Philips Norelco Speed 8240XL Men’s Shaving System Review


I just received my Razor the other day. As with other reviews getting the razor out of the package is a little bit of a chore. I did as instructed and let the razor charge overnight even though after an hour, the indicator light was blinking fully charged. The razor is much quieter than my old norelco razor. The head pivots which alows for a more closer shave. The shave itself was smooth and thus far, no irratation to speak of. Clean-up was easy as you jut pop up the head and rinse with hot water.

There are no bells and whistles (carry case is flimsy and there is no charging stand) and it is as others have stated a basic razor. But it is such an upgrade from my old norelco in which the batteries were wearing down and the shave was very rough. So far I am pleased with the shave and at .99 on amazon (including shipping) it is very good value for the price.

Thus, if you are looking for a good basic electric razor, this one is a pretty good choice.

Philips Norelco 7310 Men’s Shaving System Review


Strictly from a shaving performance point of view, this model performs as well as much more expensive Norelco shavers. I also own a Norelco 8175XL that costs 3 times as much and uses the blades advertised as having “50% more shaving area.” This shaves as fast, close, and comfortable as the more expensive shavers. If you’ve owned older Norelco shavers, you’ll be pleased by advances such as a quiet motor, lithium ion (LiOn) batteries instead of nickel cadmium (NiCad), and the ability to clean the shaver by running it under the faucet. What it lacks is some indicator that the battery is running low. Some reviewers have commented on the fact that it takes 10 hours to recharge, whereas more expensive Norelco’s rechage in 1 hour. I actually prefer the slower charge. The fast charge razors state that you should unplug the charger as soon as the charge is complete. I find it much more convenient to plug it in either overnight or when I go to sleep, then to remember to unplug it in an hour. Overall, a great value for the money.

Philips Norelco SpeedXL 8240XL Men’s Shaving System Review


Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my model 8240XL. I actually “downgraded” from an Arcitec model because I’m mostly bald and also shave the top of my head, but the loud Arcitec caused scrapes on top of my head that would scab up. Also, the small Arcitec trimmer was too short and imprecise for trimming the sideburns and the shaving head gets in the way of positioning this trimmer. Further, the Arcitec heads are impossible to take apart and clean thoroughly, so the heads would clog up with long hairs which took many tedious minutes to clean out with sharp tweezers!

The 8240XL provides relief from the above problems, giving a great shave, and the pitch and sound volume is surprisingly lower in a small bathroom. My only concern is the manual gave no indication how this “low-end” model, without a low battery LED, notifies the user of low battery charge. The answer is not that it simply slows down like a rubber band glider, but that it simply stops abruptly in the middle of a shave. The first time, I thought it was broken! To my delight, it resurrected after charging for a few hours. So, the moral is to always keep that charge cord handy. I know Norelco may love to charge – more for the upgrade model, but this is really a bit cheap on their part for what must be the tiny expense of adding the low battery LED to all models.
