Five Star Reviews: | 58% Really smooth shave! I really like being able to clean the blades by running the head under a water stream from the sink faucet. April 16, 2017 Provides a really smooth shave. My previous electric razor lasted almost thirty years before it finally died (on-off switch finally failed) so I hadn't realized how much an improvement there has been in the sharpness of the cutting blades (yes, I had replaced the blades several times in the previous razor over that thirty year time span!). I really like the capability of cleaning the blades by running the head under a water stream from the bathroom sink faucet.Although it is advertised as providing approximately 40 minutes of shaving time with one charge of the battery, I have found it lasts quite a bit longer than that so far. Phenomial Electric Razor August 2, 2016 So my little brother hit shaving age and I bought him this. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! The construction is solid and I found this to be VASTLY superior to my Norelco Sensotouch 2D, and that razor runs at double the price as this one. I was able to shave much faster and got a much closer shave with this razor. I ended up replacing my Sensotouch 2D with a Braun 7 Series which is the best electric shaver I've used so far, but I still can't recommend this razor enough, especially given it's very low price point.The only drawback I can see to this razor is that you have to disassemble the shaving head to clean it out thoroughly, but I don't think that's a huge con at all.Again, I don't think you can beat the value prop of this razor. Best choice in this price range. August 8, 2015 This is a very good razor. Great shave. Faster spin speed than lower priced model, due to higher voltage lithium-ion battery. Charges quicker, has charge indicator light, stays charged longer. Rinses out to clean. Trimmer works great too. Does not come with charger stand as pictured, just a regular charger. Excellent Electric Shaver at an Affordable Price May 4, 2015 I've used this shaver for a couple of weeks and it has exceed my expectations. I get a reasonably smooth shave without using the water needed for the optional scrape razor. And that's no small thing here in California where water is becoming a rare and precious resource. The reason I purchased this item was to save water, and it's doing that; not much saving, but every little bit helps, I hope.I like the ergonomics of this shaver as it is very comfortable. The floating heads do an excellent job of providing a smooth shave. It charges the battery fairly rapidly, but I keep it plugged in at night, and don't take it on trips. So, battery charging is not an issue for me.I recommend this to anyone needing a fine electric razor at an affordable price. Pleasantly impressed March 6, 2015 This razor really exceeded my expectations! I bought it as a replacement for my 8-year-old Norelco razor, and the technology has advanced noticeably. I like the battery life, which lasted 3.5 weeks for me on its first charge. The low battery indicator and the quick charge feature are also big pluses. I'm happy with the closeness of the shave. The ability to clean the razor under running water works fine, though I don't know that it saves much time. I haven't tried a 'wet shave' with the razor, but it's nice to have the option. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this razor for the price. | 47% I really like this it works well and I like the eyebrow ... March 27, 2017 I really like this it works well and I like the eyebrow adaptor too because you won't make a mistake trimming them. Much better than WAHL or CONNOR ones. May 13, 2016 Only had for a single day, but so far I can say this the best of three different electric trimmers I have used.It is fairly quiet, doesn't squeal like the Connor one I had.The cutting blade is "inside" the comb guard and the guard is micro thin, but has no sharp edges. (unlike the WAHL one I had).So, when you twist this thing around in your nostril, it doesn't have a chance to pinch any sensitive skin.The size easily fits in the nose and ear. (unlike the Connor one).The unit is water sealed and has stainless exposed metal parts, so you can wash it in the sink. (neither the connor, nor the wahl one was complete sealed)Uses a standard AA battery (nice/simple). (unlike the connor one)The quality of the piece is such that if I ever drop it, it doesn't look like it will brake. (my Wahl one fell apart into small pieces after dropping it just 18" into the sink). Harry the nose guy's review December 26, 2015 Better than other styles because of its "unique ProtecTube guard system." Cuts close, cuts quickly, does not pull. Cleans under running water. Mine came with a battery.Made well. Quality materials.I got the impression from using this product that Philips Norelco wanted to made a high-quality trimmer that most people will say works better than all the other trimmers they have used. Everything about this trimmer is a little better than the other trimmers I have used in my 45-year fright of looking into the