Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used this shaver for a week so far. #1 purpose of the device of course is to provide a comfortable and close shave....I would say it does this very well. I've used electric shavers as well as the old school shaving cream/blades over the last 35 years and most electrics leave me with irritated skin. So far, this one has been good to my skin and leaves a smooth shave. The flexing heads (and probably brand new rotating blades) helps for sure. Grip felt good in my hand. I like that it has a pop-up trimmer as well. I had a more expensive model that had a separate attachment (which I was shocked at...pop-up trimmers have been on shavers since my Dad's). Plug in with USB is a little different, but not hard to find some old iPhone plug to use it with (plenty of those laying around. Definitely recommend checking it out for those wanting a good quality smooth and comfortable shave.

I have been using electric shavers for about 25 years and have always been a fan of Philips Norelco products. I've never liked to use traditional razors because shaving takes longer, I always seemed to get nicks, and I was never a fan of the clean-up process (including drain clogs). This product impressed me with its features and shave quality. Pros: - Their latest models, including this one, has shifted to USB charging. I love this because I don't have to search for the correct power cord to charge with as virtually everyone has readily available USB charging plugs these days. - It can be used both as a dry shaver or in the shower. Being waterproof also makes it easier to clean. - The trimmer, used to neaten beards or trim sideburns, works well. - It's nice and light, has a comfortable grip, and can run for up to 40 minutes on a charge. - The shave feels very good with this product. It does a great job, with its flexible heads, of giving a fairly close shave in an efficient amount of time. Cons: - A USB cord is included in the box, but the power adapter to plug into is not. Make sure you have a spare adapter for your bathroom outlet when you purchase this. (Or you can charge it in another room as well) This shaver is priced affordably and functions exactly as I need it to. I think it's a great option for anyone, like me, that does not like traditional shaving.

The budget electric razor market has an abundance of options in this day and age. I have been looking for something to use for beard trimming, and some shaving of areas of my face and head (fully bald look). I have purchased expensive electric razors for years, and I have been largely underwhelmed by them honestly. After many uses though, I am blown away by the Philips Norelco Shaver 2400! I have a much more expensive electric shaver that I use for my head, and it really never does the trick in giving me that razor close shave. This is something I had given up on, and really thought to be impossible. How wrong was I! This Norelco Shaver 2400 keeps my head smooth, and it does so in record time! I only spend a couple minutes a day going over my head now, and my old electric razor took me at least 7-8 minutes! And the beard trimmer is awesome too, it does an excellent job of tackling the minor trimming that I do a few times a week. Overall this razor outperforms some of the expensive competition, and at a fraction of the cost!

I have always had a somewhat love-hate relationship with electric shavers. They are convenient, but they are often not efficient and fail to shave as well as a traditional hand-held razor. Unfortunately, this cordless electric shaver is not much different. To begin, the unit has a rechargeable battery and is designed to be used either dry or wet, which is convenient (although I very seldom use an electric shaver wet because I need a mirror and, if I am not going to shave in the shower and need to stand in front of my mirror, I might as well lather up and use a razor). There is a beard trimmer included, but its effectiveness is lackluster (and, when trying to use it in the "wrong" direction, it will close on you). The hair reservoir within the razor is pretty deep, so no need to empty it frequently, which is nice. The grip is comfortable and the razor seems to glide well. Beyond that, though, I found the shaving experience to be average. If you have facial hair that is longer than stubble, the razor can struggle and I found myself making multiple upon multiple passes to try and shave my face and neck. If shaving stubble, the razor is more effective, but longer facial hair is a challenge. As a matter of fact, I often found myself "cleaning up" with a traditional razor after using this shaver. This experience is essentially the same experience I have ever had with cordless electric shavers... This unit is no different. On the plus side, though, if you are willing to go over and over the same spot on your face multiple times for the hair to be trimmed, the unit does a good job of being comfortable and not giving you razor burn. As much of a pain as it is to use a traditional razor to shave, though, I personally find that it goes much faster than using an electric razor (this model included). So, what are my ultimate thoughts? This electric razor really is not any different than other razors on the market. If the price is comparable and you are looking for an electric razor (and are familiar with the disadvantages associated with such), this shaver will do just fine. If you are looking for something revolutionary in shaver design, however, this is not it.

