原文: I'm comparing this with my older Norelcos (one of which is from the 1980s!), and I can definitely say this is a step forward in many ways, but I also wonder if the basic functions are a step back:
PROs:
It charges fast, and I mean really fast. And one charge can last for weeks.
The attachments are fabulous. Norelco was really trying to do a true "all-in-one" shaver/trimmer/clipper, which is superb. Their goal is to replace several items in your medicine cabinet.
In some ways, their marketing doesn't seem to hit all the high points. The beard styler pops on & off super easy. It has an easy height adjustment, and also dubs as a neck trimmer, goatee trimmer, sideburns, etc.
The attachments perform flawlessly, and my wife says the shaver works great for legs. I just wish it worked as good as my old Norelco on faces...
CONS:
I really have two big gripes. First, I don't like the cleaning/docking system. It's large, convoluted, & you have to buy refills of the cleaning solution. However, this system will keep the shaver running like new, and it will definitely extends the blade life. But looking back at my old Norelcos (which lasted up to a decade with minimal maintenance), I have my questions about the necessity of this.
The shaver does clean out just fine without the cleaning station (rinse it out, but rinsing it out won't lubricate it like the cleaning station does).
My second (and biggest) gripe - the blades are too far apart. I suspect this is why it doesn't shave as well as my older Norelcos (I have a 3 yr old Norelco, a 10-yr old Norelco, and one from the 1980s, which just recently died). When I shave with my older Norelcos, all 3 rotors touch my face at once (at least partially). On this new system, only 1/2 of one rotor touches my face at once.
Since the blades/rotors are too far apart, I find the contouring system does not perform well. It takes longer to shave, and I find I have to push very hard against my face. They pivot great, and are super flexible, I just think they're too big and too far apart for details and corners. I have to go over my face about 10 times, and it always leaves some strays behind (I eventually have to grab a razor blade to finish the job, which makes me wonder why I bothered with the electric shaver to begin with).
Also, I notice any dampness on my skin or in the room (even some steam left over from the shower) makes it even more difficult. It just doesn't seem to glide very well without shaving gel. The shaving gel works great in the shower, or in a humid environment, but I just personally don't enjoy using shaving gel all the time.
In the final analysis, despite the bells & whistles on this device, I question whether this is truly an improvement on previous generations of Norelco shavers.`

译文: 我将它与我的旧Norelcos(其中之一是从20世纪80年代买的!)进行比较,我可以肯定地说,这是在许多方面向前迈进了一步,但我也怀疑基本功能是否退步:
优点:
它充电很快,我的意思是非常快。一次充电可以持续数周。
附件很棒。 Norelco真的想要做一个真正的“一体式”剃须刀/修剪器/剪裁器,这非常棒。他们的目标是更换药箱中的几个物品。
在某些方面,他们的营销似乎并未达到所有高点。胡须造型师的开启和关闭超级简单。它有一个容易的高度调整,并配成一个脖子修剪器,山羊剪,side角等。
附件完美无瑕,我的妻子说剃须刀支架很好用。我只是希望它能和我的旧Norelco一样好。
缺点:
我真的有两个不太满意的地方。首先,我不喜欢清洁、对接系统。这是庞大的,令人费解的,你必须购买补充清洁剂。但是,这个系统会使剃须刀像新的一样运行,并且它肯定会延长刀片寿命。但回头看看我的老Norelcos(历时长达十年,维护很少),我对这个问题的必要性有疑问。
如果没有清洁工作台,剃须刀可以清理干净(冲洗出来,但冲洗出来不会像清洁工作站那样润滑)。
我的第二个(也是最大的)抱怨 - 刀片相距太远。我怀疑这就是为什么它不像我以前的Norelcos(我有一个3岁的Norelco,一个10岁的Norelco,还有一个从20世纪80年代刚刚坏掉的Norelco)。当我与我的旧Norelcos刮胡子时,所有3个转子立即碰到我的脸(至少部分)。在这个新系统中,一个转子只有1/2的转子一下子接触我的脸。
由于叶片/转子间距太远,我发现轮廓系统的性能不佳。刮胡子需要更长的时间,我发现我必须非常努力地对抗我的脸。它们的支点非常好,而且非常灵活,我只是觉得它们太大了,不适合刮掉细节和角落的胡须。我必须经过我的脸大约10次,并且总是会留下一些多余的((我最终必须抓住一把剃须刀才能完成这项工作,这让我很想知道为什么我要用电动剃须刀开始)。
另外,我注意到我的皮肤或房间里有一点点潮湿(即使淋浴时留下一些蒸汽),这使得它使用起来更加困难。如果不剃刮凝胶,它似乎不会滑得很好。剃须凝胶在淋浴或潮湿的环境中效果很好,但我个人不喜欢随时使用剃须凝胶。
归根结底,尽管这款设备上设计比较花哨,但我质疑这是否对比起前几代Norelco剃须刀真正的有所改进。“
