 Great razor November 10, 2008
This is the 3rd Norelco I have had. I love it. It is similar to the XL model I had before and I use both in the shower. I use a wet razor first, with shaving cream, although I don't have to and I finish with the electric.
This razor sounds like it is running slower than my old one, but it cuts faster and smoother. It has more cutting area on the heads.
I love it.
The Best Shaver I have ever owned October 28, 2008
I am 65 years old and have owned several electric shavers throughout my life but this is by far the best ever. I've had Schick's and Braun's and they have always given me a burn and I was not satisfied with the closeness of the shave. I have owned several older Norelco's, and with the floating heads they were comfortable, but still electric shaving wasn't close enough especially for formal outing, but I would use it for work. Over the years my batteries became weak so I decided to upgrade to the 8140xl. What a difference! Light as a feather, great improvement in the floating heads, comfortable enough to make shaving a delight, and a much closer shave. The water cleaning (though I still Prefer the old fashion way & clean with a brush), charging stand, looks and feel etc. are all additional perks, but the real quality in this machine is the close shave and comfort of use. Hats off to you Philips, I have no idea of how you can improve upon this shaver. Also, have been using it now for almost two weeks on a single charge and still going. Fantastic!!
Still have to improve, but is better than I expected October 24, 2008
I hope some day eletric shavers will be as good as regular blades, but I have to be honest that this Philips Norelco 8140XL was better than I expected. No irritation of the skin, time gain (I shave in the car), fast battery recharge (it lasts for an hour or so) and, above all, clean face are the topics that made me really like it.
Good Shaver October 24, 2008
I have had another norelco for years. The blades have worn out and buying a new razor is almost the same cost as replacing the head so I got the 8140. Noreclos still work much better than other electrics. Have not had a bad one yet.
Shaves well, but could be better October 21, 2008
I have used this razor daily for around three months now. At first, there were a couple of hairs it always missed, but now it gets them all and overall it has given a very good shave; I hadn't realized electric razors could be so good.
Two small hassles, though: (1) There is very little warning that the battery is low and about to run out. If you notice that the speed has dropped slightly, you have maybe a minute at most before it stops dead. (2) The metal sprung hinge attaching the razor head assembly to the main unit has become loose enough that in mine the base of the hinge detaches from the main unit far too easily and is a bit of a pain to wedge back in, meaning that cleaning it is suddenly much more of a chore. For this price, I'd have expected better build quality.
