractive.  It's small and even when in the case it comes with, it's easy to fit in with my other personal effects.  I find it to be rather noisy, a little more than I'd like to be honest, but maybe that's par for the course with this kind of personal electronics.  I was impressed by the area covered by the head - shaving time, for me, averages only a couple minutes as a fair swath is cut by this little device.  Cleaning it really is as easy as described - it rinses off under water, which is convenient.<br /><br />The overall results seem to match the claims Norelco makes - the shaving head moves with the curves of one's face and neck.  I get a very acceptably close shave - but of course, I always have gotten that with cheapo disposable razors (again, not advisable for the environment).  I can't recommend the average person dropping this kind of dough.
