I was excited to get it the day it arrived, but was disappointed with the contents of the box, which made me feel like I got ripped off. Basically it was the shaver, charging adapter and hard case, and this silly container of cleaning fluid. I use to sell electric shavers in high school back in 1980 at Fedco, and I knew what the blue fluid was. I'm still trying to figure out if I should throw it away or keep it. Like I need more stuff in my drawers. Back to the shaver in general. The blades are super smooth with that special outer coating, and doesn't cause razor burn for me wet or dry. The shave quality is as close as it gets for a Norelco, in fact even closer than the ones in the 80s. it's easy to hold, and I'm still on the first charge after 3 weeks at 60%. It has cool lights that change colors for some reason, not sure why, but I like it. The trimmer is kind of weird, and doesn't seem to really work that well on side burns, but maybe it's technique. Cleaning it is real easy, and the hard case is nice for storing in the drawer. What I don't like is the control panel, that is always lit. Sort of like the refrigerator light, where you think it's always on and never turns off, reducing battery life. Next the shaver head, where there is all this mass around each blade that extends about a 1/4" out, so when I'm going under my nose, I tend to miss a bit and leave a little stripe. And going under my side burns, can't really tell where the cutting is, but getting better at it now. So it's sort of take the good with the bad for me here, and just settle for this and keep it. Maybe there is a reason for the things I don't like, such as head failure or strength that I didn't consider. As far as my rating goes, I would of given it a 5 at $150 without the cleaning system. I feel like in order for Phillips to maintain margin, they forced me to buy the shaver with the cleaning kit, to get me to purchase cleaning fluid on a subscription basis. I've tried cheaper versions before, but the blades were really rough on my skin.
