Overall, good shaver.
Overall, I have been happy with the razor. It shaves closely and the cleaning pod appears to do a good job cleaning the razor. If I had a complaint, it would be the cost of the refill cleaning pods. Philips Norelco states not to refill the cleaning pods, but there are many videos on YouTube that shows people doing it. Overall, I'm happy with the shaver.
Pros
Close Shave
Cons
Replace Cleaning Solution Pod is Pricey
