 "A good, average shaver at a modest price" | 2008-09-29 |

| My experience with Norelco shavers extends over thirty years. Owning more expensive models, I received an average of ten years economical service from each on my elderly face with a fairly light beard. Having reviewed a number of current models, the 7140 seemed most cost-effective. After using it for a month, I have determined the following: PRO's - It is designed to fit the hand well and the flip-type head simplifies cleaning. CON's - No sliding scale indicator to show state of charge. Runs at a relatively slow speed with slower shaving time. Bulky external transformer at end of charging cord. No storage case or pouch. |

| Gives a good shave, but the charge is good for only 30 minutes. According to the manual you have to charge it for 8 hours. My old one had a charge that lasted me for close to a month, and the charging was done in less than 8 hours. |

| I bought the same one before for myself. This time I buy it again for my father. When I was using it, I just have to recharge it 4 times a year. It is so convinient. |

| shaver has cheap (plastic) feel to it but the shave is okay to good; the absence of a low battery warning is a deficit |

This razor does provide a decently close shave, but I have pretty thick and strong beard hairs. This razor works very well and I use it on a daily basis. Every couple of days I use a disposable straight razor to get that even closer shave though.
The best part of this razor is that it can be used on battery or even while charging. This is extremely important since I use it every day and it does not warn you when it is getting low, although you can notice the motor getting slower as the battery dies.
This unit is washable so cleaning it is a breeze. After each use I just flip open the top and run some warm water over it.
Overall this is a very useful and convenient device to have in your grooming kit. |

| I switched to this shaver after giving up a very old Norelco shaver and have been just as pleased with this one. It is pretty simple, but pretty much does everything I need a shaver to do without getting in the way. The shave is better than any other electric shaver I've used, though of course not as good as a regular blade. Cleaning it is really easy as it is waterproof and you can just rinse it out. The fact that it will run while plugged into the wall makes this a much better choice for me than its more expensive cousins as I can still shave when the battery is low and I don't have time to charge. |

| I bought this shaver to replace an older model Norelco--a cordless "black" one. Now I don't know why I bothered to replace batteries and blades in the old one. This one is much quieter and shaves much closer than the old one when it was new. Since I am still using the first charge on it, there is nothing to report on durability, length of recharge life, etc. But if I were to replace it right now I would get another one just like it. |

I've used a "norelco" three-head style razor for 25 years. This one is lighter than the past 3 I've owned and the floating heads are tilted a little which makes it harder for me to get the shave I'm used to. I suspect my skill will improve, but at this point shaving to an acceptable closeness takes about 3 times as long as I'm used to. I do really like the ability to pop up the head and rinse it with water.

His face felt like he just shaved it. And he was all worried because we were headed for church. With his last razor, I could always see a little stubble even if he shaved that morning. A great product for a great price!

| "Un poco lenta..!" | 2008-08-11 |
| - Reviewed By danycat2 |
El producto es bueno. Es de facil manejo y comoda. Sin embargo, considero que la velocidad de rotacion se hace lenta a medida que se desgastan las baterias, lo cual dificulta y hace tedioso el afeitado, alargando el tiempo requerido para una buena afeitada.
Ademas, no tiene indicador de la vida de la bateria. |
