Philips Norelco Shaver 1100, S1016/90

Norelco has been in the rotary shaver business for a long time and their quality has never been in question. I was looking for a "corded" model because rechargeable devices always seem to have issues. When I shave, I am never far awat from an outlet and being corded, all of the battery issues go out the door. Basic and reliable, that's the ticket. The shave is not as close as a blade, but it is very close. It has reliable power and should hold up over time.

This electric razor works as advertised. On another review, the person stated that the cord was stiff and held the curves from the cord being folded and tied in the package. That was true and and what I did to straighten the cord was to hang the cord so that the shaver kept tension on the cord. After 2 days of hanging, the cord is still stiff but straight and easier to manage. As far as the shave quality, I have a Norelco 2000 series shaver that costs more than twice the price as this one. The blades run slower than the other model but if you slow down your shaving motion, it shaves as good as the more expensive one of the same brand. I do recoment this shaver.

I am new to using an electric razor so I don't have anything to compare it with. The razor comes with a cord which I prefer because cordless gadgets tend to stop taking a charge after a couple of years. I absolutely hate the power cord that came with the razor. It is untrainable and is extremely "Springy". Other than the cord that has a mind of its's own, the razor seems to work fine.

This shaver gives a really nice close shave and is good value for the money. Also easy to clean.

Summary: Weighs nothing, terrible quality, loud, does not shave evenly or close and causes cuts that are worse than razer burn on the face. I have had 2 Norelco electric razers in my long life. The first was my fathers and he had it for 10 or 20 years before me. My second was before Phillips took over the company. Those razers were amazing. Heavy duty (Weighed at least half a pound), close shave, and lasted forever. The first thing I noticed when I opened it and picked up the box was thinking they sent an empty box. I was confused because I could see a plastic looking razer inside. It took 15 minutes to get the box open without ruining it. Some weird one piece Oragami folded nightmare. When I got the razer out, it weighed almost nothing. It was hard to believe there was a motor inside. I thought maybe it was a manufacturing glitch and it didn't get a motor. The box seemed to weigh more than the razer. I though "Well technology is much better these days, maybe it's just this lightweight. I attached the plug and clicked the button. I hear spinning, but it sounds like a high pitched rattle. Much louder than the ancient ones I had owned before which had a lovely quiet hum. I put it on my face and noticed that the floating heads moved like my old one, but less smoothly, and I started to shave. It felt uncomfortable, but I was not sure if it was snagging hairs or the floating heads were just sharp or something else. I kept going in the same area and it kept making noise like in the video of it cutting hairs. Much louder than the old ones. But I would keep going over the same area again and again and it was still making sounds like it was cutting. I ran my fingers over the area and the whole area had stubble, but patches of it were longer than others, so I tried going in different directions and it eventually evened out, but never got a close shave, just very short stubble. After 15 minutes I got sick of trying and figured it was good enough since I wasn't going anywhere today, but there were still patches of stubble. 15 minutes later, I started feeling burning on my chin and mustache area. I touched it gently and it seemed to burn more. I went to look in the mirror and it was bright red and little bumps with tiny dots of red that were the color of blood, but not blood drops. I looked with a magnifying mirror and saw microscopic cuts. I'm old, but I have good skin. This was not a bumpy area to start with. By the time I did the return online and packaged it back up in a return box, the redness had gone down a lot, but I took pictures and you can still see the damage and bumps. This is just not the same company and the razer is nothing like the quality they used to be. It feels like a cheap plastic toy and it definitely does not work very well. I simply do not understand how there are so many 5 star reviews. The whole point of an electric razer is to be quick (which it is not) and avoid razer burn. I dont get razer burn from my razer blade razer, but I certainly got a lot of it from this. The flat areas of my cheeks did not seem to get this, but they have patchy stubble, so it didn't actually shave evenly or close.

Shave fine, just didn't realize it wasn't a rechargeable battery one. My mistake but I'm keeping it. Its heads work on others so whether I use it as a complete shaver or replacement heads its still a great buy. Shave was smooth enough. They are well built and good quality. Ordered a rechargeable afterwards.

I received the electric razor in yesterday's mail. Pleasantly surprised since it was supposed to arrive on 8/17. Nice to have a backup razor and one to take on vacation. A little more than I wanted to pay, but at least I have a backup in case my current razor breaks.

A plug-in shaver is perfect for the quick clean-up: Always ready, always at full power, incredibly inexpensive, will last for years. This one is just perfect.

It is working fine. Have been using Phillips shavers for many years

Charging kewal not parfect

Prise non conforme

Phillips es una exelente marca de rasuradoras, durable y cumple con su funsión. Es de cable y va conectada a la corriente para su funcionamiento (no tiene para recorte de patillas). Su potencia es normal pero muy durable y se rasura uno bien y gran producto sobre otras marcas. va en gustos si requiere una rasuradora recargable o con cable con conección a toma de corriente lo que actualmente casi ya no hay de este tipo de rasuradoras porque casi todas son recargables y Phillips tiene esas dos opciones. En lo personal lo recomiendo mucho

Gives an excellent close shave
