I have a Norelco 4845XL . Been using it for a few years. I have a heavy beard and it does a poor job of getting it smooth- I just assume its that way with all electrics.
Also, the battery wouldn't take a charge anymore, so I figured it was time to replace it. I opened it up and discovered the battery was soldered in! The norelco service rep also wanted $40 to replace it!!
I emailed the service department, and they gave me a bullshit excuse about the electronics being so sensitive that they have to solder the battery in. As if a battery, switch, and motor in a razor is more sensitive than my digital camera which has replacable batteries!
I would never buy Norelco again just because of that blatant rip-off, and thier condescending attitude.
