Customers like the battery life of the electric shaver. They say it lasts weeks on the 2 AA batteries that are included. Some like the fact that it's battery operated so there's no cord to remember to bring. The s have replaceable batteries, which eliminate the problem of having to carry a charger cable.

743 customers mention516 positive227 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the electric shaver. Some mention that it sas well, and provides a decent close sand that the blades are good and sharp. However, others say that it was a bit slower after 14 days, and the motor sounds like it is running slow. On the downside, the blade spins slower to save battery life.

"...and you invest the effort in sharpening the blades, it can last for years and years - thereby being a much more ecological choice than any razor..." Read more

"...It is overly engineered and under stressed...." Read more

"...After 4 or 5 weeks the motor sounds like it is running slow and I was tempted to change the batteries...." Read more

Nearly perfect. Very quiet, and yet the shave is close and comfortable. Battery life (see estimate below) is also good. Taking a star off for these reasons:1) It works slowly. Must move the shaver around my face in slow motion to get a good coverage, very tiring. I managed to improve this slightly with a lithium battery. See my note and picture below.2) Not "travel" friendly as far as packing is concerned. It is not small. The "ergonomic" shape does not fit well with other toiletries. The protective cap is too loose, may come off while your luggage gets tossed around.As far as battery life is concern, it varies depending on how long you run it each day. I measured current draw by the shaver using a multimeter, which gave a theoretical run time of about 300 minutes on a pair of alkaline AA. However, the shaver will become intolerably slow as the voltage drops that one would probably replace the batteries before all their juices are gone. So 200 minutes is closer, giving 100 days of service for 2 minutes/day runs, or 40 days for 5 minutes/day and so on.Personally, I was not satisfied with the slowness. so I did a Li-ion (rechargeable) upgrade. A single Li-ion cell is 3.6V, which is greater than 2 AA's 1.5V+1.5V=3V combination. The shaver sounds a lot more vigorous with the lithium, and I can move the shaver around faster. As a bonus, I get a warm sensation because the cutting head is now warm from the extra speed. Note that one Li-ion AA (14500) cell replaces both regular AA. A "dummy" AA occupies the other slot (see picture). Warning though, the shaver and/or shave head will likely lie sooner. Battery life will also be shorter because one rechargeable lithium AA has only a third of the juice from two alkaline AA.
