dependable shaver...
this is my first time with electric shaver...its been 17<br /><br />months now and i have nothing to complain...i use it 7 days a<br /><br />week...initially the battery charge was for 50+mins but<br /><br />now it is usually around 43, still sufficient...<br /><br />the only thing that maybe of concern is the performance<br /><br />if shaving after a gap of more than 2 days, it isnt easy,<br /><br />but the same holds true for the regular razor blade shave too...<br /><br />cleaning is very easy. also the trimmer is real handy...<br /><br />overall i'm completely satisfied
Good buy
This doesn't take any longer to shave than older Norelcos, but if you take your time, your shave will be closer then you could ever get before.<br />Love this shaver and the exact time remaining display.
Better than a Braun
I recently tried out the Braun Synchro System, thinking it would be great to wake up every morning with a clean, well-oiled shaver. Although certain areas of my face were easy to cut, I just couldn't get the shaver to get the short hairs on my chin and neck. I would spend at least five minutes on those areas alone. Thinking it was just a face thing and that, eventually my skin would adjust, I carried on past the trial period until well over a month of use. Finally, I gave up, took the shaver back, and tried the Norelco Quadra. What a difference! The Quadra took to my skin immediately and within two days, I was getting almost every hair that the BSS wasn't. So now I'm a faithful Norelco fan. Sometimes we fall in love with technology at the expense of the quality of the shave. I learned my lesson.
end gashes and razor bumps
I abandoned my electric (a Braun) after a considerably difficult, protracted experience and returned to bald shaving. I tried it all--sensitive skin products, shaving in the shower, every day, every other day, after the shower, on and on ..... I was lucky if once a week I didn't have blood trickling down my face or patches of abrasion.<br />The 7885XL has changed my shaving life! I'm no connoisseur of electrics, but I can report that right out of the box it gave me a smooth beautiful shave--after four weeks I haven't had a single pinch or cut. And I can shave with casual disregard--twice a day, every other day, dry-and-on-the-fly, whenever. Yeah I may have to give patches--like my neck--special attention, but every time I'm done in 3-4 minutes, and it looks perfect & feels smooth. I could not be happier.
Excellent Shaver
I've had my Quadra 7886XL for three months now and really like it. This 86XL version is intended for the discount stores and the Norelco phone rep I talked to said its the same as the 85XL except for color ..... in fact it shares the same users manuel. I purchased mine at Cosco for $90.<br /><br />The shaver is a replacement for a Norelco 710RL which lasted over 10 years. I considered buying the low end Reflex Plus but it seemed a little too cheap and flimsey. So I decided to move up to the Quadra line and have been very pleased.<br /><br />1. Its provided a very smooth and close shave without irritation from the start. Head/blade design has come a long way in a decade. I have a VERY thick and tough beard and am able to complete a shave in 5 to 7 minutes ...... this may seem long but it took 12 to 15 minutes on my old shaver.<br /><br />2. The LCD Display is great ....... remaining charge time is right there as well as a periodic cleaning reminder. The battery does a complete recharge in about one hour and provides 40 to 43 minutes of use.<br /><br />3. Its light and easy to hold.<br /><br />4. The sideburn trimmer seems sturdy and does the job.<br /><br />5. Cleaning with warm water once a week is a snap and it dries quickly.<br /><br />6. Its very quiet.<br /><br />7. The charger is built right into the power cord plug. There's no separate unit to clutter the sink top when recharging.<br /><br />My only gripe is that Norelco does not provide a hard case for the shaver. The soft travel bag is OK for packing on trips but isn't convenient for use in the house. The shaver has a small flat spot on the back and can be placed on a shelf but if you have to put it into a sliding drawer it has a tendency to rock over on its side. Oh well, you can't have everything!<br /><br />Bottom line: this shaver is the real deal. Get one at a discount store if you can ........ but even at $130 its a winner.
Great Shaver
I just wanted to point out a few things. Firstly, I'm not sure why I was more fortunate than most others writing their reviews, but the battery in my norelco, although it is about a year old, lasts me a good 50 minutes of shaving for every time I charge it. It exceeds what the manual claimed. Also, for me, it does not take a full day to let the water dry. After I have thoroughly rinsed it clean, I close the head, (and no, my head does not fly off like others have said) and shake it well, then open the head, and let it dry. It takes maybe a few hours, not much more. Also, if I blow in it for about 3 seconds, before I let it dry, it seems to blow all the large droplets out, so it dries quicker. Overall, I feel this is an exceptional shaver. It curves to your face well, and seems to be quicker and perform better than other shavers I have tried. I definitely recommend this product.
Great Shave plus Exceptional Features
I've been a sceptic of electric razors for years, preferring a blade shave while more and more friends told me that they've come a long way with electrics. My wife got me this Norelco for Christmas and it has completely sold me.<br />First, shave quality is very good. You can either enjoy a good shave in under a minute or else give a few extra moments (3, maybe 4 minutes max for me) and get near-blade-quality closeness. Either option leaves you with no mess to clean up and no cuts or irritation. The user manual recommends that you use the shaver exclusively for the first month so that your skin can get used to the shaver. This is also good a good time for the user to get his technique down - you do need to figure out which way your beard grows on all parts that you shave. During this period, I also noticed that you need less and less pressure as your face gets acclimated, so the comfort just gets better and better.<br />So maybe all electrics deliver a good shave these days - what makes this one stand out? First and foremost, ease of use. The Quadra rinses clean under hot water and even displays on the LCD when it needs to be cleaned. It also shows how many minutes of charge that you have remaining; recharging the unit to a full 40 minutes takes less than an hour and you can use it while it charging with the included cord. The flip-up trimmer is great for sideburns and over the ears. If you've got a sudden appointment or event want to look cleaned up like you just came from the barber shop, then it does a fine job.<br />Finally, all of this functionality is packed inside a lightweight, attractive, durable case. This little wonder has won over a long-time blade proponent.
Good Razor but older Reflex shave was just as close
This a nice Razor. Sharp looking with a cool time indication. The case it comes with is cheap. I am using my old razor case it's smaller and handier.<br />As far as the shave goes it good. I have an older reflex model 5601X that I just replaced the blades on. For a week now I have been doing some tests to see if the new 7885 gives a better shave. I shave one side of my face with the old one and the other side with then new one. I truly cannot tell if the new razor with it's upgraded shaving blades does any better. I have thought about sending it back but I do like it. It can be cleaned with water where the old razor cannot. Don't get me wrong it is a good razor and gives a very close shave for an electric. I just don't feel its any closer than the old Reflex style
