"Speed" name is very fitting
I've had this since the beginning of Dec. '06, and so far, I'm impressed. The initial charge lasted about 2 weeks. The second charge is lasting almost 4 weeks - shaving 4 days a week.<br /><br />The increased shaving area definitely cuts down on shaving time. And, don't let it's low weight fool you. In terms of "closeness," it does a very good job.<br /><br />Cleaning is very easy - just rinse under water. It's recommended to take apart the cleaning heads once a month to clean. Again, very easy.<br /><br />I switched to this model after several years using a Braun. The Braun did fine, but if the outer "foil" was damaged (small breaks in the metal), you were out of luck, had to buy replacement parts and be lucky that your face didn't get cut up in the process.<br /><br />Overall, I'm very pleased with this product!
