Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 1050CC arcitec Men's Shaving System

Customer Review: Plenty of Reasons NOT to buy this razer
Summary: 1 Stars

I have been a loyal Norelco user for 25+ years, but there are so many things wrong with their latest model that I am now trying out all the competitors to see which I should switch to. Because of the following product flaws, my Norelco Arcitec is on its way back to Amazon for a refund.

-Whiskers are not captured in the shaving head, and instead I get a light "rain" of little hairs as I shave. This alone was enough to turn me off of this new model (especially when the wife saw the whisker rain and informed me that the shaver would be leaving the house), but the rest of the problems makes it even worse.

-Charging/cleaning system works well, but the instructions expect you to unplug the base unit after the cycle is complete. For ~$200, I expect to be able to to hit a button, have it do its thing and I don't have to think about the shaver until its time to use it again the next day. The instructions state multiple times that the shaver should not be left to charge once the charge is complete. But - the cleaning cycle takes about 10 minutes and then needs another ~2 hours to dry, implying that the base unit should be unplugged 2 hours after you push the button to start the cleaning cycle. REALLY? - isn't everyone at work by then?

-The hard shell travel case provides good protection (probably needed since the head unit with the blades seems like it could break off). But - the case is so big that I would have to buy a new travel kit just to hold the thing. It would easily take up 1/2 of a standard sized dopp kit.

-Trimmer blade is useless. Mentioned in other reviews...really - it is completely useless.

I DID like the cleaning system and was surprised at how well it worked. Having a freshly cleaned razor every morning is a compelling feature, so I'll be looking for that in the next model I try out. (Braun is looking like a winner).

I was open to experiment and try out this Norelco Arcitec model, but there were just too many problems to justify the cost. Hope they study actual customer feedback and come out with a re-design that makes me want to come back to their brand.

Description of Philips Norelco 1050CC arcitec Men's Shaving System

The Philips Norelco 1050 Arcitec Electric Razor also features a precision cutting system that has ultra thin heads with slots to shave the long hairs and holes to shave even the shortest stubble. Patented tube trimmer technology is perfect for contouring and trimming moustache and sideburns. This razor gives you a perfectly close shave, even on the neck. This razor is ideal for men who only want the very best.
Offering a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer.

The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave -- even on the neck. The new arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas.

Cutting edge innovation doesn't stop with the shaver. The arcitec 1050CC comes with a Jet Clean system, to keep it clean between shaves -- it automatically detects which cleaning program the shaver needs: economy, normal or intensive, and it has active drying to have your shaver ready to go in no time. Beyond cleaning, now you can recharge your shaver while you store it, with the Power Pod travel case that plugs into the wall and protects your investment!

For those sideburns, goatees and moustaches, the new patented precision tube trimmer cuts hairs closer to the skin. This improved performance is due to the tube cutting system moving back and forth capturing every hair. All of these improvements and new introductions make it possible for you to conquer your neck to look and feel your best! Chart your course with the new Philips Norelco arcitec and be confident you're getting a perfectly close shave -- even on the neck.

Flex and Pivot Technology: Three independently flexing heads in a shaving unit that swivels 360 degrees for a full range of motion. This ensures optimum skin contact in curved areas, to catch even the most problematic hairs on your neck for a perfectly close shave, even in the hard to shave places.
?????? State-of-the-Art Design: arcitec's 'central drive' technology makes it possible to design an ultra slim ergonomic body that fits snugly in your hand -- making it more comfortable to hold and effortless to use. The central drive technology connects all rotary blades to the shaving motor using only one spindle (axle) for a more comfortable grip.
Triple Track Shaving Heads: with up to 50% more shaving surface for a faster, smoother, closer shave. The Philips arcitec has more blades than traditional single-track shaving heads for more chances to catch and cut hair on every stroke. So you don't have to go over the same area to get a really close shave.
Superior Lift & Cut?Technology: The dual stainless steel blade system gently lifts hair to cut it comfortably below skin level, for an ultra close shave.
Advanced Tube Trimmer: Extends out from the body of the shaver -- perfect for trimming your sideburns, goatee, moustache -- then slide it back into the shaver to keep that sleek clean look! The new patented precision tube trimming technology lets you cut off hairs closer to the skin. The outer tube has slots to catch hairs and the inner tube oscillates to cut these hairs.
Precision Cutting System: Ultra-thin heads have slots to catch longer hairs and holes to shave short stubble. The stainless steel shaving heads are made very thin so they lie closer than ever against your skin to reach every hair.
Washable: Simply rinses clean in seconds -- for the ultimate in convenience.
