usa18's Full Review: Philips Norelco arcitec 1050CC Electric Shaver
The only thing that Norelco improved with it's new Arcitec
Shaver, is its Cleaning System.Finally Norelco has caught up with it's competitors with the Arctitec Cleaning System
which unlike its previous models,lets you know when the cleaning is done,as well it drys the shaver.
However,one does not buy a shaver solely for its cleaning system!
The shaver leaves many "patches" of stuble.One has to shave
as many as 3 passes to get a smooth clean-cut shave.
The hair-chambers that collect the shavings are quite small,so if you have a heavy stuble,the shaver will not
be able to accomidate it!
I think that Norelco should go back to the drawing board
and make some major modifications to this shaver.
1)It should offer a "pivot-lock" like Braun & Panasonic
do.
2)It should double or triple the size of the hair collection chamber.
3)It should re-design the trimmer,it's present design makes it very awkward and cumbersome to use,its situated
too close to the shaver heads.
