Review (2/5): Not as good as past Norelcos
I've always been a big fan of Norelco. My last Norelco lasted 14 years and gave a pretty decent shave the whole time. I replaced a few batteries and quite a few cutters, but overall it was great.
Not true of this one. On the positive side, the mechanism they designed for this is very clever. In theory it should follow the contours of your face really well. It's a good looking shaver, too. Very cool blue LEDs and all that. But the shave is poor. I go over and over the same area and it just doesn't get everything. It's not even like you need to touch your skin to assess the closeness; you can SEE that it's not getting stuff, even if you do it over and over again. Norelco says to keep using it, that performance gets better with time, but I'm not seeing it and I'm past the 30-day return period now.
In short, this is really a sub par shaver, and the price for this poor performance is high. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. If you do buy it, realize that the performance after 8 weeks is not going to be any different than the performance after 3, and return it if you don't love it. This is just way too much to spend on a shaver that, in my opinion, works little better than a toy.
