Philips Norelco 3100 Rechargeable Electric Shaver with Pop-up Beard Trimmer for Smooth, Close Shaves

JRogers133: I've had this one for over 5 years. No problems at all. Face is baby smooth after shave. Battery life has been about 10 days before needing a recharge.

Ace: I've owned a lot of electric razors including Braun, Remington and other Norelcos. This is absolutely the best. It shaves close and is super easy to clean and holds a charge. I'm so glad I got sick of my last one and upgraded.

Distinguished: The shaver is excellent. It shaves much faster than my previous Phillips that I had for about 12 years. The shave is clean and fast.

Cleaning is more difficult than my previous version. I was using alcohol and cotton balls to clean the previous one, but the way this one is made, I can't reach some parts that need cleaning. I tried Q-tips, but that doesn't reach either. I can only rinse the best I can with water, but that doesn't get all of the hair particles. It won't build up too bad as long as you keep rinsing it, but I would like to clean it completely.

And if I had to nitpick, the pop-out trimmer isn't stable when you pop it out. It doesn't lock into place. You have to sort of hold it in place while you trim, or hold the shaver in a certain way.

All in all, I still give it 5 stars for its fast and clean shave.

LarryC: I no longer shave with a blade in the shower and use this daily - dry. It works pretty well but is not as close as a blade, but close enough for all but formal events and special occasions. I've had this for maybe 6 months, use it daily on light to medium facial hair and rarely charge it - twice since I've owned it. I have no real problems with it, but wish it shaved a bit closer, wish it was a wet/dry shaver, and wish it was a tad smaller so it would be practical for travel/ Those are not complaints as the product is exactly as designed and marketed. I take off one start because the product feels somewhat cheaply made. I have no reason to believe it will not last, but the feel in the hand is impressive. I do recommend this for someone wanting an, admittedly, low cost full size shaver. Now that I'm bought in to the electric shave, I will be buying one of their higher priced models.

Kindle Customer: A great razor for twice this price. I have had this razor now for a month. I do not have a heavy thick beard but is old tough hair. This razor cuts it wonderfully well. The best electric that I have had. This is fourth electric I believe and I would buy it again. It did take several hours to charge and to recharge it but it lasts a good long time once charged. Does it cut as close as a blade? No, but it cuts very close and looks as good. Easy to clean. Open it up and shake the residue out and tap it gently in the trash can. Rinse with hot water and allow it to dry. Good to go. I recommend this razor and would buy again.
