Great Shaver, but don't take it into the shower
I've used several Norelco shavers over the years and this one was the best yet. It charges in less than an hour, yet I found I could shave for a month on a single charge. Lotion packs last about 2 weeks, yielding a smooth, comfortable shave with no shaver rash.<br /><br />After using it in the shower for 6 months, I began to notice that it was filling up with water. The display window showed a water line across the middle. I loosened the screws on the back and let the water drain out, but it was already too late, the insides were rusted to bits. The display window turned muddy brown and I could barely see the LED indicators. I charged it one last time and used kept using it. After that, when the charge indicator glowed red the shaver would no longer charge. The shaver was finished.<br /><br />I called Norelco and they told me it would be covered under warranty. I shipped it off (at their expense) and used my old Norelco dry shaver while I waited. Eventually, a new Norelco 7735X came to my door. I called back to complain about the downgrade and they told me that it was an error, that I was supposed to get a new 7775X, but there were none available. I was offered a choice of a dry shaver, a set of accessories for the 7735X, or a full refund. I chose the refund.<br /><br />Now with refund in hand, I'm getting ready to buy a new 7775X from Amazon. I'll just not use it in the shower. The fact that I've had bad luck and am still willing to come back to this product may be interpreted as a strong endorsement--with the caveat about using it in the shower. That's the only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars.
