Junk
This razor is junk.  I have had several Norelco razors over the years and this one, as well as their entire current product line, is junk.  First, the cord is not coiled and has a "wall wart".  Second, you have to pay $40 extra to get a model that includes a travel pouch - travel pouches used to be included with all of their razors.  The power cord doesn't fit in the travel pouch - which is odd given that one of the features of the razor is that it can handle world voltage.  Third, the plastic cover for the blades doesn't cover the entire shaving surface so any of the "whisker dust" left in the razor is likely to fall out and make a mess.  Finally, the charging stand is a poorly conceived feature.  The razor can only be stored in the stand when plugged in if the razor needs charging, otherwise, the stand needs to be unplugged.  I never saw any value to these charging stands but, for the person that wants it, it seems that they will be spending an inordinate amount of time plugging and unplugging the power cord.<br /><br />I'm keeping the razor because I don't have time to invest in finding something else.<br /><br />As far as shaving, this razor is adequate.  The heads move around quite a bit in the head assembly so I'm not sure how durable this unit will be.  Despite the manufacturer's claims of superlative shaving, the shave is completely typical of all of the electric razors I have used - not horrible but nothing incredible.<br /><br />So, all in all, this razor (as well as the current line) is a classic case of a manufacturer cutting value and quality while inreasing costs and claiming more features.  Clearly, the only people who will be excited with this product are first-time electric razor users.
