Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8160XLCC SpeedXL Jet Clean Men's Shaving Set
Customer Review: Comfortable, but jetclean is disappointing
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this razor for about 2 years now. I really like this razor compared to the last "entry level" norelco I used to have. This one has much more rounded edges on the blade guuards and the pivoting and motion of the heads is much lighter and smoother. This gives a better experience when using.
I will say, I have to go over areas twice - once to cut them down, then again to get the smoothest shave. I can still feel stubble when done, but it's comparable to any other results I've gotten with an electric razor. So in a nutshell, the shave itself isn't all that much better or faster than lower models, but it's more comfortable.
Other advantages are the fact that you can rinse the razor clean - that's a big plus for me. Also, you can use it corded or cordless. It's much quieter than lower models and the power seems to remain more constant over the life of the charge vs. cheaper ones seem to get significantly slower at a half charge. The LED lets you see when you're running low, which is needed b/c as I said, the noise and power is fairly constant up until the last 1 or 2 lights of the charge meter.
My biggest dissapointment was the jetclean system. It takes a very long time to cycle and is twice to 3x as noisy as using the shaver itself. Since I get ready before my wife, I usually didn't run it so it wouldn't wake her up. About 1.5 years into use, the charging pins that connect to the power cord corroded and pulled out of the unit making the jetclean useless. Also, you're supposed to empty the used liquid weekly. So if you don't use it every day, you're either keeping the shavings in the solution longer than reccomended or you're throwing away a lot of solution.
I will say the reservoir is easy to clean and use, and is perfectly matched to the bottle of solution. It was easy to use without making a mess. The other reason I didn't clean it every day was that if left in the jetclean device, I found the razor was still wet with solution the next morning. It was also recommended to rinse the razor with water after using jetclean, which to me defeated part of the purpose of cleaning with an an-ionic solution to help prevent mineral buildup on the razor.
My recco is to buy the razor but skip the jetclean. Just rinse with water instead and then leave it open to dry.
