The best electric shave out there

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are interested in electrics then spend the money, get the best. The spectra pushes the performance and shave quality envelope.
Review: The flashy Norelco ads finally got to me and I ended up purchasing a new Norelco Spectra. Believe me, I had very high expectations and if this razor didn't give me the best shave ever then it was going back to the store for a full refund.

No hair, and no blood!

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: With very basic controls this is the bottom of the Spectra line. However the shave is just as good, and better than most in the business.
Review: I have detested blade razors for years. I have always ripped my face to shreds, or broken out. If I wasn't covered with blood there was a rash or a million zits. It was a lousy site. All through high school and college I could just put off shaving...

a most strange review of a most incredible electric shaver

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Ditch the blades, buy the Spectra. Like I said, this is my intro into the electric shaver world but oh what an intro it is .. life's good.
Review: Best thing since spam .. lite.

Based on recommendations here at epinions I reluctantly
walked into the store with $118 (U.S.), walked out with
a new toy, and a wallet $118 lighter :(

A little background .. I've never...

fun to use and smooth

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy this unit and avoid the more expensive models due to faulty reviews on the electronics.
Review: After years of Braun, I decided to try the latest Norelco with doubt in my mind. The Braun left razor burn and I was disappointed, so I gave the Braum away and purchased the 8825xl: the basic model. The fancier models recieved bad reviews on the...

Worth the extra money vs. the Quadra/7000 Series Models??

Date of Review:  May 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Norelco Spectra is probably the best rotary shaver on the market. But buy the Quadra/7000 series if you're looking to save $30 or $40.
Review: Definitely an excellent shaver, but I don't know that it has enough superior features over Norelco's 7000 series "Quadra" models to warrant paying so much more for it. The differences between the two are as follows:

(1) The Spectra system...

Finally, a good electric razor

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: This razor puts an end to electric razor compromizes. It will be hard to improve on this one.
Review: I've been through several Norelcos and a Braun and have never been fully satisfied with an electric razor, until now. Unfortunately, blade razors make my face break out. I usually choose an inferior electric shave over the irritation of a blade...

The Best Electric Shaver

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2004
Review: In my opinion one of the best electric shavers out there. I cut four days of beard growth in less than a minute without any blood or hair pulling. It can also be rinsed with water. Not to mention it's cordless or it can be used with the cord. Small...

Ouch. Right back to the store!

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2004
Review: I used the razor only once. I have both the top of the line Panasonic linear and this one. I am determined to switch from blades (stupid Gilette and their $2+ per blade) and was comparing the two electrics. This thing tore up my neck! Seriously, it...

Worse Norelco of all

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2004
Review: I bought the Norelco Spectra 8825 XL expecting to get the best. However, within 2 months, one of the blade covers broke and scratched my face all over before I knew what was happening. Now, 6 months later, two covers have broken and one of the drive...

Sensitive face, good shave

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2005
Review: I have been using the shaver now for a month. Prior to that, I haven't been shaving really. Ever since high school, I have had a hard time shaving due to extremely sensitive skin. For the past 15 years or so, I shaved with a beard trimmer, because...
