Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 7110 Cordless Rechargeable Shaver
Customer Review: Poor shave, low battery life
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my second Norelco shaver. The first was purchased for about the same price about 12 years ago and worked well for its lifetime (it still works, but not well). The new Norelco 7110 is a big step down from that old model. It takes me a long time to shave (which means I mostly go around looking unshaven), requiring many passes over the same area, and the battery charge does not last more than one shave. By the time I've cleaned my face, the red "low" battery indicator is blinking. Also, and this is probably the worst change with respect to the older model, when the shaver is plugged in, it still runs off battery, meaning that if the battery is dead you can't shave for an hour even if it's plugged in! So a year after buying it, I'm in the market for a new shaver.Customer Review: good deal

bought cheaply when on sale for $25. i have always been a fan of norelco razors because they work great and are fast to use. quality has gone down over the years since philips bought them out. the plastic on this one is cheap when put side by side with my older norelco made in holland.
I used to have an lcd display for power which this one doesnt have, just a green and red light for power. there is no travel bag like previous norelco models.
cleaning is very easy though with just a quick wash in hot water. but i have concerns of constant water exposure to the blades which probably causes rust over time.
also cutting power doesnt seem as strong as older models and requires you to go back and fourth a few more times.
Customer Review: Poor shave quality and slow going
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the third Norelco shaver I've owned. The first two gave an excellent, close, even shave and the charge lasted several weeks. On my last vacation I forgot the charging cord and it turned on in my suitcase so I ended up having to buy a new one, and this was the only one I could find. On the positive side the unit is light, holds a charge for a reasonably long time and is easy to clean. Unfortunately it does a poor job as a razor. It leaves a lot of long stray whiskers (especially under my nose) that I have to go back over from multiple directions to remove and this causes it to take much longer to shave and ends up irritating my skin. I'm finally getting rid of this piece of junk today and I'm going to buy a different electric razor.Customer Review: It's worth $40 paid for it, but I wouldn't buy it again
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this shaver for over a year. No complaints about shaving - doesn't take too long; it's washable also, but horrible on two places - my neck and my lower lip area. This is the only shaver that managed to give me razor bumps on my neck and CUT my chin. When I shave in between my chin and my lower lip, it just goes "snap" and cuts my skin.
It takes a bit longer to get a decent clean shave out of it than other shavers, but overall it's worth $40 paid for it.
However, if choosing again, I'd get something like HQ8xxx (three circles on each blade) since I actually put in HQ9 blades into HQ7110 and it seemed to shave a lot faster.
Bottom line: don't buy it, add another $50 and get HQ8140 or RQ1050, it's worth it :)
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I have gotten this shaver as a replacement for an old Hitachi. What a disappointment. The shaver's battery is terrible. I barely get 3 or 4 shaves out of it. Also, I don't use this shaver every day, so it could be the idle time drains the battery too. Also, you can't just plug it in, and start using the shaver. Power can only come from the battery, so you can't bypass it (a real bummer when the shaver is low on juice). Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find the ergonomics to be too bad. The other problem is that it takes a while to shave as well, it's slow. I got fed up, and got a Panasonic instead (and it was only forty bucks). MUCH MUCH better. I charged it once, and it's still going strong. Save your money and get a better product.
