best electric i have had [SEP] this norelco actually made by philips one was bought to replace an older shaver i have used norelco philips and panasonics over the years this one is more efficient faster better shave than my older one and an amazingly amount quieter what do you know this time new and improved really is accuratewhat i like the pop up trimmer is only fair it works but it is actually not as effective as the one on my old shaver the deep well holding the head rotors shafts is not so easy to clean with a brush particularly with the hinged head they are still using a non user replaceable nicd battery the gimmicky cutter head plate section with holes seems merely that gimmicky not useful for any real shavingtips this is a very good easy to use quick and quiet electric shaver the best i have ever used it packs easily for travel and though it is a bit finnicky to clean i like it because it does the job i need it to do given the several deficits i would never give it four stars if not for how it handles its ultimate function shaving my beard
