Review (2/5): Big disappointment from longtime Norelco owner
Things just seem to be going downhill for my expereinces with Norelco. I bought my 6618X razor last October and have been quite let down. First, the box said it was made in Holland like all my previous shavers; inside on the unit it's marked made in China. Next, don't even think this thing can operate on the cord when the battery gets flat -- you'll simply have to wait until it gets recharged. Whose idea was that? My advice is to look VERY carefully to see if it can be operated with the cord as well as cordless; this was never a concern in my past Norelco's, either they had a battery or they didn't but they always worked on the cord. I imagine when the battery gets worn out this shaver will end up in the trash. Pity.
