Great shave
My husband and my son both have this razor. They love it!! Nice smooth shave ( as I can attest too!)
Excelent Product
I have used a Norelco shaver for many years. The 8160 SpeedXL is the best of the Norelco shavers I have used. It provides a close shave in a short amount of time. The unit is also much lighter than previous models I have used. Some of the reviews I read prior to the purchase did cause me to question whether I would like this model, but my concerns vanished when I actually used the shaver.
Great razor!
Feels great, doesn't take long to get used to at all. Much closer cut that the regular electric (cheap) norellco i had before!<br /><br />the self cleaning also works very well, even when i thought it was clean i would run self cleaner and you can see all the stuff that comes off of it! a clean like this would be impossible to do manually, it definitely worth the extra money for the upgrade.
Great Shaver
I have always used Norelco Shavers and this one I truly enjoyed what a amooth comfortable shave I get with this razor. I love the idea that it can clean itself makes life very easy. I would truly recommend this razor.
Great combo of price, performance, and features
First let me say I don't have thick facial hair and can almost get away with shaving every other day. My very first shaver was a Norelco -- since then I've tried razors (not worth the effort or cuts) and foil shavers (not a close shave and I have to go over areas, especially under the chin, over and over again). Since I don't have to shave much, I didn't want to spend much on a shaver, so I tried a Braun 1775 and I just got tired of the noise, vibration, and rough shave. Plus, the foil head is too delicate and gets damaged easily (I went through 2). I decided to go back to a Norelco, did some research and found the 8160XLCC. The price was reasonable and it had the features I wanted, especially the charge level indicator lights. I've had it for a couple of months now and I really love it -- it gives me a quick, close, comfortable shave, it's quiet and has good battery life, and you can clean it by running it under the tap without taking anything apart. It's also more comfortable to hold than the foil shaver. Also, the rotary heads are indestructible compared to foil shavers. Haven't used the cleaning system, doesn't really seem necessary.
Shaver's great, cleaner silly
First I would like to say that this is the best Norelco I've used, and I have been using many of them over the last 30 years. However, the cleaning device is poorly conceived and cheaply executed. The biggest weakness is that it is not a "smart" charger, and does not stop charging when full. This shaver is actually a lithium battery, which means run it all the way down after it's first full charge, then keep it topped off, like a laptop. The cleaner liquid itself is super. I tried different soapy water and alcohol solutions and all of them resulted in worse shaves.<br /> My protocol is to rinse the shaver under water right after shaving, to get rid of most of the hairs. Then I dip it briefly into a small container with the cleaning solution, then rinse it again. Works like a charm, and the cleaner device went to the trash. BTW, this is now a clearance item, so shop around.<br /><br />Update: I was wrong about the shaver it is a smart charger and so you can leave it plugged in all the time.
Improved, and a great shaver
I have been using various shavers for over 40 years. I have tried most of the major brands. In the past, I preferred the Remington because it is powerful and fast. But the Remington irritates my skin. The Braun is less powerful and less irritating, but still irritating. I had previously used the Norelco Rotary, perhaps 15 years ago, but it was too slow and not close enough. However, although most shavers remain pretty much the same over the years, this Norelco is a giant step improved above prior models. It shaves faster, and is much easier to clean. The old Norelco was difficult to clean. This shaver can be cleaned very well just with hot water. However, I use soap as the lubricant. (If you use oily stuff, marketed as various pre-shaves, which basically puts a film of oil on your face, there will be a tendency for the gunk to accumulate under the blades. I recommend just using ordinary soap.) This new model of Norelco has larger blades, and better shape, allowing for a closer and faster shave. Also, it is much quieter than the back and forth models. Think of the inefficiency of ramming the blades of an ordinary shaver back and forth. The rotary energy here more efficiently and quietly goes to shaving the beard. As I have aged, my beard has become less dense. If you have a tough beard, and a thick beard, you may prefer an alternative. However, if you want a close shave, from a quiet mechanism, which is relatively easy to clean, I recommend this Norelco. You may not need the well designed cleaning bay, and may prefer just the shaver and charger. I hardly use the cleaning system because just hot water works so well, using soap as a lubricant. Interesting, the brochure recommends just a clean, dry face. I have found that soap works better. Anyway, I would recommend this shaver as one of the best available. And the long trial period suggests the manufacturer's own confidence in its product.
Son loves it
Got this awhile back for my son and he still uses it and loves it was a great buy.
