Wish I'd stuck with Philishave!, 30 Jan. 2014

I was attracted to this shaver because of the styling, reviews and seemingly good value for money, it was purchased to replace a Philishave that decided that 2014 was not a year it wanted to work in, and so failed to work on New Years Day. It's proved to be an error of judgement, it does not shave anywhere near as close as the Philishave did, it's not as simple to "wash out" as you have to remove the cutters, whereas the cutters on the Philishave just flipped up and it you want to charge it away from home you have to take the charging stand with you, whereas with the Philishave you could remove the lead from the charging stand and plug it directly into the razor and so leave the stand behind. I'm sure that some people are getting a good shave from this razor, and would say they don't from a Philishave. It's the same with Braun, some people love them but I cannot get on with them, (another expensive mistake!). I can put up with this one for the time being but, once funds allow,...

He found the quality of shave poor. In cleaning the heads, 16 Aug. 2014

I purchased this razor just over a year ago for my husband, admittedly attracted by its cut price. The reason for the price reduction soon became evident. The charging process was rather miss/hit with the charging cradle being both flimsy and not really conducive to making charging contact. Battery life, even when fully charged, tended to fade quickly. He found the quality of shave poor. In cleaning the heads, the retaining plastic clip was both fiddly and inadequate. Problems continued when he accidentally dropped it about two feet onto the mattress, causing the head and trimming device to shoot off. Having re-assembled it, he continued to try to obtain a decent shave, which he never did. The demise of this shaver came when he was re-assembling the head after cleaning and it literally fell apart when a 3-legged piece of plastic turned into two. All in all, it certainly looks the part but looks can flatter to deceive. In his opinion, this is a product to steer well clear of.

Ruined by charging method, 13 Aug. 2014

The shaver works OK and is nice and light to hold. But there is a ludicrous charging system via a stand which fall over under the weight of the shaver, so you have to lean it against something.The main problem is this is the only way to charge, so if travelling have to carry the stand around. Why not just a normal cable and plug?So for me, travelling a lot and prefering to do so without multiple charging devices this is a one star. I wish I had not bought it
