Review (2/5): Not the Ultimate
I have used the Arcitec 1090 for about a year now and am fortunate in that I never threw out my old Norelco 5801XL. The first problem is the pop up trimmer, on the Arcitec it is useless. When I need one I always go to the 5801XL. The second problem is that sometimes I don't shave on weekends so Monday mornings with the Arcitec the job gets only half done and I have to finish up with the older model. I was going to buy new blades for the Arcitec but decided to spring for a Speed XL instead. Sorry Philips Norelco but for me your flagship model has hit an iceberg.
