Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough
Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...)
I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about £140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points.

The Unit
~~~~~~~
At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient.
The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand.
The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre.

Advantages: Very fast efficient way of making healthy tasty drinks Disadvantages: None
I was originally planning to buy a Jack La Lanne - my original juicer purchased years before at the Ideal Home Show had given up and I had my heart set on a whole fruit juicer. The Jack La Lanne was expensive and I saw the Philips in a London store for just under £100 and bought it. It is easy to use, very easy to take apart for cleaning and re-assemble. It is a very effcient juicer and the pulp which comes out is nearly dry which is a sign of a good juicer.
A couple of years later I saw one of the La Lanne models on special offer and decided there would be no harm in owning a "spare". I was very disappointed. The juicer has more parts that need cleaning after use and takes longer to dismantle. It is also noisier than the Philips.
For anyone who has seen the hyped up ads for the La Lanne Juicer, and is torn between the two ...

Philips Arcitec
This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers. A lot of marketing in support of this product with a high price of about 160 to 250 GBP is not just a hype but true. It is actually a great product and thus its price should not stop it to capture the market.
Quality of Shave
The Quality of the Shaver is always determined from its ability to remove hairs. My shave has always been a challenge for the shavers and this one proved to be a good performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to ...
The AJ3145 has a nifty robo-design too unique to ignore. And this slick little unit is a real performer. You can wake to your choice of AM/FM or beeper, and set two alarms independently for people with different wake-up times. A 24-hour alarm reset automatically resets the alarm for the same time on the next day. A big, easy-to-find slumber key lets you get some extra sleep. And a battery backup keeps things running on schedule in case of power failure.
