Review of Norelco 8160XLCC Speed-XL with Jet Clean System Shaver

The shave I get with this is fine, but be warned: The Norelco SpeedXL series has a built in blade life. Once Norelco thinks you need to change the blades (and they tend to think you should spend the $36more often than you will want), the shaver disables itself.

The way it does this is that it turns on the "change blade" warning LED. And this LED uses so much power that it drains the batteries in just over one day. Worse yet, the shaver will not operate unless the battery is charged, so this results in a dead shaver until you replace the blades.

Way to go Norelco. I used to be a big fan.
