4.0 out of 5 stars Good Electric Razor, November 24, 2009

I purchased this Norelco 8140XL razor because my old Norelco model would not run anymore. I needed a good reliable razor. I selected this model because it was a Norelco, it was economical and it included a "low charge" light. In my occupation, I am on the road most of the time, and my old razor did not have a low battery indicator. So I had to leave it plugged in most of the time, because I could not risk a bad battery right when I needed a shave. With this model, I only have to plug it in when the "low charge" light comes on. Hopefully, this will result in a longer-lasting battery since it will only be charged when it needs to be, and I do not have to guess when to plug it in. So far I am very happy with its performance (I have had it 3 weeks) and am quite satisfied with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed a new razor., June 26, 2010

I needed a new razor as the battery on the old razor finally gave up the ghost. After much research and reading many reviews, I chose this razor. I've had the razor for a bit over a month and have charged it twice.

It looks good on the bathroom counter while taking up little space standing in it's counter top holder, has a strong motor, no fancy whistles or bells and doesn't bog down when giving you a shave. I find that I have to pass it over my hard to shave facial areas several times more than I would expect but very comfortable and no razor burn. For me, a clean, satisfying shave which is what it's all about day-after-day, six/seven days a week. The razor holds a charge for over a week and makes for an excellent travel razor you can depend on.

Expensive? Maybe. But when you go into a drugstore to find an electric razor, junk stuff costs three-quarters of what this costs. So, for the price, considering the alternatives on today's drugstore shelves, money well spent. After over a month of using this tiger, I won't hesitate to give this razor a big thumbs up recommendation.

Hope the above helps.
