Product Reviews of Philips Norelco 9160XL SmartTouch-XL Men's Shaver
Product Review: Great Tradition
Summary: 4 Stars
Very hard to find Norelco shaver due to its price and traditional (non-swivel) head design, which I was glad to find on Amazon. Likes: (1) hot water cleaning, (2) 30 days of shaving per charge, (3) carry case, (4) dual current charger, (5) traditional design. Dislikes: (1) charging stand (which I don't use) because of the space it takes up, and (2) it doesn't have a charge status indicator that counts down shaves (only slide rule). Great product which I would recommend to anyone.Product Review: Great product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my dad as a gift and hoping he'd "upgrade" from the razor but it didn't really work all that well. He says the product is great and gives you a more closer shave than the Gillette cartridge razor but he still keeps using the razor!! My efforts to make him switch completely has failed so far:)
I guess its difficult to move away from what you've used for decades especially for older people. The only limitation on this product from his opinion is that it doesn't trim the side burns as good as a blade and I feel its a bit expensive too. So a negative star for it.
Product Review: Fabulous shave
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband has used Norelco's for 40 years. I got him this one for his birthday and he says it's the best ever! Great shave on his tough beard. I agree, his face is smooth as if he used a blade.Product Review: Want a rash?
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this unless you want a rash? At first it was ok but as the 3rd-4th week I developed a rash,it seemed convenient but when you consider the outcome it's not worth it.Going back to the triple bladed hand razor,now!Product Review: More Cheaply Made
Summary: 2 Stars
I just received the 9160XL today to replace my previous model #7864XL, and am a bit underwhelmed. It feels cheaper to hold than my previous Norelco model, and upon close inspection of the screens and cutting wheels, my old "1-track" 7-series were of a much higher quality and had a much greater degree of precision with regard to holes & slits than this new 3-track (Speed-XL) model. Comparing them up close, it's really disappointing. Also, the charging base has a cheap feel and should be weighted. I would have expected much better quality for $140.
