Looks good and shaves well. Charges last a long time. Cleans up quick. My last Panasonic shaver lasted 5+ years. This looked brand new.

Panasonic ES8807 Retro Wet & Dry Shaver (factory refurbished)

Great shaver at a great price. The shaver has a nice look and feel. It's very compact and light making it easy to pack for travel. It takes less than an hour to reach full charge and seems to hold the charge for a long time.
I bought another one because I liked it so much and wanted one as a backup in case it malfunctions down the road and because it's cheaper to buy a refurb than to replace the cutter blades and outer foil, which will cost about $62 compared to the refurb for $50.

small power razor

have had some 6 other types of Panasonic wet/dry shaves but love this one
because it is small, charges quickly and has the more powerful motor. I
love it.

What a great little razor

Don't pay attention to the price, it is NOT indicative of the quality of this razor. After my second Norelco died in the last year I decided to try something else and the price on this was too good to pass up. I was a little worried about going from rotary to foil but the shave is just as close and I love its wet/dry ability. The only drawback for this razor is the motor is a bit loud as compared to rotary razors I have used but this is easily ignored when put up against the great performance and price.

Panasonic es8807

Great shaver. Had to replace other panasonic shaver due to poor battery. I was reluctant to buy a refurbished shaver but the price was right. When I got it, I was surprised it looked brand new(they replace the screen/blades). Great performance shaving in the shower. (I have a heavy beard.)So far the battery is excellent, Im getting at least 6 shaves per charge.

Flex 360 Cord/Cordless Rotary Shaver

Customer Review :

Very disappointing product R-5130 Shaver

Have loved the old Microflex R 845 and 850's. The R-5130 is very poor; (1) Clunky (2) Shaving heads pop off in use...cutters, springs etc fly out on the floor. (3)extra large charging mechanism (4) NO carrying case (?) for $61, and mainly,(4) the cleaning instructions are nuts..."daily flush with water" leaves agglutinated stubble debris stuck in the heads...meaning daily manual cleanout.
Very disappointing product. I will send this note to the Remington company also.(and try and find another old R-845...has lasted about 8 years, and continues to function just fine).

Close, fast shave

The Remington Flex360 family of electric razors includes the R-4130, R-5130, and the R-7130. The high-end R-7130 sells for around $80 on Amazon, the R-5130 for $55, while the low-end model, R-4130, goes for $44 on Amazon. The difference among the models is the charging system. There is also a charging stand available for $10. These are all competitive prices. However, the true test of a razor is how well it shaves.

Over the years, I have used electric razors manufactured by Remington, Braun, and Norelco. I have found that the Flex360 gives me a close uniform shave which is the equal of the best that I have had. It also does this in about three minutes, half the time of that of my previous razor, a rotary of Norelco of similar design. So, I can get to work a few minutes earlier, or maybe better, sleep a few minutes later.

The total cost over the life of an electric razor must include that of replacement cutting heads. The SP-5161 head for the R-5130 and the R-7130 sells for $27 on Amazon, while the SP-3141 head for the R-4130 is $21. These are equal to or lower than the prices of replacement heads for other razors. The instruction booklet suggests replacing the heads every twelve months. That may be optimistic since I have had to buy replacement heads for other razors after around six months. However, it could work out to twelve months since the time per shave is only three minutes, much lower than for the others that I have used.

This is an excellent shaver and I am very pleased with its performance. It is smooth and shaves very close and the trimmer works well.

Just as described, and the usual high quality you can expect from Remington. Fits comfortably in your hand and provides a consistently smooth shave.

Great Shaver

I've owned dozens of Remington shavers over the years and this model was the best operating one I've had. Its motor runs fast and it gives a clean and close cut with its full triple-header shave.

My last #1700 broke (I'm reviewing my second of the same model here) and I purchased the supposed upgrade a MS-5200 (see my review on that here at Amazon) and was really unhappy. I ended up searching out this model again and am as pleased with the second one as the first.

My only concern might be with the reliability of the shaver as my first one only lasted 3 years before it broke internally. The cost to have it repaired was more than purchasing a new one.

