Review (1/5): Terrible
I've been a user of Norelco products for over 15 years and have been extremely happy with their older models. This product, however, is a total disappointment and should be an embarrassment to this company. I dread having to use this product and I am actively looking for another company/product as I have lost my trust in Norelco. I received the 1050 as a gift by the way and I would have never purchased this product based on the generally negative reviews and the obnoxious price tag. It seems like Norelco has spent a great deal of effort making the 1050 look good, but not necessarily function well. Putting the moronic charger design aside (the shaver nestles deep into the charger jacket and there is no easy way of clawing it out without hurting your finger tips), the blades and motor itself seem to lack enough power to perform a basic shave. Dont have time to shave for a day or two? Minor stubble will often lead to snagging, causing a great deal of pain and discomfort. The jaw line and neck require numerous passes to shave, which causes lots of irritation by the end of the shave. Same goes for the sideburn trimmer, which is difficult to use since it so close to the head (difficult to see where the blades are) and it severely underperforms. All in all, it's best to do more research and find a better product.
