Review (4/5): Good value - works great
Seems like I've only owned about 3 or 4 shavers throughout my shaving career of 30+ years but I still remember an earlier Norelco whose ni-cad batteries never died. My latest Norelco seemed to last only about 5 years but it is amazing how each generation of shavers is quieter. This 7140XL is very quiet and almost seems like it isn't running very fast, but yet it does a great job. I've had it about 3+ weeks and I'm still running on the original charge. All my previous Norelco's had a plain straight power cord but this one has a small wall wart at the 110v end. That is my only complaint, I don't like wall warts and would prefer that it be built into the shaver (of course that would add some weight). Overall I am quite pleased and have to wonder if I'm missing something by not buying one of the $150 models. This was a good deal at Amazon, but right after I purchased it, both Wally World and Target had them on sale for about $40.
