Norelco 1060 Arcitec rechargeable cordless/cord shaver. Three independently flexing heads in a shaving unit that swivels with a full range of motion. This unique combination ensures optimum skin contact in curved areas to catch even the most problematic neck hair. The three shaving tracks of the Triple Track shaving heads offer 50% more shaving surface than standard, single track rotary shaving heads. Ultra thin heads with slots to shave long hairs and unique micro holes designed to catch the shortest stubble. Dual blade system: first blade lifts, second blade cuts for a comfortable close shave. The waterproof shaver can be easily rinsed under the tap. Patented tube trimmer technology for great precision and maneuverability. Perfect for contouring and trimming moustache and sideburns.

Summary: Not worth the money for poor results
Comment: As others have said, I too really wanted to like this razor. I've used a blade for decades, and wanted to believe that an electric razor - purportedly the latest technology version - would work (nearly) as well. I was very disappointed. Yup - it looks cool, very avant garde, and high-tech.
The results I experienced - after 4 weeks of trial as suggested by Norelco - is that I had to shave two or three times a day. I could have had far better results with a blade just once in the morning.
I tried shaving in the shower - which Norelco says works better - with no better results than dry shaving. My razor is on the way back to Amazon for a refund.
My compliments to Amazon for their return policy. I've purchased dozens of items through Amazon, and this is the first major disappointment - and has nothing to do with Amazon, but the lack of performance by Norelco.
Save your money - or explore other options.

Summary: Better than expected
Comment: I have always used Norelco shavers but I was apprehensive because of the new design. I am very pleased and will recommend this shaver to anyone.

Summary: Good but not as good as my old Norelco
Comment: Bought this as a replacement electric shaver. Am a Norelco user now but wasn't totally pleased with this replacement - mainly not as good - in the closeness and smoothness of the shave ( as compared to my old Norelco shaver).

Summary: Happy first time owner
Comment: I've owned the Norelco Arcitec 1060 for a little over 6 months now and I continue to enjoy this shaver. The battery lasts an extremely long time and I rarely have to charge it. The carrying case and stand-up charger/holder both look great and function perfectly. I haven't owned an electric shaver previous to this model so I cannot fairly compare. However, being a first time owner I am happy with my purchase/investment.
The only area of opportunity for me is that despite 3 different sized shaving heads there are many hairs the blade is unable to catch and cut. This primarily occurs around my neck and forces me to use the built in trimmer to cut them. I would say this razor cuts 98% - 99% of what I need it to do and the many pros outweigh this small inconvenience.
Other notable pros :
- Easy to clean
- LED display is convenient

Summary: Another stellar shaver from Norelco
Comment: I've read a lot of bad reviews on this shaver and I just don't understand why it gets such bad marks. Granted, I've never shaved with any other brand than a Norelco, so I may not have a lot to compare it to. For the past eight years, I shaved with a Norelco Advantage/Cool skin. I wasn't in the market to purchase a new shaver, as I loved my cool skin, but after 8 years, it began to come apart (literally). I received this shaver as a welcome and much needed birthday gift. So far it has lived up to my expectations; its precise in the way it cuts the facial hair and it does provide a closer shave on the neck region than my Advantage/Cool Skin model. In order to avoid any razor burn, I dab some Lectric Shave on my face about 30 seconds prior to shaving (great advice for any of you experiencing razor burn). Unlike the Advantage/Cool skin model, the hairs fall into the blade area neatly, which makes cleaning a breeze. All it takes is some lightly running hot water and about 30 seconds. The arcitec 1060 also has a very powerful charger; I've had it now for over two weeks and have only had to charge it once.
Yes, this is an expensive razor and it may not be worth the price you pay for it, but getting it as a gift I can honestly say that I hope to be using this shaver for years to come. It's a quality machine that does what it is supposed to do: provide a close, comfortable shave.
