Advantages: Lightweight, Very Close shave, Battery life= unbeatable. EVERYTHING IS TOP CLASS believe me! Disadvantages: having to boil my brain trying to find something to put here- NoThInG!
...just moved from a older philips (mains only) shaver which didnt compare atall too this. It's LEDs make it look very timeless in design also. NO IRRITATIONS from shaving!
Sure it is a high price to pay for a shaver but it is totally worth it. IT IS A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE and you feel 100% refreshed after using it!
I would recomend it to ANYONE! Young or Old, GRAB yourself a PHILIPS HQ8170! It is UNBEATABLE for quality and value!
TOP SHAVER! Thanks ...

My experience with it was less than exciting, I found this razor to lack in power (even when plugged). It feels like it's running on a very low battery. I thought at first it was the new technology and that it's so smooth that it was this quiet, but upon shaving, it almost dies! So needless to say that it took me twice the time to shave. At first I figure it was a manufacturing defect, but I exchanged 3 times t'il finally, I just returned it because ... ...can clean itself (even that's a task all by itself), but what's the use when it can't shave. Also, it's very pricey for something that can barely run. Also, I found the display to be outdated, I used to have an older model with a better display that actually was showing the time left, it didn't focus on lighting the rooms with LEDs. ...
