Review (1/5): A Word of Warning - 2 Years Doesn't Mean 2 Years to Norelco
I owned a Philips Norelco shaver that cost much more than this model (purchased Dec 2008). However, even at more than twice the price the I found the quality of the shaver to not meet my expectations. After a year of usage my shaver would stop intermittently while I was shaving. After a couple weeks the shaver would not turn on at all. The shaver was replaced under warranty.
Walk the calendar forward to Nov 2010 and I am experiencing exactly the same problem, shaver stops intermittently while I'm shaving (even though it's fully charged). Knowing what's about to occur AGAIN I call Philips/Norelco customer care, the shaver has a 2 year warranty, but not really. While P/N warranties the shaver for 2 years, they only cover replacement ONCE. Even though I'm still within my 2 year warranty, the unit is no longer covered.
Now maybe I'm just one unlucky guy, getting two shavers that have exactly the same problems and almost within the same time frame (1 year), but this seems to indicate a design flaw in this particular model. The fact that P/N warranty terminates after the initial unit is replaced is not making me a happy P/N customer. I then looked for another shaver, this time it was NOT a P/N model and I would suggest that you consider other brands as well or be well aware that 2 years doesn't mean 2 years to Norelco.
