Review (2/5): A poor excuse from Norelco: Pay more or good luck.
This is the worst shaver I have owned. I bought two of them on sale
from CVS @ $29.99. Both died. One problem involves cleaning. If you have
steady fingers fine. My hands shake a bit. I can get some of the hairs out by using hot water. But each time I have tried to lift the plastic blade holder, either one of the parts has broken or there is great difficulty in getting the three blades properly reset and then getting the
holder to click. This has happened twice. Moreover I have found the
motor to be poor. A shaver repair specialist evaluated four different
Norelco units and had the least to say about the 7110. The others received
some praise. Matching the 7110 to the 9160 is like matching a Civic or
Corolla to a Yugo or Pinto.
Also on the current dead razor I found it took a long time to recharge.
Finally now the motor stopped working. I am hoping for a refund from
CVS, even though eight months old. Norelco won't issue a replacement.
There are very few products that I have rated lower. I rate many things.
