Philips Norelco Shaver 2400 Series, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, Pop-up Trimmer, P-Cap, Deep Black, Model X3001/90

Excellent shaver. Very quiet and does an adequate job. I still need to use my Braun shaver for locations where I want a really close shave, but this shaver is much quicker and can handle the longer whiskers better (I don't shave every day).I'm very happy to see that it has a NiMH battery. Better battery than Lithium Ion when you have a high-drain application (like running a motor). Also charges much faster. When I was looking at shavers with Li+ batteries, I saw 8 hours charging for 40 minutes of use. This shaver with the NiMH battery charges in 1 hour for 30 minutes of use. And - yes - I did test that. I got 58 minutes to a full charge (from 0) and then ran it for 26.5 minutes. Close enough.Not to mention that Li+ batteries drained down to 0 (like, say, when your shaver accidentally gets turned on in your luggage), are damaged. NiMH batteries should be drained to 0 once in a while to help with longevity.In case you're wondering - I worked in an electronics testing facility for years. I ran tests on battery charging and discharging systems.

Have had for less than a month, and so far, this Norelco 2400 shaves amazingly fast and does not leave any patchy areas that I have to pass over again and again like some shavers require, like another brand rotary shaver that I just returned. Only once did I get this one to pull/snag a hair, but I was testing it by moving it crazy-fast over a several day hair growth, and finally made it do so. Otherwise, under normal use, it never snags hair. For several day hair growth, I probably should pass over my face first with beard clippers, but this does great on 2 or 3 day length hair. It probably doesn't shave as microscopically close as a foil, but it shaves close enough that I'm not using the foil shaver anymore. It also cuts the laid-down, longer hairs that a foil shaver cannot cut.

I did see cheaper ones on Amazon with decent reviews. I’m replacing this one at least 15 years old shaver with a battery failing .Same brand - definitely not same quality but I charged it up and tested it for a moment and it worked . Sad to say as our parents always said it’s a throw away society. And of course we are like whatever. Our parents where right . If I get two years out of it I will be happy .

This is the first electric shaver i've ever used so i can't compare but i think it does a great job. I don't have to fool with shaving cream or even wetting my face. I just run this over my face and i'm good to go. I find it works better if i hold it lightly over the skin. If i press down too hard, it doesn't shave as smoothly. And the shave is smoother than i thought i would get with an electric razor. Is it QUITE as smooth as i used to get with my old manual razor? Nope. Do i care? Nope. It's plenty close enough and i save a lot of time. For the price, it's well worth it.

I've used electric razors for decades, this one does a great job at a low cost. The last one I had was a Panasonic, it worked well but I found it would get jammed up with hair too quickly and I'd have to replace the blades and foil at least once a year. It was also pretty noisy. This one is relatively quiet in comparison and doesn't need to be cleaned as often. The cord to charge it is only USB A (no cube). No biggie as I installed an electrical outlet that also has 2 USB A charging ports in my bathroom.

wish they would have included a way to charge the shaver not just a cord needing another adaptor , should have been with the shaver . also for info you can't use the shaver when it is charging or just run it off wall electric power like the old models. so if the battery goes back the shaver is useless , can't be used.

The only thing I don't like about this thing is that I didn't buy it earlier in life. I'll never ever ever ever buy nor use a regular shaving razor and freaking shaving cream. I will also not waste my time and money and energy on shaving in any other way ever a-ever again. This thing is awesome.

A good decent priced razor that's lightweight and does the job. Shaves to a smooth finish leaving the face feeling like it wasn't roughed up. Nit to bad when it comes to noise either and the included edger is a big plus.
