Review (2/5): Not as good as Panasonic, or even Braun
I've owned and a Braun Syncro and Norelco Spectra, each for six months. The Panasonic Pro-Curve ES8092NC is better than both. Closer, faster shave. (I shave dry) Good trimmer. Smaller "footprint" than the Braun. Relatively easy to clean, especially when compared with the Norelco. Overall rank: Panasonic is No.1. Braun is No.2. Norelco is No.3. By the way, Norelco has problems with their "money-back" procedure. Don't count on getting your refund.
Sure, it has to be recharged more often, but that's a problem only if you are going on a hike in the woods. (Why would you want to shave there?) The recharger stand is very compact and portable. Just leave it on the stand and it will always be charged.