The Philips Norelco 2400 cordless electric shaver has a well thought out form factor. The unit fits comfortably in either hand. This model has all the standard features one would expect in an electric shaver. This Norelco razor is also a wet/dry shaver. The floating 3 rotating cutting heads conform to your facial features and give you a close shave. With the push of a button the top of the razor flips open to allow for cleaning of the razor. The razor can be cleaned by running water and turning the unit on. The unit should be air dried only. The three cutting rotating blades are replaceable. The plastic cover to protect the top of the razor only fits in one way and will snap shut. The feature I like the best about this model is the flip up top is securely fastened to the body of the razor. All the other razors I have owned the flip top fall off when you turn them over to brush out the hair. On the back of the razor is the pop-up trimmer. This trimmer is also cleaned by running water. The trimmer cuts are fine and to the skin without leaving a rash. The only thing that I had a problem with was the charging cord. The unit has the standard 2 prong plug type charging port but the other end plugs into a USB type A charging adapter that is not provided and with most new products utilizing the USB type C ports, USB type A charging adapters are hard to find.

It is kind of a bare bones package: you get a shaver, a USB charging cable without wall adapter, and a screen cover (which fits quite tightly) but no brush or carrying case. However, I have found it to be one of the finest shavers that I have used. It provides a close shave without causing any burns while gliding around/over the numerous obstacles (moles) on my chin. When you pop up the shaving heads, you will notice a cavernous area beneath and large towers that flex a lot and provide power to the shaving heads. I think it is those towers that are the secret to to smooth shave with obstacles avoidance. The popup edger/trimmer works but it is not a feature that I use often. The shape of the shaver it a bit different from what I am accustomed to. Most of the shavers that I have used are kind of long and skinny, but not this one. It seems like it is a bit shorter but quite a lot bigger around yet no so big around that I cannot easily grasp it properly - it actually feels more comfortable in my hand somehow. It provides a really super shave.

I have been a happy owner of a Norelco shaver for nearly four years now and it has been better than I expected. I was curious to test an "updated" version of this shaver and came away highly disappointed. Whereas the older version felt heavier and more solid with metallic like trim with an actual power level indicator light, this new version feels like a plastic lightweight imposter. The power light now is a flashing one rather than an accurate three bar indicator. The new model feels lightweight and very cheap. And while the older model was fairly quiet, this new thing is a noisy hot mess. Worse yet, the older model came with an actual plug to go into an outlet and attached with a two pin connector into the shaver for charging, this new product has a smaller connector with a usb connection. What is worse is that there is no power charger for you to use the usb to charge and you will have to supply your own. In this era of cheapening products, this is simply unacceptable. Also the instructions are a hot mess of multi-folded areas printed on one huge sheet of paper and printed with small print that is uncomfortable to read with even glasses. This is another trend of many manufacturers of recent products cutting down on actual instructions and filling the user guide with warning after warning. I would not recommend this product at all since it feels cheaply made when new. I cannot expect this thing will last two years. Glad I still have the older model which is the same size and general shape as the new one so the updates are purely cheapening of the product.

If you want to know what's up with Norelco electric shavers, but don't want to invest a lot of money in the experience, this may be the one for you. Just be prepared for some tradeoffs, when compared to the pricier models in the Norelco lineup. Like a complete lack of any advanced features. Or even Norelco's best shaving experience. The Norelco 2400 still has Norleco's famous rotary triple-header design, but the "4D flex" heads used on this model are much less refined than versions that cost more. And that means the shave is not nearly smooth or efficient. I have been using Norelco shavers for many decades and this one is the least comfortable one I have tried. It tugs and pulls a bit on the whiskers, especially if you have have a heavy beard, and takes many passes to get a smooth, relatively close shave. It does eventually get the job done but it takes a lot more work than with Norelco models with more power and more refined shaving heads. In other words, it's about what you might expect from a bare bones, bottom-of-the-line model. Which this is. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. This might be good for a backup or travel. I am not sure I would choose it for everyday use. The biggest difference between the Norelco 2400 and the more expensive models is the head design. If you pay more, you can get one with an independent pivoting head that some would argue more easily follows the contours of your face. The rotary heads in the more expensive models also have a finer screen, and more blades (twice as many in some cases) , which is faster and more comfortable. The 2400 is a throwback to the earlier original Norelco design where the head is integrated into the body of the shaver. There is a pivot point in the center of the head that allows the three rotary blades to navigate the contours of your face more easily. But that is the only advanced feature you get at this price. Well, unless you consider a popup sideburn trimmer a big extra. That has been standard for a long time. As has the ability to use it wet or dry. Yep. you can do that with this one too. If you are new to the Norelco family, you will be glad to know it also still uses the same rounded ergonomic body design that has been a Norleco trademark feature from day one. Very comfortable in the hand. Easy to maneuver. It's rechargeable so you don't need to worry about a cord, except to recharge it (It comes with a cord but not a USB charger.) Charging takes an hour or two and provides enough power to run for 40 minutes. There is no fuel gauge though. Or any other fancy LED screens or lights. A white light behind the on/off button flashes when power is low. Or when charging. That's about it. So it's pretty basic shaver and pretty low price. If you are OK with that, it's worth a look.

Phenomenal shaver extremely luxurious. However, extremely overpriced.