Editorial Review :

Philips Norelco Arcitec Shaving System model 1090 With a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer. Arcitec's 'central drive' technology makes it possible to design an ultra slim ergonomic body that fits snugly in your hand -- making it more comfortable to hold and effortless to use. The central drive technology connects all rotary blades to the shaving motor using only one spindle (axle) for a more comfortable grip.

Not worth the money

For a razor costing over $200, this thing doesn't come close to what it should be able to do.

My razor doesn't shave hairs past 2mm, and even the small hairs sometimes do not get shaved completely. I gave this razor to my friend and he had the same experience - it might shave 80% of tiny hairs on the first try if you dont sit there and rotate the thing for 5 minutes and use the back trimmer (which works better than the razor)


NOTHING beats the $5 Gillette razor so far.


IMO, not worth what I paid. Might be worth $80.

Absolutely the best razor I have ever had!

Lightweight, fits my hand very comfortably, and most importantly the best shave I have ever had. Travels well protected in the new "pod" it comes with, is light weight to help with travel restrictions, and the charge held for three full weeks! The only downside, if there is one, is that the trimmer is small and behind the head making it a little hard to see and use. Outstanding, easy to clean razor, with the best shave I have ever had.

Norelco Arcitec 1090 excellant razor

I have always been a Norelco razor user. I have tried others but they're never as good. I went to the 1090 because I liked the design and weight, and the fact that you can clean it with water without taking it apart. It has lived up to my expectations! It cuts well, cleans easily, and contours to my face while shaving. It doesn't leave any low stubble! I would recomend it to anyone!

Editorial Review :

The Philips Norelco 7180XL Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver is loaded with features that deliver a superior shaving experience. This water-resistant shaver features a reflex action system that adjusts to every curve of your face. Designed with floating heads to align the blades closer to your skin, the 7180XL allows you take full advantage of Norelco's Lift & Cut Technology for an ultra-close, smooth shave. And no shaver would be complete without a full-width, pop-up trimmer to define and shape your moustache and sideburns. The 7180XL also has a hair collection chamber to help keep your bathroom counter free of unwanted hair, and the washable stainless steel razor heads are a breeze to clean. Simple and reliable, this comfortable-grip shaver can be fully charged in less than an hour, and the handy LED charging indicator means you'll never unexpectedly run out of power. But if you do run out of juice, don't fret, the 7180XL has a six-minute Quick Charge feature that will give you enough power to finish your shave in a pinch.

Nice Shaver! (Belongs to my husband...I use it, too!)

I bought this about 14 months ago for a birthday gift for my husband. He has used it every day since.

My husband has thick, coarse, fast-growing facial hair. He never skips a day.

This shaver works great! Holds a charge. Shaves him smooth. Rinses clean.

I've never heard him complain.

When my husband isn't looking, I shave my legs with this. :) It's fast & easy and it works just great!!

I definitely recommend this.

Great shave for a little money

For years I had a Norelco razor and when it broke (beyond repair) I decided to try a Remmington. Bad, bad, bad mistake! After three months of poor shaves and tender, red skin (razor burn) I bought a Norelco 7180. My skin no longer looks razor burned, I get a close shave (no need to "touch-up" before we go out in the evening) and the razor is very quiet, no loud buzzing sound.

Great Customer Service, Terrible Product

I have used nothing but Norelco for 15-20 years. Great shavers.

I bought the 7180 last November. The battery gave out 2-3 months later (no, I did not overcharge). They sent a new shaver. About 1 month later, I was tapping the razor on the sink to shake out the shavings and the battery (I assume) was knocked out of position. The shaver stopped working. They sent a new one. About 1 month later, the shaver just stopped working for no known reason. They sent a new one. The new one has worked 6+ months. This week, it just stopped working.

Up until now, I have had nothing but great experiences with Norelco. I'm sure if I asked for a new razor, they'd give me one. I'm just tired of having them break. I don't think I was abusive to these shavers.

Not recommended for those with sensitive skin

This shaver was recommended to me by a friend and on the first day it shaves beautifully. My skin felt very smooth; but, after the next few days my hair growing back caused bumps. I had this problem with other shavers, but never to the extent that occurred using this shaver. I don't know why this shaver (which again, originally caused such a smooth shave) would mess up my face so much more than other shavers.

I give this shaver a 3 because I'm not sure if the shaver's the problem or my skin because it works great for my friend. In the end, it might just be me.
