Philips Norelco arcitec 1050CC

Pros: good charge hold time easy cleaning option

Cons: bad head design bad trimmer placement not enough bang for your Buck

The Bottom Line: Fair not worth the price

Review: I have tried many electric shavers and felt that this product should be fairly nice for all the hype it claims it can do. I wasn't pleased with it at all and considering the price I was even more unhappy with this purchase.I have had many other shavers ...

Pros: Close shave, nice travel case, lightweight.

Cons: High price/value ratio, non-adjustable shave height, narrow trimmer, "feels" cheaply made. 

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is that potential customers should steer clear of this particular product.  There are too many negative points associated with this product for the price paid.

Review: In my opinion, Philips/Norelco really blew it with the advent of their new arcitec 1050 shaver.  My wife purchased this for me as a replacement for my lost Smart Touch 9160 XL.  The high points include a really close shave, large ...

Pros: Good shave.

Cons: Awkward design. Head falls off.

Review: I have used a Phillips/Norelco shaver for over 20 years and love the shave. I had to try their new shaver. But this package is not good. The shave is good but design is awkward to use. The straight body actually hurts my hand to use. The head keeps ...

Pros: Cleaning System Highly Improved

Cons: Poor Overall Shaving,Many Passes Needed,Poorly Designed Trimmer

Review: The only thing that Norelco improved with it's new Arcitec Shaver, is its Cleaning System.Finally Norelco has caught up with it's competitors with the Arctitec Cleaning System which unlike its previous models,lets you know when the cleaning is done,as ...

Pros: rotating head

Cons: just slightly better than average shave, so over priced & bulky cleaner, AVOID

The Bottom Line: Wait for this to drop to $50, then don't get the use it with the bulky cleaner

Review: I got this thing in November and it gave me the same shave, (or slightly better if i spent 10 plus minutes working on it) as I had been getting for years with other shavers. I got on their site and asked for help. I was told to just give it 3 weeks for ...

Pros: It looks great.

Cons: The blades do not stay on.,

Review: When the blades stays on you get not a bad shave, however it falls off at least 4 times when I am shaving. This is a very bad design feature, I have uses Philips shavers for many years this one looks good but it does not work very ...
