Customer Rating: Summary: This is THE one! Comment: The Norelco 8140XL is the best that you are going to get from an electric shaver. I tried a Remington foil shaver and it was horrible. It did a poor job of shaving, was VERY loud and made a mess of my bathroom when I cleaned it.
I returned it and bought the 8160XL because it was the same price as the 8140XL on Amazon. The Jet Clean system is a waste of time and space. You clean the cutting blades by opening the top and holding it under running water - done! I don't see any reason to use the cleaning system.
If can't use a multi-blade razor and need to go electric then I recommend the Norelco 8140XL.
My rating system:
*****(5 stars) - Good old multi-blade razor and shave cream (my old skin can't take blades anymore)
****(4 stars) - Norelco 8140XL
***(3 stars) - Norelco 8160XL
* (1 star) - Remington foil type shaver Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent shaver, few frills. Comment: This is an excellent straightforward shaver. Does equally well on neck, chin and cheeks. Battery last a long time between shaves. Cutter head may be rinsed in plain tap water eliminating the need for a more expensive cumbersome cleaning system. Definitely recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Review of Norelco 8140XL Comment: Great razor. Meeets the traditional standards of Norelco. Quick charge. fast and complete shave,easy to clean, comfortable,etc. There are no adverse issues with this razor.
I got it to replace one of the Arcitec models which,for me, was totally unsatisfactory. The contrast between the two is immediately apparent with the 8140XL.
With a five star rating, I would give it a seven. Customer Rating: Summary: Norelco Still Rocks Comment: My son's old Norelco fizzed out and he decided to try a Remington he purchaed on Amazon. BIG MISTAKE! The shaver gave a terrible shave and just didn't come up to the Norelco standards. I purchased a new Norelco 8140 XL Shaver for him for his birthday on Amazon and he is extremely happy with his new Norelco. He's getting a great smoothe shave, and he will be sticking with Norelco in the future. Customer Rating: Summary: Should be Norelco 8140XL "SLOW" XL mens Shaver Comment: I purchased the Norelco 8140XL shaver after reading several positive reviews. I cannot get a good, clean shave with this razor and it takes a long time going over and over my face to try to get a smooth shave. Even after doing this, I can still feel my face is rough and not clean shaven !! Am I doing something wrong ????
