Great Product
I have been using Norelco for over 40 years. This product is so far the best one I have used. I like their electrics the best and prefer electrics over a blade.
Definite upgrade from old Norelco
I got this razor for my husband for his birthday. He had a Norelco 4845 (I think) for the last 5 years so I know that the products were long lasting. I was looking to buy new blades but they were hard to find so I figured I'd just buy a new razor.<br />Reasons I went with this one--quick charge time (only an hour), the super quick charge in a hurry (enough to jump into a shower while charging, and then quick shave), the charge % indicator, and able to wash the heads under water. All of these were an upgrade from my husband's old razor. In the last 4 months, he has only needed to charge it twice (and he shaves about twice a day, before work and if we go out in the evening--he grows his hair fast, so please don't think it is because the razor isn't doing it's job...he's just like that). He can rinse the heads under water, eliminating the hair around the trashcan when he misses. The charge % indicator and the quick charge is great so he doesn't waken up in the morning and realize he can't shave because it isn't charged. I also think the razor is cutting the hair better (and I know a wife can tell) than his old one.<br />Reasons for not getting a higher up model--Well, the price was one issue. I spent around $99 at Target for this model. The next highest in the series has an LCD charge % indicator, and I didn't feel it was necessary (and just one more electronic component to deal with). The 8 series looked cool, but comparing the one that was the same price, this one had more features. And it looked like the only difference with the heads was that the spacer for short and longer hairs were alternating rather than two separate areas. I really didn't see the advantage to spending more money for that. So I chose this one.
Great Razor
I bought this razor for my boyfriend who was tired of shaving all the time. I gave this to him a while ago and it is still kicking and he's still using it. The built-in power indicator makes it easy for him to figure out when to recharge it. It's portable so it's great for travel and not having to bring along the recharger on every trip "just in case" is a definite added bonus. Of course, it's never going to shave as close as a traditional razor but you can't beat it for convenience.
This shaver is great
My husband is disabled, therefore must use an electric one. This one gives him the closest shave and is just right for his sensitive skin.
Wonderful, 7865XL beats my razor any time.
To achive the maximum closeness, you must follow the instruction from the small hand book included in the package. At first, you will not see a dramatic change but keep using it and your facial hair will grow to be shaved by 7865XL faster and comfortable every time. My facial hair is thick and a common razor's blade last about 3 to 4 weeks average use. The 7865XL does it in no time and close to my face. My face ends uplike a baby's bottom. The first use always take time, but as you progress shaving over and over on your face it get faster. Depends on your skin and your hair growth too. I can shave in less than 5 min and I have side burns that the combs can go around the edges; of course with some help from my hand. As I hold the hair upward, the electric razor does it job. What more can I say? You gotta try it to prove yourself wrong. And remember, follow the instructions from the small booklet.
Recommended - Nice design
I have been using Norelco rotary shavers for the last 20 years. The last model I purchased worked for 8 years before the batteries wore out. It was a economy unit, model number 815RX.<br />I decided to buy a more deluxe shaver this time, and bought the model 7865XL shown here. It was more expensive than the old one. I charged and used the shaver this morning and was pleasantly suprised with its performance. The heads are floating within their retaining assembly and they conform to the curves on the face nicely. The shave was excellent and my skin was left soft.<br />To those who don't regularly use an electric shaver - some advice. In order for it to work properly, you MUST wash and then dry your face. If I don't do this, I have found that my skin will become irritated and red. It works even better if you use soap with cream in it during the wash (acts a lubricant), but just washing with water and a wash rag works well too.<br />I would recommend this shaver to anyone looking for a quality unit. If you are already a Norelco rotary shaver user, then you will find this model to be a nice upgrade.<br />Bobzt<br />Engineer
0 dollars spent since 1st facial hair growth
My mom gave me this as a gift from about 10 years ago. It's an amazing device. I originally complained to my mom when I started growing facial hair and before I could start buying disposable razors - she gave me this. Thanks mom - I've never had to spend a dime for facial shaving products.<br /><br />PROs<br />- good battery life<br />- durable, I've dropped it a few times and actually broke the swivel notch for the trimmer but used crazy glue to repair it - I dropped it again so the notch is loose but seems to be swiveling open/close fine<br />- make and finish is amazing, no signs of wear and tear, the plastic or material used is perfect for hair or water<br />- it's easy to clean even when hair gets inside the cracks, just need to tap it a few times and it comes out - unless you want to open the device with some torx screw driver<br />- easy to take apart for extensive cleaning<br />- you can take it for travelling easily<br />- you can shave while it's charging<br /><br />CONs<br />- even after over 10 years, nothing comes to mind<br /><br />So impressed with this brand that I'm looking into their new 3d models. I would recommend this shaver even now competing with the newer models. I think I'm going to rebuild mine and keep it as a back up. It's still available in certain sites even in 2011.
Norelco
I find the product performs well and holds a charge well into 4 days. It does take a break-in period for your face and the razor. You have to stick with it through an "uncomfortable" period. Overall a very good product.
