Quick, Easy, and Quiet.

My old Norelco died after a couple of years of good service so I pulled out my even older Braun to fill in for it--big mistake. I forgot how deafeningly loud the Braun is. So I went out and got this 7140. It's everything my old Norelco was, but better. For one thing, it's whisper-quiet, which is nice in the mornings. It shaves close without tearing up my face, and it takes far fewer passes than the Braun to get my face fuzz-free. It's essentially waterproof and easy to wash it one out under the tap (the instructions encourage you to do it this way) and get it squeaky clean after every single shave.

Excellent shaver... for a while

I bought one of these and was very happy with it for quite a while (maybe a year or two.) But lately it seems to take forever to get shaved, and when I finally give up, I'm not happy with the result. Sure, blades get dull and all that, but this seems to have happened very quickly compared to previous Norelcos I've owned. I wonder if Philips is joining the stampede of manufacturers going for cheap and substandard? I've just bought a replacement Norelco, and if this one goes the same route, after 20-30 years of Norelcos, it's on to some other model of shaver!

Very nice product

This shaver cuts closer and runs very much quieter than the Remington that it replaced. Chargeing requirement of once a week is a plus.

Good For Price.

DOES A GOOD JOB,EASY TO CLEAN.THE 7140 TURNS AT MUCH SLOWER RATE THAN MY OLD NORELCO.A BETTER BATTERY IS NEEDED.

Good Cost Saving Way To Shave

2008-07-11
Having grown tired of paying up to $12 a month for regular blade razors and shaving cream, I decided it was time to purchase this to save money. I am glad I did. It works just as well as a non-electric razor, if you give it the 21 day test that they recommend. Sometimes I need to go over the neck area again with a regular razor, but overall, I am pleased and will use this as my main mode of shaving. Only drawback: I don't think it has a low charge indicator.

Norelco Shaver

2008-07-08
This razor is the lightest weight Norelco I have ever used and I worry that if I drop it there won't be much to salvage, as far as function it is very quiet and smooth. The battery still hasn't run down after a month of daily shaves. I like the fact you can rinse the head under the faucet, it is a lot quicker than useing the little brush they furnish and does a better job of removing the wiskers.

Five Stars for under 50!

2008-07-06
First of this product is priced under 50 dollars so it is an entry level product. It is my first electric shaver and it works amazingly. At first you will feel skin irritation however after you get used to it there should be none. It shaves closes than the Phenom. After shaving with this you will never switch back to a razor. The battery last a week, while the quick charge is great when it does finally run out. If your looking for a gift for a high school Grad this is what they need. Especially in the dorms take it from me, Nothing helps achieve those grades like a close shave.

I bought one for myself and then 2 more as gifts.

Best Norelco I've Used

2008-07-05
I have been using various models of Norelco triple head rotary razors for over 25 years and this model is giving me the closest shaves that I have had to date. I also appreciate the ease of cleaning the heads under running water. The motor is extremely quiet and has sufficient power to not bog down when handling a two or three day growth of heavy beard. I have only been using this razor for about a month but if if proves to be reliable over the long haul I would recommend this razor to anyone considering switching to or upgrading an electric.
