Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8160XLCC SpeedXL Jet Clean Men's Shaving Set
Customer Review: First Time User
Summary: 5 Stars
i have always been a disposable razor guy. i tried an electric/rotary shaver back in the late 1980's and didnt care for it much - i cant remember the brand. i bought this norelco a couple of months ago and decided to give electric shavers another try because of the rediculus prices of replacement blades these days. this shaver performed flawlessly. it is extremely comfortable to use and gives you a close shave. this shaver is extremely quiet. the cleaning station does a very good job. excellent product that i recommend to you guys thinking of switching to an electric shaver.Customer Review: shaves great-cleans not so great
Summary: 4 Stars
the razor shaves great, one of the closest I've had. The cleaning is a little more complicated. The reservoir needs topped off every 2 weeks, and you can't just leave the razor in the cleaning station and go. For best performance and battery life you have to watch the cleaning station, and when the razor has dunked for the final time, you need to unplug the station and remove the razor. The razor is always clean and works well, it would just be more convenient if you could put it in the cleaning station, push the button and forget it until next usage.Customer Review: Best shaving system ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Have been using Norelco's for years. This is my 4th and by far the best. I only used my electric when I traveled. Since picking up the 8160, I use it every day home and away. It is simply a great razor giving me the best shave of any electric shaver I have used.
My only complaint is with the cleaner. If you store it in the cleaner, it will still be wet when you go to use the razor in the morning. It is best to remove it from the cleaner at the end of the cycle and store it in the medicine cabinet. No biggie but a better design is needed.
Customer Review: Very Good, Not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a Norelco user for more than 35 years. When I got this razor I was amazed at how quiet it was and how closely it shaved. Even my wife noticed the difference. There are no comfort settings, but I did not need any, it was a good shave and not so close that I got ingrown hairs on my face. The charge lasted more than 3 weeks
I thought the cleaning system was a little "cheesy." It does okay cleaning, but you do not want to recharge every time you needc to clean. Loved the razor, but would not get the cleaning system again.
Customer Review: Norelco 8160XLCC - not bad but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been use to foil razors but after 4 years w/ my Braun it was time for a new one. I bought the Norelco as I was interested in the self cleaning aspect. Overall it's not bad but as they say in the manual - it does take time for your skin to adjust. It is a solid unit and does last quite a bit of time on a charge. The shave eventually gets to be quite nice but give your skin time to adjust. It's a little difficult to get a clean shave around the side burns which is where the Braun was good but that's a small issue to deal with.
