Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush, 2 Handles pack


This two handle pack is less expensive than buying two separate ones. It really cleans my teeth! It is noticeably better than my old OralB unit. The auto shutoff and 30 second warnings are something you have have to get used to. Eventually you can develop some sort of rhythm with the brush so you are not halfway done when it decides to shutoff. Very good buy.

Philips Norelco Charging Cord 8000X for Speed-XL, Smart Touch, Spectra, Quarda, Precision, Arcitec, Cool Skin Shaver models and more


After a dead AC adapter rendered my shaver useless, I ordered a new AC adapter from Amazon. I was a bit hesitant to order it on internet because there are several parts that look similar. But they got the right part the first time and of course the price beat anything I could find locally. My Arcitec shaver is working just fine now!
While it's difficult to think of a lot of things to say about an AC adapter for a shaver, I hope this review will help others. If you are like me and depend on user reviews, even for trivial stuff like this, then take a few moments and write something to let the rest of the world know about your experience -- thanks!

Philips Norelco Car Cord Adapter for use with Norelco SmartTouch-XL, Speed XL, 7100/7200 XLCC, Spectra and Quadra


The charger is just what my son-in-law has wanted for years. He shaves in the car on the way to work and this charger does the job keeping the shaver charged. Ordering was simple, received the product on time, and just what I ordered.

Norelco 7310


After having this for 6 months and it being my first electric shaver, I am thoroughly impressed by it. I use to be a manual razor using Mach 3's and Quattro's but after trying this, its pretty much all I use daily unless I need a really close shave.

It feels like quality despite the price! Very solid and sturdy.

Philips Norelco HQ 55 Reflex Replacement Heads


There's not much for you to know about these replacement heads for a Norelco shaver. At a good price, this beats buying a new shaver, and replacing them is quite easy, even if you normally wouldn't attempt such a thing. Be sure that the heads you buy will work with your shaver.

Philips Norelco arcitec 1060 Men's Shaving System


First you will need an acetylene torch and a hacksaw to get through the triple layer plastic sarcophagus that Tutankhamun would've envied. Wear heavy leather gloves or the plastic will filet your fingers. Once inside you'll find a razor that resembles the missing link in the Praying Mantis lineage. I was skeptical at first seeing it didn't feel all that sturdy like the Braun non-rotary razor I'd been using. However with this razor I found it required only light pressure to cleanly cut short or longer hairs, whereas I've developed tremendous biceps putting adequate pressure on the Braun to get it to cut anything. I tried one day growth and several days growth and the Arcitec cut it with ease. My face also had a nice sheen when I was done, unlike the road rash from the Braun. Cleaning is a little trying to get all the hair out but manageable. The trimmer is purely an afterthought. It is difficult to use. It is awkwardly positioned and too small to be of any real value. The grip is fairly comfortable except if you have large hands, as I do, then your fingers will start lapping each other, but I digress. Overall it is a very good razor. It conforms to your face nicely and manages difficult curves and tight spots easily. That's what I like most about it.

Philips Norelco 8040X Moisturizing Shaving System


...

This is an excellent shaver.

After using it, my face looks and feels clean and smooth.
My wife tells me that since I started using it, I look terrific. No wonder; I no longer have razor cuts; razor burn; irritated skin; nor ingrown hairs.

At first I bought this shaver thinking I would use it in the shower ONLY.
I thought that the Nivea system was a useless concept.
I was wrong! The Nivea system works great for me! And I no longer shave in the shower.

As far as the cost of the Nivea moisturizer: it is reasonable. Besides, what I spend on it, I save on water. That is for sure.

By the way, I do have a VERY tough beard, unlike those guys in the TV commercials.

In the past, when I used Braun shavers and even now that I use the Norelco, I still shave twice per day. Sometimes three times per day. My beard grows fast and strong.

Finally, I enjoy shaving again: just like when I was a teen and started shaving.

Philips Sonicare R710 HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush


My dentist originally told me to steer clear of the rotating brushes to clean your teeth, not much more than taking sandpaper to your teeth. I have since switched dentists, and this gadget had come recommended by many friends, as well as my new dentist. It vibrates the head of the brush at a super high rate of speed. Gone are the days of moving the toothbrush back and forth over your teeth. Simply put on toothpaste, put in mouth, and turn on. Place the head on your teeth and work however you see fit. Every 30 seconds, the tone changes, and you change quadrants in your mouth. This is my one complaint, I'd like to see variable timed (longer) intervals. After two minutes, or 2:30 if you chose the whitening mode, the brush shuts off. Almost four months after having been to the dentist, my teeth still have that super slick clean feeling, I LOVE it!

Philips Sonicare Essence E5550 Rechargeable Toothbrush System with 2 Handles, 4 Brush Heads, 1 Brush Head Holder, 2 Travel Cases


I was skeptical of a toothbrush that costs this much but my dentist recommended the sonicare and I bought the original 5 years ago. Not one cavity since and it's improved my gums. This is from a guy that genetically has not been given the best teeth by my ancestors and has been an issue for most of my family. I bought my parents a sonicare.

Philips Sonicare R732 HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush


I got this one on Clearance for $64.98. I was very impressed after the first time use. You can tell it works. I bought it because of my dental hygienists recommendation. I am just glad that I did. It can brush way better than what I could have done with a regular toothbrush in hard to reach places (in the right way). I will highly recommend this product to everybody.

