Great product for the money August 19, 2008
This shaver has a nice balance between cost and features. I really like the ability to clean it with tap water. It's very quiet and gives a very nice share. I've had it about 4 weeks and have only charged it once so far. No, I don't use it every day, about 3 or 4 times a week.
I'm happy with my purchase and I'm glad I didn't spend twice the money for a shaver with a bunch of features I really didn't need.
 NOT MEANT FOR A MAN'S BEARD? August 18, 2008
Not sure who can get a close shave from this, but after buying this, it leaves me with a nice Don Johnson look. I may be on the thicker beard side of things, but I would expect this to atleast "speed" through to a nice close shave, etc. Even after putting a large amount of pressure on my skin, it appears these plastic razor blades still would not get a close shave. I have an older Norelco (metal blades) that has always done a decent job (but never as good as an old-fashioned manual razor shave), but nonetheless efficient. This newer version, however, is an extreme disappointment. I think they tried to save $ on materials, and ultimately killed the quality or usefulness.
Very good but not perfect August 17, 2008
Shaves much quicker than anything I've used. It has a hard time getting a couple spots on my face though.
Great Razor but "Automatic Charging" IS NOT Automatic August 17, 2008
This is my first electric razer since shaving with a blade for the past 20+ years. I really like the convenience of shaving without cream, water, etc. The razor is nice and light and is very comfortable shaving. With a little practice, it gives a nice, clean shave. So far, I have not required any pre or post shaving lotion/cream to stay comfortable. It's also very easy to clean the heads..just put them under running water and out comes the hair. My only gripe is the "automatic charging" claim. Everytime you want to charge the razor, you have to plug it in. They recommend unplugging the charger when not in use because it shortens the battery life otherwise. It would be nice if you could just leave it plugged in and forget about it. However, so far it recharges very quickly, only taking about 15 minutes 1x/week and the "full charge" blinky light tells you when to unplug it. A previous review reported using it for 3 weeks without charging. If you run the battery dead, it takes only 3 minutes charging for 1 shave, so you don't have to worry about the charge state too much. Besides that one gripe, it's a great razor and I highly recommend it. While shaving with a blade I was skipping days because of the hassle. Now it's a shave every day, and I actually look forward to shaving!
 Could not be more satisfied August 16, 2008
The 8140XL shaver was purchased to replace an older and very tired Norelco triple head shaver which had served me well. The new Phillips/Norelco out performs that one tenfold. It is quicker and closer shaving, saving me precious time in the morning when preparing for work. I was so impressed by its efficiency that I bought one for my 18 year old son. He was equally satisfied.
