Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco Razor 8270XL Men's Rechargeable Cordless Razor SpeedXL Deluxe Special Edition
Customer Review: great geezer shaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
i've been using norelco shaving products all of my life. the pivoting head, "cool blue" LEDs, & easy rinse head keeps the norelco shaver @ the head of the pack! while the younger crowd may like the "Star Wars style" of the latest models, this 8270 works for me!Customer Review: Good shave, disappointng details
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace my trusty Norelco Quadra 6886XL which, after nine years, couldn't retain a charge.
This 8270XL shaves very close and fast. The blue LEDs are pretty. It is light and the rubber grip is comfortable.
There are two things I don't like about it though.
The charging base is laughably light. I need two hands to lift the razor off it. Also, the charging cord isn't coiled. I'm not sure I'll keep it. I have 45 days to decide. My satisfaction is in the details.
Customer Review: Good, but overpriced.
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to use the last 18 years Norelco el.shaver. It was very good.
I purchaesd a new one. It looks good and the first week was ok with it.

The "only one item, order soon" is only marketing slogan. When I ordered the store has got "only one"... How many only one have got?
Before you order, look around locally for a better price. I am sure, that you can find.
Customer Review: Price doesn't equate to performance
Summary: 3 Stars
Reviews in general tend to be either overly effusive or harshly critical, depending on one's experience of whatever was purchased. I am wary of both.
With electric shavers, I guess performance is partially based on the contours of one's face and the nature of one's beard.
For years I had been making do with an inexpensive electric (rotary) shaver - Philips Norelco Reflex 6853XL.
Finally I decided to step up to a more pricey model, figuring that bigger money = better quality.
I did my due diligence on the review circuit and decided to stay with my previous brand, Philips Norelco. This model (8270) received good reviews in most cases.
So what's the lowdown?
I had convinced myself that the Reflex 6853XL wasn't doing a good enough or fast enough job, and it was on the way out. This new model arrived looking very futuristic in comparison to the old one, complete with blue LED lights.
In the main category, performance, it is not a huge improvement over my previous shaver. I should have realised that companies have been making electric shavers for years now, and have never been able to match the closeness of a blade, no matter what the 'latest innovations' try to tell us. I guess for the money I was expecting the shaver to magically produce an effortlessly 'smooth-as-a-baby-butt' shave, and showing me how much the industry have advanced over the years. In reality, I have to work this shaver hard, going over my face several times to get a satisfactory smooth shave. Neck and sideburn areas prove too difficult for this shaver to get right first time.
Still, I don't dislike it that much. It's well built, very quiet, charges quickly, and being able to wash it under the tap afterwards certainly makes maintenance a lot easier. I will keep this now and make the best of it, but I almost feel I owe my old shaver an apology. To think I could have spent even more on other models!
I can't help thinking maybe a Braun foil shaver type might be better for me, but I don't know because I never tried one out.
