Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 9190XL SmartTouchXL Shaver
Customer Review: Love This Shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my Norelco Spectra with this Smart-Touch 9190 XL and it works as advertised. I liked the Spectra, but compared to it the XL simply outclasses the old one.
The XL takes less time, shaves closer and is quieter. It also has a much bigger chamber to hold the cut hair. And the trimmer works well. According to the manual, it takes up to 3 weeks to conform to your skin and you may get some irritation until it gets broken in. I set it to sensitive and have had very little skin irritation from day one.
It has some nice features including a screen that tells you how many minutes you have used and how many you have left. Or, you can change the display to a battery indicator. It also tells you when to rinse, charge the razor and change the blades. Another nice feature is the travel lock. You hold the power button for 3 seconds and it locks which prevents it from accidentally turning on. The charging base has a little clock, but I do not see the point in that.
My old razor had the digital information screen so that is what I wanted in a new razor. However, if you do not need or want that feature then I would suggest getting the cheaper model. I think all the other features are the same on both, plus you would save a lot of money. Personally, I like the 9190XL but the choice is up to you.
Pros:
Faster shave.
Closer shave.
Information screen.
Easily rinses clean.
Holds charge for a long time.
Quiet operation.
Cons:
Pricey.

The 9190XL enables you to personalize your shave with three comfort settings that adjust to your skin type for maximum comfort in sensitive areas. The centerpiece of Norelco's precision cutting system are the ultra-thin heads with slots to shave long hairs, and holes to shave the shortest stubble. In addition, each head "floats" to align the razor sharp blades and bring them closer to your skin for the smoothest shave imaginable. Of course, no Norelco would be complete without the patented reflex action system that automatically adjusts to every curve on your face, and the superior "lift-and-cut" technology that uses a dual stainless steel blade system to lift hair, and cut it comfortably below the skin level. And once your skin is baby-smooth, simply rinse the razor clean, clip on the included protective razor head cap, and store your 9190XL in the automatic charging stand.
This razor also comes fully equipped with an LCD display with multi-function indicators. So you know that you're razor is tuned just for your face, the display shows your personal comfort setting. The display also features an audible buzzer alarm and travel lock, battery capacity indicators, and a shaving head replacement/cleaning indicator. Plus, the razor comes with a sleek, stylish stainless steel storage pouch and the automatic charging stand features a handy, built-in clock.