mirror each morning.I have two, one for home, one in the travel bag. I gotta say how nice it is to have a trimmer that's water resistant November 28, 2015 I gotta say how nice it is to have a trimmer that's water resistant. The plastic case for the tip is nice to have. I' haven't used the eyebrow though. The trimmer is a good size and fits nicely in your hand. I appreciate that this trimmer does not have a light at the top like other trimmers which is just a gimmick. You'll see on the box that the blades are a different construction from other trimmers which makes this one not pull on any hairs when trimming. This is a very important feature when trimming your nose. It runs smoothly and doesn't stutter like other trimmers that I've owned often did. Of course, cleaning is easy. Just hold it under the faucet for a couple seconds and wipe down. The directions also say to hold this in a glass of warm water for a couple seconds for an even better clean. Best nose trimmer, professional-grade June 7, 2015 This is the best trimmer I've owned. It is the first one that seems to have been designed as a professional tool, rather than simply an "as seen on TV" type trimmer. Uses one battery and provides very active microblade type trimming. No pulling of hairs. Very easy to manipulate into nose, ears, eyebrows. Inserting the battery is not obvious, but the instructions show: the bottom portion that twists on/off, is also the portion that removes for inserting the battery. (You have to twist it to a certain position.) Had some trimmers in the past but they all pulled ... May 8, 2015 Had some trimmers in the past but they all pulled rather than cutting the hairs. These do the job well. Used them for several hours (not all at one time - I am not that hairy) and they did not get appreciably duller. I even use them to blend my neck hair. I do not worry about getting nicked or cut. The older I get, the less hair on top and the more elsewhere. Product seems well designed, made, and is durable. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 24% This is a great value for $40 June 13, 2016 This is a great value for $40. The razor is comfortable, works well, and is easy to clean. The battery holds the charge well, too. The only issue is that while shaking hair out of it, the cover and hinge "popped" out of the main body; however, I gently pushed it back and it has never failed since and is not loose. Great price on a trusted name! May 24, 2016 I was pleasantly surprised at how quick this was delivered. It came packaged in a simple box with the cord, plastic cover for blade protection and a set of instructions. There was no traveling case included. I have always like Norelco products and have used them for years. This particular vendor offered an additional 6 month warranty over the two year warranty included. It charged fully within four hours and worked effortlessly. I was pleased with the purchase. The only reason it did not get five stars is the booklet for the directions was not cut properly (however everything could be read). Buy the HQ9 SpeedXL Replacement Heads for a closer cut February 8, 2016 Out of the box this shaver works okay. Because the stock blades are the "comfort cut" much of the surface area is not used so you may be left with an uneven cut. I wanted a closer cut since I was literally having to shave twice as long which can irritate the skin. After 3 months of using it, I bought the HQ9 SpeedXL Replacement Heads which has more blades and uses all of the surface area of the shaver head. Now I'm left with a much cleaner cut. You can't hate the French for giving us Gillette and Norelco! November 3, 2015 I've owned Norelco before. So when my shaver wore out after about 12-15yrs of use, I decided to give the PT724 a try. I was amazed at how comfortable and clean it shaves. You couldn't beat the price either. At about $45, it's the price of a dinner for two and the effect of the dinner is over before the next day/meal. The effect of the money spent on this shaver will last you years.Pros:-can shave while the unit is charging-Charges quickly-good grip-clean shave-trimmer works great-ligtht and easy to gripcons:-somewhat loud compared to the high-end Norelco models (8833-XL that I owned for example).-Feels a liitle cheap compared to the 8800 line. But at the price, it's an unfair comparison.I've only owned this for about 4mths. So I don't know much about its durability.Good luck! Good experience. September 12, 2015 This is the first time I started using an electric razer with 3 heads and also the first time I had my skin clean with no scratches. I think my skin is very sensitive to blades and this shaver was perfect. It wasn't that efficient (I had to place it in the same area over and over), but so far so good. It might be me just me getting used to it.Amazon didn't sent the porch and stand/holder shown in product description page. I didn't take a star for that since it isn't a product flaw, but bad advertising from amazon. Good service so far - but that's just two weeks. I'm counting on the Li ion batteries... December 