Summary: Didn't last long...
Comment: Gave this as a gift to my elderly father-in-law. It lasted about a month, and would no longer run. It is made kind of cheap with plastic, and he may have cleaned it with alcohol or something similar that melted the plastic..

Summary: Norelco 6853XL razor
Comment: This is a very low end Norelco razor that I would not recommend. It is not compatable with other Norelco accessories, such as cutting heads, chargers, etc.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfectly fine for the price
Comment: As noted, you just change the blades every year or so to get "like new" performance. I actually get about 18 months out of them, but I do not have a very heavy beard. I like the fact that you can leave it plugged in and not damage the battery. As with many folks here, I get 8-9 shaves per charge. I always let it drain almost completely before recharging.
Also: Amazon is the place to get the replacement blades, especially with free shipping. Just can't depend on Walmart, etc. to have them.

Summary: Good Shave - For Electric Shaver
Comment: Convenient to use, good battery life, good shave for an electric shaver, but still not as good as a blade. Also a little hard to use at edges, such as sideburns, under and around nose.

Summary: it's a great shaver but doesn't solve the world's problems
Comment: This is my 3rd Norelco in 15 years, and I've been pleasantly surprised by it. I wasn't expecting the best, given the range of modest complaints and criticisms in these online reviews. Apparently, the availability of the online forum prompts nitpicking like never before; in the end, the razor is an improvement over past models at a great price. Yes, it has a battery that needs recharging. Yes, it is made in China. But in the end, it performs great - close shave, great with long stubble, no problems cleaning up. If you're familiar with older Norelcos, you'll find it a little lighter than before with a substantially better shave. I can't really imagine how a >$100 model could be better.
