4.0 out of 5 stars Great Budget Shaver..., December 27, 2008

By 

BigBehemoth "Mark" (ARIZONA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips Norelco 7310 Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)

This is the 4th electric shaver that I have owned and the 2nd rotary type. I have owned the top of the line shaver from Panasonic, as well as mid-range units from Braun and Remington.

The same thing has happened every time in the past. I give it two to three months and then I am back to a disposable razor that can shave closer, with less hassle, and less irritation. The number one reason each time for going back to a disposable was how the electric shaver failed to handle my neck hair. None of them seemed to be able to the job no matter what and then the hassle on the units I had that had an expensive cleaning unit made it a pain to use.

Well I got the bug again to try an electric razor one more time and ended up purchasing this unit. And now after having it for a while I have to say that this is the best electric shaver that I have had. First and foremost it can handle my neck. It can't get it all in one pass, but the others couldn't do it no matter how many times I tried! Second, being able to just rinse the head under the sink is wonderful. No more cleaning systems that are bulky and expensive with the continual cost of the cleaning solution. Third, is that it is a surprisingly close shave. I kind of expected a 5 o'clock shadow by noon with a rotary shaver, but that isn't the case here. It is very close to a shave with a razor, NO KIDDING!

It isn't the perfect electric razor, but it is more than worth the price. There are only two things that stick out with me that could have been done better and both are related to charging. First, it takes 8 hours to charge the unit from being almost dead, with no quick charge capabilities. You can get around it by just using it plugged in when you are in the middle of the charge. Second, is that there is no battery level indicator. It would be nice to have some sort of idea of how much of a charge you have left.

In my book, these are just two minor issues that aren't that important to me, but keep me from giving it 5 stars. I have and will continue to recommend this unit to friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value; avoid the more expensive ones, November 14, 2009

By 

foiegras "foiegras" (Ketchum, ID United States) - See all my reviews

I bought one of these six months ago and it works as well as any of the more expensive Norelco Shavers I've owned over the years (quite a number of them).

The more expensive ones charge faster, and might give information about how much usage time remains, but aside from that they have essentially no advantages.

I have a much more expensive one that lasted about 2.5 years and stopped holding a charge. Out of curiosity I took the thing apart (requires a small hex screwdriver), with the hope that I could replace the rechargeable batteries myself. What I found inside was essentially a very cheaply made product containing very cheap components (and this was one of the Norelco Razors made in Holland, that cost around $100). All the moving parts are made of plastic, and the batteries were two AA NiCads soldered in place. Some of the newer and more expensive Norelcos now have Lithium batteries. Anyone familiar with Lithium batteries knows that although they charge quickly and hold a lot of charge, when new, they degrade quickly and can become unusable in as little as a year or two.

Based upon what I saw inside of the more expensive razor, I would treat all Norelcos as disposable items not expected to last more than a couple of years, 3 at the outside. This is not your grandfather's Norelco razor; cost and quality have been engineered OUT. Given this, I'd go with a cheap one like this one I'm rating, because the function is essentially identical, and when it dies on you, you can toss it without feeling like you got ripped off.

The (replaceable) heads on this razor will last about as long as the razor itself (Norelco says to change them in a year but they will last a lot longer than that with acceptable performance). Anyone who has bought replacement Norelco heads knows that they cost almost as much as this razor, which is another additional expense you can avoid if you buy this razor then toss it when either the internal batteries, or the heads, die on you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Shaver, October 10, 2008

By 

Art (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips Norelco 7310 Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)

****Please note that I decided to tighten and revise this review, as I have had this razor for several years. I would now give it 4 stars for quality, 5 stars for value. My initial opinion was too negative.

This shaver provides a fairly standard Norelco (i.e. 3 head rotary shaver) shave. This is my third Norelco (well second, but I bought a third one recently), and by far the lowest priced one I've owned. If you like the Norelco shave, I think this is an excellent value. Of course, many prefer the Braun/Phillips type single head razors, but it seems there is no way to tell who will prefer which. If you have never tried a Norelco, this would be a good model to try because of the low price.

I now have an 8345 (which is the same as the 8340 but comes with extra heads) in addition to this one. The 8345 may be more money and newer, but they look, feel and shave fairly similarly. 8345 has more holes on the heads (can only be good I guess) but the motor sounds like it runs a lot slower. They seem to shave about as well, but the cheaper 7310 actually seems a bit gentler on the face (maybe because the 8345 has more holes but runs slower).

The 7310 feels generally solid enough and comfortable in the hand. Feels like all the Norelco's do, more or less. The pop up trimmer seems reasonably solid, and functions like all of these pop-up trimmers do. It will shave your sideburns, but you may or may not be satisfied with it. Nature of the beast.

The plug is also a little on the large side, which could be an issue for traveling, though not that bad really. I dont think it came with a travel case, but I could have misplaced it.

The battery cannot be changed easily because its welded in. At $40-50 for the razor, I suppose that is not a huge issue, but its not a plus factor either. I think this is true of all Norelcos.

This razor does hold a charge for quite a while, its good for several shaves without a recharge. However, there is no charge indicator at all. There is a green light that comes on when the razer is on, and another green light when its plugged in, but nothing changes as the battery gets low that I can see. You know it needs a charge when the motor starts to slow. A 5 or 10 minute emmergency charge is fine, so its not a great problem.

About the only difference between this razor and the $100+ Norelco I used to own was that the expensive one had a battery charge indicator. Maybe there was more metal and less plastic in the more expensive one, but...so what?

I have had this razor for 2 1/2 years, and use it about every other day. Maybe the battery doesnt last as long and the heads are duller, but its nothing I notice. I have put 0 money in it, and it still works well and compares well to my other electric razors.

Verdict: good shaver if you like Norelco's, and a bargain at $40-50. Spending more money is recommended if you want a batter charge indicator, but beyond that, not clear to me what you get for your extra money. If you like the Braun-type razors better, I dont know of any reason why this one would convert you, but I can otherwise recommend this razor pretty strongly.