13, 2014 I got this for my husband. In the past, he has had several Norelco razors and the very similar versions from Remington, plus a Braun of a different design. The limiting factor has always been the NiCad batteries, so I hoped this version would be an improvement. He has only had it for a few weeks now so that's no test for the batteries, other than mentioning that the initial charge went quickly.One of the Norelcos he had was a high-ticket version with a little reservoir that holds some Nivea lotion. He said that did make the shave more comfortable, but no closer, and if he skipped a day (or two), it could not cope with the extra growth; he doesn't have a heavy beard either Also, the trimmer head was separate and the regular head had to be swapped to use the trimmer. He gave it a full year and a little more, but eventually he decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Also, the blue plastic trim is deteriorating - not so good for a premium product.The point of discussing a different razor here? Save your money. Stick with the PT 724 or a basic variation. | 14% Good. July 28, 2016 I've yet to find one f these trimmers that I would consider excellent but this is probably the best one I've used so far. This is my second one of this model. Broke the last one. This trimmer is simple and well designed. Includes everything I need and both I don't need. Only thing that would make it better is being made from higher quality materials but is unneeded for this product. Just like you shaved the inside of your nose.... May 27, 2016 I, actually, paid full price for this little trimmer, so the review is really unbiased. So far, after several months use, it has proved to be effective and reliable. I have trimmed nose, ear and eyebrow hair with good results, but, I mainly, applaud it's effectiveness on nose hairs. It has issues with longer hair, but once you cut them all down it works great. The nose hairs are so short, it looks like you shaved the inside of your nose. Just keep the blade on the skin as you rotate it around the inside of your nose. Viola! nothing to filter out all the particles in the air you breathe (But, it is appreciated by all of us). Worked great for 2 months then died. January 28, 2016 My other Philips products work fine, this one worked well for 2 months and doesn't now. Swapped battery and still doesn't work.Update: From reading other reviews I didn't realize it needed lithium batteries. I had tried alkaline and nimh and neither worked. I bought some new lithium batteries and got it to work again.Adding two stars back for that. I had been using it a lot to trim some outlying beard hairs. Replaced the batteries and bought a dedicated beard trimmer for that job. Hopefully batteries will last longer now. Gets the job done January 8, 2016 This gets the job done. The sensation is a bit weird, but definitely not as uncomfortable as I would've expected from a nose trimmer. A bit weird to say but I do look forward to using this.It's a small lightweight device that I'm really not afraid to toss around in my luggage when I'm travelling, nor will it take up space or add bulk. There's a couple loose items (the cap and the edge) which I wish would've come in some kind of small carry/travel pouch, but not a big deal. If you'll keep this at home, then nothing really to worry about.Only gripe for me is it's not rechargeable : works on disposable batteries. It'll last a while before you have to think about it...but when I was shopping around I wanted something small and cheap that could still get the job done. And this checks all those boxes. It's really a no-brainer at this price tag. Good, but could use some work. August 22, 2015 Hey, did you know sometimes females have nose hair? I bet you didn't. Please allow me to enlighten you. The plastic tip at the end is just a bit too long. If it could be shortened, it would be absolutely perfect. The tip makes it difficult to get in the small spaces and trim hairs. I end up having to use facial hair scissors. Ever snip the inside of your nose by mistake? Even the slightest close of the blades is exquisite pain. So please shorten or take off the plastic tip so the trimmer can get in there and do some real work. Those of us with round bulby noses sprouting hairs in the Rotunda could use some help. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 8% Battery life horrible. September 2, 2017 Tricky way to obsolete you shaver and buy a new on. My experience with Norelco up to this point has been fabulous. Best engineering design on the market. BUT, the battery died in less than a year and there was no way to replace it. This forces me to buy a new shaver. I was angry and got a Braun. See my review on this disaster above. Battery life much shorter than similar older model February 25, 2016 I bought this because it is very similar to my older Norelco 7310XL. It can be rinsed under the faucet and it uses the same blades. So far it cuts OkBut the battery only lasts about 7-8 shaves. My old one lasted at least 14 and as many as 20 shaves. I have to assume