Philips Norelco Shaver 2400 Series, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, Pop-up Trimmer, P-Cap, Deep Black, Model X3001/90

Have had for less than a month, and so far, this Norelco 2400 shaves amazingly fast and does not leave any patchy areas that I have to pass over again and again like some shavers require, like another brand rotary shaver that I just returned. Only once did I get this one to pull/snag a hair, but I was testing it by moving it crazy-fast over a several day hair growth, and finally made it do so. Otherwise, under normal use, it never snags hair. For several day hair growth, I probably should pass over my face first with beard clippers, but this does great on 2 or 3 day length hair. It probably doesn't shave as microscopically close as a foil, but it shaves close enough that I'm not using the foil shaver anymore. It also cuts the laid-down, longer hairs that a foil shaver cannot cut.

Excellent shaver. Very quiet and does an adequate job. I still need to use my Braun shaver for locations where I want a really close shave, but this shaver is much quicker and can handle the longer whiskers better (I don't shave every day).I'm very happy to see that it has a NiMH battery. Better battery than Lithium Ion when you have a high-drain application (like running a motor). Also charges much faster. When I was looking at shavers with Li+ batteries, I saw 8 hours charging for 40 minutes of use. This shaver with the NiMH battery charges in 1 hour for 30 minutes of use. And - yes - I did test that. I got 58 minutes to a full charge (from 0) and then ran it for 26.5 minutes. Close enough.Not to mention that Li+ batteries drained down to 0 (like, say, when your shaver accidentally gets turned on in your luggage), are damaged. NiMH batteries should be drained to 0 once in a while to help with longevity.In case you're wondering - I worked in an electronics testing facility for years. I ran tests on battery charging and discharging systems.

Good razor not great. Price is fair. Functions all work. My two complaints are: You have to purchase a power adapter to plug the usb cord into an electrical outlet. And motor feels week, I own an older Norelco that I use for traveling. It feels like it is more powerful.

I just got the Norelco 2400 today, it shaved my two day growth surprisingly easily. The shave was as close as my Braun shaver, but admittedly, not as close as a blade. That is OK. I got it hoping it would be as good as the Braun because Rotary shavers are dramatically quieter than any reciprocating shaver. Let me explain. I am older, and use hearing aids due to noise related hearing loss. I can’t afford to lose any more hearing. The old shaver was like a jet engine noise as I shaved near my ears. This one is a quiet hum, that alone is worth it for me.An added bonus is that it shaves comfortably, charges quickly and his water resistant. I will be very interested to see if it continues to shave as well as it did today my first time with it, as the rotary cutters get a little dull and gummed up with use. I plan on ordering some replacement cutter heads to have ready when the shave quality starts to deteriorate.The shaver is an excellent value, giving me a surprisingly good shave. And, it is quiet! Saves my remaining hearing and as an added bonus lets the early morning household sleep in.Oh, one more thing. To those reviewers that complained that it doesn’t work while plugged in, understand that some customers might not be savvy enough to realize that bringing a plugged in shaver into the shower might not be good, even though it’s just a 5 V USB charge. The shavers that are ok to use wet are designed not to work while plugged in due to safety reasons.

After over five years of daily use with my old Philips shaver, I finally decided it was time for an upgrade — and the Philips Norelco 2400 Series has been a fantastic replacement. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I’m very satisfied with its performance.The shave is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. It glides easily over the skin and handles both short stubble and longer hair without pulling or irritation. I was pleasantly surprised at how much the technology has improved since my last model — this one feels faster and more efficient.Battery life is great, and I love that it’s easy to clean. For the price, it delivers excellent value. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the higher-end models, but it does exactly what I need — and does it well.If you’re looking for a reliable, no-fuss electric shaver at a reasonable price, I highly recommend the 2400 Series. It’s a solid choice whether you’re upgrading from an older Philips model or just starting with electric shaving.

I bought this shaver a year ago and it worked great for the first few months. Slowly the blades became dull and now it doesn't cut at all. I now get a better cut with the trimmer than with the rotary blades. I'm shopping for another shaver and it won't be a Philips.

I started using Philips/Norelco electric razors back in the day. I had a triple header plug in model that finally died, and now I have an old plug in double header. I was reluctant to order this one because I just didn't think an internal rechargeable battery could do the job. Well, I have used this razor for about one month, and I am now a believer. It is much quieter than the plug in model and vibrates less. It can shave a two day beard growth with no problem. It is marvelously easy to clean, and that is the greatest single improvement over my old plug ins. Amazingly, I can get about two weeks of daily shaves before recharging. Now each person's beard will be different, and different people will get different results. I do dry shaving with electric preshare when I use this razor. Once a week I shave wet with shaving cream and a safety razor to catch any long hairs that my electric may have missed. This Philips/Norelco X3001 can give me a shave that is equally close as that gotten with my safety razor. I am very satisfied with this purchase, which was also an excellent value.
