Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco Speed XL Shaver 8245XLD - SPECIAL VALUE Includes Extra Shaving Head Pack
Customer Review: Disappointing shave
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this at Costco after shaving for a long time with a Norelco 8175. The 8245 came in a bundle similar to the one advertised here for about $80, except with a set of replacement heads instead of the charging stand. I figured it was a good deal, as the set of replacement heads runs between $30-$35 on its own. The 8245 seemed weaker than my old 8175, taking many more passes to get a good, close shave. Every so often, the 8245 plucks whiskers instead of cutting them, something that never happened with the 8175. I heard or read somewhere that I should beware of "gray market" items at discount stores; the suggestion being that manufacturers were creating lower quality versions of their products specifically for discounters (such as by using weaker motors or other components of lower quality than those used in versions sold in retail stores). I kept my eyes open for the 8245 at local retail stores, but never saw it anywhere but at Costco. Recently, I came across a great "clearance" sale at a local retailer, and picked up the 8250 to compare to the 8245. It seems to me that the 8245 simply gives a weaker shave than the 8250. The 8250 gives a great shave with far fewer passes. I tried to find the specifications for the motors used in both the 8145 and 8250, but was unable to, in either the manuals or at the Norelco website. I give the 8245 two stars in comparison to the 8250; it still gives a decent shave compared to other single-track electrics.