the battery in the new model has lower capacity.This model also tends to vibrate slightly when shaving-- the old one ran smoother. Also, there is no warning that the battery is low. It just suddenly stops working. The older model gave obvious signs that it needed recharging by starting to slow down and sounding differ.This model does recharge faster --- but that is the only improvement I can find. Otherwise, it seems to have been engineered down to save money. I would much rather have a better one, but I guess I'm stuck with this ... January 31, 2016 This is the bottom (and I mean bottom) of the line. The ENTIRE thing is plastic. It rattles and sounds cheap. The motor sounds about half as strong as my old Norelco shaver. It DOES work. It shaves. It came in a cardboard box that had the appearance of a refurb. I would much rather have a better one, but I guess I'm stuck with this one for a few years. BUT...It does work. If you aren't too particular, it might be great for you. I'm not really happy with this one January 14, 2016 I've always owned Norelco shavers. I'm not really happy with this one, wish I'd bought a grade up. This shaves well, but, is rough on the skin. Since I owned an older Norelco, my face is used to electric shavers. The shaver blades are easily cleaned, just wash it in water, however, the area that catches the whiskers is tougher to clean, especially once it's wet after just being washed with water. This one doesn't have the "lift and cut" blades, which I knew when I purchased it, and that's why I wish I'd purchased the grade up.Also, the motor at full charge seems a lot "weaker" than my older shaver. My older shaver was over 20 years old, and I needed a new one, but, I wish I hadn't gotten this model. Comfortable, but inconsistent. October 22, 2015 This shaver works fine, I guess. It's a Norelco, a trusted brand, and they've been making shavers for longer than I've been around. But quite frankly, my little 2-headed Norelco travel shaver --- about 20 years old -- seems to do a better job.This model is comfortable, though. The mounted heads move nicely along the contours of my skin. But I do find myself going over the same spot two or three times -- way more than I should be.Also, the plastic feels cheap. The other travel shaver I mentioned is plastic, too, but it is thicker and sturdier. With this shaver, I feel that if I drop it, it's going to shatter like a light bulb.Finally, I don't feel like I get enough from an 8-hour charge. Just two or three shaves, and that's it. Maybe unreasonable on my part, but I have a light beard. I'm in my 50s, but I'm not even a daily shaver. Not like I'm really working it. I shouldn't have to go over spots two or three times. The older shaver still goes strong for a longer stretch on a couple of AA batteries.They don't make'em like they used to. Better than nothing August 24, 2015 Better than nothing. If you have a very curly beard and have to shave with the grain to keep from getting pseudofolliculitis barbae, this razor is not going to do nearly as well as a fresh old-fashioned safety razor, in a hot shower, with shave oil and shaving cream applied with a badger hair brush. Maybe it would do that well if you used it in the shower, with shaving cream, etc. The instructions say you can. But if you are going to do that, what did you buy this for? By the time I went to all that trouble, I could have just done it the old-fashioned way. I bought this to shave in the car. And for that, it's better than nothing. | 8% He never has nose hair and he seems to like it. September 1, 2017 Bought this for my boyfriend, so can really say. He never has nose hair and he seems to like it. Ok trimmer there must be a better one out there. April 19, 2016 I noticed a lot of reviewers saying the unit died after a few uses.Mine did this when the first battery died.I replaced the battery and I would not work. But the unit was not dead, it was just jammed.To fix the problem, I twisted off the cutting head (it's removable) and turn the unit on and could see the little brass pin spinning.The little white plastic piece inside the head had became jammed so I used a toothpick to clean it out and it started working.Besides that issue this trimmer is better than most of the other trimmers I have tried but still not perfect.The cutting head just doesn't seem to cut short enough and sometimes you can pass over a hair multiple times and it will not catch or cut the hair.It cuts better than any other I have used at this price point but I do not think I would buy it again.Once this one dies for good I will look for something better. defective x 2 - maybe my bad February 16, 2016 worked for a few days and then quit - this is the second one I'm sending back - 1 starupdate - held the cutting part under warm running water to see if it maybe needed cleaning - it did and works again - 3 stars but not nearly as good as the prior one November 28, 2015 I owned the previous model for years. They downsized and cheapened it. I use it, but not nearly as good as the prior one. When this one breaks, and it