Review (3/5): Expected More...
I had a Norelco triple header with height adjustment for eight years. It gave a close shave, but I had to work at it, especially the neck area. I got my money's worth and more given the trouble free service and I didn't have to replace the blades. The 8140XL is performing the same in terms of quality of shave and speed. I expected more given the hype of the triple rows of blades w/in the each of the three heads. Water cleaning works well. Much quieter than previous one. I get 3 to 4 shaves from a charge. The 8150 model offers a "need to recharge" light. The 8140 does not, and it just stops w/o warning so better have the charger handy. Hard to believe that Norelco can justify a higher price just for the convenience of a charge warning light.
