started great but went down in experience [SEP] if you are expecting shave which is closer to blade then stop no rotary shaver will ever will do that i have used rotary shavers for last years for beard and i purchased this product with those expectations only i bought this product for its high ratings blades vs blades and digital display for battery life i bought it for my head not face i still use my norelco for beard and quite happy with itit started pretty good and deserved all the high ratings when i started using it new blades seem better than four but now i feel four is more practical it is pain to open blades for cleaning i can still manage outer four with little effort but middle on is pain in fingers you are supposed to push outer blades backwards and open those first and then rotate middle one counter clock wise to open it but there is no grip to do that it is just too small and flushed with bottom surface same happens when you try to put it back after cleaning guys stick with bladesbattery this is where it let me down after months of use battery and its digital display worked just fine for a month and a half and then out of blue it went from to in the middle of shave then after a few days i turned off shaver after use with battery level of and couple of days later it will not turn on and forced me to charge you cannot use this shaver plugged in so if battery dies on you you would need about an hour before you can use it again i wish i had that luxury in morningnow after months of use i can hear freshly washed cleaned shaver struggling even in air does not look like it will last very longi feel that i did not get the worth of money i spent on this product
