Men's Electric Shaver - MAX-T Corded and Cordless Rechargeable 3D Rotary Shaver Razor for Men with Pop-up Sideburn Trimmer Wet and Dry with Wall Adapter 100-240V

The Max-T is a repeat purchase for me recently. After 5-6 years use of my originally purchased shaver (which still performs excellently), I decidedthat having a backup would simplify my life a bit.With my sensitive skin, the Max-T proved itself the best option for me after many years of trial and error with others - I'm happy to retain a bump and redness free face, shave after shave!I especially appreciate that I'm able to grab that quick shave-in-a-rush even when I've neglected to charge-up the shaver because I can power it up as I'm shaving.Simplicity is important to me so easy cleanup, wet or dry, was a big influencer of my purchase. So was the fast 1-hour full-charge and 2-hour charge-life: that equals out to a full week of 15-minute shaves between charges for me!As for battery life, I'm kind of amazed that after nearly 6 years, a charging lasts nearly as long and provides just as much power as it ever did - even when challenged with 3-4 days growth!Simply put, I get a comfortable, clean and smooth shave every time with my Max-T shaver, and I wouldn't trade it!Can't speak much for the trimmer-function, though, since I've very rarely used it except to maintain a 5 o'clock shadow-look for a couple weeks, here and there.Admittedly, I have never posessed what anyone would call a "tougher" beard, but I've found the blade sharpness of the Max-T to be particularly long-lasting in shaving my moderate growth between changes. Tougher beards may find t necessary to change blades more often than 6-8 weeks, bu that is what has worked for me.

I bought this shaver over a year ago and I am writing this review now because I believe that users want to know not just how their purchase does when unboxed, but also how it performs after a period of use.I suspect that many users reading a review of a rotary-head shaver that is NOT a Philips-Norelco shaver want to know how this relatively new brand compares with that well-established one. And the answer is: pretty favourably. Indeed, it is my conclusion, after over a year of daily use, that the Max-T shaver is superior in every significant way to more expensive Philips-Norelco models.Let’s take a look.Pros• Closeness of shave. Even a year on, the Max-T shaves as close as all Philips-Norelco shavers that I have used over the years, and closer than most.• Charge use per shave. I shave my full face except for a moustache, and each shave uses about 5% of the total charge. Sometimes less. I can’t complain about that.• Charge remaining indicator. While the precision of a percent value charge remaining indicator is probably overkill, having a clear charge remaining indicator is a very useful feature that is simply not available on the lower-end, but still more expensive, competitor machines. You know, you can plan, when to charge the shaver. This avoids the embarrassment of having no charge in your shaver when you most need it to function. Additionally…• Corded operation (operation directly from the mains power). You can shave from the mains when the shaver is out of charge. This was a feature I particularly looked for in a shaver as I had experienced enough occurrences of having shavers that ran out of charge and were unable to operate – particularly base-mount shavers. Note that you can’t get the shaver to work from the mains when it is at absolutely 0% charge. You need to first charge it to 1% for operation-from-the-mains to work. This takes about a minute. I mention this so that you’ll know not to give up when the shaver at 0% charge won’t operate immediately from the mains.• Recharge time. I’ve tested this by emptying the shaver to 0% charge and recharging from there to full. It takes just under 65 minutes to get to 100% charge. This piece of information as-is isn’t useful in real-life scenarios but it does give an idea of how quickly you can rescue the shaver if it runs out of charge.• Micro-USB charger. If you travel a lot, it’s nice to have a shaver that doesn’t need a dedicated charger with that extra weight. You just use a micro-SB charger that you might have with you for another device. Since charging from empty to full takes only an hour or so, this is totally practical.• On-off button lock. You can toggle a lock on the on-off button by holding it down for three seconds. While not being absolutely foolproof, this feature greatly reduces the likelihood of your shaver being inadvertently activated while you are travelling.• Noise. The shaver is quiet. When I first switched it on I wondered if a shaver with such a gentle buzz would have the power to cut through my thick stubble. But I needn’t have worried.• Design. This is an old-school styled, corded/cordless shaver that does not have an interchangeable head. I guess this is personal preference, but I didn’t want a base-charge shaver because I wanted it to operate from the mains if necessary. And I didn’t want an interchangeable head shaver because all too often those heads come off in the middle of shaving, casting stubble dirt and shaver head parts everywhere, usually where they are hardest to reach, and usually when you are in a hurry. So the simple old-school design suits my preferences well.Cons• The three little metal logo stickers that were stuck to the centre of each shaver head have all come off, together with the little glue blobs that adhered them. This doesn’t affect the shave at all, but it does raise questions about T-Max’s quality control process. But since nothing else has gone wrong with the shaver over twelve months, I can let this go.SummaryIf you are looking for a corded/cordless shaver that does not have an interchangeable head, you can’t go wrong with the Max-T. A great value device.

I've used Norelc* shavers for decades, after trying other brands and other designs, so I'm a fan of this form factor. You know immediately when you look at the MAX-T that it's another Norelc* clone, whose original design is considered by many to be the closest thing to the ideal shaver. And since patents have long ago expired, lots of manufacturers have copied it. Being a direct clone, it operates exactly as the original does.I currently have a half-dozen shavers of this design, most of them older Norelc*s that have developed issues after years of use, but I also have three shavers that are still in working order but have dull blades. So I went shopping for a new one and found the MAX-T. Given its attractive price and good reviews, I decided to give it a try. It seems to shave as well as any I have.Likes:- It's well-made- It has double-row cutters, as opposed to single-row like many lower-cost shavers- It is washable and wet/dry capable, so it's easy to clean- The big bright battery remaining percentage is great to have- It can be used while charging, important when the battery runs out in the middle of a shave- The charging cord includes the "brick", so you don't have to go find one to charge it- It's ergonomically shaped, so it fits the hand nicely- It comes with a drawstring "sock" for travel- Nice pop-up trimmer for sideburns, beards or mustaches- It shaves as close as can be expected of an electricDislikes:- Nothing significant so far, except that battery consumption seems high at about 15% per shaveRating:- I like the shaver, but I can't bring myself to give it the full 5 stars. It's still a copy of a successful design at a much lower price, and I can't help but view it as a lesser-quality product that won't last as long as the original it's based on. I hope I'm wrong, but until I'm proven to be I'll give it 4 stars.In the meantime, based on my short time with it and its attractive price, I will still recommend it.
