Philips Norelco Speed 8240 Men's Shaving System

 (3 customer reviews)

I tried out the Norelco 8420 Mens shaver for two weeks. It shaved smoothly and cleanup was very good, using hot running water after I was through with the shaver. However, I found out that the shaver did not have enough stored shave power, even after fully charging it, to finih my shave. I expected far more from the shaver, considering its good review report. I could not finish a shave before the shaver had run out of charge. It performed well while it was running but fell short on sufficient stored power. Its consideeter shaver selling price should have provided a better shaver.

This is the first electric shaver I have used for 25+ years. The first one didn't work well so I gave up on them, then when I had to shave everyday I wanted to give one a try.
The one thing this shaver lacks is a way to tell how much battery is left. The booklet said to only charge when needed but how do you know when it's needed? It died in the middle of a shave the other day but I was able to plug it in and finish.
Otherwise it works great!

This electric razor cuts short and long hair well plus a battery charge lasts for many shavings and it has a fast recharge.
