Below are the pros and cons of the Philips Norelco 7240XL shaver according to its users.
Pros
- Smooth, fast and close shave comparable to razor
- No razor burn
- Blades conform easily to the user’s angular features without needing to stretch skin.
- Do not need to press against the skin where a lighter touch works better.
- Shaves two day old beard as easily as one day old
- Shaved longer hairs on neck without pulling
- Trimmer is equally effective
- Quiet
- Easy to clean with tap water or brush
- The shaver stands upright on counter without need of a base
- The shape provides a good grip regardless of how it is held
- The shaver picked up neck hair and 2-3 day growth with no problem
- The shaver can be used directly from the cord because if the battery dies during use, the users can plug it in and finish shaving before recharging it
- The price is cheaper compared to other brands that produce the same results
Cons
- The shape may take some getting used to
- It does not work as well as razor blade at the area near the ears
- The battery is awful. It takes 12 hours to charge and the charge dies very quickly (with no warning or charge indicator) and the battery dies if the shaver is left in a cold place
- The shape of the shaver doesn’t work well for cutting above the mouth hair
- It looks cheap because it’s made of cheap plastic material
- It takes 8 hours to fully charge, quite long compared to other brands
- The shaver comes without a carrying case, and has no settings for making the shave closer or less close (unlike the earlier model)
- The trimmer cuts just fine, but it folds back too easily while you’re trying to use it
- In places on the face where there are hard and sudden turns, the user needs to go over that area many times
- It just doesn’t shave as closely as its predecessor
