Review (2/5): Started great but went down in experience
If you are expecting Shave which is closer to Blade then stop. No Rotary Shaver will ever will do that. I have used Rotary Shavers for last 20 years for beard and I purchased this product with those expectations only. I bought this product for its high ratings, 5 blades vs 4 blades and digital display for battery life. I bought it for my head not face. I still use my Norelco for Beard and quite happy with it.
It started pretty good and deserved all the high ratings when I started using it new.
5 Blades seem better than four but now I feel four is more practical. It is pain to open blades for cleaning. I can still manage outer four with little effort but middle on is pain in fingers. You are supposed to push outer blades backwards and open those first and then rotate middle one counter clock wise to open it but there is no grip to do that. It is just too small and flushed with bottom surface. Same happens when you try to put it back after cleaning. Guys stick with 4 blades
Battery: This is where it let me down after 2.5 months of use. Battery and its digital display worked just fine for a month and a half and then out of blue it went from 30% to 9% in the middle of shave. Then after a few days I turned off shaver after use with battery level of 27% and couple of days later it won't turn on and forced me to charge. You cannot use this shaver plugged in so if battery dies on you you would need about an hour before you can use it again. I wish I had that luxury in morning.
Now after 2.5 months of use I can hear freshly washed/cleaned shaver struggling even in air. Doesn't look like it will last very long.
I feel that I didn't get the worth of money I spent on this product.
