Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 1050CC arcitec Men's Shaving System
Customer Review: Norelco 1050CC
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned this product for 2 weeks. Works great and gives a close shave. The only thing I don't understand is the cleaning system. It is the same as the Braun shavers, but the instructions tell you to unplug the power after the cleaning stage so it will not affect the battery life. If you look at the instructions it takes 2 hrs for the cleaning and drying cycle to finish then your instructed to remove the power. After the cleaning cycle if finished it automaticly goes to the charg cycle. If you are like me I am at work by then in the morning. Come on Norelco, whats with this. Poor design on Norelcos part. The shaver does give a nice close shave and is great looking.
I'll only give this product 4 stars because of the cleaning/charging system. How many of us are going to remove the power after cleaning. Are you going to stand there and wait. I don't think so.
Customer Review: Bill's review of the Philips NOrelco 1050 arcitec Mden's Shaving system
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had Phillips Noreclo shavers for years. They have almost always shaved closer than the best screen shavers; and I use both types every day, as some work more easily on some types of facial terrain and the rotaries do by far the best job on the neck. This one is the best and closest shaving razor ever. It is small and fits well in the hand. The heads are the most flexible ever. It works better with a little thin oil than with spray lubricants. I love the transporting device that also allows recharging within it. But the best of all is the self cleaning device. It works dramatically well, and is the main reason I purchased the whole system instead of just the razor. I still have my older Norelco and it works fine; but I wanted the self cleaning device. the price for the whole system is only slightly higher than that for just the razor, alone.Customer Review: What Happened to NORELCO!?
Summary: 1 Stars
What happened to norelco?? I have had a norelco power shaver for years! and it has been great. It just lost its recharge ability and I think the blades are now just a bit dull, however, always a quick, close shave. This new, HIGHLY OVERPRICED shaver is TERRIBLE! Its quickness is like that of a snail, its shave is like that of a choppy lawnmower, and its charge is like that of an old used duracell! this is supposed to be the revolution in shaving!??? I think not. The only reason I bought it in the first place is because I had been so happy with my old shaver, at least 10 years old not, I expect this one to last a mere few months, if that, and never even come close to the shave of its predecessor. Shame on you Philips Norelco, you should pay some real designers to try and mimic all the designers you obviously outsourced to INdia. Lame......Customer Review: Good Razor for a 15 year old.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been shaving for over 17 years now and this razor would be good if you just had peach fuzz and don't get a 5 o'clock shadow by noon. I used this razor for a week thinking I would give this a try with the money back offer. Here are my opinions:
It feels like you have a piece of plastic in your hand instead of a sturdy shaving system. You cannot get a close shave on the neck. Even after grinding the shaver into my neck for several minutes it still looked the same. Forget about using the trimmer I could do better with my nose trimmer for my sideburns. Price...for what it delivered it was not worth it.
Pros: I liked the cleaning system, but that is about it.
Needless to say I switched to another brand (it was just as expensive) and have been very happy.
Customer Review: My least favorite Norelco yet
Summary: 1 Stars
This is probably my 5th Norelco in 20 years. I have tended to buy a higher-up model each time and I was happy until the Arcitec. For a while it seemed to give a so-so shave but i spent a *lot* of time going over areas and trying to get stray whiskers.
Now, after only a few months, the blades have become very dull, and it is useless. I pulled an older Norelco out of a travel kit and am using that for now. The replacement blade head is about $35 and I am not sure I will bother. At the rate this went I could spend $140 a year on replacements. And everybody seems out of stock, anyway. I wonder why :(
I think guys who rate this highly must either have very easy beards or be suffering from cognitive dissonance -- I spent a lot of dough so it *has* to be good!
