Customers like the ease of cleaning the electric shaver. They mention that the cleaner is awesome, easy to clean, and can be done with hot water. They appreciate the ultra sound cleaning feature, which keeps the blades clean and removes the typical hard water deposit. While the cleaner doesn't disinfect, it is faster and more hygienic than the Norelco cleaner, which has extended the life of the cleaning fluid. Customers also mention that shas are quick, easy, complete, and do not irritate the skin.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the electric shaver. For example some mention it's a good shadr, while others say it'll never be the best. The heads on this unit do not come apart easily, and the pivoting makes it impossible to get a close sand a clean sa.

Good shaver / Black Mold grows inside shaver

Good shaver / Black Mold grows inside shaver
I do use this shaver daily. What I like about it is the close shave and the ability to use in the shower wet. I have used this shaver over the last three years and never dropped it once. Well yesterday I dropped the shaver and the back popped off. I took a photo so people could see the gooey black mold that was growing inside my shaver over all these years. I’m guessing but probably sure this was leaking out and getting on my hands at some point. I find this to be disgusting and a major product flaw for a shaver that is to be used wet. While I love the shaver I do not like this flaw in sealing the shaver.I liked the cleaning apparatus and used that after every shave. I felt it kept the blades clean and removed the typical hard water deposit from it. I was not impressed at the cost or the availability of replacement blades. It almost is the same as a new razor.
