I bought this shaver to replace my old Norelco shaver that I'd been using for many years, and that finally broke. This one was about double the price of that one, but I'm very disappointed to have to deal with the large "cleaning system" that came with the new shaver. The picture on Amazon shows the shaver in a cute little stand; the reality is that it comes with a huge cleaning stand that I have no room for. It seems the electric shaving folk want to get into the razor/razor blades game, by selling cleaning solution for the shavers. I'm not sure how important this is; my old one lasted very well with just a weekly "dry clean". It also seems environmentally unfriendly to be wasting some water every day, and throwing out a plastic bottle every month or so.
In addition to the cleaning stand being bulky, a terrible design decision is that you can't leave the shaver plugged into it, because it will harm battery life. Having something this big is bad enough, but having to unplug it all the time is ridiculous.
The packaging is the old horrible packaging, with unopenable plastic over everything, not the new Amazon environmentally friendly packaging.
On the other hand, the shaver works as well as the old one, and you can just ignore the cleaning stand if you want, since the recharger can plug directly into the shaver. I'd probably be perfectly happy with the shaver if it had come that way; the extra stuff just seems wasteful.

I just got the 8260 Norelco to replace my other 2 shavers(a Braun 8995 and a Panasonic Nano). This shaver is superior to both of my prior shavers,and here's why:
1.There is the noise issue.The Panasonic was annoyingly loud, the Braun was quite noisy, but the 8260 is very quiet.This may seem trivial,but it is nice to shave in peace.
2.The 8260 shaver truly shaves in one or two passes, and is completely non-irritating from the get-go. The Panasonic gets a little burny on the tough spots,and must be held at a specific angle to perform with it's angled blade technology and that is very annoying. The Braun requires multiple passes everywhere.Neither of the 2 foil razors EVER shaved my neck sufficiently, but the Norelco 8260 does an outstanding job there.I know they say a foil shaver shaves closer, but the Norelco far out-performs these 2 foils.
3.The build quality of of the Norelco and Braun are very solid, but the Panasonic seems cheap and flimsy.Also,replacement blades are cheaper on the Norelco,and you can't even find Panasonic replacements anywhere, so you have to order them from their site.
4.They all come with cleaning stands, which are gimmicky junk,in my opinion,but the Norelco version is the nicest.I wouldn't have bought any of these with the cleaning system,but these were either gifts or the same price with the claning stands. If I could save $40 or $50 bucks,I'd buy a model that didn't come with the cleaner (Braun 8975 or Norelco 8240).
5. The Panasonic allows wet shaving in shower or with foam, but I tried it once with foam and it was a mess. I prefer the simplicity of dry shaving.
6. The charge on the Norelco lasts WAAAYYYYYY longer that the other two shavers. It lasts like 2 weeks , and the other two only stay charged for a week
Ultimately I am very impressed and surprised at the shave I get from the Norelco 8260 Rotary shaver. I have always purchased foils due to hearing they shave closer, but I can state clearly that that is not the case with me. I would buy a Braun again( it is very well-made and reliable),but I would not buy a Panasonic.

I have been using Norelco Shavers for over 20 years. I like the way they shave, I like how quiet they are and they are easy to maintain. The 8260 continues the tradition with an incremental improvement in the shave mainly due to the articulating head. Having said that, Norelco should either stop adding "stuff" as peripherals or pay attention their details like they do the shaver. The cleaning system actually cleans it very well; the problem as pointed out by other reviewers is that you are not supposed to leave the shaver charging. You are supposed to let it run low and then recharge to save the battery. Guess what? The cleaning cycle is long ~ 1 hour or so. In the cleaning cycle it charges and I certainly can't wait around to unplug (or flip a lever that disconnects the power to the shaver) it after the cleaning cycle. It couldn't be hard to design the cleaner to not charge the shaver "automagically" except when the user wishes. It is like the two items, the shaver and the cleaner were designed by two different teams that didn't talk to each other. It is truly an astounding design oversight. I'm not sure if there is a version of the shaver without the cleaner. The cleaner isn't really necessary and it does take up lots of counter space, it consumes expensive cleaning agent, and takes a plug (a rare commodity in my bathroom). I give it four stars because it shaves well and subtract two stars for the stupid cleaner design but add one back for the travel power off system that locks the power button so it won't turn on in your luggage. I hope Philips reads these reviews and takes note of them -- it boggles the mind that the design is so flawed from a company that does so many things so well.
