good value works great [SEP] seems like i have only owned about or shavers throughout my shaving career of years but i still remember an earlier norelco whose ni cad batteries never died my latest norelco seemed to last only about years but it is amazing how each generation of shavers is quieter this is very quiet and almost seems like it is not running very fast but yet it does a great job i have had it about weeks and i am still running on the original charge all my previous norelcos had a plain straight power cord but this one has a small wall wart at the end that is my only complaint i do not like wall warts and would prefer that it be built into the shaver of course that would add some weight overall i am quite pleased and have to wonder if i am missing something by not buying one of the models this was a good deal at amazon but right after i purchased it both wally world and target had them on sale for about
