This Review Title is not the perfect shaver and the content is: I have been using Philips/ Norelco shavers for the past 12 years; and for the past 5 years, I have been using the 8894 model. for no good reason, I wanted a change and assumed that the new Philips Norelco 1090 would be more improved than the 8894.<br />I was wrong.<br />These are the highlights of the 1090 in comparison to the 8894<br />1. Louder.<br />2. less power; 65 minutes verses 100 minutes<br />3. the shave is not better; practically the 8894 shaves closer.<br />4. Plastic casing; 8894 had a leather travel case.<br />5. Slightly lighter than the 8894.<br />6. All the 10 series, rate the same<br />Bottom line if you have been using the 8894 and want a change; my advice is stick to your old shaver and save the money. If you are buying a new shaver, go for the 7810 instead, as the 8894 is no longer in stock..There are other information for this review, one is This reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 1 people think this review is helpful.
