Easy to use, does a solid job....
I've been looking for a new razor for a while. Had the Bond 8894 Spectra which was an awesome product. Why it is no longer offered is beyond me...Finally gave in and bought a 1290x, just couldn't live without the digital number of minutes left in the charge. The razor is easy to use, easy to clean, and fits nice in the hand. Still in the breaking in period so will have to see how close it shaves. I have a heavy beard.
My only negative comment has to do with the travel case. How are you supposed to travel with that case when you can't fit the cord or charger in it? Love to hear Norelco explain this. Just embarrassing for such an expensive razor.

Good Product
This is a well designed product. The only problem is that it will not recharge to full strength after two months of use.

This product gives a close shave quickly.
This is probably the most advanced, best performing mechanical shaver on the market. It is more expensive than others, but well worth the investment.

A step backward for Norelco.
Unable to get a close shave with this razor. Not as good as the 8 year old Norelco I replaced. Very easy to clean.

Top-of-the-line model worth it!
Been a fan of Norelcos for several decades now. Still have a 88XX series as a backup and really liked the digital battery monitor and shaving capabilities. Next one was a 6XXX series, but was never satisfied with it after the higher end model.
This time I went back to top even though the shaver looked a little strange with the heads sticking out the top like palm tree. Once I shaved with it, I realized the pivot point allowed the heads to easily follow the contours of your face and neck. Combined with the Ultratrack heads and the great digital display, this is the best razor yet! Super smooth shaves and very fast.
When you rinse the heads and leave them open in the holder to dry, it looks like a scene from the StarTrek traction-beam scene. I'm starting to think the design is actually pretty cool, so I gave it a 5 also!

This razor is efficient and its ease of use is incrediblysmooth.
I have a double chin and with this razor I get an incredible, total shave. No need to touch-up or scrape away missed stubble with a razor blade. Five minutes or less and I’m done. I never thought my morning shave would turn into such an enjoyable experience. Bravo on the design of the floating heads.

CLEANING
It is a pain to have to wash the heads every time the razor is used.
