Pros 3 Rings In Each Shaving Head, The Charging stand, Comes With A Carrying Pouch.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted to have this shaver ever since I I saw the commercial for it during a Super Bowl XL advertising break.
There were more commercials for it on the NFL Network and knew the features by heart.

For my 23rd birthday back in June, my mother bought me this shaver and I've been a... Read full review »

Pros Long Battery Life, Adequate Shave.
Cons Overpriced -- not a good value.
Recommended it? No

I have been an electric shaver user for about 5 years. Recently I noticed the shave from my old shaver (for which I paid about $50)wasn't as close as I'd liked. The battery was beginning not to hold a full charge, I noticed a little rust and new heads would cost about $30, which was about the price... Read full review »

Hello everyone. I've never reviewed a product here before, but saw there were no reviews on this shaver and had to tell the world about it. The 9160XL is a top-of-the-line Norelco shaver with not 1, not 2 but 3 rotating razors for each razor head. Norelco describes this as "50% more shaving surface... Read full review »

Best Norelco for now!

Pros Offers the closest shave, price isn't bad compared with added features, pretty...
Cons If you're not used to electric shavers, you may get irritated skin.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a Norelco user for several years now. I have a thick beard, and am always looking for an electric razor that can give me the convenience of an electric, but also give me a close shave. When you figure that a Gillette razor with all those blades you have to keep replacing, an electric... Read full review »

A great shave and quiet, too.

Pros Quality, quietness, and quick!
Cons Price would have been a barrier if bought at full retail.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a shaver that is better than any I've ever used. I don't use blades as they irritate my skin. This shaver doesn't irritate my skin and shaves so closely that I don't have a five o clock shadow anymore. I used to shave every three to four days because my old shaver pulled my whiskers and...

Pros smooth, comfortable shave rinses under running water long battery life
Cons price charging stand
Recommended it? Yes

For me, this replaced an older model Norelco electric razor that i had for 10 years before the battery just stopped taking a charge. Based on my experience with my old Norelco, I was inclined to buy Norelco again and am glad I did.

This razor consistently gives a very close, comfortable,... Read full review »

Cons None at the present time.
Recommended it? No

I've had the Philips Smart Touch 9160XL Electric Shaver
for over a month now. The charge really does last 17 days.
It has a very close shave and is very quiet. I switched
from a Remington and am glad I did. With my previous shaver I many times would have to shave two times each day... Read full review »

Pros Quiet
Cons Not a close shave
Recommended it? No

I've used an electric razor for 15 years. I purchased the Smart Touch XL with the added Philips "Speed" option December 2006. It was the first triple head electric razor I've used in 3+ years. In the interim, I'd used a $25 single head Remington. The Remington actually had a much closer shave.

Cons None so far.
Recommended it? Yes

I received this electric shaver as an end of year holiday gift on 25 November 2006. I have been quite pleased with the shaves that I get from it. My shaves are 90 to 95% as close as I would get with a blade with none of the irritation and skin abrasion that accompanies blade shaving. Additionally,... Read full review »

Quietest electric razor I've tried

Pros Very quiet. Works with the cord plugged in if the battery is low.
Cons Charger doesn't automatically shut off after finishing. Charger Stand is difficult...
Recommended it? Yes

If you're looking for an unusually quiet, efficient electric razor, this is it. It's very effective on the neck area where the whiskers often grow in multiple directions. I've used foil razors in the past which typically aren't very good below in the neck area.

This type takes a little... Read full review »
