Review (4/5): Better than expected
I think this is my fourth Norelco shaver, having used each one for about ten years.
Good features:
Shaves much faster.
Water cleanup is really easy.
Trimmer is precise and easy to use for side burns.
Not as good features:
Case, while secure, does not hold accesories such as charger, brush and head cover. (This is the sole reason for downgrade from 5*)
I have used the arcitec for one month. Battery life is good - over 3 weeks. Shaves are close and comfortable. The information display is fun, showing minutes left on battery, recharge indicater, and cleanup time indicater. I can't say that the arcitec is light years ahead of my last Norelco, but it is a signifcant improvement.
