Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A handsome looking machine to let loose on one's flesh I thought at first use and still think so some dozens of shaves later. Fits in the hand well and the three cutting heads offer an impressively large shaving area and don't forget the rather clever pivoting head to meander round every facial crevice. The countdown timer is a neat addition, too. I was a bit skeptical about this because I expected, as it got down to just a few minutes remaining, the motor would get noticeably slower, as it did with my previous Remington (the MS2291) but at zero minutes it seemed to be going strong. However as this is a rechargeable unit the internal battery will wear out even allowing for the twice yearly complete discharge. My prediction is that the battery will last about four years with normal daily use.
This is the first shaver that I've used that has a hinged cutting head. Normally I would remove the whole thing for cleaning but as this shaver can be cleaned under a tap the head flips open to a right angle. The head can be removed though by gently pulling it out of its housing. Incidentally the replacement cost for the three cutters and plastic fixing part is about $30.
The R8150 gives an excellent shave but not necessarily a quick one. My Remington MS2291 beats it hands down for a fast smooth finish. I can't see how rotary heads can cut quicker than foil ones. I'm assuming that as Norelco has been using rotary technology for years Remington decided to offer both types: foil and rotary and cut into Norelco's market share.
The unit comes with a stand/charger and it would have been helpful if this had been designed to allow it to be screwed to a wall near the bathroom shaver point outlet. Of course, it's no problem to by pass the charger and just plug the shaver into a three-pin adapter and recharge it at any power point.
