Customer Reviews of Norelco 8894 XL Spectra shaver Limited Edition, includes Automatic Charging stand with clock, 8894XLCustomer Review: "Q" got this one right! Summary: 5 Stars
So James Bond uses this razor: that's not the reason for you to buy it. I am a 20 year user of upper-end disposables (Mach 3, since it came out) and my wife decided it was time for me to ditch the expense and time of the lather and water. I have tried many electrics: Braun, Panasonic even Norelco but the Spectra 8894XL tops them all. Make sure you give your face time to adjust. Most people expect an electric to shave as close as a true razor...give it 2 weeks and you will be pleased with the results.As for the razor itself: Pros 1. The Comfort Control System is for real...I develop ingrown hairs, but the Spectra has eliminated 99% of this problem. 2. You will love the informative display: IF you are a techno junkie like me...if not, go with the 8825XL; same razor, minus the Lithium battery and Display. 3. Low noise...your wife will love this one. I can talk on my cell phone and shave...While driving! (don't try it!) 4. Rinse with water! 'nuff said 5. Leather Case...a touch of class from Phillips on this one. 6. 60 day money-back guarantee! Cons 1. The pop-up trimmer feels cheap and is difficult to use. 2. The Plastic Head-Cover and Stand are useless...and feel cheap. 3. Expensive, and I'm tight!...BUT it is worth the money... 4. The blue power cord does NOT match the razor...(trivial, but true!) Trust me on this one: The 8894XL is the razor to buy if you are switching to an electric...give it a week or 2 and you will not be disappointed.
Description of Norelco 8894 XL Spectra shaver Limited Edition, includes Automatic Charging stand with clock, 8894XLNorelco 8894 XL - Licensed to shave closely and painlessly, this cord/cordless electric shaver is designated Norelco's James Bond model not only because it's high-tech but also because its heads can be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of 00-anyone's skin. The shaver has a comfort-control dial that varies the spring and pressure of the three floating heads through nine settings. Roger Moore might opt for a gentle setting, while Sean Connery surely would choose a firmer setting--and novices to grizzled veterans can please their faces as well. For this model, Norelco has also improved the lift and cut, below-skin shaving technology of its two-stage cutting system, which provides slots for longer hairs and holes for stubble while the floating heads are adjusting individually to facial contours. A full-width trimmer pops up for neat work on sideburns and mustaches. Also known as Philishave HQ8894 Sensotec Licensed to shave closely and painlessly, this cord/cordless electric shaver is designated Norelco's James Bond model not only because it's high-tech but also because its heads can be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of 00-anyone's skin. The shaver has a comfort-control dial that varies the spring and pressure of the three floating heads through nine settings.

A full-width trimmer pops up for neat work on sideburns and mustaches. More tech-chic comes in the form of a polymer LED display that tells how many minutes of shaving time remain when the shaver is operating cordless on its lithium-ion battery. The LED display also warns when the heads need cleaning (all it takes is a rinsing under running water) or replacing (replacement heads available separately). An audible alarm sounds when the shaver requires recharging on its storage stand. A six-minute quick charge is good for a single shave, and a one-hour full charge provides 100 minutes of cordless shaving. The shaver fits the hand beautifully and goes on the road stylishly in its leather travel pouch, while automatically adjusting to worldwide voltage variances. It carries a 60-day, full-satisfaction, money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
