Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8140XL SpeedXL Men's Shaver
Customer Review: Best and fastest shave I have ever had.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought my husband the Norelco 8140XL because his Norelco 6885XL bit the dust. We bought the 8140XL based on customer reviews. Since using his new shaver, he has mentioned many times, "My 8140XL is, by far, the best shaver I have ever used". His face feels like a baby's behind in no time at all. His 8140 XL gives him the fastest and smoothest shave he has ever had. There is no razor burn. He actually looks forward to shaving in the morning. His only complaint is that the shaver is so light weight he has to concentrate on holding it tighter, so he does not throw or drop it.
My husband received his first Norelco shaver as a Christmas present 45 years ago. Before that he used various shavers that never came close to his first Norelco. He always says, "I will never buy anything but a Norelco". It appears Norelco is still #1 with him.

I don't leave many reviews here, but I had to write a quick "Thumbs Up" for this razor. It's the closest shave I've had with an electric razor so far. It's my first rotary. My previous razor's were Panasonic's and Braun foil razors. Two of those were more expensive than this one. I've always touched up with a twin blade razor... UNTIL NOW. Also, I shave my head. Not only is this great on my neck and beard, it even get my head including the tricky spots near the ears. Cleanup is quick and easy and I don't have to shell out $5 a bottle for some solution. I never had any razor burn and didn't need to give it a few weeks to adjust the manual suggested was common. The shave was close and comfortable from day 1. It's very quiet, which initially caused me to think it was underpowered. It's got a 60 day return policy - give it a whirl.Customer Review: "Speed" name is very fitting

I've had this since the beginning of Dec. '06, and so far, I'm impressed. The initial charge lasted about 2 weeks. The second charge is lasting almost 4 weeks - shaving 4 days a week.
The increased shaving area definitely cuts down on shaving time. And, don't let it's low weight fool you. In terms of "closeness," it does a very good job.
Cleaning is very easy - just rinse under water. It's recommended to take apart the cleaning heads once a month to clean. Again, very easy.
I switched to this model after several years using a Braun. The Braun did fine, but if the outer "foil" was damaged (small breaks in the metal), you were out of luck, had to buy replacement parts and be lucky that your face didn't get cut up in the process.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this product!
Customer Review: The perfect shaver. The best Quality-Price relationship!
Summary: 5 Stars
As usual, Philips came up with a great shaver.
It is easy to use, fast and comfortable. Easy to clean and reasonably priced. Easily the best Quality-Price relationship you'll find.
This shaver comes with the following elements:
- 1 Shaver.
- 1 Recharging base.
- 1 Cord that can connect the base with the power supply OR the shaver itself.
- 1 Brush to help cleaning the rotary heads.
- 1 Protective cap for the rotary heads.
- 1 Lovely and soft small case to keep the shaver when traveling.
- Instruction manual.
Press a button on the back of the shaver and open an additional grooming comb for longer hair (ideal for those who spend a week or two without shaving).
This is the best shaver in the market.
I am very satisfied.
Customer Review: wow
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is great! It beat my $45 Remington easily, no razor burn, super lightweight in comparison - it felt like picking up a feather - and it works great with shaving gel. The trimmer doesn't work so good but I noticed if you point it up, like on sideburns, it does get them, but not well, but if you finish it off with the round blades they go away. Water accumulates under the base but it doesn't get to be much. The only things I didn't like was that the base doesn't seem to match too well, it looks kinda cheap and as if they were trying to make the razor like some bust / statuette. I can think of a better design but I ain't given free info.
It's also hard to get it into the charging connector inside the base, you have to fiddle around a while till you get it right, and that is annoying.
