What's great about it: Good shave and self cleaning.
I love the shaver. This is one of the best electric shaves I've had, and it's nice that I can just put it on the stand and it cleans itself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: has jet clean system
What's not so great: price! less expensive razor works just as well
i got this unit about 2 months ago, thinking that top of the line razor with larger shaving area on the heads would be a good investment. it was an ok investment at best. i had a norelco razor with the lotion dispenser that worked just as well for less than half the price, only realy reason i purchased this unit, is that less expencsive on quit working. I have used this razor wet and dry. wet seems to work the best for me, dry, i have to go over neck area several times, and get realy serious razor burn. i have tried wet shave with non foaming shave cream and that seems to help with razor burn issue. razor does realy well after several passes, it will shave baby behind smooth as long as you have the time and patients. it does do a very good job on the neck, better than less expensive models, but does still miss some of the finer hairs. if you are a norelco fan, save your $$ and get a less expensive model, i wish they made them as well as they used to, but they dont unfortunatly.

What's great about it: Close Shave
What's not so great: ........?
One of the best electric shavers I've ever used. I've bought Braun before and was never satisfied from the closeness of the shave, but this is one electric shaver that I actually plan on keeping.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Light, Nimble and Good Looking
What's not so great: Does not shave very well
I have been using Braun shavers for 10 years now but needed a new one and bought this top of the line Philips Norelco shaver for $199. The main reason for buying this shaver was its looks. Great design, light and nimble. It did however not shave the way I expected as it is a higher end product. I tried it for a couple of weeks but returned it, I know Philips say to give the shaver a chance for 3 weeks but still the shave did not improve during this time. I bought the Braun 9585 and it works great. A very good shaver that shaves very close, $40 more expensive but in comparison those 40 give you a far better shave. There is still nothing that beats the Fusion blade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Review 6 for Norelco Arcitec Electric Shaver with Jet Clean System - Gray/Black
Smooth Shave
Customer Rating

What's great about it: I have owned several electric razors in the past and this one is the best so far. It gives a smooth, fast shave.
What's not so great: I still prefer my separate trimmer.
While this razor is expensive, it is by far the best one I have owned. My face is sensitive and I always get red and irritated after I shave no matter what electric razor I use, this one seemed to be a bit less irritating.
What I do love is the jet clean system. It really works great and does a great job of cleaning the razor. All in all it is a great razor and worth the price.

Not Worth It

What's great about it: It pretends to have nice features...
What's not so great: Functionality is not very good.
I bought this razor after comparing it to a a few other with similar price. At first I really appreciated all of the features that it comes with, but quickly found that it was lacking performance when shaving.
One of the worst things is that it caused me major razor burn, because I had to go over the same area over and over and over. Even after an unusually long time shaving, I still found spots that it missed. Luckily I wasn't very quick to get rid of my old razor, since I had to use that one to do the job this razor couldn't.
After giving this razor a try for about a week, I decided to return it. My advise is to not waste your money on this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: looks nice, easy to clean
What's not so great: causes razor burn b/c you have to shave the same spot repeatedly
There are other razors for cheaper that do as good of a job of shaving especially on the neck. This razor continually leaves hairs and even after going over the same areas on my neck repeatedly to the point of bleeding, there are still hairs that are missed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Looks nice, easy to clean
What's not so great: Isn't a great shaver
I purchased this for my boyfriend because he had heard a lot of great things about it. Unfortunately, after using it for a week, he's getting a lot of razor burn, especially on the neck, because it doesn't seem to cut that well. He needs to go over the same areas repeatedly to get the job done. His old cheaper Norelco does the same job for a better price. The cleaning system is great, but his old razor isn't really any harder to clean.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Design and cleaning feature
What's not so great: Worse Electric Razor That I've Ever Used
I agree completely with the other man's assesment. My old norelco (20 years old to be exact) does a much better job of shaving, and in less time. This unit takes too long and still leaves hair on my face. Horrible product. Only problem is that I've passed the 60 day warranty date and now I can't get my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Jet clean system is nice
What's not so great: It's 100 percent terrible at shaving
I bought this razor with high hopes that it would live up to the marketing campaign that pushed it. Unfortunately, the product is absolutely terrible.
Bottom line is it cannot shave your face at all. The design of this product is supposed to help shave the contours of your face, and after every shave, I feel like I didn't even shave, due to the many missed hairs that are still on my face, especially around the curves on my face. On top of that, there is a huge degree of razor burn after each use that is uncomfortable. For the time it takes me to use this razor and attempt to shave, I'm better off lathering up with shaving cream and shaving the old-fashioned way, because at least I know things will be done right.
The jet clean system works well in taking care of your razor and keeping it disinfected, but what's the use of that if your face won't be shaved to begin with?
If you're looking for a good electric razor, this is not the product for you. There are much better products out there than this one.
