Pros: Does damn near everything it advertises, easier to clean than other Norelco models Cons: Shaves no closer than lesser Norelcos, expensive
Enough slumming with the riff-raff. It's high time that I mingled among the rich and famous, if only for a few weeks. The Norelco 6885XL Quadra Action Razor is where the shaving elite meet. I gave my yeoman Norelco 5801XL the rest of the month off and...
Having been a long time user of Norelco shavers (7 years with the 985RX, and a number of years with a forgotten model before that) I was surprised at the results I experienced when I tried the 6885XL for the first time.
Pros: Quick shave, quiet, hard travel case, good results Cons: A little expensive, but worth it
I purchased this shaver three years ago when my car was broken into and my old electric shaver was taken. I was not really heartbroken about having the old one stolen because I hardly ever used it. It was one of those el-cheapo things that I kept in the ...
Pros: This is the best Norelco I've used in over twenty years of shaving. Cons: Pop up trimmer not as effective as prior models - can't figure out why.
I've been shaving with Norelco razors since the seventies. (OK, 1979) I'm on my fifth razor and by golly with this model Norelco has pushed rotary blade performance to a new level. I'll rate each of the categories from 0-10, with zero being worst, ten...
Pros: All the Bells & Whistles Cons: Still not as close as a regular razor
Every few years, I have this nasty habit of leaving my electric razor in a hotel room. In the fall of last year I managed to "dispose" of whatever device I was using at the time. I hate carrying around a normal razor and can of shave cream (the...
Pros: REALLY close shave, LCD display, cool design Cons: Very expensive, but worth it (as long as you don't lose it)
I'm a 21 year old college junior with better things to do than spend 5-10 minutes a day lathering up and getting out the old razor. While I don't think any shave will ever compare to a Mach 3 razor, after owning this Norelco Quadra 6885XL for over two...
Pros: Very close, quiet, quick. Easy to clean, quick charging, long lasting charge Cons: none
I bought a Braun and this Norelco to see if I prefer the rotary design or the Braun's foil design. And after using both, I'll have to say I like the rotary... much better.
Norelco says it takes about 3 weeks for your skin to adjust to the...
Pros: Does its job, nice design, long battery life Cons: Can't use it in the shower, rather spendy
The Purchase
After using a decent lower-end Braun electric shaver, I didn't have a very good opinion of electrics. With my Braun, I could shave my face, but it couldn't defeat my neck hairs, forcing me to also use a regular razor.
...
Pros: Looks, cleans with water, displays, case Cons: Price, Price, Price
When I took out my credit card to purchase this $130 razor at Target, I wondered whether it was worth it. I have only used it once and believe the answer is yes if you appreciate more than just a close shave. If your primary focus in choosing a razor is...
Pros: easy to clean, quiet, close shaves Cons: cost, non-user-replaceable NiCD batteries, bulky case
I've mostly used electric razors over the last 15 years or so, the main reason being that shaving with a blade really irritates my skin. I've only ever used Norelco razors, so this review is inevitably a bit biased.
Pros: Sleek design, durable, long battery life, excellent pop-out trimmer Cons: Expensive, does not give a great shave, maintenance costs
When I first laid eyes on the Norelco 6885XL, I initially was captivated by its sleek design and overall appealing appearance. The price was expensive, but with a trusted name like Norelco, how could I go wrong? However, this shaver fell far short of...
Pros: Quiet, smooth shave. Cons: Large travel case, large price tag.
I've had my Norelco 6886XL shaver (the Costco version of the 6885) for two months now. The 6886 comes with the shaver, travel case, cleaning brush, electrical cord, and 12V auto cord. I bought it to replace an 10 year old Norelco 905RX, and I'm a...
I’ve been using Norelco electric razors for about 15 years now. This is the best razor I’ve ever used! I hadn’t shaved for 4 days when I bought this one – it didn’t pull or hurt to shave, I didn’t have to press hard to get everything. I am very...
Pros: light, cordless, portable and has built in clippers Cons: none that I can think of
About a year ago I finally got fed up of using disposable razors since they did nothing but ripped apart my face and left me with razor burn. I decided to go out and buy an electric razor. I tried my friends foil type razor and the only way I got rid...
