Comment:
This is the third Norelco shaver I have owned and is by far the best. This time I wanted one that could be used in the shower and what a difference that makes. I use it with shave gel and I get a fantastic shave. In addition, I shave my entire head so it really gets used and abused but still does a great job. The battery holds a good charge and takes very little time to recharge.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Shaves OK but certainly not worth the money. Closeness of the shave is similar to my $35 Remington foil shaver, I need to touch up with a blade after using the Norelco 1250X, much like the $35 razor. For the price, I had expected better. I'll likely return it and get a cheaper model that shaves about as well.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
At 60, I've always had a Norelco. But now it's time to try another brand. It was 200 bucks and would sometimes just stop working. There is a problem with the battery. 1 year later it would not work. Unless you want to spend 200 a year on this shaver, I would pass.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
