Review (2/5): Norelco 1050CC pros and cons
I bought the Norelco 1050CC (shaver and cleaning system). Here is what I like and don't like:
Pros:
-Shaved great for an electric
-Cleaned up well in the automatic cleaner
-I know others complained but I had less razor burn than other shavers
Cons:
-Beard/Sideburn trimmer is ineffective and located in a very poor place.
-The angle of the trimmer seems awkward to use.
-MOST OF ALL the recharging system is a complete disappointment. Basically you start the cleaning cycle and have to wait around to unplug the shaver so that the battery doesn't get ruined. It even tells you in the instructions not to leave it plugged in if your battery is charged--which is 90 percent of the time. VERY VERY stupid.
I would have kept this razor otherwise if it wasn't for the illogical charging/cleaning system. You pretty much have to choose between waiting 5 minutes watching your razor clean itself every morning or be okay with ruining your battery. It is enough of an inconvenience that I am returning it and going back to my Norelco quadra trac.
