New vs Old
I've been using a Norelco Model #l5810XL "old" for quite a while. I decided to find a newer product for a closer shave and easier cleaning. The 1090 "new" seemed to fit the application, so I purchased it. After using it I have found that it doesn't shave any closer than the old Norelco and believe it or not it is harder to handle. The plus side of the 1090 is that it is so easy to clean, just run the cutter heads under the faucet. I hope this review will help someone get a more accurate picture of this item and think hard before you you assume "new" is always better then "old". it just isn't always the case.
