Review (3/5): Searching my soul regarding the Norelco 7140
I purchased this razor so I could shave during my morning commute. I have used a Norelco triple headed razor for over 35 years, and this one shaves me well. I like the floating head, and the fact that it can be rinsed with water easily.
I wish it had a battery that was less prone to memory problems so I could leave it plugged in every day. There is no meter to let you know when the battery is low, or when it will give out. The battery giving out while on the road is unaccceptable. I am unaware of a car charger cord being available, but it would be nice.
Do not leave this razor in the car over a cold night, or the battery will go dead. There is no warning when the battery dies, the razor does not slow down, or beep, or any such thing - it just stops!
It seems that with the amazing performance of some other types of batteries in items like digital cameras and cell phones Norelco could have improved this aspect of their product.
Overall, I do like this razor, especially for the relatively small price I paid for it!
