    So far so good. My family has always used Philips Norelco shavers and whenever we need to replace it we always get an upgraded model. We've been happy with our purchase so far. Highly recommend their products.

    Very good! Works great for African Americans, no razor bumps whatsoever! Very clean, after every use it has a cleaning cycle that you can use or rather press the button and it does its thing.

    This razor cuts closely and cleanly, even after a shave-free weeklong fishing trip. Sometimes my husband will keep shaving simply because he says it feels nice! And the freshening tank keeps the head from getting rank.

    Having used an older version of this shaver and liking it, I upgraded to this newer version for him. He was instantly impressed the first time he used it. He loves it.

    I bought this for my grandson for a Christmas gift. He researched it to see which one he wanted to switch to. This one had top ratings. I hope it is as good as he thinks it will turn out to be.

    This model is a similar emplacement for an older Norelco I have had for about 6 years. Didn’t realize how much I needed. A replacement until this purchased! Good value for the price.

    Clean shave, but takes longer. Razor burn

    Good: -Clean shave -Easy to clean -Quiet Bad: -Trimmer is a separate head -Requires multiple pass -Razor burn More like a 3.5 really. This is a decent shaver. It can provide smooth clean shave but it requires multiple pass and left really bad razor burn. The trimmer now is a separate detachable head rather than the usual flip up, so it just added another step. It’s easy to clean and the charging and cleaning dock works as intended. Takes about an hour to fully charge. It takes about 10 minutes for the cleaning process, but I’m not sure how big of a different it makes versus just washing it regularly, especially when you have to buy refill cartridges every few months. Haven’t had it long enough to really test the battery life, but I’ve used it a few times and it still shows full bars. While this razor is quiet and powerful enough to shave longer hair, it’s just not a good match for me. I don't have thick facial hair so the triple blade head design tends to leave stray hair, requiring me to go over the same area multiple times till I got an even shave. It also doesn’t handle curve areas and around the lips very well for me. It does give you a closer shave in the end, but by the time I was done, I had really bad burns even when I was using shaving cream. I’ve gone through a few razors and this one gave me the worse burns. My previous razor was a straight head razor and that one was easier to shave with, albeit not providing as close a shave as this one. The turbo button doesn’t seem to make a difference. Having the easy detachable heads is nice, but I wish the trimmer was the usual flip up on the back. It’s annoying to have to change heads just to trim the sides after shaving. Overall it’s not a bad shaver. It can provide a good clean shave and my problems with it aren’t necessary the same for someone else.
