Philips Norelco 1100 Electric Shaver, Deep Black

Norelco has been in the rotary shaver business for a long time and their quality has never been in question. I was looking for a "corded" model because rechargeable devices always seem to have issues. When I shave, I am never far awat from an outlet and being corded, all of the battery issues go out the door. Basic and reliable, that's the ticket. The shave is not as close as a blade, but it is very close. It has reliable power and should hold up over time.

I’ve been a Phillips/Norelco corded shaver owner for years. This is a basic corded electric shaver that “Old Schoolers” like me count on. It’s hard to improve on the standard. It has a few changes from my last 1100 series shaver but it’s basically the same reliable shaver. Kudos to Norelco on keeping the OG available.

I've been buying Philips Norelco Shavers for years now. This is at least my third or forth purchased over the years. I was looking at other brands this time and ended up buying another Philips Norelco. The biggest reasons were it uses a regular AC Power cord and extra blades for purchase are readily available. Other brands I was checking out all uses a USB connector and did not contain a regular AC plug. For me, I use my shaver in the bathroom in the morning. Who has a USB port in their bathroom? The fact it could plug into an AC outlet was huge. My older version of this shaver contained a trimmer, but this has been eliminated now with this latest model. Another difference is it does not contain a battery so it has to be plugged into an AC outlet to use it. But the most important aspect is, after using it for a couple of days, it gives the closest shave I think I have ever gotten in the past with an electric razor. Forget the knock off brands where you need a USB port and can't find replacement blades. I'm glad I went with this Philips Norelco.

This electric razor works as advertised. On another review, the person stated that the cord was stiff and held the curves from the cord being folded and tied in the package. That was true and and what I did to straighten the cord was to hang the cord so that the shaver kept tension on the cord. After 2 days of hanging, the cord is still stiff but straight and easier to manage. As far as the shave quality, I have a Norelco 2000 series shaver that costs more than twice the price as this one. The blades run slower than the other model but if you slow down your shaving motion, it shaves as good as the more expensive one of the same brand. I do recoment this shaver.

Summary: Weighs nothing, terrible quality, loud, does not shave evenly or close and causes cuts that are worse than razer burn on the face. I have had 2 Norelco electric razers in my long life. The first was my fathers and he had it for 10 or 20 years before me. My second was before Phillips took over the company. Those razers were amazing. Heavy duty (Weighed at least half a pound), close shave, and lasted forever. The first thing I noticed when I opened it and picked up the box was thinking they sent an empty box. I was confused because I could see a plastic looking razer inside. It took 15 minutes to get the box open without ruining it. Some weird one piece Oragami folded nightmare. When I got the razer out, it weighed almost nothing. It was hard to believe there was a motor inside. I thought maybe it was a manufacturing glitch and it didn't get a motor. The box seemed to weigh more than the razer. I though "Well technology is much better these days, maybe it's just this lightweight. I attached the plug and clicked the button. I hear spinning, but it sounds like a high pitched rattle. Much louder than the ancient ones I had owned before which had a lovely quiet hum. I put it on my face and noticed that the floating heads moved like my old one, but less smoothly, and I started to shave. It felt uncomfortable, but I was not sure if it was snagging hairs or the floating heads were just sharp or something else. I kept going in the same area and it kept making noise like in the video of it cutting hairs. Much louder than the old ones. But I would keep going over the same area again and again and it was still making sounds like it was cutting. I ran my fingers over the area and the whole area had stubble, but patches of it were longer than others, so I tried going in different directions and it eventually evened out, but never got a close shave, just very short stubble. After 15 minutes I got sick of trying and figured it was good enough since I wasn't going anywhere today, but there were still patches of stubble. 15 minutes later, I started feeling burning on my chin and mustache area. I touched it gently and it seemed to burn more. I went to look in the mirror and it was bright red and little bumps with tiny dots of red that were the color of blood, but not blood drops. I looked with a magnifying mirror and saw microscopic cuts. I'm old, but I have good skin. This was not a bumpy area to start with. By the time I did the return online and packaged it back up in a return box, the redness had gone down a lot, but I took pictures and you can still see the damage and bumps. This is just not the same company and the razer is nothing like the quality they used to be. It feels like a cheap plastic toy and it definitely does not work very well. I simply do not understand how there are so many 5 star reviews. The whole point of an electric razer is to be quick (which it is not) and avoid razer burn. I dont get razer burn from my razer blade razer, but I certainly got a lot of it from this. The flat areas of my cheeks did not seem to get this, but they have patchy stubble, so it didn't actually shave evenly or close.

I like the shaver because i wanted a corded one i wouldnt have to recharge. The cord is stiff, and doesnt stay in the shaver very good, continuously falls out.

I bought the Philips Norelco Shaver 1100 Series for my son as he started his shaving journey, and it turned out to be a great first razor. It’s very easy to use, making it perfect for someone learning to shave for the first time. The speed is good, and the shave quality worked well for his needs. He said it felt comfortable to use and didn’t cause irritation. The battery life also holds up well, lasting until it’s time to recharge again. What made it even better was that it turned into a nice father-and-son bonding moment while he learned how to shave properly. Overall, a solid and beginner-friendly electric shaver that worked well for us.

Needed a new electric rotary shaver to replace my dying decades old similar Norelco version, needed something inexpensive that I could plug into an electrical outlet - I have no desire to own a cordless one. Great price on this one, and it works fine from Day 1, highly recommended for guys on a budget.

It is working fine. Have been using Phillips shavers for many years

Charging kewal not parfect

Prise non conforme

Shaves very close and with ease

Phillips es una exelente marca de rasuradoras, durable y cumple con su funsión. Es de cable y va conectada a la corriente para su funcionamiento (no tiene para recorte de patillas). Su potencia es normal pero muy durable y se rasura uno bien y gran producto sobre otras marcas. va en gustos si requiere una rasuradora recargable o con cable con conección a toma de corriente lo que actualmente casi ya no hay de este tipo de rasuradoras porque casi todas son recargables y Phillips tiene esas dos opciones. En lo personal lo recomiendo mucho
