Philips Norelco arcitec 1050CC

1050x - My Thoughts

Author's Rating:

Pros: Nice design.
Competitive shave in terms of closeness.
Pivoting head design contours better to face.

Cons: Questionable value based on cost. 
Must clean too often. 
Carrying case too large and bulky.

Bottom Line:
Try this out using the Norelco 45 day guarantee. If it performs better for you, keep it. Otherwise, downgrade to a Spectra or similar Norelco model and save $20-$50. Read More at Epinions.com
