 Great shaver, beats foil types November 1, 2009

I finally gave up on my Braun razor when the trimmer broke and I was just not satisfied with the closeness of shaves. I have had the Norelco8245XLD now for about a month and there is no comparison with the Braun, even though the Braun was tops in the Consumers Report a few years ago. Because the Norelco has rotary blades that travel in just one direction they can incorporate complex double blade cutting wheels that first lifts the whisker then cuts it below the skin line providing a closer shave then vibrating foil razors can. The Norelco's three floating heads do an excellent job following the contours of my face. There were whiskers on my neck that the foil razor could never seem to cut and I would occasionally have to cut them with a blade, the Norelco cuts them without a problem.
When I first turned on the razor after fully charging it I thought there was something wrong with it, it was so quite and it sounded like it wasn't up to speed-- not true-- it gave a great shave and the speed was fine, it just sounded so much more quite then the Braun.
Another nice thing about this razor is that you can flip open the shaving head without removing it and wash it with tap water-- no big docking station and expensive cleaning baths.
The razor holds a charge for over two weeks at least, I just recharge it at two week intervals. I would remove one star for not having a low battery light and no travel storage for the charger.

Another iteration of a reliable shaver. My last one is still going strong after 7 years. Would have been nice to include a 12v cord for the car, but at least the attachment is the same from previous shavers so I can re-use the old one.
 What a diasppointment !! October 14, 2009

I have owned a number of Norelco shavers over the last 25 years and loved them all -- until this one. First the good -- It shaved OK but the motor ran slow. The bad -- the head tended to fall off during cleaning, there is no indicator to show battery charge status so shaver stops without notice, no space in case for the brush, power cord, instruction book, etc. so the accessories had to be packed in a plastic sandwich bag when I traveled. I've used the shaver for a month but I'm returning it and will look for a model with the features this one is missing. I'm still a Norelco fan but I hope my loyalty is not misplaced.
Disappointing shave January 5, 2010

I bought this at Costco after shaving for a long time with a Norelco 8175. The 8245 came in a bundle similar to the one advertised here for about $80, except with a set of replacement heads instead of the charging stand. I figured it was a good deal, as the set of replacement heads runs between $30-$35 on its own. The 8245 seemed weaker than my old 8175, taking many more passes to get a good, close shave. Every so often, the 8245 plucks whiskers instead of cutting them, something that never happened with the 8175. I heard or read somewhere that I should beware of "gray market" items at discount stores; the suggestion being that manufacturers were creating lower quality versions of their products specifically for discounters (such as by using weaker motors or other components of lower quality than those used in versions sold in retail stores). I kept my eyes open for the 8245 at local retail stores, but never saw it anywhere but at Costco. Recently, I came across a great "clearance" sale at a local retailer, and picked up the 8250 to compare to the 8245. It seems to me that the 8245 simply gives a weaker shave than the 8250. The 8250 gives a great shave with far fewer passes. I tried to find the specifications for the motors used in both the 8145 and 8250, but was unable to, in either the manuals or at the Norelco website. I give the 8245 two stars in comparison to the 8250; it still gives a decent shave compared to other single-track electrics.
