the best cheap electric shaver you can buy however you get what you pay for though [SEP] update wonderful shaver has recently been pulling my hairs and taking twice as long to shave which is due to the shaving head being dull i went searching for replacement heads for my shaver saw that there used to be some that were sold on amazon but they are out of stock with no confidence that they will be back in stock anytime soon i saw that this shaver was still being sold to this day and for cheaper then before i thought for dollars that would be about the same cost for a replacement head for a cheap shaver might as well buy a new one even if my old one still works i then decided it was time to go and update my review to reflect the longevity i got out of my old shaveronly to discover that it was not year that i have owned my shaver like i thought but years my oh my how time flies that means that i have been shaving on the original cutting head for years thats unheard of for electric shavers holy cow so there is my longevity review guys years still kicking just needs a new head but no replacement head in stock dollars is all i had to pay to buy a new shaver its a no brainer so guys if your looking for a shaver that is going to get the job done this is what you need now if the company can get replacement heads back in stock that would be great but for now you can just buy a new shaver when your head goes dulli am keeping my review at stars i have used several electric shavers in my life all of them being norelco i was never a fan of the two bladed shavers i grow a thick beard and it just takes too long to shave with those things the bladed shavers can be hit or miss depending on brand model norelco used to make quality shavers back in the s and s since phillipss acquisition of the norelco brand however the quality has gone down drastically many reviews complain of underpowered motors motors burning out early and poor shaving quality unless of course you buy the high end dollar model then your in heaven lolthankfully these day we have a choice i do not know about you but i am not in the rich income bracket i cannot just dump dollars into a shaver just to get something that is quality fortunately there are many different types of shavers made in china now that are much more affordable what sold me on this shaver is that it uses a lithium rechargeable battery that can be charged via usb it uses a pretty blue led battery indicator display which shows minutes of run time remainingit uses a standard bladed system with a pop up side burn trimmer it is also easy to pop the blades off and clean them and even though i did not require this feature it is also waterproof the shaver comes with a nice velvet pouch a brush usb cable and a operators manual when i turned the unit on i could not believe how quiet this thing runs most certainly quieter then the old s s norelco models so the question you might be asking is how does it performif all you have is stubble you can expect this to provide a pretty smooth shave within a reasonable amount of time i just did nice and slow rotational movements as you are supposed to do with this type of shaver and it did a pretty good job if you let your beard get beyond a stubble as one would expect it does take longer to get the job done but the shaver was able to do it and seemed to have enough power not just in time duration but also in horse powersince i did not do a wet shave with this i cannot speak as to its effectiveness i bought an electric shaver for the convenience of a dry shave as wet shaving is a pain in the but for me while the water proof rating allows one to simply run the head under the water stream to clean it out i however just used the brush that they supplied and some canned air and it did just as good without fully taking the blades out of the head recharge time is faster then they state when utilizing a powerful anker wall charger that puts out amps i charged my battery from minutes left to minutes left in only minutesin conclusion i believe this to be a very nice electric shaver and for the price i paid for it i expected it to be weaker in construction however that is further from the truth the construction of this shaver is top notch and rivals higher end phillips norelcos in my humble opinion if you need a quality electric shaver that will get the job done and does not break the bank i highly recommend this one out of stars
