2.0 out of 5 stars Corporate Greed Ruins Good Shaver..., June 10, 2007

The shave I get with this is fine, but be warned: The Norelco SpeedXL series has a built in blade life. Once Norelco thinks you need to change the blades (and they tend to think you should spend the $36 more often than you will want), the shaver disables itself.

The way it does this is that it turns on the "change blade" warning LED. And this LED uses so much power that it drains the batteries in just over one day. Worse yet, the shaver will not operate unless the battery is charged, so this results in a dead shaver until you replace the blades.

Way to go Norelco. I used to be a big fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars This shaver failed after one month's useI, February 5, 2008

This is the third Norelco Phillips Norelco shaver I have used. The first two were very good.
This one is very bad. I bought it in Wal-Mart, San Antonio, Texas, January 2008. I took it to Mexico, where it failed February 1, 2008. A light grey plastic part that supports & aligns one cutting head broke. I am still in Mexico, & don't have the orignial package, etc. to return it under guarantee. But I do want to warn future buyers (& sellers) that internal plastic parts are fragile. The Jet Clean System is also ridiculous.