will faster than the last one I will look around for something different. Does the job November 14, 2015 Four months - used it half a dozen times. Very hard to turn on and off - particularly if your hand is wet - the twist is too hard. Stopped working three months in but following advice from a review put it under some warm water - bit of soap and it started working again. Have not had that issue with other trimmers .. but not a big issue.This should not be complicated. It should work for years. It should be easy to turn on. There are likely better options. Second Place Trimmer July 18, 2015 I bought this to replace a Panasonic rotary-type trimmer that actually is still going after many years but is getting a little old and tired. Since the Philips Norelco didn't cost very much, I'll keep it for the handy eyebrow grooming feature. However, I've decided to buy another Panasonic because the rotary head trims more easily and much closer than this straight trimmer. Many seem to think it works fine, but to me it's a distant second. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 4% Shaver causes continued irritation December 6, 2016 I do like a few features of this shaver: it's light and travels well; it's quiet so it doesn't wake others; it has a good strong battery and international versatility for 220/120 volts; its trimmer works fine. But...it doesn't shave well, since I have to go over and over the same spots to get a clean shave; the low battery indicator is ineffective, so you run out before realizing it; but worst of all, no matter whether I shave with a dry face, or with pre-electric shave solution, or with shaving cream, I always get severe irritation and burning at the base of my throat. Even one light pass of the razor over the area will make red lines that last all day. The instructions say you should give your skin a month to acclimate (past the return date...), but it's been lots longer than that! What gives? Wish I could return this. Most of the reviews were good so I ordered it October 7, 2015 I read many reviews on this razor before I purchased it. Most of the reviews were good so I ordered it. Well I'm not real satisfied with it because it doesn't shave very close and I have to go over the same areas several times. The motor sounds like the battery is ready to die, even when it is fully charged. But it is does shave, just not very good. I would like an explanation about it September 23, 2015 Hi,I have a doubt regarding the product is shown in the web. According with it, the shaver comes with a little bag and a docking to be charge.I sent the article to my brother who was in vacation and he brought it to me. But my surprise was that the razor only came with the electric cord, so not with the additional objects that I saw in the ad. I don't know if I was confused and the model that I bought (PT 724) do not bring those articles.I would like an explanation about it. So that is why I indicated only 2 stars.RegardsPhilips Norelco PT724/46 Shaver 3100 Longtime Norelco user, but can't recommend this model August 30, 2015 After 30+ years using Norelco shavers, gotta say I'm disappointed by this model. Normally, when I get a new shaver, one of the great benefits is getting a faster, closer shave than my old Norelco, whose battery and heads have worn down. But shaving with this model is not as close and is even SLOWER than my old Norelco.I don't know if this is mainly due to different heads or whatever as another reviewer suggests (though I don't see any difference from my previous shaver), but I suspect the switch to a Lithium Ion battery has something to do with it. I was eager to switch to Li-ion, and the charging is faster and more convenient, but the heads don't seem to spin as fast, and so the shave isn't as close. It's more like how the shave was on my old Ni-Cd Norelco when the battery was nearly run down.Maybe the voltage on the Li-ion battery is different and that's the reason, IDK. I have no idea whether this affects all the new Li-ion Norelcos or just this one, but I can't recommend this model. I was disappointed in the newer heads as they don't seem to ... June 24, 2015 I was disappointed in the newer heads as they don't seem to work as well as an older model I had. They sound cheap and flimsy. Also, I was surprised to find Philips didn't supply a travel bag (even if it was a cheap model bag). Cleaning this unit is more difficult than the previous model. I don't use water as a cleaning agent as mentioned in the booklet. I guess I just miss my 20 year old unit. It worked flawlessly. Maybe this cheap sounding Chinese unit may as well.... time will tell.As far as delivery from Amazon.... just as they said... no gripes. Worst Norelco I have owned May 4, 2015 I have used Norelco razors for many years. This is the first one I can truly say disappointed me. Takes much longer to shave with this razor than the last Norelco I owned and I always seem to have patches that are left with stubble. I know this is not a top of the line razor from Noreco but it should at least work. Time to find another