If you have any old Norelcos' around like I did here are some things to consider. The charging connection on the shaver is identical to the connection of the previous generation. So The cord that you were using to plug into your charging stand will also work with both the shaver and charging stand of the 8950. Voila ,you have a spare charging cord. Also this shaver is shaped similar to the previous generation. That means that your old charging stand will work very well as a stand for your 8950 on the bathroom counter. Finally your travel case for your old shaver will also work for this one ,again ,a made to order
spare.
I am not a fan of the Smart Clean system. I think every shaver model should have a with/without price for those of us that are just fine with manual cleaning The system is large and bulky, certainly nothing one would leave on the bathroom counter on a permanent basis. Sitting on the counter it kind of looks like a futuristic death ray gun that you might see in some space movie.My wife looked at it and said something to the effect that I could never again complain about her cosmetics taking up to much room on the BR counter..That prompted me to put the cleaning system on a high out of the way shelf in a very dark closet where one of my kids will find it long after I am gone.
Buy the 8950 , I think you will like it and feel it is a good value .
After spending a bit too much time grazing through Amazon's offerings, I decided it was time to upgrade to a newer and more advanced Norelco, hence my purchase of the 8900. Aside from the impressive specs, the cleaning system intrigued me as I have never used one of these before. I have cleaned my shavers under hot running water, and over time mineral deposits from the water accumulate. So the idea of a cleaning system that might prevent mineral deposits was appealing.
Having just recently received the shaver, I've had time for one shave. What a difference! This baby shaves as close as my manual razor, and is far superior to either the older Norelco or the Braun. Plus, no skin irritation. The motor speed of this shaver is much faster that my older Aquatec which makes shaving much faster. I especially love the way the Norelco design handles neck hair (under the chin, etc). The Braun doesn't do a very good job in this area.
The cleaning system is impressive. Put the shaver in, press a button, and it cleans for about 20 minutes, then dries for about 4 hours. You can also keep the shaver in the cleaning stand for recharging, or simply use the same power cord that connects to the cleaning system.
I like the trimmer assembly. In reading the specs I got the impression it was for beards and mustaches (neither of which I have). But that refers to an attachment you place on the trimmer (which, incidentally, can adjust to 5 different cutting lengths). Keep the attachment off, and you have the same type of trimmer as the popup kind on other models. Removing the shaving head and attaching the trimmer is not as convenient as the popup variety, but the way in which the trimmer protrudes seems to make it easier to use.
Finally, while this shaver does not come with a plastic cap to protect the cutting heads, it does come with a nice hard shell travel case. Overall, I am impressed with all aspects of this shaver, and it will keep me firmly entrenched in the Norelco camp for many years to come.

Je suis pour l'instant impressionné par la qualité du rasage, je suis curieux de voir comment évoluent les lames dans l'avenir.
Pour l'instant donc très satisfait, j'apprécie également le dock de nettoyage même si le cycle est un peu long (4 heures de séchage). Globalement la série 8000 est très satisfaisante et une bonne évolution avec la série 5000 qui était mon précédent rasoir.
