Advantages: Closest electric shave yet, self cleaning
Disadvantages: Still not as good as a wet shave

...The best electric shaver I have used to date. I generally have a wet shave once a week and electric shave for rest of week due to easily irritable skin. This gives the closest electric shave I have experienced to date, although it is not brilliant around the throat and adams apple area and requires several attempts, but that has been the same with every other shaver I have used. I particularly like the 'docking station' which charges and cleans the shaver, i use it once a week and that is sufficient for charge and it is always very clean after the cleaning cycle. This alone saves me hours of dismantling and careful cleaning as with others I have previously used. Each cleaning fluid container lasts several months at this usage and are relatively cheap to replace, about £8 I think I paid. I have been using it for 7 months now... Read review

Advantages: Works well when new
Disadvantages: Always breaking down. Difficult to use on stairs

...My daughter in law bought a DC07 a couple of years ago as her friend said they were great. I told her she must be mad as they are expensive (about £300) and Which said they are amongst the most unreliable cleaners around. She was adamant however and bought the purple & green model with hepa filter - ie. quite a high end model and at first was delighted. Within 3 months she was complaining that it needed repair. After 6 months she was getting really fed up as it was always giving problems - overheating and noisy. 2 years down the line she came to me and said "I give in - can you help me find a Henry at a good price. I happened to have just been offered a big discount (from a mail order cataloque) which allowed me to buy the new Henry Hound for £90. Well, Henry Hound arrived and the feedback is that it is the "Best vacuum I have ever... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use with 3 heads and cuts cleanly
Disadvantages: can take a bit of time to keep up with the cleaning out process

...I have had one of these since their launch as a christmas gift 2005. The best thing about the shaver itself is the amount of time one full charge will give you for full usage. I have been impressed by this as i only charge mine every 10 days or so! The wet shave feature is good but can be a little messy at times if you dont get the cartridge placed correctly, however this said when using the wet shave facility it does make for a much more pleasant shave as you dont get irritation. The shaver is easy to use,easy to manage handling wise and looks pretty cool too! If you prefer to dry or wet shave this will suit anyone and works as well in either capacity. Another good feature of the shaver is that it does actually cut longer hair instead of riiping it out like some razors do, so all Grizzly Adams wannabees are safe enough.... Read review
