Not a great shaver
I had been using the old Norelco 5801XL and it gave a good shave.<br />Unfortunately, after many years - the battery is giving out and<br />lasts about 15-20 minutes.  So after reading the reviews here I initially bought the Philips Norelco 6940LC - unaware it is a corded shaver.  But that really gives a close shave.<br /><br />Even when you turn it on - you can hear the 7140 is turning slower than the 6940 or 5801.  The only way to get a close shave is by pressing hard into the skin with the shaver.  And if you are sweaty - forget it.  The 6940 or 5801 gave an 80% shave when sweaty whereas the 7140 gives a 50% shave - and I need to go over it later to get a proper close shave.
