Really Remarkable Razor
An OUTSTANDING electric shaver, which when kept fully charged offers aggressive, effective (but not irritating) whisker removal. The pivoting head and the three pivoting blades make access to one's face/neck contours quite remarkable. Further, the razor is easily cleanable either fast cleaned (i.e., after one shave--dumping whiskers and blowing into the three blade bays) or detailed cleaned (e.g., using pressurized, canned air or hot water to blast out the whiskers from the blades, internal mechanisms, and blade bays). I've owned four Norelcos; this is the best by far. Its design and construction are well up to Norelco standards; I found no "cheapness" to the construction and build as noted by other reviewers (i.e., as compared with both Norelcos in this price range and Noreclos' outside competitors). Indeed, I'd buy it again, no question!

Good on technology
I already use another Philips Norelco Rotary shaver when I started using this. I waited for a while to write this review because I wanted to give time for my face and shaver to adjust with each other. This shaver has been used for 4 months before I decided to write the reviewPros:1. Very Quiet2. Long Battery Life3. Short Charging Time4. Wet/Dry useCons:1. Does not do as close shave as my last shaver2. Have to spend awfully long time to shave neck areaSummary: Good on technology. Average on primary function.

Nothing shaves as close as a blade but............
I purchased this about six months ago, a sufficient enough time to give a good evaluation. No electric razor will shave as close as a blade but I really don't care. In terms of an acceptable shave and the convenience an electric offers, this one does a great job. If I have the time I will use it with shaving cream applied to my face and it feels really great. There is no skin irritation and you get a nice close shave. I am happy with this razor.

I shave my head every other day and I got great results from day one
All I can say it's thank you Norelco. I got the Philips Norelco AT895/41 Shaver 4900 about a month ago. I shave my head every other day and I got great results from day one. Close shave and I save more money now that I switched from the Gillette fusion simply because of price. The last time I got 12 Gillette blades for $54.00, if this is not highway robbery, I don't what is. SHAME ON YOU GILLETTE for charging so much for 12 blades. THANK YOU NORELCO for a great product and a very reasonable prize. I highly recommend this product.

PROS: Shaves reasonably close for an electric shaverCan rinse off in waterHolds charge a long timeDoes not pull hairsComfortable shaveCONS: Would like a closer shavePivoting head seems stiff and does not pivot as easily as I think it shouldI would buy again or look for a similar shaver

One of the better models. Not sure about it being from China
It was purchased to replace my 6 year old Norelco. This is a copy for twice the price, shaves no better with these new heads than does the 6 year old heads. This one was made in China. The old one shows no location so it must have been U.S. made. Norelco, used to be "North American Philips Co." Now Chiphico?

I would say I am extremely satisfied with it.
I have been using the shaver for several months now. It seems to shave just a little closer on my faces when it is at least partly wet, but it does a fine job on dry skin too. I would say I am extremely satisfied with it.
