Review (3/5): Buy the 8140XL instead
The Norelco 8140XL is the best that you are going to get from an electric shaver. I tried a Remington foil shaver and it was horrible. It did a poor job of shaving, was VERY loud and made a mess of my bathroom when I cleaned it.
I returned it and bought the 8160XL because it was the same price as the 8140XL on Amazon. The Jet Clean system is a waste of time and space. You clean the cutting blades by opening the top and holding it under running water - done! I don't see any reason to use the cleaning system.
If you can't use a multi-blade razor and need to go electric then I recommend the Norelco 8140XL.
My rating system:
*****(5 stars) - Good old multi-blade razor and shave cream (my old skin can't take blades anymore)
****(4 stars) - Norelco 8140XL
***(3 stars) - Norelco 8160XL
* (1 star) - Remington foil type shaver
