Even I am wondering at the same thing? Did they post that just to make this seem much cheaper?

Well, lacking any evidence that there was a difference worth the money, I purchased the cheaper model, and so far, it seems fine. It came with a separate attachment for trimming moustaches, so I am happy.

I believe the only differences are a different stand that holds an 'additional' brush head on it,as well as a different setting that is 'supposed' to make your teeth whiter(which I highly doubt.The vesrion that's $100 less also has that setting on it as well.I'd simply stick with the one that's the least expensive.Go look at the difference in your local drugstore if you want to 'see' the difference,otherwise play it smart.You'd be spending an extra $100 on basically nothing.

The last Norelco that I had was purchased about 9 years ago and the battery was still ok. I bought a new Norelco because the blades were too dull ( not getting a close enough shave) and the cost of new blades was more than buying the new razor. I never had to consider a battery change.

In time I bought the shaver head RQ12 (1290)cost $50 for one, now I see about $100. It is unclear for me what's happen after 12 months, but at least will be some alarm, then as I think, some possibility to reset the shaver. But I am not sure. I use the shaver once at three days, so I believe, after after 12 months the head must be OK. If shaver locked after 12 months this thing will be trashed immediately and I buy some from another company (or do not shave at all).

If you go to the SpeedXL listing you can click on "Newer Model Available" which directs to Philips Norelco AT830/46 Shaver 4500. That doesn't mean it is equivalent to the SpeedXL, which is my favorite Norelco model. I have a newer one which shaves ok but is noisy and is more plasticky.

Norelco has come out with the RQ12+, which they are recommending to replace the RQ10 & RQ12 for the entire 10xx and 12xx line of razors. The RQ10 & RQ12 are being discontinued.After you have the RQ12+, then you buy the SH90 kit to replace just the cutters, instead of replacing the entire head assembly.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

There is no difference. I just got one direct from Rockwell and ended up paying $72 shipped in AZ. It was just on sale there, now the price is back to $129. Great product!

According to eBay: "Up for sale are brand new and sealed Philips Norelco 1250X/42 SensoTouch GyroFlex 3D Electric Razor w/ the Jet Clean system. Philips also calls this device the Norelco 1250XCC, it is the same device but with a slightly different model number."

Model 6945XL does not have a trimmer. Model 6955XL has a trimmer. 6940LC has a trimmer. I now have a cordless Norelco that also has a low price and it has a trimmer. It is the Aquatec 810. You can move up the Aquatec 814 or 815 which have some extra accessories. I am very pleased with my model 810.

The extra $30 for the 380 (according to the instructions - I have the 340 but the instructions booklet is used for both) gets you a hard case, a charging stand so you don't have to go through the huge trouble of plugging the charging cord directly into the shaver (sarcasm intended), a "precision setting switch" which lowers one of the foils to make it easier to shave under your nose (not a bad idea), and a set of lights that apparently gradually tell you when the shaver battery charge is running down. The 340 has one charge light that starts blinking when its charge is low. Note that the instructions say to run the shaver battery all the way down the first few times and every 6 months thereafter. Note also that the instructions state that a 5 minute charge is enough to get you one shave.

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

I have had a Braun shaver since 1986 always liked it, close shave. I was in the retail business and one of our products was electric razors. I always told a customers if you are happy with your shave results don't change brands just upgrade existing. The ones that decided to purchase a Braun because of my reviews had 30 day money back guarantees. Why series 7 over #5 ? The reviews I read made me feel like the #7 had all the bells and whistles and the razor felt good in my hand. I have shaved pretty much every day for over 40 years , a medium heavy beard my wife had to tell to quit bragging about getting the best shave of my life with the series #7. Best features swivel head, great on the neck, cord can be taken on a trip without the cleaning unit. You can refill the cleaning canisters, it does well on a 3 day growth. Pricey yes, I am retired , If my son had a razor on his gift list this is the one I would buy. Sorry I couldn't make a big comparison.

Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base.go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models. Costco has a great price on a 3d model with no cleaner also. My face is more round than angular and i also read the 2d is better for my kind of face. Plus i can always replace the razor head with a 3d after a year.I was a wet shaver and used an old school saftey razor. That said, i couldnt be happier.sorry for the delayed response.scott Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base.go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models.
