Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 6843XL Reflex Plus Rechargeable Cord/Cordless Men's Shaving System
Customer Review: I also like the fact that it doesn't require a separate charging stand...
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike others, my motivation for going with electric shaving was based on medicine. That is, I am so many different blood thinners that, no matter what shaving system I use, I managed to get at least a small cut or two and these would bleed and bleed, etc. So, it occurred to me to try an electric razor. I read the generally excellent reviews posted at this site--thanks to all of you guys for your input! I decided on this middle of the line Norelco. It's a couple of models from the bottom; the bottom one is cord only, the next one is cordless only, and then comes this model. I spent some time at the store looking over the different blade systems; even Norelco alone has several going. I knew I didn't want that squishy mess like the most expensive, and I was reluctant to sink a small fortune into something I might not like. What decided most of all for me to get this 'Reflex Plus' system was that it has a whisker collection chamber so they don't go all over the place. I think the model(s) above this have lithium ion batteries, whereas this model still has NiCads--which I hate. If I traveled more than I do, I'd spring for the model above for about $10 more. NiCads are slow to charge and are generally crummy; I've been using them in photo equipment for 30 years. This particular razor can be used just as easily plugged into the wall, which I like. I also like the fact that it doesn't require a separate charging stand, you just plug the cord into the bottom.
How did it shave? Great for me. I'm blond with a fairly soft beard and it plowed through about 3 days' worth of beard, making a chopping sound the whole time. I felt an occasional 'pull' but then this was fairly long beard. Once the long hair was gone I found it quite smooth to shave with. I bought some 'Lectric Shave' at the store at the same time I bought the razor but I didn't use it. Having fairly light-colored hair on my face, I never have the Fred Flintstone look regardless. I found, though, that the razor certainly got my beard acceptably close. I can still feel hair on my face, but not to an unacceptable degree. I have usually used a German Mercury double-edge razor with Wilkinson Sword blades and this doesn't shave that close. It might do better or different with another's beard. As for me, I'm delighted, and it didn't cut me at all. I'm in my forties, so don't have any deep wrinkles, etc., to cut through. That might be different.
Unlike some of the other razors I looked at, this model is light to hold and not bulky. Some of the other, more expensive models seemed both huge and heavy. I wasn't willing to mess with that. Having only used this a couple of weeks, I can't speak to the long-term durability. Seems appropriate to the price, though. I don't think it'll cost me particularly more than blades and shave gel in the long run. It is very quiet. I am looking forward to many more pleasant shaves!
Customer Review: The beard trimmer is excellent and easy to clean unlike my old remington...
Summary: 4 Stars
i've been using electric shavers for years and this one works great...
pros:
1. you can use it when plugged in (although you obviously need to be careful about water)...no more 5 o'clock shadow because the battery isn't charged.
2. it's multi-voltage, which means you can plug it in almost anywhere in the world (with an adaptor) and it will just work.
3. The beard trimmer is excellent and easy to clean (unlike my old remington, where hair would get stuck in the beard trimmer and be impossible to get out)
cons:
1. it's a little on the big side, not so much that it's uncomfortable to hold but for travel it would be nice if it were a bit smaller.
2. the case is made of el-cheapo vinyl or something similar, they should have sprung for a nicer case with a little padding.
Customer Review: Quite often I cannot get near an outlet or have a handicap mirror available...
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the Norelco cord/corded razor because I am in a wheel-
chatr. Quite often I cannot get near an outlet or have a
handicap mirror available, and I have to shave by the
"feel-only method". The Norelco cord/cordless razor allows
me a versatility in how and where I shave. For me this
product is SUPER.

Customer Review: My first Norelco finally died recently after 13 years of use.
Summary: 5 Stars
My first Norelco finally died recently after 13 years of use. With that kind of reliability, along with the positive reviews I read here, I decided to replace it with another Norelco, the 6843XL. I LOVE this razor. It's much quieter than my old one, which makes my wife happy when I'm shaving while she's still trying to sleep. And it shaves much closer than my old one, even shaving every day. It looks cool, keeps its charge well, and comes with a nylon carrying case. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Very good value.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using Norelco shavers for 30 years and this model continues the trend of quality products put out by Norelco. The unit is attractive and functions efficently. Great cut and smooth across the face. I use it for my travel and I am pleased with the charge it holds. Very good value.

Norelco ReflexPlus 6 Shaving System model 6843XL. Contour control, individually floating heads and Lift and Cut, create a close, comfortable shave with the ReflexPlus shaving system. 8-hour full charge.This mid-range Norelco Reflex Plus shaver delivers the smooth-shave technology of the top of the line models in a simplified, straightforward model. Its design combines a multi-directional flexible surface and individually floating heads for close, contour-hugging action. Like the rest of the Reflex Plus line, it uses Norelco's Lift and Cut technology to gently raise whiskers then cut them cleanly for a super smooth, below-the-skin shave. Conveniently designed for corded or cordless use, the shaver produces 30 minutes of shave time on an 8-hour charge. An LED indicator light signals when charging is in progress.
The shaver is structurally comfortable with helpful details like a built-in hair chamber, full-width pop-up trimmer, and fully removable razor head. Worldwide voltage adaptability and a sturdy travel pouch make it easy to take on the road, while a protective razor head cap and cleaning brush simplify maintenance. The metallic blue casing adds a little pizzazz to the daily grooming routine. Norelco backs the shaver with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee and a two-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
