Rating: - great shaver, cleaning system superfluous
This is my 4th Norelco, going back quite a few years. My last one was not very good, although the first two were great. The 8160 shaves very close and can handle a two day growth. How long an electric razor stays sharp is very related to how clean it is kept, as hair in the heads will dull the blades faster. To that end, Norelco ships this razor with a motorized stand to clean the razor heads. Basically what it does is submerge the razor in the cleaning fluid and turn it on and off occasionally. So you need not buy the XLCC, just buy the 8160 XL. You can submerge the razor in fluid yourself ... Read More

I have used a Norelco shaver for many years. The 8160 SpeedXL is the best of the Norelco shavers I have used. It provides a close shave in a short amount of time. The unit is also much lighter than previous models I have used. Some of the reviews I read prior to the purchase did cause me to question whether I would like this model, but my concerns vanished when I actually used the shaver.
Rating: - Very Good, Not Great
I have been a Norelco user for more than 35 years. When I got this razor I was amazed at how quiet it was and how closely it shaved. Even my wife noticed the difference. There are no comfort settings, but I did not need any, it was a good shave and not so close that I got ingrown hairs on my face. The charge lasted more than 3 weeks
I thought the cleaning system was a little "cheesy." It does okay cleaning, but you do not want to recharge every time you needc to clean. Loved the razor, but would not get the cleaning system again.
Rating: - my first norelco
I have tried many types of facial hair removal, but i cannot get rid of ingrown hairs without sacrificing a close shave. after the 21 days of skin adjustment, as stateed in the directions, i have a clean shaved face with no bumps. i clean the razor once a week using the solution. i brush the head after every use. i am very happy with this product and it is worth the money. But i did not get a close shave until a couple of weeks after use. So hang in there and follow directions.
Rating: - Good Product - Minor Flaw
Overall, this product is a nice upgrade from my Remington R9170. The only caveat I have is the same one others have noted, after your razor self cleans you need to remove it from the cleaner and let it dry overnight...a wet shave isn't a good shave with this product. This razor provides a closer shave than my Remington ever did. Occassionaly a hair or two will need a few brush overs to get, but that's hardly an inconvience.
