This self-cleaning travel shaver is great for taking on the road as it shaves fast and cleans up with little mess or fuss. The EL 6000 fully charges in less than an hour and also has a quick charge feature if you need to sneak a shave in a hurry. The rotary shaver's flexible shaving head moves with the contours of your face for a smoother, closer shave, with fewer nicks. In addition, the head hosts ten separate razor blades which rotate at high speed to shave closely and comfortably. This shaver contains a pop-up trimmer for grooming sideburns, mustaches, or beards. When shaving is complete, the EL 6000 cleans up quickly and easily, as it is equipped with the world's first rotary inner blade. To activate cleaning, remove the foil and lock the protective cap over the blades, and then simply run water over the built-in rotary washer brush. The vented cap lets water in over the blades, and with the help of the water flow, pushes razor stubble out, resulting in thoroughly clean blades. The shaving kit includes a water-resistant travel bag, a worldwide charging adaptor, a cleaning brush, and is covered by Eltron under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Favorite shaver October 22, 2008
Scott Robinson (New York, NY USA)

First off my background. I have always used electric shavers. I do not like vibrating shavers at all.
Long ago, circa late 1990, I bought a Hitachi rotary shaver. Although it had unique problems I really liked that shaver. It had two spinning heads that were ultra smooth with zero vibration. But alas Hitachi left the US market and I could not get parts to replace the heads. So I moved on to Norelco. The heads on Norelco's rotaries, 3 circular heads, are not nearly as smooth as Hitachi's cylinder rotary.
Fast forward to 2008. I discovered that Hitachi makes a rotary shaver under the Eltron name sold in the US. It has the same rotary cutters as my previous Hitachi but only one. At around $50 I had to give it a try. Could I get the magic back?
Review: This rotary shaving system is the same as my old one. It has some features that are improvements and some are not.
First the not so good. The case is made of kind of a cheap plastic. This is definitely not one of Hitachi's high end machines, which are apparently only available in Japan. It only has one cutter head. This is not a problem but I would have spurged for a two head model. This model also has an inherent problem at both ends of the foil, as previously reported. Hair does tend to get stuck in there and it pulls. This is a design flaw. However, I have discovered that if something like clear nail polish is applied to the ends the problem disappears. Also if the shaver is low on battery the shaver can stop during shaving while still locked on the beard. This can be unpleasant but it rarely occurs. It also does not do particularly well with a beard grown for a few days (that was also the problem with the original Hitachi).Leave that to Norelco which is also more quiet. Lastly, the battery is nickel cadium so it is subject to memory loss.
The good: This shaver is ultra smooth with no vibration, but please remember that this shaver is designed to work in one direction. It is currently my everyday favorite shaver. I use it in conjuction with a Norelco 9000 series for those days when I have skipped shaving for a couple. The Elton shaves at least as close or closer than the Norelco. It has a unique, built-in cleaning method that is excellent. The popup trimmer is easier to use than the one on the Norelco. If the battery is low it can be used with the cord immediately. It comes with a nice case and is a steal at $50.
EL-6000 Wisker Pulling June 25, 2008

Received as a Fathers Day Gift. Provides a very good shave with a 1 to 2 day beard. However with a 3 to 4 day beard the shaver would capture and pull individual whiskers. On my shaver the whiskers are being captured between the foil and plastic end caps. I have made this issue known to Eltron and will see what their response will be. Other than the tourture of the whisker pulling the shaver does an excellent job. Hopefully this is a bad manufacturing run issue and not a design issue. I like the shaver enough that I am devising a fix should Eltron not be interested. This is the only rotary (reel) shaver that is available in the USA as it is almost impossible to get the Hitachi equivalent here. Hitachi has a wet/dry version that is very interesting.
 Not so good as it is priced April 4, 2010

Pros:
It shaves quiet and clean. The foil cover that cannot be lost is very convenient.
Cons:
Efficiency is very low because of the small diameter of the rotor and little size of the foil therefore shaving takes long time.
Manual says that with fully charged battery it provides 7 shaves, but in reality it barely does only 3.
The biggest drawback is that shaver pools out hair time to time that makes shaving kind of torture.
