Amazon Customer: I preface my review with that fact that I haven't had a proper electric shaver with rotary blades for quite a few years. I had been using standard trimmers that had no rotary blades. The one that did have them did pretty well. Having said that, I love this razor and thus far have had no issues. Although I've only had it for a little over a month. Maybe I've been late to the game, but when I shave with the rotary blades I don't have to check for my next shave for 3-4 days. I think I can thank the lift and cut feature for that. The ease of swapping attachments for a quick trim is also a huge plus. I'm a gadget geek, so all the indicators on the base of the razor make me feel like it's talking to me. Side note, the lock feature has paid off as my jealous girlfriend has tried to steal it to shave her legs due to my face being so soft :D. Might have to get another... The only downside that I can come up with is the cleaning base. It seems to clean a little too often and I think this may be because of the cleaning solution that will inevitably run out. I don't like giving glimmering reviews typically, but all and all I'm very happy with this razor provided it lasts a reasonable amount...

SportsTrainer8: The shaver arrived toady. It was a lot to set up and takes up a good amount of the bathroom counter space (which I have very little of) in my smash bathroom. Right out of the box it needed took be charged and I was surprised that it started a cleaning cycle. Compared to another effective razor I had previously (sorry Braun) that also it's self cleaning it only took 10 minutes to cycle through the entire process. It have me a really good, close shave. Event hough It is a little cumberson to change to the trimmer, even that it's better then my previous Norelco's attached trimmer.

LAWebGuyLAWebGuy: As someone who's tried more than his share of electric razors, I'm always a bit skeptical when I try a new razor because they tend to all be the same. This one stood out because it came in such a large box for a Norelco razor - and a quickly realized why, once I saw the SmartClean device that came with it.

TLDR Version: I love the new Norelco 5700 because it gives me a super close shave either wet OR dry - and the accompanying SmartClean device let's you start each shave as though the razor was brand new! You can see my BEFORE and AFTER shots in the attached photos!

To start with, aesthetically, this is one of the better looking units - with a solid grip and a very modern set of LED displays that are only visible when necessary (like when it's charging). The 5700 charges completely in an hour - and should have enough charge to get you through at least a week-long trip of daily shaves (this is a requirement for me to even consider a product). If you've shaved with a rotary shaver (those 3 circular cutters) before, you know that the challenge is to continuously make circular motions gently across your neck and face (like a drunk Zamboni driver) in order to ensure that...

Brian AllynBrian Allyn: This is a great electric shaver from Phillips Norelco. I have been using electric shavers for 20 years and almost all of mine have been Norelco. This is their newest version. The shaver comes with triple heads to allows easier shaving. The heads have 5 direction flex heads and work dry or wet. The unit also have a turbo button to give a extra 10% power on those hard to reach ares. The heads are a lot more flexible than my last shaver and the heads are larger allowing for a larger shaving area. This did cut down on my shaving time on my very first use. Shaver comes with a 2 year warranty, if you register the unit online, you get a extra 6 months warranty.

The unit comes with shaver, SmartClick Precision trimmer, SmartClean system, power cord and travel case (please see pictures). The shaver also has a travel lock feature to lock power from coming off while traveling to save battery. The shaver only takes a hour to fully charge and last 45 minutes. While charging it shows current battery power. Cleaning the blades was very easy after shaving. Also has Smart clean system (see pictures) that allows heads to be cleaned, lubricated and shaver charged at the same time. So far I am...