razor. | 8% Could be better. April 15, 2017 Very very "weak". Doesn't cut the hair. Pretty sure that's what I bought it to do. Not impressed. Worked great.. when it worked April 4, 2017 Worked great .. when it worked. After about a year it stopped working. Ended up buying a different brand but same style trimmer, these seem to work the best. Stopped Working For No Reason December 6, 2016 I actually was quite pleased with this unit. It did exactly what it said it would do; however, after less than 6 months it suddenly just stopped working. At first I thought it was a battery issue, but after going out and buying new batteries and replacing the battery more than once (just to make sure that I did not have a bad battery), it never would turn on again. Other Philips products I have bought I have been pleased with, but this is NOT one of them. :( Not a quality item! November 15, 2016 Used this about 4 times. All the sudden it does not work anymore (yes i changed multiple batteries). The item claims to be waterproof and needs to be cleaned or it will start to smell. Still works after getting wet so i'm not sure exactly what the issue was. Honestly i expected more out of Philips Norelco because i am quite fond of them. and I'm not a super hairy person March 11, 2016 Over all, I'd say that it only works "ok". Multiple passes are required, and I'm not a super hairy person, so it's not like there's a lot to make sure that the trimmer gets. Mine did stop working in March (purchased in September), so it only lasted about 6 months, with very minimal use. Despite cleaning the headpiece by soaking it in warm water, as suggested on the Philips site, and trying a few different new batteries, it just wouldn't turn on.After a quick call to Philips today, they are sending a replacement to me. So if it does crap out on you, be sure to take advantage of the warranty period, which I believe is 24 months. If and when you get tired of needing a replacement, you might want to consider other options. simply because there is a Philips trimmer I had 2 years before this one that worked like magic. It was beginning to smell funky January 7, 2016 I'm giving this two stars and not one, simply because there is a Philips trimmer I had 2 years before this one that worked like magic. It was beginning to smell funky, so I bought this. Well, one week later (after one trim) it stopped working. Amazon, being as amazing as they are replaced it and told me to toss the broken one away. Well, one week later (after one trim) it stopped working.On both units, I replaced batteries and troubleshot it as best I could. Bottom line.. this trimmer is complete and total garbage. I'm mad at Philips for making such horrible quality trimmers and at myself for throwing away the Philips I had for years which worked perfectly fine. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 6% I was very disappointed and too lazy to return it April 20, 2016 Shame on me for not reading the one star reviews before buying.I bought this to replace a 10 year old $25 electric razor from target. I was very disappointed and too lazy to return it.Pros1. No irritation like some new electric razorsCons1. This doesn't give you a close shave. It misses a ton of stubble and the only way to look presentable is to finish your shave with another razor. Useless.2. The seller either purposely or accidentally gave me a used/returned razor. I left the blade cover and brush in the box for a few weeks. When I looked for the box to return it, I saw someone else's hair on both the blade cover and brush. Gross. Two Months and Dead ... April 10, 2016 I have now used this razor for two months. I really liked this razor!! In those two months I have only had to recharge it twice, and that is based upon using it daily. However, after this second charging I went to use it this morning and nothing happened. It wouldn't turn on. I even plugged it in and with the cord in place it still won't turn on. It shows that it is charging, but that is all I get. The unit is dead!! I now get to go through the hassle of trying to get Philips Norelco to replace it. Thank goodness I bought the extra warranty - didn't think I would need to use it so soon!!! Junker November 9, 2015 I have owned a Norelco razor for many years. Thinking it was old and about to wearout I purchased this one. The old one after many years use is much better than the new. It takes twice as long to shave, and never really shaves as close as the old one. It is a terrible disappointment for this brand. Shame on you for producing such an inferior product using a brand name that has stood for quality. never really wrote a bad review on amazon until i got this piece of ... October 4, 2015 never really wrote a bad review on amazon until i got this piece of junk.This totally stopped working after 3 months....went to turn it on and nothing.It was probably a good thing as this razor had poor cutting ability....it has "COMFORT CUT" razor head.When it stopped working, i had a old Norelco (probably 25 years old) with the original "LIFT AND CUT" razor heads, even