The product lasted 19 years!!!

I bought this shaver on 04/30/16, I changed blades only one time, and it lasted until two days ago. This shows the quality of the products that you sell. Congratulations!!! I bought Philips Norelco Shaver 5400, and I liked it very much. I am aware that shaver 4100 is discontinued. However, if there is a chance to purchase the battery, I will do so. Please, let me know.

Perfect

This razor is exactly what I wanted. It provides a great shave and is solidly built. I have had a model of a razor of this style since I first started shaving in 1976. I needed a new one and was afraid it might not be built to last as some things these days are. I was very happy to find that this razor is every bit as well built. The added convenience of Aqua Tech a wonderfull. It make the razor a snap to clean. Highly recommended.

Simply the best, bar none !!!!!

I have been using this electric razor continuously since Nov. 24th of 2013. This is the best electric shaver I have ever used (EVER).....AT810 Aquatec.

Pros

If you love a quick and reliable shave every time you can't go wrong with this razor. It is simply the best shaver on the market in my estimation.

Cons

Just be sure you get the correct replacement head for your razor. Do not get an after market replacement heads, use only the heads recommend for your razor. The after market's will cut you to death !!!

This shaver is comfortable to use

I like this product because it is lightweight and comfortable to hold. It runs quietly and doesn’t irritate the skin at the base of my neck. I wear a full beard, and the pop-up trimmer keeps the outline of my beard straight. I can shave off stray hairs easily. The whole head disassembles for washing under warm water to keep it clean.

Pros

Pros include the above review plus the reasonable cost to purchase the unit.

Cons

I have no cons at this time.