Philips Norelco 8160XLCC SpeedXL Jet Clean Men's Shaving Set


I've been using this for four years now. Don't do as they say, do as I say and you'll be as happy as I am with it.

Don't charge/clean it every day. If you want your battery to last, do what I do! Only clean it in the Jet Clean when your battery level is at the bottom bar. Tap out cuttings once in the middle of the cycle and once just before cleaning. In fact, run it under the sink before you clean it. Your cleaning solution will last a very long time and you'll only need to clean the solution tray once when you change the fluid. The nice thing about the tank is you can pull it out to check it. When it's about empty, clean the tray and refill the tank. I've only used 6 bottles of cleaning fluid in 4 years.

The cleaning solution also lubricates the blades and it works! After two years, I bought new blades and there was NO DIFFERENCE to the old ones I replaced just because of their age. I wasted my money, the Jet Clean lubrication works that good, even only using it between full battery charges.

Also, after four years, my battery life is still around two weeks. You won't get this type of battery life if you charge this thing in the cleaner every day. Obviously, don't EVER just leave this thing in the charger as it will ruin the batteries. Besides, the blades won't dry out there anyway.

Also, don't, and I repeat DON'T EVER get the cleaner/ charger circuitry wet. If you do, give it two days to dry out or the cleaner will be quite erratic in it's operation and could quite possibly burn out.

I've had four Norelco razors in my lifetime and this is BY FAR the best! When the new models came out, I actually saw no need to upgrade. For me? That's saying something!

Good luck folks, Danny

Philips Norelco HQ200 Jet Clean Solution (Pack of 3)


My husband's Norelco shaver requires this solution for the cleaning and storage cycle. It is expensive but does a great job of cleaning the shaver and preserving the blades. I did lots of internet research and found that Amazon is the cheapest of the many places where I can buy this. The subscription plan makes it even cheaper and assures that we never run out.

Philips Norelco G480 All-in-One Premium Grooming Kit


I don't know how the G480 works for cutting hair on your head, but for making cleanly demarcated sideburns or shaving a somewhat heavy beard to result in a close, stubble look it isn't as good as the cheaper Norelco G370 or a likewise cheaper Remington shaver, using either the G480's main shaving attachment or its 1" wide precision trimmer, with or without the plastic guides attached to them. The detail, micro foil shaver and nose hair attachments do seem to work better than on the G370 or on the Remington product. (The G370 does not include a micro foil shaver or a detail shaver and its nose hair attachment doesn't work as well for me as the G480's does.) In other words, whether due to unit to unit variation or a design problem, I haven't found one product which alone will do what I want well enough. Given the higher price of the G480 I am disappointed, particularly in light of the overwhelmingly favorable reviews here.

Philips Norelco 7810 Men's Cutting System


Usually I use these reviews as my guide as to whether or not i'll buy the product or not and let me tell you the reviews were all accurate on this shaver. It's really great. It makes very little noise which makes you think well is it really doing anything but trust me its doing everything.

If your wondering whether or not to purchase this shaver or not dont wonder anymore. Take it from someome who doesn't write a lot of reviews. I had to write a review on this shaver though because its worth every penny.

Oh one more thing. You can clean it right under the running water in your sink because its water proof. I mean what more do you want. Ok stop reading this review and buy the razor :)

Philips Norelco T780 Rechargeable Vacuum Trimmer


The Norelco T780 is a great trimmer. With 9 settings, it can make your beard the exact length that you prefer. The vacuum feature works fairly well, but don't expect perfection, as some hairs will sneak out. It has all the basic features you would need in a trimmer, but if price is no object, consider the T980. Both trimmers have the same experience (you will get the same results) but the T980 has the cool bells and whistles that you may crave (faster charge time, low battery indicator, travel case, etc.) Either way you can't lose with this consistent product.

Philips Norelco BG2000 Bodygroom Replacement Trimmer/Shaver Foil


As a black male model with sensitive skin (and beard), I live by this razor for giving such a quick, wonderful close shave; I often give the bodygroomer as a gift plus I've been ordering the replacement heads for years now and believe me when I say that I have used it to shave EVERYTHING in my line of work. I highly recommend it to ANYone who suffers from ingrown hairs in their beard or simply endures hyper-sensitive skin (no matter where that skin is).

Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush


This is my first experience with an electric toothbrush. My dentist recommended that I start using one, but with so many choices on the market, I didn't know what to buy. After reading tons of reviews, I finally settled on the PS FlexCare.

I thought the whole electric toothbrush hype was a bunch of baloney, but was willing to give it a try, and though it took a little over a week, I have noticed a remarkable difference after brushing.

After reading the directions, and popping the brush onto the base, I was worried about the small gap between the brush and the base. Even though the book says that there is a small gap, I was sure that it would get gummed up, but it doesn't.

Of the three modes, I typically brush in the "clean" mode. Sometimes when I'm brushing, I accidentally tap the button that changes the modes, and it bumps to "sensitive". Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention that this happens.

I have absolutely no complaints with this purchase, and am overall enthusiastically happy about it, and wish that I'd started using one of these years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing if my dentist observes a difference at my next checkup. I like this so much, that I've gotten my husband to use it.

As much as I like this brush - and I got it for a good price - when this bites the dust, I will chance a less expensive model as a replacement.
