Is this the most recent model for this shaver? or did they come out with another one like "wahl professional 9050" or something like that.

I agree. It's very noisy. Much more so than previous Panasonics and Braun. Also, for me it did not shave well, wet or dry. Another problem is that the shaver heads get HOT and uncomfortable, soon after you start shaving.

If this is the Norelco I reviewed previously, I'd get another shaver ie Norelco 4821xl

Yes, I'd say it was identical, and I am so surprised by the negative reviews. All I can think is that perhaps a batch was manufactured that had a defective part. I've had mine for almost 2 months & use it every day. (I use it on footies that pill, so I need it daily for them.) I bought it for use on sweaters, and it's the best sweater shaver I've had, including one that plugged into the wall.

That one uses the SP62 or a redesigned version DA, DF, according to the electric shaver store.

Not working for Amazon I can only look at what I got. The box only shows the model # as 6940 but if I open up the head of the razor the model number listed there is 6940LC and the instruction book is listing it as 6940LC as well.This unit has the flip up sideburn trimmer and I think that is only on the LC model.

I was looking for HQ55 which are no longer available, and found that the HQ56 was a good substitute for it. I do not know specific model application for shaver heads.

I like the 8250XL. Shaves great, rinses clean easily, and lets you shave with the cord if battery runs down during a shave. I have the newer wet/dry fancy-shmancy razor, but it shaves no better and is a bit awkward to use in my view. The 8250XL is a good buy. I've used Norelco razors for decades!

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

I have had numerous Remington shavers including this one. Sorry to report that all of them have the same amount of noise. I also have a Norelco and it is much quieter.

The R4-5150A would make a reasonable replacement for the R845. The pivoting head is different but works at least as well as the fixed head in my opinion. The battery is probably better but I've only had mine for three months: so far a charge lasts me about a month. The shave is close and quick and the trimmer works well. The R4-5150A doesn't come with a carrying case but if you have one that fits the R845 you can use that. Overall the R4-5150A is as good or better than any shaver I have owned previously.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

A heads up to everyone who hasn't bought this yet: Amazon now has it available for preorder, available Sept. 1, 2014 as direct from them with Prime shipping. And at a discount from the $ 64.99 MSRP: As of today, $ 49.65. I recommend locking in the price now. If it goes up, you've saved. They have a policy if there's a price drop up to when it is released, you get it at that price. Sweet! Heres the listing : Philips Norelco RQ12/62 Replacement Head for Series 8000 and ArcitecThe picture looks different cosmetically. The actual cutting heads look similar to the original functionality, and should work for all shavers. I preordered this for my 1290X.
