| The Philips norelco PT730 power touch electric razor provides you with the quality, closeness, and classic electric shave convenience that you've come to expect from a cordless Philips norelco razor. Dynamic contour response flexing heads automatically adjust to every contour of your face and neck while its (patented) super lift and cut dual-blade action lifts hair to cut comfortably close below skin level. Combine this with a Dual Precision shaving system that effectively removes long hairs and short stubble, and the Philips norelco PT730 produces a shave that's both smooth and comfortable. The PT730 also incorporates a pop-up trimmer for performing detailed trimming around areas such as sideburns, beards, and mustaches. And best of all it's fully washable, so it can be rinsed clean in your sink after each use. With the ability to be used either cordless or with a cord and a voltage that automatically adjusts from 240 volts AC, the PT730 can be used virtually anywhere. An 8-hour full charge will last for up to 140 minutes of cordless shaving and its quick charge system can power the razor for a shave after only 3 minutes of charging. |

I recently purchased the PT730. I have owned a Norelco 5842 XL for 26 years. It has dropped down to about 1 week of use per charge from the 6 weeks it was for many years. I am only on my second set of shaving heads. I just got tired of charging it weekly. The old razor outperforms the PT730 in every way. The only advantage the new one has is that it is lighter and quieter and that is mostly due to it having a marginal motor. It has no more than half the power of the old razor. I was also surprised to find that it doesn't shave as closely as my 15 year old cutting heads. Maybe things have to wear in a bit for optimum closeness.Fortunately for me, the PT730 does an adequate job because I don't have very heavy whiskers. For those who have light to medium whiskers, this shaver will be fine. If you have manly-man stubble I would suggest looking for something with more power. If you require a very close shave, look elsewhere as well.UPDATE - I have had... |

Let me start off by saying that the purpose of buying a rotary razor is for shaving my head. I am a bald male who prefers not to use a razor blade across my head and instead enjoys the comfort of using an electric razor as an alternative.Norelco has always been my choice of rotary razor, and for years I have been using various models. The most recent model was their Speed-XL series (with HQ9 replacement heads) which are expensive but well made. After owning this particular model for the past 3 years, I decided it was time to replace the unit.I found out that buying a new Norelco razor is not an easy chore. If you are reading this review, you probably have been knocked silly by the sheer amount of different Norelco razors that the company sells through Amazon. One has no clue (outside of the reviews) which is the newer models or which one is superior to the other. As of this review, I think the PowerTouch razors are the new line of offerings this year... |

I've used Norelco shavers for ... at least 4 decades. My latest shaver gave up the ghost after a decade. I ordered the PT730 as a compromise between frills (battery indicator) and features (pop up trimmer). The special pricing by Amazon was a strong inducement.My first impression is that the shaver is built very cheaply for the price. It is lighter, possibly owing to the switch from heavier Ni-Cd batteries. The cut is less efficient than had from prior Norelco shavers, possibly because the motor seems to spin at a slower speed. I suppose the razor is OK, but its definitely not the best.ADDENDUMI find that I have to use a regular blade every week or so to "catch up" with overgrowth. After a year or so, I'd have to conclude that I'm not impressed with this razor. |
