I aquired this item 2 weeks ago and am so happy about it I went out and bought a differnt one! Having shaved with a wet razor to the last 35 years I didnt have a clue wich type and model of electric shaver to buy. I turned to the evaluate pages and after reading very a large amount of decided on this model. it was before a toss up between this and also the Philips HQ7390/17 Williams F1 Mains Rechargeable Shaver, (at double the price) which also had good reviews. I plumped for this one mainly because blade life is 2 years in contrast to 1 year for the Williams F1 (courtessy Philips website) and I'm really pleased used to do. I understand some of this comments re the apparent insufficient power of the motor, but i think the reviewers are confusing power with quietness. It IS very quiet in use but I think has lots of power as it seems for you to cope perfectly with my challenging stubble, even the particularly difficult and long bits without decreasing a bit-even when nearly dispatched. I swear I get nearly if not AS close a shave as I do with a wet shave (Gillette twin bladed disposable)

go forth and buy...
