Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: THE CUTTING EDGE Comment: I found this product delivers what it promises. I've owned a Norelco Shaver many years ago and it lasted forever. For the past 10 years, I have only used a razor, but an opportunity came up to try it again, so I bought this model. I found it extremely quiet as compared to my old one and it gives me a much closer shave than the older one ever did. Norelco seems to have improved this product over the years and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from just using a razor and still get a good shave. Customer Rating: Summary: Norelco 8240XL electric shaver Comment: This is the best electric shaver I have ever used and I have been using electric shavers for 50 years. The key is in the shaver head. The cheaper models have a single circle of cutters. This shaver has three rows of cutters and that makes a world of difference in getting a quick and effective shave. The shaver is very quiet and the charge is sufficient for three weeks. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Good QUIET Shaver Comment: Before buying this Norelco 8240XL shaver, I bought the Panasonic ARC IV shaver. The Panasonic shaver was so loud that I was afraid to use it. I thought it might damage my hearing since it would be right next to my ear. Without even using it, I packed it up and returned it to Amazon. I then bought the Norelco 8240XL and it is 75% quieter than the Panasonic. The Norelco gives a close (not super close) shave and it is QUIET. I am happy with the Norelco. Customer Rating: Summary: Made the Shift from Braun Foils to Norelco after many years and glad I did Comment: I had used Braun for years. Two diferent ones. Current one was a 5000 series Braun and had to replace the foil head almost once a quarter because it would cut a hole in it!! Very expensive and then add in the cleaning fluid for the cleaning system. After a lot of research I bought the 8240XL. Although I have only had it for a week, I am impressed. It is very quiet, little hard to get use to, because my other shaver was that quiet, it was dead!!! I like the feel of the handle. I like how it hugs the chine and atoms apple. I shave my head and really like how it hugs my head as well. It appears to be really easy to clean with just running under water. Have been using it for over a week and no indication that I need to charge it. Only complaint and why I didn't give this shaver a full 5 stars is, even with Electric Shave, I feel it could save a little closer, but that is really being picky and as my skin gets use to it more that may improve. But even if it doesn't I am still very happy with it. Customer Rating: Summary: Very quiet, shave not so close Comment: I bought this shaver to replace a similar, older model. This unit is extremely quiet (a whisper) compared to my other (3-4 year old) model. The heads are also different and are much smoother going over the face. This model also has a "pivot" to the head which makes movement over the face and neck more comfortable. It is also much lighter. My only complaint is that the shave is not as close as my other shaver. I find that I have to press harder and go over the face much more to get that "smooth" look, otherwise, there will still be a slight stubble look to the face. The shave also does not appear to last as long and by the end of the day the face looks a little more ragged than compared to when I shaved with the other model, which tells me it's not cutting as close. It is very easy to clean and looks very modern. The pop out trimmer on this model is also wider than my previous model which makes trimming sideburns much easier. I would give it more stars if it cut better!
