I have owned Norelco shavers for years and this is THE BEST shaver I have EVER purchased!! It is QUIET!! It gives a FAST, SMOOTH, and COMFORTABLE shave. I have trouble with razor burn on my neck at times, but not yet with this unit. If your thinking about buying this item then STOP thinking, BUY!!!!
I needed a new razor. June 27, 2010

I needed a new razor as the battery on the old razor finally gave up the ghost. After much research and reading many reviews, I chose this razor. I've had the razor for a bit over a month and have charged it twice.
It looks good on the bathroom counter while taking up little space standing in it's counter top holder, has a strong motor, no fancy whistles or bells and doesn't bog down when giving you a shave. I find that I have to pass it over my hard to shave facial areas several times more than I would expect but very comfortable and no razor burn. For me, a clean, satisfying shave which is what it's all about day-after-day, six/seven days a week. The razor holds a charge for over a week and makes for an excellent travel razor you can depend on.
Expensive? Maybe. But when you go into a drugstore to find an electric razor, junk stuff costs three-quarters of what this costs. So, for the price, considering the alternatives on today's drugstore shelves, money well spent. After over a month of using this tiger, I won't hesitate to give this razor a big thumbs up recommendation.
Hope the above helps.

I had a Panasonic Foil Razor that would not charge so I decided that since I had an older Norelco Electric Razor I would search them out again for purchase. I researched both them and Remington Razors and always came back to Norelco.
I decided on the 8250 because it has a low charge indicator built in. I am sure the 8240 will work as well. The price was right on Amazon with free shipping so I got this one.
I give this unit 5-stars because it shaves me very close. It does not sound like the blades are spinning very quickly, but it works extremely well. Do I have the thickest beard in the world, no, but I do use this every weekend, and I use a regular blade razor throughout the week. Could I use this everyday? Absolutely.
If there is one thing I semi-dislike it is that the Razor has it's own stand but you cannot charge it in the stand. I sent a question to Norelco when I registered it and they responded that if the stand allowed re-charging it would diminish the battery in the long term due to being constantly charging. I can live with that. I clean the razor out every use by running water through the head areas and leave it open to dry for about an hour or so. Hopefully that will extend the life of the cutting heads.
Bottom line is this: If you have an average to above average beard (meaning not having a 5 o'clock shadow at noon already) then this is a great razor. If you get it with free shipping you'll be quite happy with it.

I purchased this Norelco 8140XL razor because my old Norelco model would not run anymore. I needed a good reliable razor. I selected this model because it was a Norelco, it was economical and it included a "low charge" light. In my occupation, I am on the road most of the time, and my old razor did not have a low battery indicator. So I had to leave it plugged in most of the time, because I could not risk a bad battery right when I needed a shave. With this model, I only have to plug it in when the "low charge" light comes on. Hopefully, this will result in a longer-lasting battery since it will only be charged when it needs to be, and I do not have to guess when to plug it in. So far I am very happy with its performance (I have had it 3 weeks) and am quite satisfied with the purchase.