that one - a pure plug in model with no charge ability, had a better closer shave.I now have the new Braun Shaver 7 series (now very happy) - like my mom always told me, "you get what you pay for".Stay away from this one, you will be very disappointed. I HATE false advertising September 19, 2015 I HATE false advertising, and the pictured image when you first click on this Philips Norelco shows a very nice looking razor docked nicely in its charging stand, with a leather-looking case behind it. The other cheaper model Philips Norelco razors do not show the charging stand and case pictured. So naturally, you pay more for a product that seems to have extras included, but what arrives is just the razor and power cord. This really bothers me! A statement in the description like "Charging stand and Traveling Case NOT INCLUDED" would have sufficed. Or some links which could allow you to purchase these separately would also have been appreciated.I feel misled. Too bad this was a gift for my father who really could have used that charging stand... :( nice features, but i don't like that when the ... June 21, 2015 nice features, but i don't like that when the battery is low, it's like someone throws the off switch. yeah, the light flashes, but nobody i know shaves with the unit upside-down, so you won't see the indicator light anyway. my remington R950 would just die nice & slowly and let you finish the job if you needed to. also, it has TWO concentric cutters in each of the 3 heads and cuts waaaay faster. i can shave in about 5 minutes with the remington and still use it occasionally since it is a better shaver--even tho it is 7 years older than the norelco. the norelco only has 1 cutter in each head & maybe that's why it takes 15 minutes to shave? far too over-rated IMO.edit: after a few months of use, i've come to the realization this shaver just does NOT cut. it takes 20+ minutes to shave! just don't understand these high reviews. did i get a bad unit? were the others getting free product?? can't explain, but this is a one-star shaver at best! | 23% Won't cut, just combs hair. Worthless June 12, 2017 EDITED, CORRECTED REVIEW: The cutting blade(s) is microscopic. One need practically stuff the errant hairs into it. Look closely at the cutting area: see how it's protected by that orange plastic? That guard-piece prevents any hairs from access to the blades. And, as I said the blade/comb thing is micro-size. Maybe it is a hair trimmer for hairy fleas. It doesn't cut any hair, it combs them instead while it whirrs. Nose and ear trimmer poorly designed & ineffective. May 14, 2016 I purchased this nose/ear trimmer thinking it would be an inprovement on my OLD OLD school trimmer that I have had for 10 years now that still works. When finally getting to use this new trimmer I found it just doesn't work even half as well as my older version. Because the cutters are not placed on edge of front side of protrusion you have to insert it much further in than I do with my old trimmer which works so much better than this new type trimmer. The cutters also don't cut as they advertise. I even tried the attachment that is supposed to allow trimming mustashes and side burns but it just doesn't work at all. The cutters just don't work effectively enough to get the job done. This product on paper and ads sounds so good but in excecution doesn't get the job done. Other much better options April 12, 2016 Trust me when I tell you this product is crap. Spend a little more money for a norelco 3100. Or at least try a trimmer with the type of nose trimmer head on the 3100. I can only speak for the norelco 3100 and g370. my nose trimmer attachment broke on my 370 and it was less money to buy a new 3100 then replace the attachment. otherwise the unit will probably last for ever. for a couple more bucks you get a nose trimmer that works great, is comfortable to use and you get 4 more attachments that all work great. I cant speak for the eyebrow attachment. maybe ill try it and update my review. til then, happy nose trimming. peace out! Cuts poorly and mine quit working after 3 months of light use February 4, 2016 This product did a marginal job at best -- I never quite got the hang of using it, and it was never as good as my rusty old trimmer that I foolishly threw away when this one arrived. I've used it perhaps 4 times since receiving it in early November, and now 3 months later it has stopped working completely -- I tried a succession of new batteries, jiggled the battery compartment cover/on-off part of the handle, etc. but it simply does not turn on. There is no corrosion in the battery area, it has never been dropped (nor ever left my bathroom drawer since arriving except to use it), but after running just fine a few weeks ago, today nothing. Stopped Working after 2 months June 17, 2015 Initially I was happy with this purchase but the trimmer stopped working after 2 1/2 months. Probably used it 5-10 times and since it's outside Amazon's return window, it was a complete waste of money. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
