Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8160XLCC SpeedXL Jet Clean Men's Shaving Set
Customer Review: Built-in process to kill the batteries
Summary: 2 Stars
The shave delivered is OK. Probably a bit better than average. After a period of time (the unit decides this and not you) the 'change the blades' light comes on. Until you do this the light stays on, effectively killing the battery life until you buy new blades. When I called Phillips on this they expressed 'surprise' and replaced my razor, but how can this be when others in this review process report the same thing? Phillips really screwed up on this one. Do NOT buy this unit!Customer Review: Norelco 8160XLCC Speed XL Shaving Set
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome shaver. Provides a close, quick & quiet shave. I bought a Braun Pulsonic 9595 last May and was so unhappy with it, I decided to try the Norelco 8160XLCC. The Norelco provides a much better shave on the neck especially, where the hair can be longer, and is also quicker & quieter than the Braun. (I used to have to wear ear plugs with the Braun to keep out the loud hum of the shaver.) I just wish I hadn't wasted my money ($215) on the Braun in the first place.Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Got it refurbished for my husband and he was very pleased by the shorter charging time and longer battery charge. It is quieter than his previous Norelco razors, and cleans up quickly and completely with hot, running tap water. It gives a fairly good dry shave, but is very good when his skin or razor head are moistened. The shave is faster and smoother. He has owned Norelco rotary-head shavers for 30+ years and would definitely recommend it to a relative or friend.Customer Review: Good Product - Minor Flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, this product is a nice upgrade from my Remington R9170. The only caveat I have is the same one others have noted, after your razor self cleans you need to remove it from the cleaner and let it dry overnight...a wet shave isn't a good shave with this product. This razor provides a closer shave than my Remington ever did. Occassionaly a hair or two will need a few brush overs to get, but that's hardly an inconvience.
Good Product.
Customer Review: Dad never told me about razer burn...
Summary: 4 Stars
Love the shaver, but I wasn't prepared for the three weeks of rough, yet sensitive skin due to razer burn. THis shaver doesn't get as close as my disposable razer, but that's a given with shavers, right? I am wondering if my face will toughen up over time, or perhaps I'll have to just slap on some aftershave and take it like a man. In a perfect world, I would've given this a 5 star rating, but the razer burn is leaving me a little raw....
