I have used my new Norelco 8240XL for about 3 weeks now, and I find it works very well in all respects. It shaves much closer than my old Norelco Arcitec, with which I was extremely disappointed. The shave is so smooth that the first time I used it, I ...

Pros: Easy cleaning, lightweight, shaves well, battery lasts reasonably long.
Cons: Catches longer hair like from sideburns.

I purchased this model from Costco online.  It is lightweight, and I liked the charging stand.  The razor is very quiet, compared to my old Norelco HP-1131 corded razor.  It has a comfortable shape, and is very easy to clean under hot water.  The Costco store had a lower model than the online store, which included the stand.  I had the model HP-1131 since 1979, and it just recently went bad.  So I was sure to buy another Norelco.  I like the swiveling of the head which is far better than my old razor.  I would say it shave about the same, which I was surprised about.  I thought they would have improved the cutting screens.  Nevertheless I recommend this razor because it does the job.  You'll never beat a razor blade, if that's what you're looking for.
